    摘要: A combustion system including a combustion mechanism that injects oxygenated fuel into a combustion chamber. The oxygenated fuel mixes with the intake air in the combustion chamber where the air-fuel ratio in a portion of the combustion chamber is stoichiometric. The combustion mechanism includes an ignition mechanism that ignites the air-fuel mixture that generates a threshold number of particulates during combustion of the air-fuel mixture. The combustion system further includes an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) device that recirculates a portion of the exhaust gases back into the combustion chamber. The EGR device recirculates the portion of the exhaust to lower combustion temperature resulting in reduced amount of nitrogen oxide in the exhaust. The combustion system further includes a three-way catalytic converter in line with the exhaust channel to convert a second portion of the exhaust gases, leading to lower pollutant emissions than conventional combustion systems.

    摘要: An exhaust aftertreatment unit for cleaning exhaust gases. The exhaust aftertreatment unit includes an emission reducing module being a diesel particulate filter, DPF, and/or a diesel oxidation catalyst, DOC, a selective catalyst reduction, SCR, catalyst, an electrical heating element arranged upstream of the SCR catalyst, a casing housing at least the emission reducing module, and a service lid removably arranged to cover a service opening of the casing through which the emission reducing module may be accessed. The electrical heating element is removably arranged relative the casing and is arranged accessible upon removal of the service lid.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine with a plurality of cylinders is a drive device in which the drive torque available can be reduced. The ignition timing which is set at the internal combustion engine is adjusted in the retarded direction starting from an initial ignition timing until the ignition timing corresponds to a threshold ignition timing. To reduce the drive torque further, at least one cylinder, among the plurality of cylinders, is deactivated by suspending fuel injection into the cylinder, and the remaining cylinder(s) continue to be operated with fuel injection using the ignition timing. The remaining cylinders of the internal combustion engine which continue to be operated are supplied with a quantity of fuel which is larger in comparison with an initial quantity of fuel present before the cylinder deactivation, to set a substoichiometric fuel/oxygen ratio.

    摘要: An exhaust gas system for an internal combustion engine includes at least one component which delimits an exhaust gas flow volume via an outer wall and, on an inner side of the outer wall which faces the exhaust gas flow volume, supports at least one shielding element. An intermediate space is formed between the outer wall and the shielding element. At least one connecting molding on the shielding element is directed toward the outer wall and is connected fixedly to the outer wall.

    摘要: An exhaust gas after-treatment device in a driveline application, which device comprising a casing having an upper surface, a lower surface and side surfaces connecting the upper and lower surfaces to form an enclosed volume. The casing is provided with an exhaust inlet opening and an exhaust outlet opening wherein exhaust gas is supplied to and discharged from the casing through the upper surface. At least one of the exhaust inlet and outlet openings is operatively connected to its corresponding inlet or outlet pipe by a pipe connector having a first opening facing the casing and a second opening facing away from the casing. The at least one pipe connector is arranged to be rotatable about the central axis of its associated inlet or outlet opening in the casing into a predetermined angular position relative to the opening in the casing.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for adaption of an exhaust treatment system arranged for treating an exhaust stream produced by an engine, where the exhaust treatment system includes at least a first additive dosage device, a first selective catalytic reduction catalyst arranged downstream of the first additive dosage device, a second additive dosage device arranged downstream of the first selective catalytic reduction catalyst, and a second selective catalytic reduction catalyst arranged downstream of the second additive dosage device. The method includes initiating an adaption of the second selective catalytic reduction catalyst, and controlling, during the adaption of the second selective catalytic reduction catalyst, the first additive dosage device to inject additive in accordance with at least one injection rule being designed for the adaption.
