  • Visual marking and geometric poka-yoke for fluid and electrical lines of aftertreatment systems
    Patent number: 10184383
    Abstract: An aftertreatment system comprises an SCR system and at least one reductant insertion assembly fluidly coupled thereto. The reductant insertion assembly includes an injector and reductant storage tank. The injector includes a first fluid connector and a second fluid connector. A first fluid connector marking is defined on the first fluid connector and a second fluid connector marking is defined on the second fluid connector. The reductant storage tank includes a first fluid conduit fluidly coupled to the first fluid connector and a second fluid conduit fluidly coupled to the second fluid connector. A first fluid conduit marking is defined on the first fluid conduit, and a second fluid conduit marking is defined on the second fluid conduit. The first fluid conduit marking corresponds to the first fluid connector marking, and the second fluid conduit marking corresponds to the second fluid connector marking, thereby identifying a coupling relationship therebetween.
