  • Patent number: 11845032
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purification filter includes a cell assembly including cells and a partition wall, seal members, and a skin member. The partition wall has a porosity of 50% to 70%. The skin member has a thickness T of 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm. The partition wall includes crossing portions, each cell has at least one part of an outer periphery defined by a corresponding one of the crossing portions, the at least one part of the outer periphery is rounded to have a value of radius of curvature R being 0.02 mm to 0.6 mm A degree of distortion ? being a degree of change in the external dimensions of the filter in axial direction, is greater than 0 and is 1.5 mm or less. A value of a structural variable X, expressed by Equation 1 below, is 0.05 to 6, X=T×R/? . . . Equation 1.

  • Patent number: 11845033
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purification filter includes a cell assembly including cells each having a quadrangular cross-sectional shape and a partition wall, seal members, and a skin member. The partition wall has a porosity P1 of 50% to 70%, and the skin member has a porosity P2 of 50% to 70%, the porosity P1 and the porosity P2 satisfy a relationship P1<P2. A difference between the porosity P2 and the porosity P1 is 20% or less. The partition wall includes crossing portions, each cell has at least one part of an outer periphery defined by a corresponding one of the crossing portions, the at least one part is rounded to have a radius of curvature R, each cell has a radius r of a hydraulic diameter, the radius of curvature R and the radius r of the hydraulic diameter satisfy a relationship 0.2<R [mm]/r [mm]<1.

  • Patent number: 11840949
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purification filter includes a honeycomb structure part and sealing parts. The honeycomb structure part has a porous partition wall and a plurality of cells defined by the partition wall to form exhaust gas flow paths. The sealing parts seal alternately a gas inflow-side end face or a gas outflow-side end face of the cells. The exhaust gas purification filter includes fine pores with diameters of 10 ?m or less measured by the mercury intrusion method that account for 5% or more of all pores by volume in the honeycomb structure part. The partition wall has a plurality of communication pores communicating between the cells adjacent to the partition wall and has constricted communication pore of which a largest diameter ?1 and a smallest diameter ?2 satisfy relationships ?1?50, 100×?2/?1?20.

  • Publication number: 20220054978
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purification filter comprises a base material part, a catalyst layer, and sealing parts. The base material part comprises porous partition walls. The catalyst layer is supported on pore walls of the partition walls. The partition walls supporting the catalyst layer comprise 10% or less of pores having a pore diameter of 50 ?m or more. In the pore diameter distribution in the partition walls supporting the catalyst layer, the pore diameter D50 at which the cumulative pore volume becomes 50% is 10 ?m or more. The pore diameter D50, and the pore diameter D10 at which the cumulative pore volume becomes 10%, satisfy the relationship of the following Expression 1. (D50?D10)/D50?0.
