  • Siloxane mitigation in machine system having blower for pressure drop compensation
    Patent number: 11555472
    Abstract: A siloxane mitigation system for a machine system having an internal combustion engine includes a siloxane trap having a plurality of adsorbent cartridges fluidly in parallel with one another, an air precleaner fluidly connected to a trap housing inlet, and a blower structured to blow intake air to the siloxane trap to compensate for a pressure drop across the siloxane trap. A trap performance sensor of the siloxane mitigation system is structured for monitoring an exhaust pressure to indicate performance degradation of the siloxane mitigation system and activate an operator-perceptible alert.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 23, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 17, 2023
