[0002] Compared with battery technology, engines have significant advantages such as compact structure, high thermal efficiency, and convenient operation and maintenance. However, engines using traditional fuels produce a large amount of carbon emissions, and there is an urgent need to develop new zero-carbon or carbon-neutral fuels to achieve zero carbon emissions from engines.

[0003] Ammonia, as a zero-carbon fuel, can be obtained from fossil fuels, biomass, or other renewable resources. Compared with hydrogen, ammonia is safer and more reliable, has a higher volumetric energy density, and a lower unit energy storage cost. However, ammonia fuel has a high ignition energy, slow combustion, and low efficiency. At the same time, vehicle engines operate under various working conditions, such as cold start and transient conditions, and the pollutant emissions of ammonia fuel are relatively serious at this time.

[0004] The emissions generated by the combustion of ammonia fuel contain relatively more NO and N 2 O, and there is also a lot of unburned NH 3 . The exhaust gas temperature generated by the combustion of ammonia fuel is relatively low, and the temperature needs to be increased compared to the original SCR catalytic reduction. At the same time, there are significant differences in the working characteristics, temperature range, and reductant selectivity of traditional SCR. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a dedicated post-treatment system for ammonia (or ammonia-based) fuel internal combustion engines for NO, N 2 O and NH 3 emissions.

[0035] A multi-effect coupling catalytic conversion system for post-treatment of ammonia-hydrogen engine emissions proposed by the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the system includes an ammonia fuel tank and an on-vehicle hydrogen production device. The ammonia fuel tank is provided with an electric heater and a pressure stabilizing tank; the on-vehicle hydrogen production device includes an ammonia cracker; the outlet of the ammonia fuel tank is connected to the inlet of the ammonia cracker. The engine is provided with an intake passage and an exhaust passage; the outlet of the ammonia fuel tank is respectively connected to the intake port of the ammonia cracker and the intake passage. Specifically, the ammonia fuel tank is provided with a first outlet and a second outlet.

The exhaust port of the ammonia cracker is connected to the intake passage through exhaust pipe A, and the intake passage is connected to the external air.

[0036] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, on the exhaust passage, in the direction of the gas flow from the connection end with the engine, there are sequentially connected a passive ammonia adsorber (PAA) 4, a three-way catalytic converter (TWC) 6, and an integrated post-processor 8 through pipe segments. The connecting pipe segment between the passive ammonia adsorber 4 and the engine is the first pipe segment 11, the connecting pipe segment between the three-way catalytic converter 6 and the passive ammonia adsorber 4 is the second pipe segment 13, the connecting pipe segment between the integrated post-processor 8 and the three-way catalytic converter 6 is the third pipe segment 7, and the discharge port of the integrated post-processor 8 is connected to the atmosphere through the fourth pipe segment. A bypass is connected between the exhaust pipe A of the ammonia cracker and the second pipe segment 13. A control butterfly valve 1 is provided on the bypass, and a low-pressure hydrogen nozzle 5 is provided at one end of the bypass located at the second pipe segment 13.

[0037] The passive ammonia adsorber 4 is filled with a passive ammonia adsorber carrier and a catalyst 12; the passive ammonia adsorber 4 adopts an ion exchange process to adsorb and store NH 3 during the low-temperature / cold start stage of the engine (exhaust gas temperature is lower than 250 °C), and allows NH 3 to gradually desorb during the normal exhaust gas temperature stage of the engine (exhaust gas temperature is higher than 250 °C).

[0038] The three-way catalytic converter 6 is filled with a three-way catalytic converter carrier and a catalyst 13; part of the hydrogen generated by the ammonia cracker is injected into the intake passage to be mixed with the ammonia provided by the ammonia fuel tank to form an ammonia-hydrogen mixture for the engine to burn, and the other part enters the three-way catalytic converter 6 through the control butterfly valve 1 and the low-pressure hydrogen nozzle 5 to react with NO; part of the hydrogen generated in the ammonia cracker, under the action of the catalyst in the three-way catalytic converter 6, converts NO in the exhaust gas into N 2 O and NH 3 , and the reaction formula is: NO + H 2 → N 2 O + NH 3 for subsequent centralized treatment.

[0039] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a first carrier 15 and a second carrier 16 are arranged in sequence along the gas flow direction in the integrated post-processor 8, and gaskets 17 are provided between the housing of the integrated post-processor 8 and the first carrier 15 and between the housing of the integrated post-processor 8 and the second carrier 16. The first carrier 15 and the second carrier 16 are provided with internally staggered internal channels. The internal channels of the first carrier 15 are provided with a molecular sieve coating for treating N 2 O, and the internal channels of the second carrier 16 are provided with a noble metal catalyst coating for catalytically oxidizing ammonia into nitrogen and water; after the exhaust gas is treated by the three-way catalytic converter 6, it enters the integrated post-processor 8, and the reaction formula when passing through the internal channels of the first carrier 15 is: 2N 2 O → 2N 2 + O 2 , and the reaction formula when passing through the internal channels of the second carrier 16 is: 4NH 3 + 3O 2 → 2N 2 + 6H 2 O.

[0040] As Figure 2 shown, the first pipe section 11 is provided with a first nitrogen oxide sensor 2 and a first ammonia sensor 3 connected to the ECU of the engine; the fourth pipe section is provided with a second nitrogen oxide sensor 9 and a second ammonia sensor 10 connected to the ECU of the engine. AsFigure 1 As shown, the electric heater, in-vehicle hydrogen production device, control butterfly valve 1, passive ammonia adsorber 4, and integrated post-processor 8 are all connected to the ECU of the engine. The ECU includes a PID control module. In the present invention, the PID control module is based on the exhaust temperature feedback by the engine temperature sensor. In the present invention, the electric heater is used to raise the temperature of the engine exhaust (cold start exhaust) and the ammonia provided by the ammonia fuel tank, and the exhaust before the three-way catalytic converter 6 is temperature-controlled by the electric heater to reach the light-off temperature of the three-way catalytic converter.

[0041] In the present invention, the catalyst in the ammonia cracker can be the ruthenium-on-magnesia catalyst disclosed in the patent document CN108160072A, such as Figure 1 As shown, the exhaust port of the ammonia cracker is divided into two outlets through a tee provided on the connecting pipe A. One of the outlets is connected to the intake passage to supply hydrogen to the engine, and the other outlet is connected to the front exhaust pipe section of the three-way catalytic converter 6 (i.e., Figure 2 the third pipe section 7 shown in) to supply a small amount of hydrogen to the tail gas to achieve conversion in the three-way catalytic converter. At the same time, the hydrogen flow rate is controlled by the control butterfly valve 4 according to the signal of the first nitrogen oxide sensor 2 received by the ECU.

[0042] In the present invention, the coating of the inner pores of the first carrier 12 of the integrated post-processor is a molecular sieve coating with a molecular screening function, which can adsorb NO at a molecular-level pore size and catalyze the decomposition of NO under the action of a certain temperature. In the present invention, the molecular sieve coating can adopt ZSM-5 (molecular sieve containing organic amine cations). Because it has many unique properties in chemical composition, crystal structure, and physical and chemical properties, it has excellent catalytic efficiency in many catalytic reactions. ZSM-5 molecular sieve has good adsorption properties for nitrogen oxides and can also be used as a catalyst to achieve good adsorption and decomposition effects on NO. At present, the more common ones that can adsorb NO 2 O 2 and, under the action of a certain temperature, catalyze the decomposition of NO. In the present invention, the molecular sieve coating can adopt ZSM-5 (molecular sieve containing organic amine cations). Since it has many unique properties in chemical composition, crystal structure, and physical and chemical properties, it has excellent catalytic efficiency in many catalytic reactions. ZSM-5 molecular sieve has good adsorption properties for nitrogen oxides and can also be used as a catalyst to achieve good adsorption and decomposition effects on NO. At present, the more common ones that can adsorb NO 2 O 2Catalytic materials for adsorption and decomposition of O include Fe-ZSM-5 based on iron, Cu-ZSM-5 based on copper, Co-ZSM-5 based on cobalt, etc. Considering that Fe-ZSM-5 has better stability and temperature resistance, and the gases processed by the after-treatment system of automobiles are often in a high-temperature state, which is likely to cause the instability of ZSM-5. In the present invention, Fe-ZSM-5 is used as the coating material in the first carrier 15 of the integrated after-treatment device. Noble metals are used as the catalyst coating in the internal channels of the second carrier 16 of the integrated after-treatment device. In the present invention, it is particularly emphasized that the internal channels of the second carrier 16 of the integrated after-treatment device are staggered with the internal channels of the first carrier 15 to increase the contact time and contact surface of the exhaust gas with the coating in the carrier, and ensure NH in the exhaust gas. 3 Undergo sufficient catalytic oxidation.

[0043] The working process of the multi-effect coupling catalytic conversion system for the post-treatment of ammonia-hydrogen engine emissions in the present invention is as follows:

[0044] When the engine is powered on, the ECU controls the electric heater to start. The ammonia in the ammonia storage tank enters the pressure stabilizing tank after being heated by the heater, and then divides into two parts. One part enters the intake passage, and the other part enters the on-vehicle hydrogen production device (ammonia cracker).

[0045] During the operation of the engine, the exhaust gas passes through the on-vehicle hydrogen production device, and a part of the waste heat is transferred to the ammonia cracker, further promoting its catalytic cracking of ammonia to produce hydrogen.

[0046] Part of the hydrogen generated by the ammonia cracker is injected into the intake port to be mixed with ammonia to form an ammonia-hydrogen mixture gas and supplied to the engine for combustion. The other part is controlled by the butterfly valve and nozzle to enter the three-way catalytic converter to react with NO to generate N 2 O and NH 3 .

[0047] The engine exhaust gas first passes through the first pipe section 11 of the connection section between the engine and the PAA. At the same time, the first nitrogen oxide sensor 2 and the first ammonia sensor 4 respectively collect the NOx and NH3 contents in the exhaust gas and feedback the signals to the ECU. The ECU then adjusts the H entering the second pipe section 13 by controlling the butterfly valve 1 and the low-pressure hydrogen nozzle 5. 2 Flow rate. When the exhaust gas passes through the passive ammonia adsorber carrier 12 during the cold start / low exhaust temperature stage (exhaust temperature < 250 °C), a large amount of NH 3 is adsorbed. At this time, the NOx content is low, and only a small amount of H 2It can be restored; when the exhaust temperature is in the normal stage (exhaust temperature > 250 °C), as the exhaust temperature rises, the passive ammonia adsorption carrier 12 can gradually desorb NH3. At this time, since the engine is in a normal working state and the combustion becomes more complete, there is a large amount of NOx in the exhaust gas. At this time, the exhaust gas is mixed with the hydrogen gas ejected from the low-pressure hydrogen nozzle 5 in the second pipe section 13 and then reacts in the three-way catalytic converter carrier 14 to generate N 2 O and NH 3 , and then enters the first carrier 15 of the integrated post-processor through the third pipe section 7 to catalytically decompose N 2 O into N 2 and O 2 . In the second carrier 16 of the integrated post-processor, the O 2 generated after passing through the first carrier 15 is used to catalytically oxidize NH 3 into N 2 and H 2 O.

[0048] In summary, the integrated emission post-treatment system for the multi-effect coupling of the ammonia-hydrogen fuel engine involved in the present invention uses PAA, TWC and the integrated post-processor to perform segmented catalysis and integrated treatment on NOx and NH 3 , optimizes the emission post-treatment system of the traditional engine, and realizes a more compact structure and lower emissions.

[0049] Although the present invention has been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. The above specific embodiments are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the inspiration of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art can also make corresponding changes without departing from the purpose of the present invention. For example, in the cold start state of the engine in alpine regions, due to extremely deteriorated combustion and relatively low exhaust temperature, it can be considered to configure an additional electric heating device for the three-way catalytic converter TWC to enable it to start burning as soon as possible under alpine conditions. The above-changed technical solutions fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
