  • Publication number: 20250376938
    Abstract: An aftertreatment system includes a decomposition housing, a doser coupled to the decomposition housing, a first unit upstream of the decomposition housing, a second unit downstream of the decomposition housing, a first differential pressure (DP) sensor, a second DP sensor, a first pressure tube (PT) segment, a second PT segment, and a third PT segment. The decomposition housing includes a decomposition housing port for providing fluid communication through the decomposition housing. The first unit includes a first port for providing fluid communication through a housing of the first unit. The second aftertreatment unit includes a second port for providing fluid communication through a housing of the second unit. The first PT segment is in fluid communication with the decomposition housing port, a first inlet of the first DP sensor, and a first inlet of the second DP sensor.

  • Patent number: 10024211
    Abstract: An aftertreatment system comprises a SCR system. The SCR system includes a housing having an inlet, an outlet and defining an internal volume. At least one catalyst can be positioned within the internal volume. A mounting support is positioned around at least a portion of a perimeter of the housing. A heat shield is positioned around the perimeter of the housing such that the housing is positioned substantially within the heat shield. A portion of the heat shield is disposed on and in contact with the mounting support. A clamp is positioned around a heat shield perimeter. The clamp is positioned on the portion of the heat shield disposed on and in contact with the mounting support. The mounting support is configured to transmit a clamping force of the clamp on the heat shield to the housing to prevent buckling of the heat shield from the clamping force.
