Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for evaluating incoming air to an engine, industrial controller including engine controls, valves and solenoids, for concentrations of explosive or combustible gases or vapors, and actuating process control including but not limited to shutting down an engine or other industrial process to control an outcome including the prevention of an overspeed condition when pre-set or calculated elevated gas or vapor concentrations are detected. In some embodiments industrial control including engine shutdown may be achieved conventionally via an electronic kill signal, a shutdown of the fuel injector, carburetor or fuel pump, and in emergency conditions by the shutoff of incoming air to an air intake, turbocharger, or other air delivery systems. Decisions based on explosive gas or vapor concentrations and species and the use of networking to allow additional systems to take action before explosive gases or vapors reach said other valve-sensor devices can provide additional safety.

Abstract: A control system for an engine of a vehicle includes one or more oxygen (O2) sensors disposed proximate to a three-way catalytic converter (TWC) in an exhaust system of the vehicle, the one or more O2 sensors each being configured to measure an O2 level of exhaust gas produced by the engine, and a controller in signal communication with the one or more O2 sensors. The controller is programmed to detect a fuel shut-off (FSO) event where the engine ceases providing fuel to the engine, determine an accumulated gas flow through the TWC during the FSO event, determine the FSO event has ended, and initiate a fuel enrichment event for a predetermined duration where the engine is supplied with a fuel enrichment level having a rich fuel/air ratio. The fuel enrichment level and the predetermined duration are chosen to reduce non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) emissions while maintaining NOx emission control.

Abstract: A heavy-duty truck has a diesel engine, an exhaust after-treatment system, and an engine control unit. The exhaust after-treatment system includes a close-coupled selective catalytic reduction system and an underbody selective catalytic reduction system, a first NOx sensor upstream of the close-coupled selective catalytic reduction system, a second NOx sensor between the two selective catalytic reduction systems, and a third NOx sensor downstream of the underbody selective catalytic reduction system. The engine control unit may perform methods allowing intrusive diagnostics to be performed on exhaust gas NOx sensors using the selective catalytic reduction systems during normal operation of the heavy-duty truck.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an exhaust system. In one example, a method may include determining presence of a zone flow based on a comparison of a first exhaust sensor and a second exhaust sensor. The presence or absence of the zone flow may determine a rate at which an air-fuel ratio is adjusted.

Abstract: An exhaust purification system of an internal combustion engine comprises an air-fuel ratio control device controlling an air-fuel ratio of the inflowing exhaust gas to a target air-fuel ratio. If a first judged condition wherein an estimated amount of change of an oxygen storage amount of the catalyst when the target air-fuel ratio is maintained at the first set air-fuel ratio is equal to or greater than a first reference amount, and a second judged condition wherein a difference of an air-fuel ratio detected by the upstream side air-fuel ratio sensor and a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is equal to or greater than a difference of a second judged air-fuel ratio and a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio are satisfied, the air-fuel ratio control device switches the target air-fuel ratio from the first set air-fuel ratio to the second set air-fuel ratio when the first judged condition and second judged condition are satisfied.

Abstract: Technical solutions are described for an emissions control system for a motor vehicle including an internal combustion engine. The emissions control system includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device, an NOx sensor, and a controller for ammonia slip detection. The ammonia slip detection includes comparing an NOx measurement from the NOx sensor with a predicted NOx value. In response to the NOx measurement exceeding the predicted NOx value by a threshold value, the threshold value being calibrated to a first predetermined value, the threshold value is calibrated to a second predetermined value, a timer is initiated to a predetermined duration, and during the predetermined duration of the timer, in response to a second NOx measurement from the NOx sensor exceeding the predicted NOx value by the threshold value set to the second predetermined value, a reductant dosing rate of the SCR device is adapted according to the second predetermined value.
