A flow-through particulate incineration system coupled to an aerodynamically regenerated particulate trap for diesel engine exhaust gas

摘要: A flow-through particulate incineration system is coupled to an aerodynamically regenerated diesel engine exhaust gas (soot, condensed polynuclear aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons ash) trap (418). An chamber (430) provided downstream of the particulates dislodged from (418) during regeneration thereof by a pulse compressed air. During regeneration, valve (434) between opens allow air entrained particles pass into passage therethrough, but prevent particulates, whereby are retained in (430). heater (464) periodically activated burn collected trap. The oxidation products may be exhausted ambient or returned intake (472) recirculation system.
