摘要:
An exhaust valve downstream of a diesel engine splits exhaust gasses between two catalysts. In one position, most of the exhaust gasses go to a first catalyst, and the remaining exhaust gasses, along with injected reductant go to a second catalyst. In a second position, most of the exhaust gasses go to the second catalyst, and the remaining exhaust gasses, along with injected reductant go to the first catalyst. In this way, a reduced cost system is achieved.
摘要:
A method and a system for improved reductant delivery to an exhaust gas aftertreatment device for a lean burn internal combustion engine exhaust are presented. The system includes a heated evaporator unit into which a mixture of reductant and air in injected, wherein the mixture is vaporized and introduced into the exhaust gas aftertreatment device. Introducing the reductant mixed with air into the heated evaporator unit prevents lacquering and soot deposits on the heated element housed inside the unit, and also speeds up the vaporization process due to better reductant distribution thus reducing system response delays and improving conversion efficiency of the exhaust gas aftertreatment device. The reductant delivery system is further improved by adding a catalyst to it, and by preventing the reductant and air mixture from coming into direct contact with the surface of the heating element.
摘要:
A method for improving NOx conversion efficiency of a lean exhaust gas aftertreatment device by determining an accurate amount of reductant required is presented. The method includes calculating a base reductant injection amount based on a steady state amount of NOx in the engine feedgas and adjusting the base amount to compensate for transient NOx emissions. The method further teaches using an air assist heated reductant delivery system to inject the adjusted base reductant amount into the device, thus further improving NOx conversion efficiency of the device.

Methods and systems for improving operation of an SCR are disclosed. In one example, engine hydrocarbon emissions are reduced and/or directed to bypass an SCR so that SCR efficiency can be increased. The methods and systems may reduce NOx emissions of a vehicle via improving SCR efficiency.
摘要:
A method and a system for improving conversion efficiency of a urea-based SCR catalyst coupled downstream of a diesel or other lean burn engine is presented. The system includes an electrically heated vaporizer unit into which a mixture of reductant and air in injected. The mixture is vaporized in the unit and introduced into the exhaust gas prior to its entering the SCR catalyst. Introducing the reductant mixed with air into the reductant delivery system prevents lacquering and soot deposits on the heated element housed inside the unit, and also speeds up the vaporization process thus reducing system response delays and improving the device conversion efficiency. The reductant delivery system is further improved by adding a hydrolyzing catalyst to it, and by isolating the reductant and air mixture from the heating element.

Methods and systems for increasing fuel economy of a vehicle including a SCR catalyst are presented. In one example, an amount of EGR provided to an engine is decreased in response to performance of the SCR being within a predetermined range of performance. The methods and systems may increase vehicle fuel economy while vehicle tailpipe emissions are achieved.

Methods and systems are provided for operating an engine including an emission control system, the emission control system comprising a catalyst downstream of a turbine of a boosting device and a reductant injector upstream of the turbine. In one example, the method comprises injecting reductant into exhaust upstream of the turbine, mixing the injected reductant with exhaust gas via the turbine, and delivering the mixed reductant to the catalyst.
