Abstract: An ammonia generating apparatus comprises a housing comprising a first end wall on which a reductant injector configured to insert a reductant into the housing is mountable. A heating coil assembly is disposed within the housing. A first end of the heating coil assembly is located proximate to a location of the first end wall where a reductant injector tip of the reductant injector is located when the reductant injector is mounted on the first end wall. The heating coil assembly is configured to generate heat sufficient to thermolyze the reductant to generate ammonia and reaction byproducts, in response to an electric current being passed therethrough. A hydrolysis catalyst can be disposed downstream of the heating coil assembly for catalyzing hydrolysis of the reaction byproducts into ammonia.

Abstract: A decomposition chamber for an exhaust aftertreatment system includes an inlet conduit centered on an inlet conduit axis and configured to receive exhaust, a decomposition conduit coupled to the inlet conduit, an endcap coupled to the decomposition conduit, and an injector coupled to the endcap and configured to provide reductant into the decomposition conduit along an injection axis. The decomposition chamber includes a guide swirl mixer coupled to at least one of the inlet conduit or the endcap. The guide swirl mixer includes a first portion disposed within the inlet conduit, and a second portion disposed within the decomposition conduit such that the inlet conduit axis extends through the second portion. The second portion extends at least partially around the injection axis.

Abstract: An aftertreatment component's shape, entrance geometry, and/or position within an aftertreatment assembly can be modified for local and/or bulk exhaust flow control. In some implementations, a body of the aftertreatment component has a non-circular cross-section, a non-circular opening, and/or a variable face geometry. The non-circular cross-section and/or opening can be of a variety of different shapes.
