  • Publication number: 20120051990
    Abstract: There is described an exhaust gas cleaning apparatus for the cleaning of exhaust gas which originates from a combustion process in a combustion chamber. The exhaust gas cleaning apparatus comprises an exhaust gas flow path which is arranged in fluid communication with the combustion chamber and through which the exhaust gas is flowing, and a cold flame gas supply which provides a cold flame gas. The cold flame gas supply is arranged in fluid communication with the exhaust gas flow path such that the cold flame gas can be injected into the exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust gas flow path and thereby, at least partly, remove impurities such as particulate matter, NOx and hydrocarbons, which are present in the exhaust gas. There is also described a method for cleaning of exhaust gas.

  • Patent number: 7285153
    Abstract: A method with associated equipment for feeding two gases into and out of a multi-channel monolithic structure. The two gases will normally be gases with different chemical and/or physical properties. The first gas and the second gas are fed by means of a manifold head into channels for the first and second gases, respectively. The gases are distributed in the monolith in such a way that at least one of the channel walls is a shared or joint wall for both gases. The walls that are joint walls for the two gases will then constitute a contact area between the two gases that is available for mass and/or heat exchange. This means that the gases must be fed into channels that are spread over the entire cross-sectional area of the monolith. The entire contact area or all of the monolith's channel walls are directly used for heat and/or mass transfer between the gases. This means that the channel for one gas will always have the other gas on the other side of its channel walls.
