Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for producing enameled wires fail to effectively remove nitrogen oxides (NOx) from exhaust gases, leading to environmental and operational inefficiencies, as they require large-scale systems that are costly and unsuitable for compact wire coating devices.

Innovation Solution

A compact exhaust gas cleaning device using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with denitrification catalysts like titanium dioxide, tungsten trioxide, and vanadium pentoxide, combined with an oxidation catalytic converter, efficiently reduces NOx and CO in the exhaust gases, utilizing a 32.5% urea solution as the reducing agent, and an atomizing nozzle for uniform distribution.

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the denitrification catalytic converter within the existing exhaust gas cleaning device structure, nesting it alongside the oxidation catalytic converter. This nested arrangement allows the SCR system to be incorporated into the compact wire coating device without requiring a separate large-scale system, reducing overall complexity while maintaining high NOx removal efficiency.

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a denitrification catalytic converter as an intermediary component that specifically targets nitrogen oxide removal without affecting the furnace temperature or solvent conversion process. This mediator allows the furnace to operate at optimal temperatures for paint curing while the catalyst separately handles NOx conversion in the exhaust stream.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
