Abstract:
A NOx reduction system having a separator is disclosed for use with combustion engine exhaust. The system includes a combustion engine having an exhaust manifold. A separator is positioned downstream of the engine exhaust manifold in an exhaust system. The separator is configured to extract steam from the exhaust in the exhaust system and an element is configured to receive the extracted steam and produce a NOx reducing agent that is used to reduce the amount of NOx in the exhaust before release into the atmosphere.
Abstract:
An exhaust gas treatment system (10, 100, 200, 300) of an internal combustion engine (12) includes a selective catalytic reduction catalyst (19) fluidly connected to the internal combustion engine (12), a particulate filter (16, 36) fluidly connected downstream of the selective catalytic reduction catalyst (19), and an induction line (24) configured to direct a portion of a filtered exhaust flow of the internal combustion engine (12) toward an inlet (21) of the engine (12).
Abstract:
An exhaust treatment system (14) for a combustion source (10) is disclosed. The exhaust treatment system may have a supply of catalyst (38) configured to lower the combustion threshold value of an exhaust constituent, and an injector (42) operable to selectively pass catalyst to the exhaust constituent. The exhaust treatment system may further have a controller (44) in communication with the injector. The controller may be configured to determine a temperature of an exhaust flow, and operate the injector to pass catalyst in response to the combustion threshold value being greater than the determined temperature.
Abstract:
A power source (18) has at least one combustion chamber (30), an exhaust system (17) fluidly connected to the at least one combustion chamber and configured to carry an exhaust-gas stream, and a fuel source (38) configured to supply fuel to the at least one combustion chamber. The power source also has an additive supply device (32) configured to supply an ethanol additive to the at least one combustion chamber; and a selective reduction catalyst system catalyst (23) fluidly connected to the exhaust system and configured to receive the exhaust-gas stream.
Abstract:
A method of operating an internal combustion engine (12) may include selectively operating the engine in a first mode of operation, wherein fuel may be injected into compressed fluid to create a substantially heterogeneous mixture of fuel and compressed fluid, and fuel may be ignited by the heat of the compressed fluid. The method may also include selectively operating the engine in a second mode of operation, wherein fuel is injected into gas to create a substantially homogeneous mixture of gas and fuel, the substantially homogeneous mixture is compressed, and fuel is ignited by the heat of the compressed gas. The method may further include determining whether to operate the engine in the first or second mode according to engine conditions.
Abstract:
A method of operating an engine system comprising operating a first cylinder group at a first number of strokes per combustion cycle, operating a second cylinder group at a second number of strokes per combustion cycle, the second number of strokes per cycle being different than the first number of strokes per cycle.

Abstract:
An exhaust treatment control system includes a controller (28) configured to determine a value representative of a NO2 concentration associated with an exhaust gas upstream of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst (22), and determine a value representative of a NO concentration associated with the exhaust gas upstream of the SCR catalyst. The controller can also be configured to transmit a signal to at least partially control an injection of a hydrocarbon into the exhaust gas, wherein the hydrocarbon injection can occur upstream of an oxidation catalyst (20) to at least partially decrease the NO2 concentration of the exhaust gas downstream of the oxidation catalyst, and wherein the oxidation catalyst can be located upstream of the SCR catalyst.
Abstract:
An exhaust system (18) for use with an engine (10) is disclosed. The exhaust system may have an exhaust passageway (26), a reduction catalyst (38) located within the exhaust passageway, and a particulate filter (34) located within the exhaust passageway upstream of the reduction catalyst. The exhaust system may also have an oxidation catalyst (44) located within the exhaust passageway upstream of the reduction catalyst to provide a desired ratio of NO:NO2 to the reduction catalyst, and an exhaust gas recirculation loop (22). The exhaust gas recirculation loop may be situated to receive exhaust from the exhaust passageway at a location upstream of the oxidation catalyst and downstream of the particulate filter.
Abstract:
A control system (80) for a power unit (10) having a supply of fuel (22) and a supply of reductant (64) is disclosed. The control system may have a first sensor (24) associated with the supply of fuel to generate a signal indicative of a quantity of fuel remaining. The control system may also have a second sensor (72) associated with the supply of reductant to generate a signal indicative of a quantity of the reductant remaining. The control system may further have a controller (82) in communication with the first and second sensors. The controller may be configured to affect operation of the power unit such that the remaining fuel is consumed before consumption of the remaining reductant.
