  • Publication number: 20190195106
    Abstract: An aftertreatment system structured to decompose constituents of an exhaust produced by an engine having a turbocharger including a turbine and a compressor coupled thereto, includes: a selective catalytic reduction system; an injector fluidly coupled to the selective catalytic reduction system and structured to selectively insert a reductant into the selective catalytic reduction system; an intake conduit fluidly coupled to a compressor outlet of the compressor and structured to deliver a compressed air from the compressor to the engine; and an air delivery line fluidly coupling the intake conduit to the injector, the air delivery line structured to deliver a portion of the compressed air to the injector.

  • Publication number: 20190178130
    Abstract: A dosing module includes an inlet manifold, an outlet manifold, a first branch, and a second branch. The inlet manifold is configured to selectively receive reductant from a pump. The outlet manifold is configured to selectively provide the reductant to a nozzle. The first branch is coupled to the inlet manifold and the outlet manifold. The first branch is configured to selectively provide the reductant from the inlet manifold to the outlet manifold. The first branch includes a first flow restrictor configured to restrict the reductant as the reductant is provided to the outlet manifold. The second branch is coupled to the inlet manifold and the outlet manifold. The second branch is configured to selectively provide the reductant from the inlet manifold to the outlet manifold separately from the first branch. The second branch includes a second flow restrictor that is configured to restrict the reductant.

  • Publication number: 20190128164
    Abstract: A dosing module includes a frame assembly, a first manifold, a first dosing tray, and a first rail assembly. The frame assembly includes a plurality of panels. The first manifold is coupled to one of the plurality of panels. The first manifold is configured to separately receive air and reductant. The first manifold includes a first connector extending from the first manifold. The first dosing tray includes a first base panel, a second manifold, and a second connector. The second manifold is coupled to the first base panel. The second manifold is configured to separately receive air and reductant from the first manifold and to provide the air and the reductant back to the first manifold. The second connector extends from the second manifold. The second connector is configured to be selectively coupled to the first connector. The first rail assembly includes a first member and a second member.

  • Patent number: 9975543
    Abstract: A combustion-electric propulsion system includes an alternator, an engine control module, and an electric aftertreatment component. The alternator is configured to receive a rotational input from a driveshaft and to utilize the rotational input to generate electric energy. The engine control module is configured to receive an input. The input corresponds to a drive command or a brake command. The engine control module is configured to enter an idle mode while not receiving the drive command or the brake command. The electric aftertreatment component is configured to treat exhaust. The electric aftertreatment component includes a plurality of resistance elements that are electrically communicable with the alternator. The alternator is configured to selectively transmit the electric energy to the plurality of resistance elements when in the idle mode such that the plurality of resistance elements heat at least one of the exhaust and the electric aftertreatment component.
