Tractor reductant tank configuration
A tractor including: a traveling body having an engine; a post-processing device configured to purify exhaust gas of the engine; and a reductant tank configured to store a reductant to be supplied to the post-processing device. A pair of left and right fuel tanks are arranged respectively on left and right sides of a longitudinally midway portion of the traveling body. A tank-accommodation recess for accommodating a reductant tank is formed at a lower-front portion of one of the left and right fuel tanks. While the reductant tank is accommodated in the tank-accommodation recess, an upper front portion of the fuel tank and the reductant tank are aligned up and down.
Emissions control device comprising a threaded disassembling element
The invention relates to an emissions control device for a combustion engine aftertreatment arrangement, the emissions control device comprising: a housing configured for accommodating an emissions control substrate; and at least one first opening in the housing, which at least one first opening is configured for receiving a threaded assembling element, which threaded assembling element is configured for assembly of the emissions control device in a cavity of the aftertreatment arrangement. The emissions control device further comprises at least one second opening in the housing, wherein the at least one second opening is provided with a thread, configured for receiving a threaded disassembling element, which threaded disassembling element is configured for disassembly of the emissions control device from the cavity of the aftertreatment arrangement. The invention further relates to a combustion engine aftertreatment arrangement for a vehicle and a method for disassembling an emissions control device.
Exhaust aftertreatment system universal joint flex pipe assembly
The present disclosure is directed to a flexible pipe assembly that includes a pipe, a sleeve, a first connection assembly, and a second connection assembly. The pipe of the flexible pipe assembly includes a first end portion that is coupled to an external vertical exhaust pipe that allows exhaust to escape from a truck and a second end portion that is coupled to a pipe to an outlet of an exhaust aftertreatment system (EAS). The pipe also includes a third portion, which is a bellows, coupling the first end portion to the second end portion of the pipe of the flexible pipe assembly. The first and second connection assemblies couple the sleeve to the pipe of the flexible pipe assembly by passing through holes in the sleeve and the pipe of the flexible pipe assembly.
After treatment system for a vehicle
An after treatment system (ATS) for a vehicle includes, fluidly connected in series, an inlet, a urea mixer and an outlet. The inlet is fluidly connected to an output of an engine of the vehicle and the outlet is fluidly connected to an outlet tube of the vehicle. The urea mixer is provided with a dosing module, an inner element and an outer element. The inner element is configured such that a first flow of exhaust gas flow flowing from the inlet into the urea mixer flows into an first volume defined by the inner element. The outer element is configured such that a second flow flows in a volume defined between inner element and outer element, wherein the first and second flows rejoin together in a mixing chamber fluidly connected to the volume and to the first volume downstream with respect inner and outer elements.
Near-zero emitting diesel-electric locomotive using a high-speed diesel engine
A diesel-electric locomotive includes a diesel emissions reduction unit, including an inlet configured to receive an exhaust stream of a high-speed diesel engine; means for trapping at least a portion of diesel particulate matter contained in the exhaust stream; an aqueous NH.sub.3 dosing system including a dosing controller in communication with an electronic locomotive controller and a nitrogen oxide (“NO.sub.x”) concentration sensor and an ammonia (“NH.sub.3”) concentration sensor, at least one oxidation catalyst panel arranged to isolate the NO.sub.x concentration sensor from NH.sub.3 in the exhaust stream; mixing elements located between the dosing system and the NO.sub.x and NH.sub.3 concentration sensors to mix metered aqueous NH.sub.3 in the exhaust stream; a selective catalyst reactor bed located between the mixing elements and the NO.sub.x and NH.sub.3 concentration sensors; and an exhaust heating system in communication with at least one of the dosing and electronic locomotive controllers.
Onboard HHO Gas Generation System for Heavy Duty Trucks
A dual-chamber onboard electrolysis system is configured to produce HHO gas for heavy duty trucking applications.
ENGINE CONTROLS FOR EXHAUST AFTERTREATMENT THERMAL MANAGEMENT
A method includes operating an engine system including a plurality of cylinders, a plurality of fuel injectors configured to provide fuel the plurality of cylinders, a compression braking system configured to selectably brake at least a first set of the plurality of cylinders, and an exhaust aftertreatment system including at least one catalyst. The method includes determining a condition for brake-fuel operation and, in response to the act of determining, operating the engine in a brake-fuel mode wherein the compression brake is actuated to provide compression braking of the first set of the plurality of cylinders and a second set of the plurality of cylinders receives and combust fuel provided from respective ones of the plurality of fuel injectors.
EXHAUST-GAS TREATMENT MODULE
An exhaust-gas treatment module for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine has a plurality of elements which follow one another in an exhaust-gas flow direction. The elements include a first mixing path with a first reactant dispensing arrangement in an upstream end region of the first mixing path and with a first mixing channel which is elongate in the direction of a first mixing path longitudinal axis. A first exhaust-gas treatment arrangement follows and is elongate in the direction of a first exhaust-gas treatment arrangement longitudinal axis and has an upstream end region connected to a downstream end region of the first mixing path, a second mixing path with a second reactant dispensing arrangement in an upstream end region which is connected to a downstream end region of the first exhaust-gas treatment arrangement.
EXHAUST ASSEMBLY FOR A UTILITY VEHICLE
A utility vehicle includes an exhaust assembly fluidly coupled to an engine. Depending on various parameters, such as the size and/or performance of the vehicle, the exhaust assembly is required to meet certain emissions regulations. Such emissions regulations may be met by increasing the temperature within the exhaust assembly, however, at particularly high temperatures, a catalyst of the exhaust assembly may be damaged. Therefore, the exhaust assembly includes various options for cooling portions thereof to remove heat from the assembly.
TRACTOR
A tractor including: a traveling body having an engine; a post-processing device configured to purify exhaust gas of the engine; and a reductant tank configured to store a reductant to be supplied to the post-processing device. A pair of left and right fuel tanks are arranged respectively on left and right sides of a longitudinally midway portion of the traveling body. A tank-accommodation recess for accommodating a reductant tank is formed at a lower-front portion of one of the left and right fuel tanks. While the reductant tank is accommodated in the tank-accommodation recess, an upper front portion of the fuel tank and the reductant tank are aligned up and down.
