  • Patent number: 10036294
    Abstract: An aftertreatment module includes a catalytic brick having upstream and downstream flanges sized to extend over potential leak flow paths between bricks. Additionally, an aftertreatment module has an array of similarly flanged bricks to reduce leakage through all interfaces between adjacent bricks. A frame for holding the array of bricks includes flow modulators to restrict leakage through an interface between the frame and at least one side surface defined by the array of bricks.

  • Patent number: 9802157
    Abstract: An aftertreatment module may include a housing with an inlet port and an outlet port. A selective catalytic reduction catalyst may be disposed between the inlet port and the outlet port. A diffuser plate may be disposed downstream of the inlet port and upstream of the selective catalytic reduction catalysts. The diffuser plate may include a first section including a first degree of porosity and a second section including a second degree of porosity. The first degree of porosity may be greater than the second degree of porosity.

  • Patent number: 9797285
    Abstract: A diesel particulate filter (DPF) canister for an exhaust gas aftertreatment module is disclosed. The DPF canister may include a canister housing having an inlet flange and an outlet flange attached at opposite ends, and a canister sealing flange installed there between. The outlet flange may have a greater outer diameter than the inlet flange, and the canister sealing flange may have a greater outer diameter than the inlet and outlet flanges. A DPF receptacle may include a cylindrical receptacle housing with a receptacle sealing flange attached at one end and having a receptacle sealing flange inner diameter that is greater than the outer diameter of the inlet flange, but less than the outer diameters of the outlet flange and the canister sealing flange so that the DPF canister can only be installed with the inlet flange inserted through the receptacle sealing flange.

  • Publication number: 20140007562
    Abstract: An aftertreatment module for use with an exhaust system is disclosed. The aftertreatment module may have at least one exhaust treatment device, and a generally cylindrical housing configured to receive the at least one exhaust treatment device. The aftertreatment module may also have an inlet integral with the generally cylindrical housing and configured to direct exhaust into the at least one exhaust treatment device, and an outlet integral with the generally cylindrical housing and configured to direct exhaust out of the at least one exhaust treatment device. At least one of the inlet and the outlet may extend in a radial direction of the generally cylindrical housing from an axial location at which an open area of the at least one of the inlet and the outlet at least partially overlaps with the at least one exhaust treatment device.
