Abstract:
A retention system for use with an aftertreatment module is disclosed. The retention system may include a first support mat disposed on at least one surface of the at least one catalyst substrate. The retention system may also include at least one support plate having a corrugated portion disposed on the first support mat. The retention system may further include a second support mat disposed on the corrugated portion.
Abstract:
A machine, such as a hauler at a mining site, includes one or more bolted (clamped) joints. Friction coatings are applied to surfaces of two or more materials being clamped to reduce clamp load loss. The friction coatings include one or more coated surfaces and one or more interstitial spaces between the coated surfaces. Various materials may be used as the friction coating including, but not limited to, a tungsten/carbide or stellite/carbide alloy, iron base alloys such as POLYMET alloys, including PMET 290 (an alloy of iron, chromium, boron, manganese, silicone, and nickel), a nickel chromium alloy, e.g., Ni-20Cr, aluminum oxide (Al2O3) particles, and various combinations of these and other suitable materials.
Abstract:
A heat exchanger for an exhaust gas recirculation unit is provided. A tube core of the heat exchanger includes a plurality of coolant channels disposed between a plurality of exhaust gas tubes extending from an upstream face to a downstream face. A coolant inlet line and a first coolant outlet line is disposed in a first quarter section of the tube core defined between the upstream face and one fourth of a length of the tube core adjacent to the upstream face. The first coolant outlet line is configured to draw at least a portion of a coolant flow across the upstream face and into the first coolant outlet line. Further, a second coolant outlet line is provided and is configured to discharge a remaining portion of the coolant flow from the plurality of coolant channels that was not drawn out of the first coolant outlet line.
