  • Patent number: 10746068
    Abstract: A system for reutilizing exhaust energy including a decomposition reactor, a turbine including a magnet, the turbine in fluid communication with the decomposition reactor, a coil disposed proximate to the decomposition reactor, the coil electrically coupled to the magnet, and a controller communicatively coupled to the turbine, the controller structured to determine exhaust energy output of a turbine associated with an exhaust system, and cause generation of a magnetic field based on the exhaust energy output, wherein the magnetic field causes a portion of the decomposition reactor to heat.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 10, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 18, 2020

  • Patent number: 9267411
    Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering a vehicular fluid to a component of the vehicle. A reductant delivery system of a selective catalytic reduction system delivers the vehicular fluid to the component of the vehicle. The reductant delivery system includes a compressed air source, a tank in fluid communication with the compressed air source, a dosing module in fluid communication with the tank, and a control module electrically coupled to the compressed air source. The tank may contain a diesel exhaust fluid and the dosing module is in fluid communication with the component that receives the diesel exhaust fluid. The control module regulates an amount of air pressure in the tank to deliver the vehicular fluid to the dosing module. The system omits a vehicular fluid pump such that the compressed air from the compressed air source pressurizes the dosing module with the vehicular fluid.
