  • Patent number: 11060939
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a sensor module, an offset diagnostic module, and a notification module. The sensor module is in operative communication with a cylinder pressure sensor and structured to acquire cylinder pressure data from the cylinder pressure sensor indicative of an actual in-cylinder pressure of a cylinder of an engine. The offset diagnostic module is structured to interpret the cylinder pressure data to determine an offset of the cylinder pressure sensor based on a reference in-cylinder pressure and the actual in-cylinder pressure. The notification module is structured to provide an offset error notification responsive to the offset being greater than a threshold offset.

  • Publication number: 20180321138
    Abstract: An exhaust gas detection assembly, comprising a sensing system comprising a wide-band light source and a detector, a probe configured for mounting in a port of a component of an engine exhaust system, and a fiber optic bundle connected between the sensing system and the probe to carry source light from the light source to the probe and reflected light from the probe to the detector, wherein the detector comprises a filter that passes reflected light received from the probe in a wavelength range corresponding to a wavelength range affected by the presence of a type of gas molecules in the probe.

  • Publication number: 20120216529
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine including a two-stage turbocharger configuration is described. Located between the turbines of the two-stage turbocharger may be an oxidation catalyst and a passive NOx adsorber or an oxidation catalyst and an SCR device. An exhaust path extending from an engine body of the internal combustion engine to the second turbine of the two-stage turbocharger configuration may also include one or more hydrocarbon sources or one or more ammonia sources. A bypass valve arrangement may permit decreased flow through the first stage of the two-stage turbocharger arrangement as well as one or more of the elements positioned between the turbines of the two-stage turbocharger.
