  • Patent number: 10400650
    Abstract: An SCR injection system for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. Under certain conditions, reductant fluid supplied by the system may form deposits in a reductant injector. In order to dissolve the deposits, a reductant supply line includes at least a portion with a downward slope that is disposed above a reductant inlet of the reductant injector. This allows reductant fluid in the sloped portion to flow to the reductant inlet due to gravity. Advantageously, a bent portion is provided between the reductant inlet and the sloped portion in order to trap reductant fluid that may flow back towards the reductant injector when the system is purged.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10337385
    Abstract: A method for monitoring an SCR injection system is disclosed. The method includes operating a pump, and measuring a first pressure drop value in the SCR injection system during actuation of a reductant injector. A second pressure drop value in the SCR injection system is measured during a further actuation of the reductant injector. It is determined to perform a deposit mitigation strategy based on the first pressure drop value and the second pressure drop value.

  • Publication number: 20160298515
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards a method of controlling an engine system comprising an exhaust aftertreatment module and a controller. The exhaust aftertreatment module is for receiving exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine and comprises a reductant injector selectively operable to inject a reductant fluid from an injector outlet. The controller is configured to control injection of reductant fluid in one of a plurality of different regimes. A first regime comprises injecting reductant fluid in accordance with a first set of injection parameters for reacting with, and substantially reducing, one or more components of the exhaust gas in the exhaust aftertreatment module. A second regime comprises injecting reductant fluid in accordance with a second set of injection parameters for expelling solid reductant deposits formed over the injector outlet. The method comprises determining which of the plurality of regimes to implement.
