Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of filter structures optionally comprising a catalytic component, for example used in an exhaust line of a diesel-type internal combustion engine.
- Filters for the treatment of gases and the removal of soot typically from a diesel engine are well known in the prior art. These structures most often have a honeycomb structure, one of the faces of the structure allowing the admission of the exhaust gas to be treated and the other side the evacuation of the treated exhaust gas.
- the structure comprises, between these intake and discharge faces, a set of adjacent ducts or channels, most often of square section, with axes parallel to each other separated by porous walls.
- the ducts are closed at one or the other of their ends to define inlet chambers opening along the inlet face and outlet chambers opening along the discharge face.
- the channels are alternately closed in an order such that the exhaust gases, during the crossing of the honeycomb body, are forced to pass through the sidewalls of the inlet channels to join the outlet channels. In this way, the particles or soot are deposited and accumulate on the porous walls of the filter body.
- porous ceramic filters for example made of cordierite, alumina, aluminum titanate, mullite, silicon nitride or a silicon / silicon carbide mixture are used for the filtration of gases. or silicon carbide.
- the particulate filter is subjected to a succession of filtration phases (accumulation of soot) and regeneration (removal of soot).
- filtration phases the soot particles emitted by the engine are retained and are deposited inside the filter.
- regeneration phases the soot particles are burned inside the filter, in order to restore its filtration properties.
- the porous structure is then subjected to radial, tangential thermomechanical stresses and intense axial, which can lead to micro-cracking likely over time to cause a severe loss of filtration capacity of the unit, or even its complete deactivation. This phenomenon is particularly observed on monolithic filters of large diameter.
- filtering structures associating several blocks or monolithic unit elements in honeycomb.
- the elements are most often assembled together by gluing by means of a glue or cement of a ceramic nature, hereinafter called seal cement.
- seal cement a glue or cement of a ceramic nature
- Examples of such filtering structures are described in particular in patent applications EP 816 065, EP 1 142 619, EP 1 455 923, WO 2004/090294 or WO 2005/063462.
- the coefficients of thermal expansion of the different parts of the structure must be of substantially the same order.
- the assembled filters currently marketed for light vehicles typically comprise approximately 10 to 20 unit elements having, in a cross-section, a square, rectangular or hexagonal section and whose elemental surface in section is between about 13 cm 2 and about 25 cm 2 . These elements consist of a plurality of channels of usually square section.
- the increase of the pressure drop as a function of the soot loading level of the filter is in particular directly measurable by the loading slope ⁇ P / M su ⁇ e s, in which ⁇ P represents the pressure drop and M sul es the accumulated soot mass in the filter.
- filter elements whose shape and the internal volume of the inlet and outlet channels are different.
- the wall elements follow one another, in cross section and following a horizontal row and / or vertical channels, to define a sinusoidal shape or wave (wavy in English).
- the wall elements typically wave a half-period of sinusoid across the width of a channel.
- the thermal mass of this type of filters known from the prior art makes it possible to limit the thermal gradients and thus to avoid thermal shocks during the regeneration phase. Furthermore, the transformation of pollutant emissions into the gas phase (ie mainly carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned hydrocarbons (HC), or even nitrogen oxides (NO x ) or sulfur oxides (SO x )). less harmful gases (such as water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2) or nitrogen gas (N 2 )) require additional catalytic treatment.
- the most advanced current filters thus additionally have a catalytic component.
- the catalytic function is generally obtained by impregnating the honeycomb structure with a solution comprising the catalyst or a precursor of the catalyst, generally based on a precious metal of the platinum group.
- the catalyst may, cumulatively or alternatively, be introduced into the fuel.
- Such catalytic filters are effective in the treatment of pollutant gases when the temperature reached within the filter is greater than the minimum temperature of activity of the catalyst.
- An initiation or activation temperature is also defined, which corresponds, for given pressure and gas flow conditions, to the temperature at which a catalyst converts 50% by volume of the polluting gases into non-polluting species. Depending on the pressure and gas flow conditions, this temperature generally varies between about 10O 0 C and about 240 0 C for an SiC-based filter comprising a noble metal catalyst of the platinum family.
- the so-called "light down” time also known as the time of defusing or deactivation, corresponding to the time required for the hot filter to reach substantially, during cooling, on average and in all its volume, the catalyst initiation temperature. This period is characteristic of a given filter and the catalyst used, whether the catalyst is previously deposited on the filter or introduced into the fuel.
- the object of the invention is to propose a filtering structure which, at constant mass, has a better filtration efficiency, in particular in terms of defusing time, and a lower loading slope than the known structures of the prior art. .
- the subject of the invention is a structure for filtering particles-loaded gases of the honeycomb type and comprising a set of longitudinal adjacent channels with parallel axes separated by porous filtering walls, said channels being alternately plugged at either end of the structure so as to define inlet channels and outlet channels for the gas to be filtered, and to force said gas to pass through the porous walls separating the input and output channels, said structure being such that in cross-section:
- porous walls have corrugations so as to be concave with respect to the center of the inlet channels and convex at their center with respect to the center of the outlet channels,
- the output channels have at least one rounded corner.
- the corrugated walls preferably represent at least a quarter or even half of the walls of the structure, the others may for example be rectilinear.
- all the walls are not corrugated, it is preferred that, along a given axis, all the walls or one wall out of two are corrugated.
- each inlet channel may have two concave walls with respect to its center and facing each other, each outlet channel having two walls facing each other. and being convex in their middle relative to the center of the channel.
- each input channel has only one concave wall with respect to its center
- each output channel has only one convex wall in the middle. in relation to the center of the canal.
- other configurations are possible, for example in which, along the two axes, one wall out of two is corrugated, the channels having two contiguous walls concave or convex and two straight walls.
- all the porous walls have corrugations so as to be concave with respect to the center of the inlet channels and convex in their middle relative to the center of the outlet channels.
- the structure is such that, in a cross section, the porous walls along a first axis are rectilinear, while the porous walls along a second axis, perpendicular to the first axis, are corrugated so as to be concave relative to the center of the input and convex channels in their middle relative to the center of the output channels.
- the corrugations are preferably sinusoidal, in particular such that the ratio T between the amplitude (h) and the half-period (p) is less than or equal to 0.2, in particular to 0.15.
- the amplitude h is defined as the distance between the highest point of the sinusoid and the lowest point.
- the ratio T is preferably less than or equal to 0.12 and / or greater than or equal to 0.05, especially 0.07 and even 0.9. Too high a ratio may limit too much the volume of the output channels which leads to an increase in the pressure drop and may make it more difficult to manufacture the filters. Too low a ratio is too close to a conventional structure with square channels and flat walls to fully benefit from all the advantages of the invention.
- the half-period of the sinusoidal walls is preferably equal to the period of the filtering structure.
- the period of the filtering structure is defined as the distance between the center of an output channel and the center of an input channel adjacent to that output channel.
- the ratio R is preferably between 1.1 and 2.0.
- the structure obtained can be described as asymmetrical, in the sense that the overall volume of the input channels is greater than the total volume of the output channels. This This configuration makes it possible to increase the area available for filtration and / or catalysis, thereby decreasing the pressure drop of the filters and the soot loading slope.
- the exit channels preferably have two or at least two rounded corners, and preferably four rounded corners. All corners are preferably rounded.
- the output channels preferably have four corners, in particular all rounded. Their transverse section is in this case delimited by at least two (and in particular four) convex walls in their middle relative to the center of the channel.
- the radius of curvature of the or each rounded corner of the outlet channels is preferably such that the ratio of the period of the filtering structure to the radius of curvature is between 1, 5 and 1000, preferably between 2 and 500, and even more preferably between 4 and 100, or even between 5 and 20.
- a too high radius of curvature penalizes the pressure drop, whereas a radius of curvature that is too small does not make it possible to obtain, in a completely satisfactory manner, the advantages related to the invention.
- Input channels may also have one or more rounded corners, including 1, 2, 3 or 4 rounded corners.
- the rounded corners may also have a radius of curvature such that the ratio of the period of the filtering structure to the radius of curvature is between 1, 5 and 1000, preferably between 2 and 500 and even more preferably between 4 and This characteristic is however not preferred because it leads to increase the thermal inertia of the filters, which can certainly contribute to improving the thermomechanical resistance of the filter, but at the expense of the activation time of the filter. catalyst.
- the input channels therefore do not have rounded corners.
- the soul of a wall is defined as an imaginary line which, in a transverse section, shares a given wall in two portions of equal thickness.

- the ratio E c / E mn is preferably greater than or equal to 3, in particular 3.1.
- the section of the channels in cross-section is preferably constant over the entire length of the structure. It is also preferred that the sections of all the output channels are identical, with the possible exception of the channels located at the periphery of the filter structure or the channels of the structures located at the periphery of the filter. The same characteristic is also preferred for the input channels.
- the thickness of the walls is preferably between 150 and 500 micrometers, in particular between 200 and 500 micrometers, or even between 300 and 400 micrometers.
- the channel density is preferably between 150 and 500 micrometers, in particular between 200 and 500 micrometers, or even between 300 and 400 micrometers.
- the porosity of the material constituting the filtering walls of the filter is preferably between 30 and 70% by volume and / or the median pore diameter is preferably between 5 and 40 ⁇ m.
- the walls are preferably based on silicon carbide, which has a very good chemical resistance and at high temperatures.
- the walls may also be of a material chosen from cordierite, alumina, aluminum titanate, mullite, silicon nitride, sintered metals, a silicon / silicon carbide mixture, or any of their mixtures.
- At least part or even all of the surface of the inlet channels is preferably coated with a catalyst intended to promote the elimination of pollutant gases (such as CO, HC, NO x ) and / or soot.
- pollutant gases such as CO, HC, NO x
- the filtering structure described above may thus be deposited, preferably by impregnation, at least one active catalytic phase, preferably comprising a precious metal such as Pt, Pd, Rh and optionally an oxide selected from CeO 2, ZrO 2, or one of their mixtures.
- a precious metal such as Pt, Pd, Rh and optionally an oxide selected from CeO 2, ZrO 2, or one of their mixtures.
- the active principle is usually deposited according to well-known heterogeneous catalysis techniques, in the porosity of a support layer in general based on oxide with a high specific surface area, for example alumina, titanium oxide, silica, ceria or zirconium oxide.
- the invention also relates to an assembled filter comprising a plurality of filter structures as previously described, said structures being bonded together by a cement.
- Structures can be, in cross section, square, rectangular, triangular or hexagonal.
- a hexagonal shape has the advantage of improving the thermomechanical resistance of the constant mass filter and thus allows the use of larger monolithic structures.
- Another subject of the invention is the use of a filtration structure or of an assembled filter as previously described as a depollution device on an exhaust line of a Diesel or Petrol engine, preferably Diesel.

- the pressure drop was measured according to the techniques of the art, for a gas flow rate of 250 kg / h and a temperature of 250 ° C. on the new filters (not loaded in soot).
- the various filters are previously mounted on an exhaust line of a diesel engine 2.0 L run at full power (4000 rpm) for 30 minutes then dismantled and weighed to determine their initial mass. The filters are then reassembled on the engine test bench with a
- This test aims to measure the catalyst initiation temperature.
- This CO and HC conversion temperature was here determined according to an experimental protocol identical to that described in application EP 1759763, in particular in its paragraphs 33 and 34. The test was carried out on samples of monoliths cooked and impregnated with catalyst such as previously described.
- the flow of gas to be cleaned up is cooled to a constant mass flow rate of 60 kg / h of gas from 400 to 150 ° C.
- the time required for the monolith is then measured. so that its average temperature is equal to the catalyst priming temperature
- the filter according to the invention has an open front surface and a specific filtration surface area higher than that of the filter of the prior art (example 1) for the same WALL, therefore the same mass of monolith.
- This change in geometry which consists of a local increase of the thickness of the wall at the outlet channels, has the effect of significantly increasing the defusing time of the catalytic activity. If the load loss in the unloaded state is slightly higher, while remaining acceptable, the loading slope is lower than for the filter reference, which is favorable to the reduction of overconsumption of fuel due to the presence of the filtration device.
- the filter according to the invention has a shorter defusing time and a higher pressure drop while remaining perfectly acceptable for the application.
- the filter according to the invention has, compared to Example 2, a significantly higher open face area and a significantly higher filtration surface area, and especially a significantly lower loading slope.
- the filter according to the invention therefore has the best compromise with regard to the different properties required.
