  • Patent number: 11149609
    Abstract: An SCR system includes at least one catalyst, and an intake conduit. The intake conduit includes an intake conduit first sidewall, at least a portion of which defines a first curvature. An intake conduit second sidewall is coupled to the intake conduit first sidewall so as to define the intake conduit. A catalyst is fluidly coupled to the intake conduit through the intake conduit second sidewall. The intake conduit second sidewall is inclined at a first angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the SCR system, such that an intake conduit second end cross-section of the intake conduit is smaller than an intake conduit first end cross-section. An intake conduit third sidewall is positioned at the intake conduit second end. The intake conduit is structured to produce an even flow split of the exhaust gas through the intake conduit internal volume towards the catalyst.

  • Patent number: 11105240
    Abstract: A dosing control system includes a shut-off valve, a reductant pump, a reductant injector, and a recirculation conduit. The shut-off valve is configured to receive reductant from a reductant tank. The reductant pump is configured to selectively receive the reductant from the shut-off valve. The reductant pump is configured to selectively be in a reductant pump command state. The reductant injector is configured to selectively receive the reductant from the reductant pump. The recirculation conduit is coupled to the reductant injector and the reductant tank. The recirculation conduit is configured to selectively provide the reductant from the reductant injector to the reductant tank. The shut-off valve is configured to prevent a flow of the reductant to the reductant pump when the reductant pump is not in the reductant pump command state.

  • Patent number: 10697342
    Abstract: An aftertreatment system includes: a selective catalytic reduction system including at least one catalyst for decomposing constituents of an exhaust gas produced by an engine, the exhaust gas having a pressure pulsation frequency; an exhaust conduit fluidly coupled to the selective catalytic reduction system and structured to deliver the exhaust gas to the selective catalytic reduction system from the engine; at least one mixer positioned in the exhaust conduit; and a reductant insertion assembly fluidly coupled to the exhaust conduit and structured to insert a reductant into the exhaust conduit upstream of the at least one mixer. The at least one mixer is structured to have a natural frequency matching the pressure pulsation frequency so as to cause resonant vibration in the at least one mixer, the resonant vibration causing reductant deposits to be removed from the at least one mixer.
