NOx reduction system for diesel engines, using hydrogen selective catalytic reduction

摘要

An emission control system for reducing NO_x in the exhaust of a diesel engine. A partial oxidation system receives diesel fuel from the engine's fuel tank and partially oxidizes the diesel fuel into hydrogen. The hydrogen is then introduced into the main exhaust line and the hydrogen-enhanced exhaust is delivered to a hydrogen selective catalytic reduction unit, which uses the hydrogen to convert the NO_x to nitrogen.
