  • Patent number: 7473288
    Abstract: This particulate matter reducing apparatus 10 is provided to burn and reduce particulate matter (“PM”) in an exhaust gas 1 of a diesel engine while collecting the PM on each filter 11 at a low collection rate of 50% or less in total. The filter 11 is composed of a wire mesh structure and is formed in a short column shape provided with a central through hole 12.

  • Patent number: 7470407
    Abstract: A reducing apparatus 16 for carbon particles PM is provided with one or more filters 19 of a wire mesh structure. The filter 19 is formed in a substantially short column-shape and is provided with a central through-hole 21 and a pair of exhaust ducts 26. The filter 19 is situated within an outer cylindrical casing 4 on an axis perpendicular to the axis of the outer cylindrical casing 4. Exhaust gas 1 discharged from a diesel engine flows from an outer periphery 22 side of the filter 19 to the central through-hole 21 side, wherein the carbon particles PM contained in the exhaust gas 1 are captured, burned and reduced. A plurality of filters 19, each formed in a hollow cylinder-shape, can also be provided side by side in the same direction as the axis of the outer cylindrical casing 4.

  • Patent number: 5336472
    Abstract: This device provides a honeycomb structure in which stress concentration on a flat plate in the area of weld with a corrugated plate is avoided in the outer side area of the honeycomb structure, for example, the first and second layers from the outside thereof, whereby cracks and exfoliation of the flat plate are avoided in the area of the weld and the core is also protected from slipping out.In honeycomb structure 5, corrugated plate 3 and flat plate 1 are disposed alternately and welded to form a wound block. In the range of at least not less than two layers from the outside in the honeycomb structure 5, two sheets of flat plate 1 are used in a pair so that they overlap without welding therebetween.

  • Patent number: 5316997
    Abstract: An improved heat resisting structure for treating the exhaust gas of a gas engine is disclosed. The heat resisting structure has a honeycomb-form structure formed of corrugated and flat sheets which are alternately overlapped, rolled up, and joined via a brazing filler metal to make a roll-form structure. The brazing filler metal is made of iron(Fe)-base brazing filler metal, and the stainless steel corrugated sheet and flat sheet constituting the base metal are similar in composition. Accordingly, almost no difference exists in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the brazing filler metal and the base metal. As a result, cracks caused by thermal stress between them due to a difference in coefficient of thermal expansion is avoided even when used repeatedly.

  • Patent number: 5084361
    Abstract: A heat resistant structure of a honeycomb type which is used for a catalytic reactor for purification of exhaust gases in the internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. A catalytic carrier matrix is prepared by joining a corrugated sheet and flat sheet which are alternately placed in layers in a wound from. A pair of pieces of brazing materials made of amorphous alloy are interposed along the longitudinal direction of the matrix at predetermined intervals in the width direction of the matrix. A pair of pieces of said brazing material interposed at both end portions of the matrix face each other across the flat sheet and are deviatedly placed from each other in the width direction of the matrix.
