  • Patent number: 7337607
    Abstract: A system or method for controlling the delivery of fuel into the transient flow of an exhaust system to control emissions. A mathematical model representative of the exhaust system can be used to determine, based on operating conditions of the exhaust system, a rate of fuel delivery suitable for achieving a desired result. The desired result can be to increase the temperature of a diesel particulate filter to a temperature suitable for regeneration without exceeding a temperature that may damage the diesel particulate filter.

  • Publication number: 20060101810
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for dispensing fuel into the transient flow of an exhaust system to control exhaust emissions. A controller initiates the delivery of fuel into the exhaust when an emissions control device, such as a diesel particulate filter, requires increased exhaust temperatures for regeneration. In operation, pressurized fuel and pressurized air are supplied to a fuel delivery device, wherein a fuel injector pre-mixes fuel with air. The fuel-air mixture is then dispensed into the exhaust flow through a nozzle, causing a rapid pressure drop in the mixture that results in the pressurized air expanding rapidly, breaking the fuel spray into fine particles.

  • Publication number: 20050247051
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an engine exhaust treatment system (20) including a first exhaust gas path (24) having a diesel particulate filter (32) and a second exhaust gas path (26) having a catalytic converter (34). The system also includes a valve arrangement (36, 38), for controlling exhaust gas flow between the first and second paths (24, 26). The system (20) further includes a controller (40) for sensing/monitoring operating conditions of the engine (22) and the condition of the diesel particulate filter (32). The controller (40) shifts exhaust gas flow between the first and second paths (24, 26) based on the operating condition of the engine (22) and/or the condition of the diesel particulate filter (32) to optimize filtration efficiency while preventing unacceptable levels of backpressure and detrimental regeneration of the filter (32).
