Specification

DESC:[001] The present disclosure generally relates to a cooling system. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a cooling system to reduce urea injector tip temperature in the phase of exhaust after treatment system (EATS) and method of manufacturing thereof.
[002] The implementation of BSVI norms in the automobile industries has created a challenging opportunity to reduce the NOx from exhaust gases of the heavy diesel vehicle exhaust after treatment systems (EATS). Further to minimize NOx, a chemical reaction occurs in EATS with the help of liquid urea injection. The utilization of liquid urea reduces the NOx by the ways of converting into N2 and H2O, because NOx is a harmless and not suitable for healthy environmental condition. Further liquid urea solution popularly also known as Ad-blue is added with the help of a very fine hole injector into EATS. The Ad-blue spray happens when the vehicle is in running condition. The injected Ad-blue solution is usually sprayed at a temperature of 200 centigrade. Hence the higher temperature of exhaust gases doesn’t affect the injector internal parts in working condition.
[003] But during the engine shut down condition; the temperature of exhaust gas goes high and urea dosing is not functional resulting into sudden rise of urea injector tip temperature. Therefore, due to high exhaust gas temperature, the injector components get heated and this result into melting of rubber seal inside injector. The immediate solution to control the injector temperature is under control is by using a liquid coolant. However, the conventional engine coolant used to cool injector requires a separate complex & expensive circuit and also the water-cooling circuits comprising a moving part such as pumps, wherein the pumps performance get deteriorates over time. The higher maintenance and replacement cost of injector or coolant system parts hinders the vehicle functioning and make complete system complex and a costly affair.
[004] Therefore, there is an unmet need of cost effective, simple, user friendly and easily retraceable cooling system instead of above-mentioned complex and costly cooling system to reduce Urea injector tip temperature in Exhaust After Treatment System (EATS).
[005] The present invention relates to a cost effective, simple, user friendly and easily retraceable cooling system and method of manufacturing thereof.
[006] The present subject matter discloses a retraceable cooling system to reduce urea injector tip temperature exhaust after treatment system (EATS) comprising an injector housing with slots for air supply tubes, which get activated by sensor working in synchronous manner with injector dosing, thereby injected air reduces the high temperature of the exhaust gas present in the system, hence reducing the injector tip temperature, and an automatic activation system to control the flow of dosing depend upon the injector temperature.
[007] Here the existing ambient air available in compressed air cylinders of the vehicle act as coolant, thereby no need to have additional coolant like existing system leads to increase the cost of the vehicle. The ambient air of the vehicle mixed into the exhaust gases, which immediately drops the temperature nearby injector. Further the cooling jacket for injector through which engine coolant is circulated and the air tube circuit attached with compressed air container already present in the vehicle. Thereby the existing air supply prevents direct contact of exhaust air with injector avoiding possible failures.
[008] The present subject matter also discloses a process to reduce urea injector tip temperature exhaust after treatment system (EATS), wherein injector mounting with groves to facilitate air supply connected with one main inlet. Further the sensor to work in synchronous with urea dosing sensor for ultimately automatic valve or switch for turning on air supply to connecting tube assembly to compressed air container.
[009] The cooling system of present invention comprising an injector housing with slots for air supply tubes, which get activated by sensor working in synchronous manner with injector dosing. The injected air reduces the high temperature of the exhaust gas present in the system, hence reducing the injector tip temperature. The moment dosing stops’ and injector temperature starts to rise the air supply gets activated automatically. Supplied air dilutes the exhaust air around the injector and stabilizes the injector temperature by a considerable amount. The instant prevention of the possibility of high temperature improves the life of injector components and also reduces the outlet temperature of exhaust air during shutdowns.
[0010] The coolant of present invention replaced by inexpensive ambient air which is already available in compressed air cylinders in the vehicle. Instead of using a coolant the ambient air is mixed into the exhaust gases which immediately drops the temperature nearby injector.
[0011] The present invention also provides a process wherein injector mounting with groves to facilitate air supply connected with one main inlet. Further the sensor to work in synchronous with urea dosing sensor for ultimately automatic valve/switch for turning on air supply to connecting tube assembly to compressed air container.
[0012] In one embodiment, the present subject matter discloses a cooling jacket for injector through which engine coolant is circulated. It requires its own circuit, sensor, pump and cooling jacket. Our solution provides an inexpensive and highly effective cooling approach of injector without depending on engine coolant. Our solution ensures an immediate temperature drop as the colder fluid is directly mixed with the exhaust gases not through a water jacket.
[0013] In another embodiment, the setup contains only air tube circuit attached with compressed air container already present in the vehicle. Further air supply prevents direct contact of exhaust air with injector avoiding possible failures.
[0014] Here the system is present invention is reliable in reducing injector temperature with immediate effect, no moving parts involve and low maintenance/replacement cost, wherein free ambient air is used as cooling fluid
[0015] The cooling system of present invention may be applied to various models of vehicles to not just various vehicle, where mixing of air with working fluid doesn’t impact performance of component. Here ambient air will always be at lower temperature than engine air hence diluting exhaust with ambient air reduces the exhaust exit temperature posing less threat to outer components near exhaust release.
