  • Patent number: 11686234
    Abstract: An exhaust treatment system for a work vehicle includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system having an SCR outlet for expelling treated exhaust flow therefrom, a flow conduit in fluid communication with the outlet, an exhaust sensor positioned within the flow conduit downstream of the outlet, and a flow mixer positioned upstream of the exhaust sensor. The flow mixer has an end wall defining sector openings circumferentially extending between first and second sector sides and radially between radially inner and outer sector ends. Moreover, the flow mixer has swirler vanes, where each of the swirler vanes extends circumferentially from the first sector side of a respective one of the sector openings and radially between radially inner and outer vane ends. Particularly, the radially outer vane end of each of the swirler vanes is spaced apart from the radially outer sector end of the respective one of the sector openings.

  • Patent number: 11268427
    Abstract: In one aspect, an aspiration system for a work vehicle includes an exhaust tube extending along a flow direction and an aspiration tube in flow communication with the exhaust tube at an aspiration zone of the exhaust tube such that the aspiration tube is configured to receive an aspirated airflow. The system also includes an airflow area modifier provided in operative association with the aspiration zone and actuatable to adjust a cross-sectional flow area of the exhaust tube within the aspiration zone. The system includes an actuator provided in operative association with the airflow area modifier such that the actuator is configured to alter an orientation of the airflow area modifier such that the cross-sectional flow area of the exhaust tube within the aspiration zone is adjusted.

  • Patent number: 9869229
    Abstract: A system includes a mounting assembly for a muffler of an off-road vehicle including a first mounting pad rotatably coupled to a first support. The first mounting pad is configured to rotate in a first direction and in a second direction, opposite the first direction, about a first rotation axis. The mounting assembly also includes a second mounting pad rotatably coupled to a second support. The second mounting pad is configured to rotate in the first direction and in the second direction about a second rotation axis. Moreover, the first and second mounting pads are laterally offset from one another relative to a longitudinal axis of the muffler, the first and second mounting pads are configured to support the muffler, and the first and second mounting pads are configured to independently rotate relative to the respective supports about the respective rotation axes.

  • Patent number: 9688134
    Abstract: A system includes a muffler coupled to a frame of the off-road vehicle and mounted in a substantially horizontal orientation and a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) fluidly and mechanically coupled to the muffler. In certain embodiments, the DOC is mounted in a substantially vertical orientation rearward of the muffler relative to a primary direction of travel of the off-road vehicle.
