Abstract

The apparatus for diluting exhaust gas according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a stagnant air forming unit configured to form stagnant air by decelerating a flow velocity of introduced exhaust gas, an ejector unit connected to a front end of the stagnant air forming unit and configured to discharge the exhaust gas to a front, and a dilution unit coupled to a front end of the ejector unit.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An apparatus for diluting exhaust gas, the apparatus comprising:
a stagnant air forming unit configured to form stagnant air by decelerating a flow velocity of introduced exhaust gas;
an ejector unit connected to a front end of the stagnant air forming unit, provided with
an exhaust gas suction passage, which is a passage through which the stagnant air is introduced from the stagnant air forming unit and the exhaust gas flows, and
a dilution air supply passage, which is a passage through which introduced primary dilution air is branched and supplied to a plurality of points of the exhaust gas suction passage, and introducing the exhaust gas through the exhaust gas suction passage and discharging the exhaust gas toward a front by a difference in pressure according to a supply of the primary dilution air; and

a dilution unit coupled to a front end of the ejector unit and supplying secondary dilution air to primary dilution gas discharged by mixing the exhaust gas and primary dilution air to generate secondary dilution gas.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the stagnant air forming unit includes:
a diffuser unit provided with an introduction hole into which the exhaust gas is introduced, and having a gradually increasing radius along a direction in which the exhaust gas flows.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein:
the stagnant air forming unit further includes:
an air retention part in which the exhaust gas decelerated through the diffuser unit is retained and an outlet hole for discharging the exhaust gas along the flow direction is formed; and
a sampling outlet part extending in a direction perpendicular to the air retention part to discharge the exhaust gas toward the ejector unit.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the dilution air supply passage includes:
a main passage through which the primary dilution air is introduced from an outside;
a first branch passage branched from the main passage to supply the primary dilution air to a rear end portion of the exhaust gas suction passage; and
a second branch passage branched from the main passage and supplying the primary dilution air to a front end portion of the exhaust gas suction passage.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein:
an end portion of the first branch passage is formed to surround the rear end portion of the exhaust gas suction passage to discharge the primary dilution air toward a front of the rear end portion of the exhaust gas suction passage, and
an end portion of the second branch passage is formed to surround the front end portion of the exhaust gas suction passage to discharge the primary dilution air toward a front of the front end portion of the exhaust gas suction passage.

6. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein:
the exhaust gas suction passage includes
a first suction unit that is formed in a rear end portion of the ejector unit and has a tube diameter gradually decreasing toward a front,
a first accelerator that is formed at a front end of the first suction unit and has a constant tube diameter,
a second suction unit that is formed at a front end of the first accelerator, produces a 1-1st dilution gas by mixing the primary dilution air introduced through the first branch passage and the exhaust gas, and has a tube diameter gradually decreasing,
a second accelerator that is formed at a front end of the second suction unit and has a constant tube diameter, and
a diffuser that is formed at a front end of the second accelerator, produces a 1-2nd dilution gas by mixing the primary dilution air introduced through the second branch passage and the 1-1st dilution gas, and has a gradually increasing tube diameter.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a preheating unit between the stagnant air forming unit and the ejector unit to preheat the exhaust gas.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , the stagnant air forming unit includes:
a diffuser unit having an introduction hole into which the exhaust gas is introduced in a first flow direction, and the diffuser unit having a gradually increasing radius along the first flow direction in which the exhaust gas flows;
an air retention part configured to retain the exhaust gas decelerated through the diffuser unit and including an outlet hole configured to discharge the exhaust gas along the first flow direction; and
a sampling outlet part extending in a direction perpendicular to the air retention part to discharge the exhaust gas toward the ejector unit in a second flow direction, the second flow direction being perpendicular to the first flow direction.
