Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In order to follow up the state emission requirement policy, reduce carbon dioxide emission, the traditional fossil fuel engine gradually changes, and the research of replacing fossil fuel with carbon-free fuel is also mature. Hydrogen has low ignition energy, strong lean combustion ability, wide combustion range and fast flame propagation speed, which is an ideal carbon-free fuel. However, hydrogen is low in density, flammable and explosive, and is not convenient to store and transport. Ammonia has high minimum ignition energy and slow flame propagation speed, and is not suitable for use as a fuel alone in a ship engine. However, ammonia has high volumetric energy density and is not prone to explosion, and can be converted into urea, which is convenient to store and transport. Combining the advantages of both, hydrogen and ammonia can be mixed in a certain proportion as fuel for a ship engine.

[0003] The CO2 emission of hydrogen ammonia fuel engine exhaust is zero, the HC and CO emissions are close to zero, but H2, NH3 and high NO X emissions will be generated. The existing device can respectively realize the treatment of H2, NH3 and NO X , but the equipment structure is complex, and because the contents of H2, NH3 and NO X are different, there is often the problem of incomplete NO X treatment. At the same time, compared with traditional fuel engines, the exhaust temperature of hydrogen ammonia fuel engines is lower, and in order to make the exhaust treatment catalyst work efficiently, the exhaust temperature needs to be increased, otherwise there is a problem of insufficient reaction, and the water vapor generated by the end of heating decomposition may condense in the heater, which is easy to cause corrosion in the interior of the heater.

[0025] In the process of exhaust treatment of hydrogen-ammonia fuel engine, the treatment of exhaust gas is based on the surface coating of catalyst module in each catalytic part, which is as follows:

[0026] ①Treatment of H2 in the exhaust gas of hydrogen-ammonia fuel engine

[0027] In the first catalytic part 1, part of NOx in the exhaust gas reacts with all H2 to generate N2; the hydrogen sensor first detects the H2 content in the exhaust gas, if the H2 content is lower than the required H2 content for the normal operation of the first catalytic part 1, the controller controls the hydrogen nozzle to supplement, and in the first catalytic part 1, part of NOx in the exhaust gas reacts with all H2 to generate N2;

[0028] The main reaction occurring in the first catalytic part 1 is: 2NO + 2H2→ N2 + 2H2O;

[0029] ②Treatment of NOx and NH3 in the exhaust gas from the first catalytic part 1

[0030] In the second catalytic part 2, NOx in the exhaust gas reacts with NH3 by redox reaction; the ammonia sensor 22 first detects the NH3 content in the exhaust gas, if the NH3 content is lower than the required NH3 content for the normal operation of the second catalytic part 2, the controller controls the ammonia nozzle to supplement; the temperature sensor 20 detects the temperature of the exhaust gas from the first catalytic part 1, and the controller controls the heater one 4 to heat the gas to ensure the required gas temperature for the normal operation of the second catalytic part 2; in the second catalytic part 2, NOx in the exhaust gas reacts with NH3 by redox reaction. The main reaction occurring in the second catalytic part 2 is:

[0031] 4NO + 4NH3 + O2→ 4N2 + 6H2O

[0032] 2NO2 + 4NH3 + O2→ 3N2 + 6H2O;

[0033] ③Treatment of excess NH3 in the exhaust gas from the second catalytic part 2

[0034] In the third catalytic part 3, excess NH3 in the exhaust gas reacts; the exhaust temperature sensor 20 detects the temperature of the exhaust gas from the second catalytic part 2, and the controller controls the heater two 5 to heat the gas to ensure the required gas temperature for the normal operation of the third catalytic part 3; in the third catalytic part 3, excess NH3 in the exhaust gas reacts; the main reaction occurring in the third catalytic part 3 is: 4NH3 + 3O2→ 2N2 + 6H2O;

[0035] ④Detection of NOx and NH3 in the exhaust gas from the third catalytic part 3

[0036] If the NOx and NH3 are detected to be lower than or equal to the target emission value, tail gas emission is carried out, and NH3 is supplemented according to the original supplement amount; if the NOx and NH3 are detected to be higher than the target emission value, the controller controls the ammonia nozzle to increase the NH3 supplement amount, and the controller controls the air supplement opening 9 to supplement O2. The first-stage catalytic part 1 can remove all H2 in the hydrogen-ammonia fuel engine exhaust gas, avoid the influence of H2 on the performance of the subsequent treatment device, and increase the accuracy of the sensor.

[0037] When the above reaction is carried out, the heater one 4 and the heater two 5 can realize accurate temperature control, and at the same time ensure that the gas temperature is uniform, avoiding the case that the local temperature is too high.

[0039] When air is inhaled, the gas first enters the annular air inlet pipe 12, then is dispersed into the heating bin 10 through the air inlet branch pipes 13 on the annular air inlet pipe 12, is heated by the heating element 11 in the heating bin 10, and is then discharged through the air outlet assembly. The gas is dispersed into the air uniformizing bin 16 through the air outlet pipes 15, then is mixed in the air uniformizing bin 16, so that the gas temperatures in different regions are close to each other, and then enters the corresponding catalytic part through the air outlet 17.

[0040] At the same time, the air inlet assembly and the air outlet assembly are sequentially connected with a cleaning pipe one 18 and a cleaning pipe two 19. After the treatment is completed and the heating element 11 is cooled, condensate will be generated in the heating bin 10.
