Exhaust gas aftertreatment unit and work vehicle
10215071 · 2019-02-26 · ·

An exhaust gas aftertreatment unit includes a selective catalytic reduction device that treats engine exhaust gas, a connecting pipe that guides the engine exhaust gas to the reduction device, a reducing agent injection device disposed on the connecting pipe to inject a reducing agent into the exhaust gas, and a cooling water flowpath that guides cooling water to an internal flowpath of the injection device. The cooling water path includes a first flowpath joined with the internal flowpath, second and third flowpaths branching off from the first flowpath, and a branching point where the first flowpath branches into the second flowpath and the third flowpath is positioned higher than a connecting portion of the injection device and the first flowpath. The third flowpath extends further upward than the second flowpath from the branching point. The second and third flowpaths merge on an opposite side of the branching point.

Systems and methods for purging a fuel vapor canister
09879639 · 2018-01-30 · ·

A method for an engine is presented, wherein during a first condition, pressurized gas from an engine coolant degas bottle to an ejector positioned in a vent line coupled to a fuel vapor canister; and the contents of the fuel vapor canister are purged to an engine intake. The ejector may draw atmospheric air into the fuel vapor canister, thus enabling purging of the fuel vapor canister even when an engine intake vacuum is below a threshold. In this way, boosted engines and other engines configured to operate with reduced intake vacuum may execute canister purging events that are independent of engine intake pressure.

Mechanical coolant pump

A coolant pump includes an impeller pump wheel, a pump housing defining an outlet volute, and an outlet valve arrangement. The pump housing comprises an outlet volute housing which defines a first outlet channel comprising a valve opening. The valve opening is defined by a valve seat which defines a valve seat plane and a symmetry plane. The symmetry plane is arranged in the middle of and rectangular to the valve seat plane. The outlet valve arrangement is in the first outlet channel and comprises a valve flap which opens/closes the valve opening. The valve flap comprises a flap seat corresponding to the valve seat. The valve flap rotates around a pivot axis parallel to the symmetry plane and having an eccentricity from the symmetry plane which is between 1/20 and 1/1 of a distance of the pivot axis to the valve seat plane when the valve flap is open.
