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.

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.

Abstract: An after-treatment device that includes a diesel particulate filter (DPF) requiring periodic regeneration includes a sensor providing a signal indicative of a soot accumulation and at least one device providing an operating parameter indicative of a work mode of the machine. A controller determines a soot loading of the DPF based least partially on the soot signal, and a readiness level based on the operating parameter. A soot level trigger is determined based on a time period since a regeneration was completed and the readiness level, and a debounce time period is determined based on the soot loading and the readiness level. The controller is configured to initiate a regeneration event of the DPF when the debounce time period has expired while the soot loading exceeds the soot level trigger.
