Senya Crushers Small Portable Rock Crushers: What to Know About the Soot Removal System

Small portable rock crushers are valuable pieces of equipment for contractors, construction companies, and businesses alike. They are highly versatile and can crush a wide range of materials; they offer a wide range of cost-saving benefits; they save workers time; they offer space-saving benefits; and they are environmentally friendly. At Senya Crushers, our machinery uses only Tier 4 Final engines and they are required to have an auto regeneration cycle on the soot removal system.

Understanding the Tier 4 Final Engine

A Tier 4 Final engine refers to a specific emission standard set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States for non-road diesel engines. The tier system was introduced by the EPA to regulate the emissions of harmful pollutants from diesel engines, with each subsequent tier imposing stricter limits on emissions. Tier 4 Final is the most stringent and technologically advanced standard in the tier system.

Tier 4 Final engines are designed to significantly reduce emissions of particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are major contributors to air pollution and have adverse effects on human health and the environment. These engines employ advanced emission control technologies and exhaust aftertreatment systems to achieve the required emission reductions.

One of the key technologies used in Tier 4 Final engines is selective catalytic reduction (SCR), which involves injecting a urea-based fluid called diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) into the exhaust stream. DEF reacts with the NOx in the exhaust, converting it into harmless nitrogen and water vapor. This process helps reduce NOx emissions by a significant margin.

The Senya 3 40KW Yanmar engine powered diesel generator is below the threshold required by law to require the use of DEF fluid. The electric motors that run our machines powered by this onboard generator further minimizes the cost to run our crushers compared to crushers requiring bigger engines to directly run their components or hydraulics and/or tracks to move the machinery.

Additionally, Tier 4 Final engines incorporate diesel particulate filters (DPF) to capture and remove particulate matter from the exhaust gasses. The DPF traps and oxidizes the particles, effectively reducing PM emissions.

To ensure compliance with the Tier 4 Final standard, engine manufacturers employ advanced engine controls, fuel injection systems, and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) technologies. These systems work together to optimize engine performance, minimize fuel consumption, and further reduce emissions.

The implementation of Tier 4 Final engines has had a substantial positive impact on air quality, particularly in construction, agriculture, and other industries that rely on non-road diesel equipment. The stringent emission limits have prompted manufacturers to develop innovative engine technologies and cleaner fuels, leading to significant reductions in harmful pollutants and overall environmental improvement.

Understanding the Auto Regeneration Cycle on the Soot Removal System

An auto-regeneration cycle in a soot removal system typically refers to a process where the system cleans and regenerates itself automatically to maintain its efficiency in removing soot particles. Soot removal systems are commonly used in various applications, such as diesel engines, industrial exhaust systems, and air pollution control devices.

The auto-regeneration cycle typically involves several steps, which may vary depending on the specific design and technology used in the system. Here is a general overview of how an auto-regeneration cycle may work:

Soot Accumulation: During normal operation, the soot removal system collects and captures soot particles from the exhaust gas or flue gas stream. Over time, these particles accumulate within the system, leading to reduced efficiency.

Differential Pressure Monitoring: The system continuously monitors the pressure difference across its components, typically using pressure sensors. As the soot accumulates, the pressure drop increases, indicating the need for regeneration.

Regeneration Initiation: Once the pressure drop reaches a predefined threshold, the auto-regeneration cycle is initiated. This can be triggered automatically based on the pressure differential or programmed to occur periodically.

Cleaning Mechanism: The soot removal system employs a cleaning mechanism to remove the accumulated soot. The specific method depends on the type of system. For example, in diesel particulate filters (DPFs), regeneration may involve heating the filter to high temperatures to burn off the soot (regeneration through thermal oxidation) as with the Senya 3. Alternatively, some systems may use catalysts or chemical reactions to aid in the removal of soot.

Exhaust Gas Treatment: During the regeneration process, the soot particles are oxidized or otherwise treated within the system. This can result in the production of high temperatures, gasses, or byproducts, depending on the technology employed.

Regeneration Monitoring:  The system monitors various parameters during the regeneration process to ensure it is completed successfully. These parameters can include temperature, pressure, airflow, and exhaust gas composition.

Cycle Completion:  Once the regeneration is completed, the system returns to its normal operating condition, ready to continue capturing soot particles from the exhaust gas.

Senya Crushers reminds our valued customers that it’s important to note that the specific details of an auto-regeneration cycle may vary significantly depending on the type of soot removal system in question. Different technologies, such as DPFs, electrostatic precipitators, or scrubbers, have their own unique regeneration processes.
