  • Patent number: 10605144
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purification device for a ship including: a main path communicated with outside and a bypass path branching off from a midway portion of the main path, each of the paths serving as an exhaust gas path of an engine to be mounted in the ship. A partition plate, by which the main and bypass paths are partitioned from the upstream side to the downstream side in an exhaust gas traveling direction, extends along the exhaust gas traveling direction. The partition plate has a downstream end extended through between an exhaust gas outflow port of the purification casing and an exhaust gas outlet of the main path, and the downstream end is formed with an opening to serve as a reverse-flow prevention plate.

  • Patent number: 10443469
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purification system includes, as an exhaust gas path of an engine to be mounted in a ship, a main path which is in communication with outside, a bypass path which branches off from a halfway portion of the main path, and a combined casing with which both the main path and the bypass path are in communication. A selective catalyst reduction device is accommodated in the combined casing at a location close to the main path. A path-switching member which switches exhaust gas moving direction is placed in a branched portion between the main path and the bypass path. A reducing agent injection body is placed in the main path between the path-switching member and the combined casing.

  • Patent number: 10132223
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an exhaust purifier (1) which is capable of restoring a pressure difference (?P) and a purification rate (NOx removal efficiency) of a NOx catalyst (14) to the initial states thereof. An exhaust purifier (1) for removing particulate matter adhered to a NOx catalyst (14) by injecting pressurized air using an air injection nozzle (16) into a housing (13) of a catalyst reactor (12) in which the NOx catalyst (14) serving as a catalyst is positioned, wherein the particulate matter is removed by increasing the pressure inside the catalyst reactor (12) to a prescribed pressure (?IP) within a prescribed interval of time (t) by operating an injection valve (17) for supplying pressurized air.

  • Patent number: 9976465
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an exhaust purifier which suppresses unnecessary consumption of pressurization air so as to improve a removal rate of dust. An exhaust purifier for removing particulate matter adhered to a NOx catalyst by injecting pressurized air using an air injection nozzle into a housing of a catalyst reactor in which the NOx catalyst serving as a catalyst is positioned, wherein an injection valve of a soot blower supplying pressurized air into the housing of the catalyst reactor is opened and closed based on an exhaust gas flow rate so as to inject the pressurized air.

  • Patent number: 4296621
    Abstract: A wire coil spring forming machine adapted for use with thick wire prevents breakage of a thin wall in a longitudinal groove in a wire guide member or quill when forming a sharp angle bent between a coil body portion and a leading end loop portion, and permits the start of the next spring leading end loop during formation of last spring trailing end loop. A pair of radially movable members move to advanced positions where they grasp the wire portion of an already formed leading end loop just in front of the longitudinal groove. Another radially movable member abuts the loop to bend it at that point without applying the bending force to the longitudinal groove. A body holder means grasps the body after the main tool forms the trailing end loop to permit severing the semifinished spring from the material wire and bending the trailing end loop.
