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.

Abstract: A method of retrofitting an engine with an exhaust system is disclosed. The method may include placing an exhaust treatment device in an exhaust duct of the engine, and placing an exhaust heater in fluid communication with the exhaust duct of the engine at a location upstream of the exhaust treatment device. The method may further include connecting an air supply passage at a first end to an inlet duct of the engine at a location downstream of a compressor and at a second end to the exhaust heater. The method may additionally include placing a restrictor valve in the inlet duct of the engine at a location downstream of the first end of the air supply passage.
