Abstract: A system and method for mitigating deposit of diesel emission fluid (DEF) decomposition products on interior surfaces of an internal combustion engine exhaust system (14). A processor in a controller (34) contains a model-based control algorithm (50A; 50B) for controlling DEF injection by a DEF injector (24) to mitigate deposit formation.

Abstract: A method (10) for injecting ammonia (NH3) into exhaust gas upstream of a catalyst of an aftertreatment system includes the steps of determining whether a regeneration event is imminent (14) on the basis of predetermined parameters, and determining whether dosing parameters are met (22). The method (10) further includes the steps of calculating an amount of NH3 to fill the catalyst (18) and adjusting a quantity of NH3 dosed (22) before the regeneration event occurs.

Abstract: A device and method for catalytic reduction of NOx in gaseous products of a combustion process before entry into the atmosphere. The gaseous and particulate products of a combustion process flow radially through a radial flow particulate filter element (24) that is effective to trap particulate matter, and are then directed axially through a collector (26). An injector (30) introduces a reductant into an axial end of the collector for entrainment with axial flow through the collector in a direction away from the injector. Flow leaving the collector is directed through an SCR catalyst (40) where catalytic reduction of NOx occurs.

Abstract: A diesel particulate filter has a thin band of washcoated filter material either on the inlet of the upstream side or the outlet of the downstream side. The washcoating is with platinum group metals (PGM), e.g., Pt and Pd added to the surface and pore structure of a DPF. The PDF should provide comparable or improved distance between active regeneration and/or should prevent HC/CO slip during active DPF regeneration.

Abstract: A urea injection control system (10) for a vehicle having an exhaust line (16) in fluid communication with a SCR catalyst (18) and a urea injector (14) for injecting urea into the exhaust line includes a controller (12) for controlling the flow rate of urea injection at the urea injector. The controller (12) compares an optimum urea flow rate (20) with a flexible urea flow rate (22) determined by a flexible flow rate calculator. The controller (12) selects the minimum value of the optimum urea flow rate (20) and the flexible urea flow rate (22), and controls the urea injector (14) to inject urea at the minimum value.

Abstract: An exhaust aftertreatment system (10) for a vehicle having an engine (14) includes a fluid passageway (20) extending from the engine to an ambient (18) for fluidly communicating exhaust gas (F), and a NOx reduction catalyst (28) disposed on the fluid passageway and downstream of the engine. An injector (34) is disposed downstream of the engine (14) and upstream of the NOx reduction catalyst (28) on the fluid passageway (20) for injecting a reductant (36) into the fluid passageway. A heated mesh device (44) is disposed on the fluid passageway downstream of the injector (34) and upstream of the NOx reduction catalyst (28). The reductant (36) that is injected from the injector (34) impinges on the heated mesh device (44).

Abstract: A system for use in injection of a liquid reductant into an exhaust gas (20) and for evaporating the liquid reductant includes an exhaust pipe (12) having an interior area (15). Exhaust gas (20) flows through the interior area (15) of the exhaust pipe (12), the flow of exhaust gas being at an elevated temperature from the ambient. A deflection plate (118) has a non-planar shape and is disposed within the interior area (15) of the exhaust pipe (12). An injector (14) injects the liquid reductant into the exhaust pipe (12) and directs the liquid reductant at the deflection plate (118).
