Abstract: Dosing components (22, 24, 32) in an engine exhaust after-treatment system (18) that includes an SCR catalyst (20) are thermally managed by flowing engine coolant through a coolant passage in a urea injector (22) that injects aqueous urea into the after-treatment system, controlling a three-way valve (60) to selectively direct coolant flow leaving the urea injector to a first branch that is in heat exchange relationship with a tank (24) that holds a supply of aqueous urea and a supply pump module (32) that pumps aqueous urea from the tank to the urea injector, and a second branch that is not in heat exchange relationship with either the tank or the supply pump, and returning coolant from the branches to the engine cooling system.

Abstract: An exhaust gas-cooling device for use on an exhaust gas conveyance system of a vehicle having an exhaust gas passageway to emit exhaust gases from an engine to an outlet includes an exhaust passageway pipe in fluid communication with the engine, and a micro-venturi mixing chamber pipe in fluid communication with and located downstream of the exhaust passageway pipe. The micro-venturi mixing chamber pipe defines the outlet of the exhaust gas-cooling device and has at least one aperture disposed on a pipe body of the micro-venturi mixing chamber for introducing ambient air into the micro-venturi mixing chamber pipe.

Abstract: An Exhaust Temperature Reduction Device for Aftertreatment Device is provided useful for lowering the temperature of exhaust gasses exiting the tailpipe of a vehicle having an aftertreatment device. The Exhaust Temperature Reduction Device for Aftertreatment Device may be manufactured from a single piece of formed sheet metal, two pieces of formed sheet metal that have been joined, or a net formed process such as investment cast stainless steel.

Abstract: An exhaust gas-cooling device for use on an exhaust gas conveyance system of a vehicle to emit exhaust gases from an engine to an outlet includes a pipe defining an exhaust gas passageway that is in fluid communication with the engine, and a diffuser in fluid communication with the exhaust gas passageway. The diffuser is configured for receiving the pipe, and has a body defining an outlet of the exhaust gas passageway to the ambient, and a diffusing structure disposed on the body generally opposite the outlet. The diffusing structure has a separating structure configured for receiving and diverting the flow of exhaust gas emitted from the pipe, and a guiding structure configured for guiding the diverted flow of exhaust gas along the body to the outlet.
