Optimal System SolutionsPassive Thermal Management • Locate DOCs and DPFs as close as possible to engine outlet • Locate SCR catalysts to allow for lower cost formulations. i.e., consider adding temperature drop for V2O5 catalysts • Appropriate use of thermal • insulation • Requires thorough • understanding of temperatures • throughout exhaust system Source: DieselNet.com PowerGen Asia 2010
Optimal System SolutionsSystem Design for Noise Attenuation • Different emission control devices provide unique acoustical attenuation • Intelligent combinations with traditional silencers can save cost, backpressure and packaging space Combined System DPF Silencer Absorptive silencer DPF unit PowerGen Asia 2010
Optimal System SolutionsIntegrated Emissions and Silencing • Lower backpressure – fewer transitions • Smaller footprint • Lower cost - less material and welding • Improved serviceability PowerGen Asia 2010
Summary • Significant challenges for integrating emission controls: • Cost • Backpressure • Package space • Serviceability • Guaranteeing acoustical performance • Solutions include optimal system design of: • Backpressure distribution • Thermal management • System design for noise attenuation • Integrating emissions and silencing • Exhaust systems can be optimized when designed and supplied as a system instead of as separate “bolt-on” components • Requires detailed knowledge of the complete exhaust system PowerGen Asia 2010
