Abstract: Described herein is a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) filter that includes a substrate that includes a first surface on a first side of the substrate and second surface on a second side of the substrate. The SCR filter further includes a semi-permeable membrane applied to the first surface. Additionally, the SCR filter includes an SCR washcoat applied to the second surface.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are disclosed for targeted regeneration of a catalyst device in an exhaust aftertreatment system of an internal combustion engine. The targeted regeneration can include interpreting, initiating, and/or completing a regeneration event for an SCR catalyst or other type of catalyst in response to a catalyst deactivation condition. A catalyst regeneration event includes at least one of exposing the catalyst to a sufficiently high temperature over a time period that removes contaminants from the catalyst and manipulation of the exhaust gas composition to initiate and/or accelerate removal of contaminants from the catalyst.

Abstract: An exhaust aftertreatment system includes an oxidation catalyst and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst disposed in an exhaust stream of an internal combustion engine. A stay warm thermal management strategy is employed after warm-up of the aftertreatment system is complete to maintain the aftertreatment system above a temperature providing a desired performance threshold of one or more components of the aftertreatment system, such as the oxidation catalyst or the SCR catalyst.

Abstract: An exhaust aftertreatment system for treating exhaust flow from an internal combustion engine, and associated method, allows for independent control of exhaust flow through plural exhaust legs of the exhaust aftertreatment system. The independent control of exhaust flow is carried out by adjusting a valve positioned in each the exhaust legs based on a value of a signal generated by a flow measurement device positioned along at least one of the exhaust legs. The valves can be adjusted to force a target flow in a exhaust leg, relative flow among exhaust legs, exhaust temperature in an exhaust leg, exhaust backpressure and/or imbalance within the exhaust legs.

Abstract: A system and method for regeneration of an aftertreatment component are described. The disclosed method can employ any one or combination of operating modes that obtain a target condition of the exhaust gas to support or initiate regeneration of the aftertreatment device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for managing combustion in an internal combustion engine that includes an operating condition module configured to determine an operating load of an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine can includes multiple banks of cylinders. The apparatus further includes a cylinder bank control module configured to select at least one bank of cylinders of the multiple banks of cylinders to be operational based on the determined operating load of the engine. The apparatus also includes a cylinder bank command module configured to generate a cylinder bank command based on a cylinder bank control instruction received from the cylinder bank control module, the cylinder bank control instruction comprising the selection of the at least one operational bank of cylinders.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are disclosed for disabling control of one or more outputs of an internal combustion engine system in response to an engine-out NOx sensor during a high frequency pressure pulsation associated with the exhaust gas at the engine-out NOx sensor. A high frequency pressure pulsation event may be determined in response to a pressure sensor measurement, or in response to operating parameters of one or more components of the system indicating high torque output conditions, and/or by a blade position of a turbine adjacent the NOx sensor indicating passage of the exhaust gas pressure pulsations to the NOx sensor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing aftertreatment systems that include passive NOx adsorption devices and SCR catalyst elements are disclosed. Temperature generation devices upstream of the passive NOx adsorption devices facilitate control of the aftertreatment systems to improve fuel economy and NOx conversion efficiency.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed, including an exhaust conditions module structured to interpret a diesel particulate filter (DPF) delta pressure value, a flow balance correlation, a NOx input value, and an exhaust flow rate value. A flow determination module is structured to determine a flow imbalance value in response to the DPF delta pressure value, the flow balance correlation, and the exhaust flow rate value. A reductant determination module is structured to determine a first reductant injection command and a second reductant injection command in response to the flow imbalance value and the NOx input value.
