Abstract: A recycling loop configuration of an exhaust gas aftertreatment system decreases a level of system-out NOx emissions of an engine. An apparatus including the configuration has an exhaust gas recycling system having a closed gas recycling loop system configured to heat gas circulating within the loop, and a blower for circulating gas within the loop. A method for operating the engine includes preheating at least one aftertreatment component of an exhaust gas aftertreatment system of the engine by exposing the component to heated gas circulating in a closed gas recycling loop.

Abstract: A powertrain system includes an engine coupled to a turbocharger and a timer, a motor generator coupled to the engine and a battery, and a controller. The controller is structured to receive data indicative of a state of charge from the battery, determine whether the state of charge is at or below a high predefined threshold, modulate control on the engine and the timer in response to determining the state of charge is above the high predefined threshold, determine whether the state of charge is above a low predefined threshold in response to the state of charge being at or below the high predefined threshold, and modulate control of the engine and the timer in response to determining the state of charge is at or below the low predefined threshold.

Abstract: A system includes an intake heater positioned in or proximate to an air intake of an engine, an aftertreatment system heater positioned downstream of the engine, and a controller coupled to the intake heater and the aftertreatment system heater. The controller is structured to operate the intake heater to heat air entering the engine for a predefined time period. The controller is structured to determine, based on information indicative of a temperature regarding an exhaust aftertreatment system, that the temperature regarding the exhaust aftertreatment system is below a predefined temperature threshold. The controller is structured to continue operating the intake heater after the predefined time period responsive to the temperature regarding the exhaust aftertreatment system being below the predefined temperature threshold.

Abstract: A method comprises determining that an aftertreatment system is in a cold-operation mode; initiating a low engine-out NOx (LEON) mode by controlling a component of a vehicle containing the aftertreatment system to decrease an instantaneous engine out NOx (EONOx) amount and to increase exhaust energy relative to a normal operation mode for an engine of the vehicle; receiving information indicative of an operating status of the vehicle during the LEON mode; disengaging the LEON mode; subsequent to disengaging the LEON mode, initiating a thermal management (TM) mode for the aftertreatment system, wherein the TM mode is initiated by controlling a component of the vehicle to increase fueling to the engine for a power level by reducing engine efficiency and directing excess fuel to the aftertreatment system; receiving information indicative of an operating status of the vehicle during the TM mode; and disengaging the TM mode.

Abstract: A system includes a first heater positioned in or proximate to an exhaust aftertreatment system in exhaust gas-receiving communication with an engine, a second heater positioned downstream of the first heater, and a controller coupled to the first and second heaters. The controller is structured to determine, based on information indicative of a temperature regarding the exhaust aftertreatment system, that the temperature is below a temperature threshold; receive information regarding a characteristic of a battery coupled to the first heater and the second heater; control the temperature regarding the exhaust aftertreatment system without using the first or second heaters in response to determining that the characteristic of the battery is below a first threshold; and control a temperature regarding the exhaust aftertreatment system using the first heater in response to determining that the characteristic of the battery is above the first threshold but below a second threshold.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a controller, information indicative of a temperature of an aftertreatment system of the vehicle and an exhaust gas characteristic. The method includes comparing, by the controller, the temperature of the aftertreatment system to a temperature threshold, and comparing, by the controller, the exhaust gas characteristic to a characteristic threshold. The method includes, responsive to the comparisons, commanding, by the controller, an aftertreatment system heater to selectively engage or disengage to warm the aftertreatment system of the vehicle.
