The fuel injector may be configured to reduce production of particulate matter during combustion of fuel. The fuel injector may have a spray nozzle having a tip and a plurality of spray discharge orifices formed on the tip. The plurality of spray discharge orifices being configured to discharge fuel vapor at a flow rate of 750-795 cc/min.
Abstract:
A method of controlling exhaust gas temperature in an engine system including an internal combustion engine, a supercharger, a supercharger bypass arrangement and an exhaust aftertreatment module. The supercharger bypass arrangement is operable to selectively direct intake gas substantially to the supercharger or to direct the intake gas to the engine substantially bypassing the supercharger. The method includes determining an engine load and selectively controlling operation of the supercharger and supercharger bypass arrangement, based upon the engine load, to control the temperature of the exhaust gas to maintain it in a predetermined temperature range associated with the exhaust aftertreatment module.
Abstract:
A coil assembly for electrically connecting a spark plug with an ignition system for a combustion engine having a cylinder head is provided. The coil assembly includes an electrical transducer member having an elongate portion and a head portion. The coil assembly also includes a sleeve structured and arranged to support and seal the electrical transducer member from an ambient environment. A first end of the sleeve defines a sealing groove. The sleeve also includes a shoulder portion defined at the first end. The shoulder portion of the sleeve is in an abutment relationship with the step in the cylinder head coinciding with an assembled state of the sleeve with the cylinder head. The coil assembly further includes a sealing member received within the sealing groove of the sleeve. The head portion of the electrical transducer member is sealed with the second end of the sleeve in the assembled state.
Abstract:
A method is provided for controlling an engine system including an engine, a controller, a clean emissions module (CEM), and a cooling system driven at least partly by the engine system for regulating a temperature of at least part of the CEM.
Abstract:
A method for determining if a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device that is dosed with a reductant is being mis-dosed by considering an expected exhaust gas output state from the SCR device and measured exhaust gas output state, a NOx sensor sensitivity figure that is an indication of how sensitive the measured exhaust gas output state is to dosing errors and performing cross-correlation operations.
Abstract:
An emissions cleaning module electronics support unit includes a base member which defines at least one seating location for an electronics module; and a roof member includes a first end joined to the base member and a second end, distal the base member, coupled to a brace or one or more conduits of the emissions cleaning module. The roof member may be shaped to extend up and over the base member so as to create an open-mouthed cavity. The base member may include one or more apertures creating tortuous thermal paths between the attachment member and electronics module seating location.
Abstract:
An emissions cleaning module includes a flow conduit having an upstream end fluidly connected to a source of exhaust fluid and a downstream end fluidly connected to a mixer module. An injector module has an outlet orientated to inject injection fluid into the flow conduit upstream the mixer module. A low pressure cavity downstream the injector module outlet is fluidly connected to the flow conduit or the mixer module by an open mouth orientated such that a flow of exhaust fluid along the flow conduit flows over the open mouth creating a pressure reduction within the low pressure cavity.
Abstract:
A cooling system for a machine system is disclosed herein. The machine system includes an internal combustion engine, a plurality of heat generating systems, an energy recovery system, and a cooling system. The energy recovery system is adapted to produce an electrical output and includes a condenser to condense a working fluid that circulates within the machine. The cooling system includes a plurality of fans, a condenser fan, and a control unit. The plurality of fans and the condenser fan are powered by the electrical output. The fans are adapted to cool the heat generating systems. The condenser fan is adapted to cool the condenser. The control unit is adapted to selectively control each of the plurality of fans, based on load requirements of the corresponding heat generating system. Therefore, the control unit optimizes and maximizes heat transfer by the condenser fan to the working fluid.
Abstract:
An auxiliary coolant tank for an exhaust aftertreatment system is provided. The auxiliary coolant tank includes an inlet connection port and an outlet channel. The outlet channel includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion extends parallel to a plane of a first side and a plane of an upper face. The first portion includes a fluid pick-up port at an end of the first portion. The fluid pick-up port is proximal to a first upper corner. The first portion is connected to the second portion at a location proximal to a second upper corner. The second portion extends parallel to a plane of the third side and the plane of the upper face. The second portion includes an outlet port at an end of the second portion.
