  • Patent number: 10815912
    Abstract: A reformer system may include a reformer device having a fuel inlet, an air inlet and a gas outlet, a first valve set coupled to the fuel inlet and configured to selectively supply a reformer fuel flow from an engine fuel flow to the fuel inlet, a second valve set coupled to the air inlet and configured to selectively supply a reformer air flow from a compressor outlet air flow to the air inlet, and a controller in electrical communication with the first valve set and the second valve set. The controller may determine a target reformer fuel flow based on a target gas flow, determine a target reformer air flow based on the reformer fuel flow and a target air-to-fuel ratio, adjust the reformer fuel flow according to the target reformer fuel flow, and adjust the reformer air flow according to the target reformer air flow.

  • Publication number: 20160061134
    Abstract: An engine control system including an engine configured to generate exhaust comprising an exhaust constituent and to operate in a first operating mode or a second operating mode different from the first operating mode. The engine control system can include a plurality of sensors configured to generate temperature data corresponding to at least one of a measured exhaust temperature and an ambient temperature, and exhaust constituent data corresponding to an exhaust constituent concentration. The engine control system can include a controller operatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and the engine, and configured to receive the temperature data and the exhaust constituent data from the plurality of sensors, and change an operating state of the engine from the first operating mode to the second operating mode when the temperature data is less than a predetermined temperature threshold and the exhaust constituent data is greater than a predetermined exhaust constituent threshold.

  • Patent number: 8834820
    Abstract: An emissions control system includes a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) device, one or more monitoring devices and one or more sensors. The system further includes a controller configured to determine an operating emissions gas conversion ratio of the SCR device. The controller is further configured to determine an injection amount of a reduction agent to maintain an operating emissions gas conversion ratio of the SCR device and to adjust the operating emissions gas conversion ratio to a target emissions gas conversion ratio by adjusting the injection amount of the reduction agent to the SCR device. The system utilizes a Time-Temperature model to determine the target emissions gas conversion ratio and/or reduction agent injection ratio. The system further includes a reduction agent injector configured to supply the adjusted injection amount of the reduction agent to the SCR device.
