  • Patent number: 8356473
    Abstract: A device is provided for injection of a liquid agent, such as fuel or reducing agent, into the exhaust line from a combustion engine. The device (1) has a nozzle arrangement (20) having a nozzle head (21), from which the liquid agent is injectable into the exhaust line. The nozzle arrangement (20) has a first conduit (22) leading to the nozzle head (21) for supply of compressed gas, preferably in the form of compressed air, to the nozzle head, and a second conduit (23) leading to the nozzle head (21) for supply of the liquid agent to the nozzle head. The nozzle head (21) is provided with at least one outlet opening (24) connected to the first conduit (22) and to the second conduit (23), through which outlet opening the liquid agent is injectable into the exhaust line under atomization thereof after mixing with compressed gas in a mixing zone (25) inside the nozzle head.

  • Publication number: 20120079814
    Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation system (10) for recirculating exhaust gases from an exhaust conduit (9) of a combustion engine (1), particularly a large combustion engine having an engine power of 500 kW or more, to an air intake (3) thereof, which system comprises:—two or more particulate filters (12a, 12b) arranged in parallel with each other;—valve means (17) for selectively switching the respective filter between an active state and an inactive state, the valve means being configured to allow exhaust gases to pass from the exhaust conduit to the air intake through a filter which is in the active state and to prevent exhaust gases from passing from the exhaust conduit to the air intake through a filter which is in the inactive state; and—filter regeneration means (40) for selectively initiating a regeneration of the respective filter when the filter is in the inactive state.

  • Patent number: 6625978
    Abstract: A device and a method for exhaust gas purification in a combustion engine comprises an arrangement (30) for recirculating exhaust gases from the engine (1) to an air intake (2) thereof. An exhaust gas purification arrangement (31) is adapted to convert constituents in the exhaust gases to less environmentally hazardous substances. A filter arrangement (32) comprises at least one filter (33) adapted to liberate the exhaust gases from particulate constituents. This filter (33) is adapted to purify EGR-exhaust gases only. According to another aspect of the invention, 2 the filter (33) is aged in heat transferring relation to at least one convener unit (34) of the exhaust gas purification arrangement so as to receive, from the convener unit, a heat addition to promote regeneration of the filter by combustion of paniculate constituents deposited therein.
