Title: Innovations of Filip Acke in Exhaust Gas Purification
Introduction
Filip Acke is a notable inventor based in Göteborg, Sweden. He has made significant contributions to the field of exhaust gas purification, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of internal combustion engines, particularly in reducing harmful emissions.
Latest Patents
One of Acke's latest patents is a method and arrangement for purifying exhaust gas in an internal combustion engine. This invention involves a comprehensive process that includes de-sulfurization of the LNT (Lean NOx Trap) and regeneration of the particulate matter filter. The method consists of several phases: initiating a heating phase to generate sufficient heat for de-sulfurization and regeneration, followed by a de-sulfurization phase where the engine produces rich exhaust gas while keeping emissions within safe limits. This is succeeded by a regeneration phase that generates lean exhaust gas, ensuring thermal safety for the particulate matter filter. The process is designed to be repeated periodically for optimal performance.
Another significant invention by Acke involves a method and apparatus for converting NO (Nitric Oxide). This patent describes a process where the temperature in a NO-LNT is controlled by adsorbing NO at a specific temperature below a predetermined value. After reaching the maximum storage capacity, the LNT is heated to the predetermined temperature, followed by a regeneration process using reducing agents.
