  • Exhaust treatment system having an SCR with a center inlet
    Patent number: 9776135
    Abstract: An exhaust treatment system for a work vehicle, which has an exhaust conduit transmitting an exhaust flow from an engine and to a DOC system, is disclosed. The DOC system has a reductant introduced and mixed into the exhaust flow, and a DOC conduit connects the DOC to a center inlet of an SCR. The SCR includes at least two exhaust chambers. When the exhaust flow enters the SCR at the center inlet, the exhaust flow enters a central chamber where it is split into at least two separate exhaust flows which are moved in at least two different directions away from each other. Each separate exhaust flow is moved through a separate exhaust chamber and substrate. A conduit moves at least one of the separate exhaust flows into an area holding another exhaust flow, and the two separate exhaust flows are combined and expelled through an outlet.
