  • Publication number: 20230144474
    Abstract: A system for removing residual reductant from at least one component of a reductant dosing system associated with an aftertreatment system includes a first container disposed in fluid communication with the reductant dosing system. The system also includes a first conduit for providing fluid communication between the first container and the reductant dosing system. Based on a generation of a vacuum within the first container, the first conduit is operative to remove the residual reductant from the at least one component of the reductant dosing system and introduce the residual reductant into the first container.

  • Patent number: 8747788
    Abstract: An aftertreatment module for use with an engine is disclosed. The aftertreatment module may include a housing having an inlet configured to direct exhaust in a first flow direction into the aftertreatment module, and an outlet configured to direct exhaust in the first flow direction out of the aftertreatment module. The aftertreatment module may also include a catalyst bank separating the inlet from the outlet. The catalyst bank may have a face disposed at an oblique angle with respect to the first flow direction. The oblique angle may create an inlet passage extending from the inlet to the catalyst bank and having a decreasing cross-sectional area, and an outlet passage extending from the catalyst bank to the outlet and having an increasing cross-sectional area.
