Compact selective catalytic reduction system
A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system for treating exhaust gas from a diesel engine is provided, along with a method of assembling such a system. The system comprises a frame, a SCR catalyst contained within a SCR canister, and an ammonia oxidation catalyst contained within an ammonia oxidation canister. Each of the SCR and ammonia oxidation canisters is removably attached to the frame.
Method and apparatus for a selective catalytic reduction system
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems are known and are generally included in the exhaust systems of diesel engines in order to treat the exhaust gases of such engines. Such systems typically involve the introduction of a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) into exhaust gas flowing in an exhaust passage of an engine. DEF dosing systems are limited by the amounts of DEF that can be delivered without deposits forming on surfaces of the aftertreatment system. An impaction device is dosed with DEF at a first rate based on a set of characteristics of the SCR system. A second set of characteristics, such as an available storage capacity for DEF, is determined based on a set of criteria, such as a decomposition rate of DEF. Based on the second set of characteristics, the DEF dosing rate is changed to a second rate. The dosing rate is reverted to the first rate after a second set of criteria, e.g. a lower threshold of available storage for DEF, are fulfilled.
Selective catalytic reduction system
A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system is provided for treating exhaust gas in an exhaust passage. The system comprises a hydrolysis catalyst located in the exhaust passage, and a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) dosing unit configured to inject DEF onto the hydrolysis catalyst. A SCR catalyst is located in the passage downstream of the hydrolysis catalyst, and a controller controls DEF dosing by the dosing unit. The controller is configured to control the DEF dosing unit such that the DEF is injected at a modulated frequency of less than or equal to 1 Hertz. A method of treating exhaust gas in an exhaust passage using an SCR system is also provided.
DECOMPOSITION CHAMBER
A decomposition chamber for an exhaust gas aftertreatment system includes an inlet tube, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst member, a mixing collector wall, a distribution cap, and a dividing tube. The inlet tube is configured to receive exhaust gas. The mixing collector wall includes a mixing assembly flow aperture. The distribution cap is coupled to the inlet tube and configured to receive the exhaust gas from the inlet tube. The dividing tube is coupled to the mixing collector wall. The dividing tube separates the distribution cap from the mixing assembly flow aperture. The dividing tube includes a first dividing tube inlet aperture that is configured to receive the exhaust gas from the distribution cap. The dividing tube outlet aperture is configured to provide the exhaust gas to the mixing assembly flow aperture.
