THERMAL DESTRUCTION PROCESS FOR ELIMINATING POLLUTANTS FROM DIESEL ENGINE EMISSIONS

摘要

A process for eliminating the organic fumes and chemical pollutants from emissions from diesel engines before their emission into the atmosphere provides for the exhaust gases leaving the manifold of the combustion chamber of diesel engines to pass through flow-breaking barriers which are suitably formed and arranged within a highly insulating container. The whole will be made from special inoxidable alloys, and special thermally-insulating and refractory materials. When traversed by the flow of hot exhaust gases, the flow-breaking barriers reach temperatures which are high enough to burn the unburnt hydrocarbons, the organic particles and such as to activate oxide-reducing processes suitable for converting the major proportion of the chemical pollutants.
