A common rail assembly used in a urea injection system, comprising at least a first common rail and a second common rail which are connected to each other, wherein the first common rail comprises a first housing, a pressure detecting device mounted on the first housing and a pressure adjusting device. The first housing comprises a first urea inlet channel, a first urea outlet channel, at least one first feeding inlet connected to the first urea inlet channel and at least one first back-flow outlet connected to the first urea outlet channel. The pressure detecting device is connected to the first urea inlet channel. The pressure adjusting device can connect/disconnect the first urea inlet channel to/from the first urea outlet channel. Also disclosed are a urea injection system and the application of the common rail assembly. A proper number of common rails selected based on different application requirements can be combined together by at least connecting the first common rail to the second common rail in series. The extension capability thereof is relatively high.

A reduction-causing agent supply device includes a tank to store a reduction-causing agent, a pumping unit to pump the reduction-causing agent, a reduction-causing agent supply passage to supply the reduction-causing agent, an injection nozzle to inject the reduction-causing agent into an exhaust pipe, a drawing-back unit to draw the reduction-causing agent toward the tank, and a controller. After stop of an engine, the controller performs: reduction-causing agent drawing-back process of drawing the reduction-causing agent toward the tank and introducing exhaust gas from the injection nozzle into the reduction-causing agent supply passage; and gas discharge process of supplying the reduction-causing agent to compress the exhaust gas inside the reduction-causing agent supply passage, discharging the compressed exhaust gas from the injection nozzle, and closing a valve of the injection nozzle before the reduction-causing agent reaches the injection nozzle.

Synergized platinum group metals (SPGM) with ultra-low PGM loadings employed as close-coupled (CC) three-way catalysts (TWC) systems with varied material compositions and configurations are disclosed. SPGM CC catalysts in which ZPGM compositions of binary or ternary spinel structures supported onto support oxides are coupled with commercialized PGM UF catalysts and tested under Federal Test Procedure FTP-75 within TGDI and PI engines. The performance of the TWC systems including SPGM CC (with ultra-low PGM loadings) catalyst and commercialized PGM UF catalyst is compared to the performance of commercialized PGM CC and PGM UF catalysts. The disclosed TWC systems indicate that SPGM CC TWC catalytic performance is comparable or even exceeds high PGM-based conventional TWC catalysts, with reduced tailpipe emissions.

A system for mobile carbon capture, preferably including a capture module, a regeneration module, and a storage module 130. The system can optionally include a thermal control module and/or a dehumidifier. A method for mobile carbon capture, preferably including adsorbing a target species, desorbing the target species, and storing the target species. The method can optionally include pre-treating input gas, offloading stored species, and/or regenerating desiccators.

A system includes a controller configured to perform an enable operation responsive to receiving information indicative of an enable parameter, the enable operation includes: determining a predicted downstream NOx value of an exhaust gas stream exiting a NOx storage catalyst; determining a downstream NOx value of the exhaust gas stream exiting the NOx storage catalyst; determining an error between the predicted downstream NOx value and the determined downstream NOx value; comparing the error to an error threshold; and determining that the NOx storage catalyst is in good health responsive to determining that the error does not exceed the error threshold. The controller is further configured to perform a disable operation responsive to receiving information indicative of a disable parameter, the disable operation causing a deactivation of at least a portion of the controller.

The present invention relates to cerium oxide particles that have excellent heat resistance especially useful for catalysts, functional ceramics, solid electrolyte for fuel cells, polishing, ultraviolet absorbers and the like, and particularly suitable for use as a catalyst or co-catalyst material, for instance in catalysis for purifying vehicle exhaust gas. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing such cerium oxide particles, and a catalyst, such as for purifying exhaust gas, utilizing these cerium oxide particles.

A urea water solution injection system includes a urea water solution injection device for spraying a urea water solution into a portion of an exhaust passageway upstream of a selective catalytic reduction catalyst device, to reduce NOx in exhaust gas discharged from an internal combustion engine. Engine coolant is circulated through the urea water solution injection device to prevent freezing of the urea water solution. A crystal dissolution control unit performs crystal dissolution control on the urea water solution injection device by energizing at a preset amount of energization at a state where a urea water solution supply pump for supplying a urea water solution to the urea water solution injection device is kept stopped, and the crystal dissolution control unit performs the crystal dissolution control for a crystal dissolving energization time calculated in advance, after the engine is started but before a urea water solution is supplied.
