NOX SENSOR WITH AMOX CATALYST

摘要

An exhaust system includes an catalytic oxidation device, an particulate trap, a mixer, and a selective reduction catalyst (SCR), an adapter, and a sensor. The SCR is disposed downstream of a mixing tube and reduces oxides of nitrogen in the exhaust gas stream. The oxides of nitrogen are reduced in presence of ammonia on the SCR. The exhaust system also includes an adapter with an inlet and outlet pipe. A sensor is disposed downstream of the SCR, between the inlet and outlet pipe. The sensor is configured to measure an amount of oxides of nitrogen in the exhaust gas stream. Further an ammonia oxidation (AMOX) catalyst is disposed, in the adapter, upstream of the sensor for oxidizing the residual ammonia that may slip through the SCR before the exhaust gas stream reaches the sensor.

1. An exhaust treatment system, comprising:
a mixing tube configured to mix an exhaust gas stream with a reductant and facilitate decomposition of the reductant into ammonia; a selective reduction catalyst disposed downstream of the mixing tube and configured to reduce oxides of nitrogen using the ammonia; and an adapter disposed downstream of the selective reduction catalyst, the adapter comprising an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, wherein both the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are abutted to each other and disposed in a direction of flow of the exhaust gas stream; and a sensor configured to measure an amount of oxides of nitrogen in the exhaust gas stream, wherein the sensor is disposed between the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe, wherein the sensor is coated with an ammonia oxidation catalyst configured to oxidize the ammonia present in the exhaust gas stream upstream of the sensor before the exhaust gas stream reaches the sensor.
