69 results about "Limiting oxygen concentration" patented technology

The limiting oxygen concentration, (LOC), also known as the minimum oxygen concentration, (MOC), is defined as the limiting concentration of oxygen below which combustion is not possible, independent of the concentration of fuel. It is expressed in units of volume percent of oxygen. The LOC varies with pressure and temperature. It is also dependent on the type of inert (non-flammable) gas.

Reduced-oxygen breathing device

The Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device (ROBD2) is an apparatus that dilutes the oxygen present in air to concentrations below 21% by mixing the air with nitrogen. The purpose of this dilution is to simulate the reduced oxygen concentration available as one ascends in altitude. The ROBD2 is unique and different from previous devices that reduce the concentration of oxygen in room air via dilution with nitrogen gas in that it uses sophisticated gas regulating devices known as mass flow controllers. The ROBD also employs a gas extraction device as an independent component of the system that can separate nitrogen gas from air for use in the device.

Low emission diesel combustion system with low charge-air oxygen concentration levels and high fuel injection pressures

This invention sets forth a commercially viable diesel combustion system that meets environmentally acceptable levels of NOx emissions (i.e. 0.2 g / bhp-hr or lower across a full map of engine speeds and loads) without the need for use of NOx aftertreatments, and simultaneously maintains engine-out PM emissions relatively close (e.g. with smoke levels at or below 3 BSN) to environmentally acceptable PM post-aftertreatment levels. The invention achieves these results by operating within a unique combination of parameters. These parameters comprise: (1) charge-air oxygen concentration below 16%, preferably between 10% and 15%, more preferably between 11% and 14%, and most preferably between 12% and 13.5% for virtually all engine operating conditions (but not necessarily at no-load or low load conditions), (2) fuel injection pressures at or exceeding 1800 bar, preferably exceeding 2100 bar, more preferably exceeding 2300 bar, and most preferably exceeding 2500 bar, at most engine speeds and loads, and (3) charge-air mass / fuel mass ratio between 25:1 and 45:1 for medium and high loads. Furthermore, the system is preferably run continuously slightly lean of stoichiometry, providing just enough excess oxygen to facilitate completeness of combustion and to maintain an exhaust oxygen level sufficient for continuous trap regeneration at a balance point in operation.

Exhaust gas purifying method and exhaust gas purifying system

In an exhaust gas purifying system (b 1) that purifies NOx for the exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine (E) through sulfur purging control by a NOx occlusion reduction type catalyst (41), sulfur purging is judged to have started when the oxygen concentration (Co) detected by an oxygen concentration detector (54) disposed downstream of the NOx occlusion reduction type catalyst (41) drops from a first predetermined oxygen concentration indicating that the NOx discharge condition to a second predetermined oxygen concentration indicating that NOx discharge has ended and that Sox discharge has started. Accordingly, during sulfur purging control by the NOx occlusion reduction type catalyst (41), consideration is given to the discharge of NOx without sulfur purging at the start of sulfur purging control; furthermore, this timing is judged by monitoring the concentration of oxygen downstream of the NOx occlusion reduction type catalyst (41), thus optimizing sulfur purging control.
