    Abstract: A method for determining the hydrocarbon (HC) oxidation performance of an oxidation catalyst device (OC) includes communicating gas to the OC inlet over a time frame, measuring the NOx content of the OC outlet gas using a NOx sensor over the time frame, wherein the temperature of the OC increases over the time frame, and correlating an increased NOx measurement over the time frame to an increased OC HC oxidation performance. The NOx sensor can be operated in a low temperature mode during the time frame. The method can further include determining the temperature of the OC over the time frame and correlating the HC oxidation performance to the OC temperature, and/or correlating a maximum NOx concentration measured during the time frame to the OC temperature measured at the same time. HC slip through the OC can be identified when the measured NOx content of the OC outlet gas decreases.

    Abstract: A method and system for non-uniform catalyst heating for reducing exhaust gas emissions when the catalyst is below a predetermined light off temperature is provided. The method includes providing a catalyst formed of a plurality of electrically conductive subsections and at least one catalyst heating device that is operable to heat at least one of the plurality of electrically conductive subsections of the catalyst to form at least one predetermined non-uniform heating pattern. A heater control module is provided for controlling the operation of the at least one catalyst heating device. If the engine is in a cold start condition, then the heater control module causes the at least one catalyst heating device to heat at least one of the electrically conductive subsections of the catalyst to obtain a first predetermined non-uniform heating pattern.

    Abstract: In one aspect, an injector assembly for injecting a fluid into an exhaust aftertreatment system is provided. The injector assembly includes a housing having an outlet orifice and an inner wall defining a passageway, the passageway fluidly coupled to the outlet orifice and configured to supply the fluid to the outlet orifice, and a valve having a longitudinal axis. The valve is oriented within the passageway and configured to translate along the longitudinal axis between a first position and a second position. A downstream end of the valve includes a tapered wall oriented at a first angle with respect to the longitudinal axis, and the housing inner wall is oriented at a second angle with respect to the longitudinal axis.

    Abstract: A engine exhaust system includes a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) configured to receive the engine exhaust gases, a first electric heater coupled to the DOC, and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device in fluid communication with the DOC. The engine exhaust system further includes a second electric heater coupled to the DOC, a power switch controller in electronic communication with the first electric heater and the second electric heater, and a single power source electrically coupled to the power switch controller, the first electric heater, and the second electric heater. The power switch controller includes a switch to control a power distribution between the first electric heater and the second electric heater as a function of time.
