Abstract: This disclosure includes a control system for operating a pollution removal system. The system includes a power relay coupled to a power supply and a controller communicatively coupled to the power relay. The controller receives sensor data corresponding to properties of at least one of (i) a dosing solution tank of the pollution removal system, (ii) a heater assembly configured to vaporize dosing solution provided by the dosing solution tank, and (iii) a flue system configured to receive a flue gas and the vaporized dosing solution and remove pollutants from the flue gas. Using the sensor data, a control operation is determined for improving removal of pollutants from the flue gas. A control signal corresponding to the control operation is transmitted for use by the power relay. The power relay provides a corresponding power signal to adjust operation of at least one component of the pollution removal system.

Abstract: This disclosure includes a heater having a housing defining an inlet and outlet for a flow of gas through the housing and a heating element connected to a first terminal at a first interior position of the housing and to a second terminal at a second interior position of the housing. The first interior position is opposite the second interior position. The heater includes a first ceramic holder positioned at a third interior position of the housing. The third interior position is between the first and second interior positions of the housing. The first ceramic holder is configured to assist in retaining the heating element within the housing. The heater includes a second ceramic holder positioned at a fourth interior position of the housing that is opposite the third interior position. The second ceramic holder is configured to assist in retaining the heating element within the housing.

Abstract: An exhaust system that includes a catalytic converter, selective catalytic reduction system, a muffler and, for certain applications, a diesel particulate filter that each include at least one filter that has an electric heating element, a metallic coating and a plurality of metal rods extending therethrough. The combination of elements are configured to heat the internal housings of the exhaust system and disrupt the direction of flow of exhaust gases which contain harmful toxic gases and pollutants and aid in removing and/or reducing said toxic gases and pollutants.

Abstract: A method for improving an exhaust system including: receiving, at a heater, a current in response to a signal from a controller; generating heat, via the heater, inside a component of the exhaust system; injecting, via a dosing solution injector, a dosing solution into the heater; generating, by the heater, a vapor comprising the dosing solution; directing, by the heater, the vapor into the component; generating, by a magnet, a magnetic field inside the component; disrupting and slowing, by the magnet and magnetic field, an exhaust gas flow in the component.

Abstract: A heater for an exhaust system that includes a housing having a connector coupled to the exterior thereof, a first terminal and a second terminal that are each disposed to the interior of the housing and electrically coupled to the connector, a heating element coupled to the first and second terminals, a heating wire coupled to the first and second terminals, and a plurality of heating rods inserted into the heating element to conduct heat from the heating wire throughout the heating element, wherein the connector receives power from an external power supply to supply electrical current to the heating element and the heating wire and wherein at least one of the heating rods supports the heating wire. The combination of elements are configured to heat and disrupt the flow of exhaust gases and aid in removing and/or reducing toxic gases and pollutants from the exhaust system.
