Abstract:
A flowhood is provided to which an upstream conduit and a downstream conduit of an emissions cleaning module can be connected includes a first section and a second section. The second section includes a first aperture for connection to the upstream conduit and a second aperture for connection to the downstream conduit. The first and second apertures may face substantially in the same direction to permit a compact arrangement. A body of the first section may be shaped to channel gas flow from the first aperture to the second aperture. An emissions cleaning module including such a flowhood is also described.
Abstract:
A mixer for an emissions cleaning module is provided. The mixer having an elongate body configured for location within a flowhood and a downstream conduit of an emissions cleaning module. A plurality of apertures are included in the mixer and configured to permit passage of exhaust gas therethrough, to promote mixing, in use of an injected additive and a flow of exhaust gas. An emissions cleaning module including such a mixer is also described.
Abstract:
An emissions cleaning module including a heat shield that comprises a first section and a second section that are coupled together around a flowhood. The heat shield substantially fully envelops all external surfaces of the flowhood.
Abstract:
It may be necessary to eliminate soot from combustion engine emissions in order to comply with regulatory requirements. It may be desirable to avoid the need for a separate aftertreatment apparatus in order to eliminate soot from combustion engine emissions.A compression ignition engine may be configured to result in combustion having a peak value of equivalence ratio of less than 4.0 at the lift off length of the flame. This may result in particulate emissions of fewer than 1012 particles per kWh.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a heating system for an exhaust gas treatment system. The heating system comprises a first heating element comprising a receiving surface for receiving a reductant fluid and a second heating element, which may surround the first heating element. The second heating element may be a thermochemincal or thermophysical device. In a first mode of operation the second heating element is arranged to receive thermal energy from engine exhaust gas. In second mode of operation the second heating element transfers thermal energy to heat the first heating element.
Abstract:
An emissions cleaning module is provided including a first conduit containing a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) module and a second conduit containing a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) module. A mounting mechanism is provided for mounting the emissions cleaning module to an external support, which may be, for example, a chassis of a vehicle or an engine component. The second conduit is mounted to the mounting mechanism and the first conduit is mounted to the second conduit.
