Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle exhaust gas treatment technology, and in particular to after-treatment systems, specifically to an exhaust pipe integrated SCR mixer and after-treatment system. Background Technology

[0002] As domestic diesel vehicle emission regulations continue to be upgraded, stricter requirements are being placed on vehicle exhaust after-treatment systems and their core component, the mixer. As a key component of the after-treatment system, the performance of the mixer directly affects NOx emissions.

[0003] The mixer needs to ensure thorough mixing of exhaust gas and the reducing agent (such as urea solution) to improve the conversion efficiency of the SCR system. The mixer also needs good heat exchange performance to ensure that the urea solution rapidly vaporizes and mixes thoroughly with the exhaust gas during injection, which helps improve the conversion efficiency of the SCR system and reduce urea consumption. Because the "China VI" emission standard imposes stricter emission limits under low-temperature and low-load conditions, and the injection volume is increased, the risk of crystallization in the mixer increases. Excessive crystal formation can clog the aftertreatment channels, leading to increased back pressure in the aftertreatment system, insufficient vehicle power, and the risk of emissions exceeding regulatory limits.

[0004] For diesel engines upgrading to China VII emission standards, a dual urea injection system is one of the key solutions. Compared to China VI aftertreatment systems, this system requires the addition of urea injection at the aftertreatment inlet, as well as a pre-mixer and SCR catalyst, posing significant challenges to the aftertreatment system's capabilities.
