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.
Abstract:
An aftertreatment system comprises a reductant storage tank and a SCR system fluidly coupled thereto. A reductant physical level sensor and a tank temperature sensor are operatively coupled to the reductant storage tank. A controller is communicatively coupled with each of the sensors and configured to: interpret a first level output value from the physical level sensor and a first temperature output value from the tank temperature sensor. If the first level output value is below a first threshold, the controller determines if the first temperature output value is below a second threshold. If the first level output value is below the first threshold and the first temperature output value is below the second threshold, the controller determines a virtual reductant level in the reductant storage tank and indicates the virtual reductant level in lieu of a physical reductant level in the reductant storage tank to a user.
