A vehicle includes an exhaust aftertreatment system for use with an automotive internal combustion engine. The system includes a reagent mixer configured to deliver a reagent for mixing with exhaust gases produced by the engine. The reagent mixer includes a flow-redirection housing defining an mixing chamber and a manifold coupled downstream of the flow-redirection housing. A doser is mounted to the flow-redirection housing and is configured to inject the reagent toward the mixing chamber.

Exhaust gas system (1) for an internal combustion engine (2) of a saddle-ride type vehicle (20), comprising: a first conduit portion (3) with one or more primary catalysts (6) arranged inside thereof; a second conduit portion (4) with one or more secondary catalysts (6) arranged inside thereof; a third conduit portion (5) inside of which there is arranged a number of secondary catalysts (6) which is less than the number of secondary catalysts arranged inside said second conduit portion (4); at least one outlet (16,17) for discharging exhaust gas to atmosphere; wherein said first conduit portion (3) extends from a first end (11) connectable to an outlet of said internal combustion engine (2) and branches at a branch point (19) into said second and third conduit portions (4,5); wherein said exhaust gas system (1) further comprises at least one valve (7) configured to deviate an exhaust gas flow coming from the engine (2) from the first conduit portion (3) into one or both of said the second and third conduit portions (4,5).

An exhaust gas purification system includes an exhaust gas capturing device and a purifying device. The exhaust gas capturing device is for receiving exhaust gas generated by an exhaust gas generating device, and includes an accommodation unit that defines a plurality of accommodation spaces which are in fluid communication with outside of the accommodation unit and which are for accommodating the exhaust gas, and a flow control unit that is operable to inject the exhaust gas into the accommodation spaces and/or block the exhaust gas from flowing out of the accommodation spaces. The purifying device is installed in the exhaust gas capturing device, and is operable to purify the exhaust gas in the accommodation spaces.

An aftertreatment system includes a first exhaust gas path, a second exhaust gas path, and a selector valve configured to divert exhaust gas between the first exhaust gas path and the second exhaust gas path based on a temperature of the exhaust gas. The aftertreatment system also includes a controller programmed to control the selector valve such that the selector valve diverts at least a portion of the exhaust gas to the first exhaust gas path when the temperature of the exhaust gas is equal to or less than a predetermined temperature threshold and the selector valve diverts the exhaust gas to the second exhaust gas path when the temperature of the exhaust gas is greater than the predetermined temperature threshold. The first exhaust gas path includes a heater configured to heat the exhaust gas received in the first exhaust gas path.

An exhaust gas control system includes an upstream purification device disposed in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine, a downstream purification device disposed in a portion of the exhaust passage downstream from the upstream purification device, a fuel addition valve disposed in a portion of the exhaust passage upstream from the upstream purification device, and a urea addition valve disposed in a portion of the exhaust passage between the upstream purification device and the downstream purification device, and a cooling device. The cooling device is configured such that refrigerant cools the fuel addition valve first and then cools the urea addition valve subsequent to the fuel addition valve.

An exhaust system includes a first exhaust after-treatment system receiving exhaust gases generated by an engine, a second exhaust after-treatment system downstream of the first exhaust after-treatment system, and at least one bypass connecting an engine outlet to an inlet to the second exhaust after-treatment system. A turbocharger is associated with the bypass and a bypass valve is located upstream of the turbocharger. The bypass valve is moveable between an open position to bypass exhaust gas flow to the first exhaust after-treatment system, a closed position to direct all exhaust gas flow to the first exhaust after-treatment system, and a partially open position where one portion of exhaust gas flow is directed into the first exhaust after-treatment system and a remaining portion of exhaust gas flow is directed into the turbocharger. A controller controls movement of the bypass valve between the open, closed, and partially open positions.

A drive system for driving a motor vehicle is provided. The drive system includes a first turbocharger, a second turbocharger, and an internal combustion engine. The first turbocharger and the second turbocharger are, for the drive of the motor vehicle, operatively connected to the internal combustion engine. The first turbocharger and the second turbocharger are, in a height direction of a crankcase of the internal combustion engine, arranged one above the other in a defined corridor adjacent to the crankcase. The invention also provides a motor vehicle including the drive system.

Methods, devices, controllers, and algorithms are described for operating an internal combustion engine wherein at least some firing opportunities utilize low temperature gasoline combustion (LTGC). Other firing opportunities may be skipped or utilize some other type of combustion, such as spark ignition. The nature of any particular firing opportunity is dynamically determined during engine operation, often on a firing opportunity by firing opportunity basis. Firings that utilize LTGC produce little, if any, nitrous oxides in the exhaust stream and thus, in some implementations, may require no aftertreatment system to remove them from the exhaust stream.

An exhaust muffler includes first and second pipes which extend through a casing, and which are disposed so that a downstream end of the first pipe faces an upstream end of the second pipe, wherein the downstream end of the first pipe and the upstream end of the second pipe are disposed so as to be spaced from each other in an axial direction, one end part of a support member having a circular cross section that has a smaller diameter than those of the first and the second pipes is fixed to one of a first lid member covering an opening at the downstream end of the first pipe and a second lid member covering an opening at the upstream end of the second pipe, and the other end part of the support member is slidably fitted to the other of the first and the second lid members.

An exhaust system for receiving exhaust gas from an engine of a vehicle includes first, second, and third exhaust components, and first and second pipes. The first and second exhaust components are each adapted to receive exhaust gas from the engine. The first pipe has a first inlet, and first and second outlets. The first inlet is adapted to receive exhaust gas from the first exhaust component. The second pipe has a second inlet, and third and fourth outlets. The second inlet is adapted to receive exhaust gas from the second exhaust component. The third exhaust component is disposed downstream of and laterally between the first and second exhaust components. The third exhaust component has third and fourth inlets, and fifth and sixth outlets. The third inlet is fluidly connected to the first outlet. The fourth inlet is fluidly connected to the third outlet.
