Particulate Filter And Method For Its Assembly

View page
US Patent:
7981176, Jul 19, 2011
Filed:
Nov 13, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/269931
Inventors:
Fabrizio C. Rinaldi - Jackson MI, US
Keith G. Olivier - Jackson MI, US
Assignee:
Tenneco Automotive Operating Company Inc. - Lake Forest IL
International Classification:
B01D 39/08
US Classification:
55322, 55525, 55413, 55418, 55DIG 30
Abstract:
A particulate filter cartridge has a woven metal fiber filter medium surrounding a perforated support tube. The filter medium is crimped down to the support tube at opposite ends thereof and then welded to the support tube at the crimped regions. A plurality of such cartridges can then be nested within each other and separated by appropriate exhaust gas flow directing baffles to form a particulate filter assembly.

Ultrasonic Acoustic Emissions To Detect Substrate Fracture

View page
US Patent:
8281661, Oct 9, 2012
Filed:
May 27, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/788882
Inventors:
Keith G. Olivier - Jackson MI, US
Thomas Custer - Brighton MI, US
Assignee:
Tenneco Automotive Operating Company Inc. - Lake Forest IL
International Classification:
G01N 29/14
US Classification:
73587, 73602, 73627
Abstract:
A method of detecting a fracture as it occurs in a component during a manufacturing process includes positioning an acoustic sensor in acoustic communication with the component. A manufacturing process is performed while the acoustic sensor remains in acoustic communication with the component. A signal indicative of acoustic emissions from the component during the manufacturing process is provided to a controller where it is determined whether the component has fractured based on the signal.

Fluid Bearing Assisted Assembly Of An Exhaust Treatment Device

View page
US Patent:
20070148057, Jun 28, 2007
Filed:
Dec 21, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/644024
Inventors:
Adam Kotrba - Laingsburg MI, US
Keith Olivier - Jackson MI, US
International Classification:
B01D 50/00
B32B 1/00
B01D 53/34
US Classification:
422177000, 422179000, 428177000, 428920000
Abstract:
Apparatus for inserting a substrate surrounded by a compressible mat into a compartment of a housing of an exhaust treatment device includes an insertion member having a bore shaped substantially identically to a shape of an opening to the housing compartment and a fluid bearing generator establishing a compressed fluid bearing at a surface of the bore. The fluid bearing is operative to reduce a coefficient of friction between the compressible mat and a surface of the bore when the substrate/mat combination is moved axially in the bore into the compartment opening.

Catalytic Unit For Treating An Exhaust Gas And Manufacturing Methods For Such Units

View page
US Patent:
20100143211, Jun 10, 2010
Filed:
Nov 11, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/616568
Inventors:
Keith Olivier - Jackson MI, US
Ruth Latham - Ann Arbor MI, US
International Classification:
B01D 53/94
B01J 32/00
B23P 11/00
G06F 17/11
US Classification:
422179, 29890, 703 2
Abstract:
A catalytic unit, a process for providing a support mat for the catalytic unit, and a process for assembling the catalytic unit are provided. An installed mat density for the support mat being calculated based upon a desired annular cross-sectional area of a gap between a catalyst carrier and a shell of the catalytic unit, with the support mat being sandwiched therebetween. The support mat for the catalytic unit can be provided by first slitting a bulk roll of support mat to form a plurality of end unit specific mat rolls. The support mat can be wrapped around the catalytic carrier to form multiple layers of support mat, with the support mat having beveled leading and trailing edges to reduce variation in material density in the layers of support mat overlying and underlying the leading trailing edges. The support mat can be free of any binder.

Monolithic Exhaust Treatment Unit For Treating An Exhaust Gas

View page
US Patent:
20100239469, Sep 23, 2010
Filed:
Mar 20, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/383152
Inventors:
Keith Olivier - Jackson MI, US
Ruth Latham - Ann Arbor MI, US
Benedikt Mercker - Heuchelheim-Klingen, DE
Steven Freis - Ann Arbor MI, US
International Classification:
B01D 53/34
US Classification:
422180
Abstract:

The monolithic exhaust treatment unit () includes a monolithic structure (), at least two layers () of support mat (), and at least one layer () of metallic foil () sandwiched between the two layers () of support mat ().

Method Of Producing An Insulated Exhaust Gas Device

View page
US Patent:
20110185575, Aug 4, 2011
Filed:
Jan 29, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/696347
Inventors:
Keith Olivier - Jackson MI, US
Steven Freis - Ann Arbor MI, US
Benedikt Mercker - Edenkoben, DE
Ruth Latham - Ann Arbor MI, US
International Classification:
B21D 51/16
US Classification:
2989008
Abstract:
A method is provided for producing an exhaust gas aftertreatment or acoustic device () having a maximum operating temperature Tmax. The method includes the steps of providing a blanket () of silica fiber insulation material having a weight percentage of SiOof greater than 65%; heating the blanket () so that all of silica fiber insulation material is raised to a temperature T greater than Tmax; and installing the blanket () in the device () after the heating step.

Pressure Swirl Flow Injector With Reduced Flow Variability And Return Flow

View page
US Patent:
20110192140, Aug 11, 2011
Filed:
Feb 9, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/023870
Inventors:
Keith Olivier - Jackson MI, US
Stephen Thomas - Laingsburg MI, US
John Lowry - Brooklyn MI, US
International Classification:
F01N 3/28
US Classification:
60274, 60303
Abstract:
A reagent injector with a cartridge design has a body with a reagent inlet, outlet, and a swirl chamber, which has an exit orifice that may be covered and uncovered by a solid, movable pintle. Reagent flows through the injector when the exit orifice is covered and uncovered to cool the injector. An insulator may be disposed between the injector body and a mounting flange connectable to an exhaust system. A flow path ensures cooling of an electromagnetic actuator. Reagent may bypass an orifice swirl chamber when the pintle blocks the exit orifice. Fluid may flow between an outside diameter of a pole piece and an inside diameter of an electromagnetic actuator, through an orifice chamber and return through a central bore housing a solid pintle, around which fluid may flow. Different inner injector body passages may direct fluid into an orifice distribution chamber and out to the solid pintle.
