Abstract: A particulate matter reduction apparatus for a diesel engine, which can reduce particulate matter in a convenient manner with a relatively simple structure, while preventing the shortening of the lifespan of a filter and improving particulate matter burning efficiency, is provided. The particulate matter reduction apparatus includes a housing configured to be placed on a flow path into which exhaust gas is discharged from the diesel engine, a filter configured to collect particulate matter contained in the exhaust gas that flows in the housing, electrodes configured to transmit electronic signals to the filter, and a control unit configured to control the electric signals provided to the electrodes. The particulate matter reduction apparatus is advantageous in that particulate matter is burnt and removed by directly heating the filter. In addition, the apparatus is more convenient, compared to a system which requires a filter to be separated and cleaned.

Abstract: A filter assembly includes: a cylindrical diesel particulate filter disposed on a flow passage through which an exhaust gas from an engine is discharged, the filter having gas flow passages formed and disposed therein by dividing an inner space into a lattice form; and an electrode unit disposed at at least one of both side surfaces of the filter, the electrode unit receiving electric power to heat the filter. A plurality of regions resulting from division into a lattice form in the filter have alternately disposed open and closed sections. A device for reducing an exhaust gas including the above filter assembly is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasmatron structure for heating working gas in a DC arc discharge at the atmospheric or lowered pressures and can be used for different electronic, engineering, or vehicle-building industries and for medicine. An object of the invention is to provide improved effectiveness of process gas activation and increased completeness of plasma-chemical reactions. These objects are achieved in a DC arc plasmatron comprising a rod cathode, a nozzle anode having a body member and a through axial orifice, a power supply unit connected to both electrodes, and a gas system for feeding plasma-forming gas into inter-electrode space and supplying suitably selected technologic gas or gas mixture into the anode orifice through an internal opening communicating with said orifice and positioned between its inlet and outlet parts.
