CleanCoat new coating technology for the catalytic oxidation of diesel soot. A trailblazer for the environment.

Catalytic soot oxidation in diesel particulate filters with new CleanCoat TM coating. In conjunction with its partner NANO-X, ElringKlinger has developed a special high-performance coating for ceramic diesel particulate filters (DPF). This nano-based coating for catalytic soot burn-off offers significant technological and cost benefits. THE CLEANCOAT TM COATING Based on an environmentally compatible silicate technology without heavy metals or precious metals. Consists of a thin reactive layer just a few atomic layers thick. Suitable for ceramic substrates such as silicon carbide, aluminum titanate, cordierite and mullite. STRUCTURE OF CLEANCOAT TM COATING uncoated coated Highly active centers on the surface Preliminary tests on the effect of the CleanCoat TM coating have demonstrated complete soot oxidation. Temperature: 32 C Silicate matrix 3

Comparison of balance point curves. CARB approval in California, USA. Comparison of coating functionalities: balance point investigations of various exhaust aftertreatment systems. Euro VI filter with precious metal coating versus CleanCoat TM and uncoated DPF, each with identical diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) upstream. In January 212 the Hug mobiclean R TM filter system, comprising oxidation catalyst and diesel particulate filter with CleanCoat TM coating, obtained the sought-after approval of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for on-road diesel vehicles. CARB approval opens up a major part of the US retrofitting market for Hug technology, as Californian emission regulations stipulate that buses and trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 6.34 t have to be retrofitted with diesel particulate filters. A comparison of systems indicated the lowest regeneration temperatures by far for the Hug CleanCoat TM system. The CleanCoat TM coating significantly enhances the continuous soot burn-off by NO 2 and proves to be far superior to conventional systems.

Example: Refuse truck in field test since February 21 S U M M A RY Unlike the standard coated DPF, the mean exhaust back pressure of the CleanCoat TM DPF was always within the In the laboratory and in practice the CleanCoat TM coating demonstrated the catalytic capability to burn-off soot at admissible tolerance without any active regeneration unit. The mean value of the temperature was 165 C. The exhaust gas temperature was above C only 3.2 percent of the running time. Maximum temperature: 43 C Under these cold conditions the CleanCoat TM coating in conjunction with the NO2 from the DOC ensured continuous soot burn-off. low temperatures. Combined with an upstream oxidation catalyst, it offers significantly lower balance point temperatures compared with current state-of-the-art solutions. A lower exhaust back pressure and the reduction and shortening of active regeneration cycles can make a measurable contribution to reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Exhaust aftertreatment systems with DPF and CleanCoat TM coating offer cost benefits over conventional systems. In 212 the first OEM application for an international construction machinery manufacturer was readied for serial production. 6 7
