Abstract:
A reductant insertion system for an after treatment system configured to decompose constituents of an exhaust gas, includes: a dry reductant tank configured to contain a dry reductant; a reductant delivery line configured to operatively couple the dry reductant tank to the after treatment system for delivery of the dry reductant to the after treatment system; and a pressurized gas source configured to communicate the dry reductant to the after treatment system through the reductant delivery line using pressurized gas.
Abstract:
A system comprises a tank header configured to couple to a reductant tank and a heating mechanism positioned proximate to the tank header. The heating mechanism is configured to heat at least a portion of the tank header. The system may further comprise a conduit configured to pass reductant from the reductant tank and a junction configured to receive reductant from the reductant tank.
Abstract:
A decomposition chamber for an aftertreatment system includes a body and a diffuser. The body includes an inlet, an outlet, a thermal management chamber, and a main flow chamber. The inlet is configured to receive exhaust gas. The outlet is configured to expel the exhaust gas. The thermal management chamber is in fluid communication with the inlet. The thermal management chamber is configured to receive an exhaust gas first portion from the inlet. The main flow chamber is in fluid communication with the inlet. The main flow chamber is configured to receive an exhaust gas second portion from the inlet and to receive the exhaust gas first portion from the thermal management chamber. The diffuser is positioned within the main flow chamber. The diffuser includes a diffuser inlet portion and a diffuser flange portion. The diffuser inlet portion includes a plurality of diffuser perforations.
Abstract:
A mixing assembly for an exhaust system can include an outer body, a front plate, a back plate, a middle member, and an inner member. The outer body defines an interior volume and has a center axis. The front plate defines an upstream portion of the interior volume and the back plate defines a downstream portion of the interior volume. The middle member is positioned transverse to the center axis and defines a volume. The inner member is positioned coaxially with the middle member inside the middle member. The front plate includes inlets configured to direct exhaust to (i) a first flow path into an interior of the inner member, (ii) a second flow path into the volume of the middle member between a sidewall of the middle member and a sidewall of the inner member, and (iii) a third flow path into the interior volume of the outer body.
Abstract:
An aftertreatment system includes: a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system configured to decompose constituents of exhaust gas; an exhaust conduit configured to deliver the exhaust gas to the SCR system; a hydrocarbon insertion assembly; a valve operably coupled to the exhaust conduit, the valve configured to be selectively opened so as to allow a first gas to enter the exhaust conduit and mix with the exhaust gas; and a controller configured to: determine a SCR system temperature, in response to the SCR system temperature being less than a target temperature, instruct the hydrocarbon insertion assembly to insert hydrocarbons into the exhaust gas, and in response to the SCR system temperature being greater than the target temperature, instruct the valve to open so as to allow the first gas to enter the exhaust conduit, a first gas temperature of the first gas being lower than the SCR system temperature.
Abstract:
An assembly for reductant dosing error correction in an exhaust aftertreatment system includes an injector comprising a reductant insertion conduit; a pump configured to advance a quantity of dosed fluid reductant from a reductant source; a reductant source outlet defined by the reductant source and configured to release the quantity of dosed fluid reductant into the reductant insertion conduit; a pressurized reductant receiving chamber defining a pressurized reductant receiver inlet; a reductant insertion pressure sensor; and a doser comprising a controller. The controller of the doser is configured to, based on a first actual pressure of the reductant, calculate a second target flow rate for a second injection event subsequent to a first injection event and control a quantity of dosed fluid reductant released during the second injection event based on the second target flow rate.
Abstract:
A decomposition reactor tube (DRT) for converting a reductant into ammonia includes an internal structure including a high-thermal conductivity material having a thermal conductivity greater than 20 W/(m∙K), wherein the internal structure is at least one of a splash plate, a splash plate frame, a double wall, an outer wall, a mixer, and/or an exhaust assist port.
Abstract:
A process for detecting reductant deposits includes accessing data indicative of signal output from a radiofrequency sensor positioned proximate a decomposition reactor tube; comparing the data indicative of signal output from the radiofrequency sensor to a deposit formation threshold; and activating a deposit mitigation process responsive to the data indicative of signal output from the radiofrequency sensor exceeding the deposit formation threshold.
Abstract:
A system structured to measure at least one of particulate matter or ammonia in an exhaust aftertreatment system. The system includes a selective catalytic reduction catalyst, a doser disposed upstream of the selective catalytic reduction catalyst, a particulate filter, and a radio frequency sensor communicatively coupled to the diesel particulate filter. The radio frequency sensor is structured to measure at least one of particulate matter or ammonia.
Abstract:
Systems for reducing air consumption for aftertreatment systems by selectively supplying air from an air supply may selectively control a valve to enable or disable air supplied to a dosing module. A system may include an air supply, a dosing module, a valve, and a controller. The dosing module may be in selective fluid communication with the air supply. The valve may be configured to selectively supply air from the air supply to the dosing module. The controller may be configured to interpret a parameter indicative of a temperature of a component of an exhaust system and selectively operate the valve responsive to the interpreted parameter indicative of the temperature and a predetermined threshold value.
