The present invention provides a honeycomb catalytic converter including: a honeycomb structured body in which multiple through-holes are arranged longitudinally in parallel with one another with a partition wall therebetween; and a noble metal supported on the honeycomb structured body, wherein the honeycomb structured body contains a ceria-zirconia composite oxide and alumina, and cerium on a surface of each partition wall has a lower concentration than cerium in a central portion of the partition wall in a thickness direction.

Systems and methods of the present invention related to an exhaust gas purification system comprising: (a) a first injector for injecting ammonia or a compound decomposable to ammonia into the exhaust gas; (b) a diesel particulate filter including an inlet and an outlet, wherein the filter includes a selective catalyst reduction (SCR) catalyst and an oxidation catalyst; (c) a second injector for injecting ammonia or a compound decomposable to ammonia into the exhaust gas, located downstream of the filter; and (d) a downstream catalyst comprising a selective catalytic reduction catalyst, located downstream of the second injector.

The vehicle of the present application includes a vehicle frame; a muffler supported by the vehicle frame; and a supporting unit comprising a rubber damper, located between the muffler and the vehicle frame and, connected to the vehicle frame such that the muffler is suspended from the vehicle frame and supported by the vehicle frame. The supporting unit comprises a first bracket and a second bracket on the first bracket.

Superhydrophobic coatings to reduce deposit formation of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) within selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems.

A diesel engine emissions catalyst which may be used to fill a niche between standard oxidation catalyst and diesel particulate filters for control of diesel particulate matter. The catalyst includes a structure (substrate) comprising one or more coated, corrugated micro-expanded metal foil layers. The coated surface may be a high surface area, stabilized, and promoted washcoat layer. The corrugated pattern may include a herringbone-style pattern that, when in use, is oriented in a longitudinal direction of the diesel engine exhaust flow. The micro-expanded metal foil provides small openings or eyes that, as the exhaust flow passes through the catalyst (transverse to the eye opening), particulates in the flow impinge on the surface and becomes trapped in the eyes. The catalyst may be used to treat a locomotive engine exhaust stream and may be used with a selective catalyst reduction system.

The invention relates to a leakage treatment member (50) and an exhaust aftertreatment unit (40) configured to be sealingly arranged in a fluid passage (30) of an exhaust aftertreatment system for treating exhaust from an internal combustion engine, said exhaust aftertreatment unit (40) comprising an exhaust aftertreatment element (42) confined by an outer wall (44) of said exhaust aftertreatment unit, said leakage treatment member being configured to be arranged between:—an inner perimeter (32) of the fluid passage of the exhaust aftertreatment system, and—the outer wall of the exhaust aftertreatment unit, the leakage treatment member comprising an exhaust aftertreatment component for aftertreatment of any leakage of exhaust gases past said aftertreatment unit in said fluid passage.

A method for operating a particle filter of a vehicle includes creating an ash to be introduced into a filter body of the particle filter by arranging a carrier material of an ash former on an input side of an end face of the filter body, as viewed in a flow direction of an exhaust gas through the particle filter, and combusting the carrier material, where a non-combustible constituent of the ash former is arranged on the carrier material. The created ash is then introduced into the filter body of the particle filter.

A pillar-shaped honeycomb structure filter including a plurality of first cells and a plurality of second cells, the first cells and the second cells being alternately arranged adjacent to each other with a porous partition wall interposed therebetween, wherein a ceramic porous film, in which an average film thickness T (unit: μm) is 2 to 50 μm, a porosity P (unit: %) is 65 to 90%, and the average film thickness T and the porosity P satisfy a relational expression of 0.36T+60≤P≤0.75T+72, is formed on a surface of each of the first cells.

A heating disk for heating up a stream of exhaust gas and/or a component for exhaust gas aftertreatment has a honeycomb body, wound from a plurality of smooth and corrugated metal layers stacked on top of one another. The honeycomb body is received within a carrier shell and an electrical contact is fed through the carrier shell. The honeycomb body is connected to a current source via the electrical contact. The electrical contact has a contact strip within the carrier shell extending in the circumferential direction of the carrier shell. An insulating region is formed between the carrier shell and the contact strip. A plurality of stacks of layers are electrically insulated from one another. Each of the stacks of layers are formed from the plurality of smooth and corrugated metal layers, and which are arranged directly adjacent to one another and conductively connected to the contact strip.

A pipe structure includes a pipe disposed in a state of contact with the air, a fluid with a temperature of at least 100° C. flowing inside the pipe; and a coating material containing nickel oxide and coated onto an outer periphery portion of the pipe.
