Methods and systems are provided for an engine of a vehicle during a cold start. In one example, a method may include heating a catalyst of an exhaust aftertreatment device with a plurality of electric heaters during an unfueled engine operation. The engine may be operated as a pump to oscillate air across the exhaust aftertreatment device, thereby heating the air via the plurality of electric heaters which, in turn, heats the catalyst. A configuration of the catalyst may promote expedited light-off which may reduce emissions during the cold start.

Tank for a liquid solution based on water and urea which is suitable for being combined with a selective catalytic reduction system. The tank comprises: a container including an upper wall; a filling pipe union which is positioned on the upper wall of the container and which is suitable for introducing the liquid solution; a lower opening, from which the liquid solution being introduced passes into the container and which protrudes with respect to the upper wall towards the interior of the container; a closure float which is positioned in the container and which is connected to the lower opening and which is configured so as to raise and close the lower opening once the liquid solution in the container reaches a predetermined level.

A gas turbine engine system is equipped with a tempering system for a selective catalyst reduction system. The subject tempering system for a selective catalyst reduction system comprises a tempering compartment equipped with a plurality of relatively high temperature environment self-supporting pipes, and optionally, a plurality of flow vanes.

A heating device for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine and having: a tubular body, where a combustion chamber is obtained on the inside; a fuel injector, which injects fuel into the combustion chamber; at least one inlet opening, which can be connected to a fan so as to receive an air flow, which is directed to the combustion chamber and gets mixed with the fuel; a feeding channel, which receives air from the inlet opening, surrounds an end portion of the fuel injector and ends with a nozzle, which is arranged around an injection point of the fuel injector; and a spark plug, which is mounted through a side wall of the tubular body so as to trigger the combustion of a mixture of air and fuel. The fuel injector is configured to spray at least 80% of the fuel against an inner surface of the feeding channel.

A coolant collector bracket including a front side, a back side, and a top side is provided. The back side is opposite the front side and includes a plurality of coolant inlets for receiving coolant from a cylinder head. The top side includes an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler inlet and an EGR coolant outlet. The EGR coolant inlet and the EGR coolant outlet are substantially orthogonal to the plurality of coolant inlets.

Heat recovery component for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine, comprising an inlet, an outlet, a heat recovery branch conduit comprising a heat recovery branch conduit inlet, a heat recovery branch conduit outlet, and a heat exchanger arranged in the heat recovery branch conduit, a bypass branch conduit being separate from the heat recovery branch conduit, and a valve being configured to be rotatable between a heat recovery end position and a bypass end position, the valve being arranged to be rotatable around a rotation axis located in the bypass branch conduit, wherein the valve comprises a bypass valve flap and a heat recovery valve flap, the bypass valve flap and the heat recovery valve flap being operatively connected by a support.

A combined heating and power system is configured to generate energy as well capture a large percentage of energy that would otherwise be lost using components, including heat transfer components, embedded within a vessel to transfer energy in the form of heat to liquid within the vessel.

An exhaust component assembly for a vehicle exhaust system includes a housing defining an internal cavity configured to receive an exhaust gas after-treatment component. A first chamber is in fluid communication with the internal cavity upstream of the exhaust gas after-treatment component. A first nozzle introduces fluid into the first chamber and a first valve controls flow of the fluid from the first chamber into the internal cavity. A heat source is associated with the first nozzle or first chamber. A second chamber is in fluid communication with the internal cavity upstream of the exhaust gas after-treatment component, and the second chamber is a non-heated chamber. A second nozzle introduces fluid into the second chamber and a second valve controls flow of the fluid from the second chamber into the internal cavity. A controller controls the first and second valves based on at least one predetermined operating condition.
