  • Patent number: 8984868
    Abstract: An exhaust system for a machine is disclosed. The exhaust system may have a diffuser configured to receive exhaust from an engine. The exhaust system may further have a plurality of dosers associated with the diffuser and configured to inject fuel into the diffuser. The exhaust system may also have a controller configured to selectively control an amount of fuel injected by each of the plurality of dosers based on a velocity of the exhaust adjacent to each doser. In addition, the exhaust system may have an after-treatment component fluidly connected downstream of the diffuser and configured to heat the exhaust by oxidizing the injected fuel.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130291498
    Abstract: An exhaust system is disclosed. The exhaust system may have a plenum configured to receive exhaust from an engine. The exhaust system may also have a first filter bank having a plurality of filter assemblies and configured to receive a first flow of exhaust from the plenum. The exhaust system may further have a second filter bank having a plurality of filter assemblies and configured to receive a second flow of exhaust from the plenum. In addition, the exhaust system may have a distribution device located between the first and second filter banks. The distribution device may have a plurality of perforations. A porosity of the distribution device may be configured to selectively distribute exhaust to the plurality of filter assemblies.

  • Publication number: 20130291518
    Abstract: An exhaust system for a machine is disclosed. The exhaust system may have a first conduit configured to receive a first portion of an exhaust flow from an engine. The exhaust system may further have a second conduit configured to receive a remaining portion of the exhaust flow from the engine. The exhaust system may also have a diffuser connected at downstream ends of the first and the second conduits. In addition, the exhaust system may have an after-treatment component fluidly connected downstream of the diffuser. The exhaust system may also have a pre-heater configured to heat exhaust in the second conduit.
