Abstract: A reductant dosing system includes an injector, a fixed displacement pump in fluid communication with the injector, a reductant source in fluid communication with the fixed displacement pump, a pressure sensor assembly that detects a pressure of a reductant and stores a calibration value, and a controller communicatively coupled to the fixed displacement pump and the pressure sensor assembly. The controller receives data that includes the detected pressure of the reductant and the calibration value. The controller, in response to the calibration value being within a predetermined calibration value range, calculates a flow rate of the fixed displacement pump based on at least the detected pressure and the calibration value, and, in response to the calibration value being outside the predetermined calibration value range, calculates the flow rate of the fixed displacement pump based on at least the detected pressure and a pre-determined calibration value different from the calibration value.

Abstract: A controller configured to be operatively coupled to a reductant insertion assembly comprising a first pump for inserting a reductant into a selective catalytic reduction system, is programmed to set an insertion interval timer for the first insertion interval in response to receiving a first insertion command. The controller starts the insertion interval timer, records an elapsed time period from the start of the insertion interval timer, and activates the first pump when the timer starts. The controller receives a second insertion command comprising information for activating the first pump for a second duty cycle for second insertion intervals different than the first insertion interval. If the second insertion interval is smaller than the recorded elapsed time period, the insertion interval timer is set for the second insertion interval, the insertion interval timer is started, and if not already activated, the first pump is activated for the second duty cycle.

Abstract: An assembly for reductant dosing error correction in an exhaust aftertreatment system includes an injector comprising a reductant insertion conduit; a pump configured to advance a quantity of dosed fluid reductant from a reductant source; a reductant source outlet defined by the reductant source and configured to release the quantity of dosed fluid reductant into the reductant insertion conduit; a pressurized reductant receiving chamber defining a pressurized reductant receiver inlet; a reductant insertion pressure sensor; and a doser comprising a controller. The controller of the doser is configured to, based on a first actual pressure of the reductant, calculate a second target flow rate for a second injection event subsequent to a first injection event and control a quantity of dosed fluid reductant released during the second injection event based on the second target flow rate.

Abstract: A controller includes a switching delay circuit structured to determine an open delay time and a close delay time for a reductant injector, each based on battery voltage and reductant injector coil temperature. A dosing circuit is structured to determine an open time that the armature pin must be in the fully open position so as to cause the injector to inject a first quantity of reductant. An actuation time is determined based on each of the open time, the open delay time, and the close delay time. The actuation time relates to a time that the coil must be energized so as to cause the injector to inject the first quantity of reductant. A switching command signal is transmitted to the injector to energize the coil for the calculated actuation time so as to cause the injector to inject the first quantity of reductant into an exhaust gas stream.
