Abstract:
The present invention relates to an exhaust treatment apparatus (1) for an internal combustion engine (5). The apparatus includes a catalyst chamber (15) containing a catalyst (35). One or more exhaust gas inlets (11 A-D) are provided for supplying exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine (5) to the catalyst chamber (C). An exhaust gas outlet (21) for supplying exhaust gases from the catalyst chamber to a turbocharger (25). An injection nozzle (19) is provided for introducing a reductant (23) into the exhaust gases between the catalyst (15) and the turbocharger (25). The reductant (23) and the exhaust gases can undergo mixing as they pass through the turbocharger (25). The catalyst (15) can have a three-dimensional open structure to facilitate the flow of exhaust gases. The invention also relates to a method of treating exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine (5).
Abstract:
A mounting assembly for mounting a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) system within a work vehicle may generally include a support bracket having a first side and a second side. The mounting assembly may also include a mount plate configured to be coupled to the first side of the bracket. The mount plate may include first and second plate walls and may define an elongated slot through the first plate wall. Additionally, the assembly may include a retention band configured to at least partially wrap around a housing of the DOC system between a first end configured to be coupled to the mount plate and a second end configured to be coupled to the second side of the support bracket. The mount plate may be configured to be moved laterally relative to the support bracket to allow the retention band to be tightened and loosened around the housing.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for exhaust gas heat recovery at an exhaust gas heat exchanger. Exhaust gas may flow in both directions through an exhaust bypass passage and the heat exchanger coupled to the bypass passage. Hot or cold EGR may be delivered from the exhaust passage to the engine intake manifold and heat from the exhaust gas may be recovered at the heat exchanger.

Abstract:
An exhaust system is for a marine propulsion device having an internal combustion engine. The exhaust system comprises a catalyst housing having a housing inlet end that receives exhaust gas flow from the internal combustion engine and an opposite, housing outlet end that discharges the exhaust gas flow. A catalyst is disposed in the catalyst housing. An outlet collector receives the exhaust gas flow from the catalyst housing. The outlet collector comprises a collector inlet end that is engaged with the housing outlet end. One of the collector inlet end and housing outlet end overlaps with the other of the collector inlet end and housing outlet end at a joint. A seal is disposed at the joint between the collector inlet end and the housing outlet end. The joint is devoid of a cooling water jacket.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for reducing at least one of HC, CO, and NOx emissions from an operating internal combustion engine fueled by hydrocarbon or similar fuels, such as alcohols, wherein a portion of the internal combustion chamber has aluminum and/or titanium containing surfaces coated with a titanium dioxide coating further comprising a dopant in and/or on the adherent titanium dioxide coating.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a system for removing a pollutant from a power generation cycle that utilizes a high pressure circulating fluid. The system includes a first direct contact cooling tower configured to cool the high pressure circulating fluid and condense a fluid stream that removes SO2 from the circulating fluid. A first recirculating pump fluidly communicates with the first direct contact cooling tower. The first tower includes an outlet configured to circulate a cooled CO2 product stream, and a second direct contact cooling tower is configured to receive at least a portion of the cooled CO2 product stream from the outlet. The second direct contact cooling tower is configured to cool the CO2 product stream and condense a fluid stream that removes NOx from the CO2 product stream. A second recirculating pump fluidly communicates with the second tower. An associated method is provided.
