  • Coatings For Engine And Powertrain Components To Prevent Buildup Of Deposits
    Publication number: 20120258266
    Abstract: Provided are methods and components related to preventing hydrocarbon residue buildup in engine components. Prevention is achieved using a coating of a mixed metal oxide. The mixed metal oxide comprises a mixture of at least two of Gd, Al, Ti, Ce, Pr, La, Y, Nd, and Mn. The coating can also contain amounts of precious metals, eg. Pt, Pd, Rh and/or Au.

  • Diesel oxidation catalyst
    Patent number: 7078004
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and article for treating a diesel engine exhaust stream. The stream is contacted with an upstream catalytic composition having a cerium component and/or a zeolite component to reduce the quantity and amount of the particulate matter in the exhaust stream. The stream passes from the upstream catalytic composition to a particulate filter located downstream from the upstream catalytic composition.

  • Low pressure EGR system for diesel engines
    Patent number: 6301887
    Abstract: A low pressure EGR system suitable for use as a passive retrofit system is disclosed for moving vehicles equipped with a diesel engine. The EGR loop inlet is positioned upstream of the exhaust particulate filter and downstream of the turbine to utilize backpressure created by the exhaust particulate filter to insure EGR flow in the loop. A catalyzed soot filter in communication with the EGR pickup insures cleansed EGR gases at the EGR return downstream of the air filter and upstream of the compressor. A corrugated EGR line provides cooling of the EGR gases.
