  • Patent number: 11933211
    Abstract: Operating an engine exhaust aftertreatment system includes receiving fluid pressure data of a reductant pump, determining a pump operating state, and comparing a pump health parameter to a prognostic pump failure criterion based upon the determining a pump operating state. Operating an engine exhaust aftertreatment system further includes outputting a pump health alert based upon a difference between the pump health parameter and the prognostic pump failure criterion. Related control logic is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 16, 2021
    Date of Patent: March 19, 2024

  • Patent number: 11615660
    Abstract: A controller may obtain data associated with operation of an engine of a machine that comprises a first engine bank associated with a first set of turbochargers and a second engine bank associated with a second set of turbochargers, and may determine, based on the data, that the engine is in an operating state that requires the first and second sets of turbochargers to be operative. The controller may determine, based on the data, a difference in operation of the first engine bank and the second engine bank and identify, based on the data, a turbocharger failure condition associated with a particular set of turbochargers, of the first and second sets of turbochargers. The controller may identify, based on the data, a particular turbocharger, of the particular set of turbochargers, as a failed turbocharger, and may perform one or more actions based on identifying the particular turbocharger.
