    Abstract: An aftertreatment system comprises a housing defining a first and a second internal volume fluidly isolated from each other. A first aftertreatment leg extends from the first to the second internal volume and includes an oxidation catalyst and a filter. The oxidation catalyst receives exhaust gas from an inlet conduit and the filter emits exhaust gas into the second internal volume. A second aftertreatment leg extends from the second to the first internal volume and includes at least one SCR catalyst disposed offset from the first aftertreatment leg. A decomposition tube is disposed offset from the SCR catalyst and the oxidation catalyst. The decomposition tube is configured to receive the exhaust gas from the second internal volume and communicate it to the inlet of the at least one SCR catalyst. A reductant injection inlet is defined proximate to the inlet of the decomposition tube for reductant insertion.

    Abstract: An aftertreatment system comprises: a housing, a SCR system disposed in the housing. A mixer is disposed upstream of the SCR system and includes: a hub, a tubular member disposed circumferentially around the hub and defining a reductant entry port, and plurality of vanes extending from the hub to the tubular member such that openings are defined between adjacent vanes. The plurality of vanes swirl the exhaust gas in a circumferential direction. A reductant injector is disposed on the housing upstream of the SCR system along a transverse axis and configured to insert a reductant into the exhaust gas flowing through the housing through the reductant entry port. The reductant is inserted at a non-zero angle with respect to the transverse axis opposite the circumferential direction to achieve virtual interception. A mixer central axis is radially offset with respect to a housing central axis of the housing.

    Abstract: A reductant delivery system includes an inlet body, an outlet body, and an outer transfer tube. The inlet body includes an inlet body coupler, an inlet body outer transfer shell, and an inlet body inner shell. The inlet body coupler surrounds an inlet body inlet that is configured to receive exhaust gas. The inlet body outer transfer shell is coupled to the inlet body coupler. The inlet body outer transfer shell includes an inlet body outer transfer shell inner surface and an inlet body outer transfer shell outlet. The inlet body outer transfer shell outlet extends through the inlet body outer transfer shell inner surface. The inlet body inner shell includes an inlet body inner shell first flange, an inlet body inner shell second flange, and an inlet body inner shell wall. The inlet body inner shell first flange is coupled to the inlet body outer transfer shell inner surface.

    Abstract: An outlet assembly for an aftertreatment system comprises an outlet conduit configured to receive an exhaust gas from the aftertreatment system. The outlet conduit defines a first aperture through a sidewall thereof. An outlet passage is disposed within the outlet conduit. The outlet passage comprises a first end facing an upstream side of the outlet conduit and a second end located downstream from the first end. The second end is fluidly coupled to the first aperture. A hole is defined through an outlet passage sidewall at a radial location that is proximate to the sidewall of the outlet conduit. The hole is configured to allow a sensor to be inserted therethrough into a flow path defined by the outlet passage. The outlet passage is configured to receive a portion of the exhaust gas from the outlet conduit such that the sensor is exposed to the portion of the exhaust gas.

    Abstract: An aftertreatment system for treating an exhaust gas comprises an exhaust conduit, a preheating oxidation catalyst, a primary oxidation catalyst disposed downstream of the preheating oxidation catalyst, and a selective catalytic reduction system disposed in the exhaust conduit downstream of the primary oxidation catalyst. A controller is configured to determine a temperature of an exhaust gas at an inlet of the selective catalytic reduction system. In response to the temperature being below a threshold temperature, the controller generates a hydrocarbon insertion signal configured to cause hydrocarbons to be inserted into or upstream of the preheating oxidation catalyst so as to increase a temperature of the exhaust gas to above the threshold temperature.

    Abstract: A sampling assembly for an exhaust gas aftertreatment system includes a body layer, an outer bowl, a first sampler, and an inner bowl. The body layer defines a cylindrical passage. The outer bowl is coupled to the body layer. The first sampler extends circumferentially along the body layer to the outer bowl. The first sampler includes a first sampler channel and a first sampler aperture. The first sampler channel is configured to provide exhaust gas into the outer bowl. The first sampler aperture is configured to receive the exhaust gas from the cylindrical passage and provide the exhaust gas into the first sampler channel. The inner bowl is disposed at least partially within the outer bowl and configured to receive the exhaust gas from the outer bowl and provide the exhaust gas into the cylindrical passage.

    Abstract: An aftertreatment system comprises a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) unit, a reductant injector configured to insert reductant into the aftertreatment system, a first NO x sensor configured to measure an amount of NO x gases at a location upstream of the reductant injector, and a second NO x sensor configured to measure an amount of NO x gases at a location downstream of the SCR unit. A controller is programmed to estimate an amount of reductant deposits formed in the aftertreatment system based on at least the amount of NO x gases measured at the location upstream of the reductant injector, the amount of NO x gases measured at the location downstream of the SCR unit, and an amount of reductant that has been inserted into the aftertreatment system. The controller adjusts an amount of reductant to be inserted into the aftertreatment system based on the estimated amount of reductant deposits formed in the aftertreatment system.
