A lance injector assembly for an exhaust component includes: an exhaust conduit; a shaft configured to extend into the exhaust conduit and dispense reductant from a hydraulically-actuated valve; an actuator configured to operate the hydraulically-actuated valve; and a mounting system configured to couple the actuator and the shaft to the exhaust conduit. The mounting system prevents the actuator from directly contacting the exhaust conduit.

An aftertreatment system comprises a first SCR system, a second SCR system positioned downstream of the SCR system and a reductant storage tank. At least one reductant insertion assembly is fluidly coupled to the reductant storage tank. The at least one reductant insertion assembly is also fluidly coupled to the first SCR system and the SCR system. A controller is communicatively coupled to the reductant insertion assembly. The controller is configured to instruct the reductant insertion assembly to asynchronously insert the reductant into the first SCR system and the second SCR system.

A reductant insertion system for an after treatment system configured to decompose constituents of an exhaust gas, includes: a dry reductant tank configured to contain a dry reductant; a reductant delivery line configured to operatively couple the dry reductant tank to the after treatment system for delivery of the dry reductant to the after treatment system; and a pressurized gas source configured to communicate the dry reductant to the after treatment system through the reductant delivery line using pressurized gas.

A method to reduce NOx breakthrough and NH3 slip is provided when the SCR system is increasing in temperature and/or increasing exhaust gas mass flow. The method includes the steps of monitoring states of parameters of the exhaust gas upstream of an SCR catalyst where the states of parameters include at least one of the inlet temperature or the exhaust gas mass flow; identifying one of a temperature increase or an increased exhaust gas mass flow at the SCR inlet; identifying a new lower ammonia set-point or storage concentration for the SCR; and identifying the rate of NH3 consumption. The method further includes the step of determining an “intervening phase” a small dosage of DEF is continued during the intervening phase.

The invention relates to a fluid container for a motor vehicle, having a container wall that bounds a storage volume for storing liquid with respect to an environment, a heating element that is arranged in the storage volume, and a housing, wherein the housing encloses the heating element in a liquid-tight manner with respect to the supply volume.

A mixer comprises a tubular housing defining a longitudinal axis along which exhaust gas flows. Injected reductant flows along an injection axis that extends at a non-parallel angle to the longitudinal axis. A first flow guide element extends across and blocks a portion of the tubular housing and includes a first aperture extending therethrough. The first flow guide element is positioned upstream from the reductant inlet such that exhaust gas flowing through the first aperture is impinged by the reductant. A second flow guide element is positioned downstream from the first flow guide element and fixed to the first flow guide element to define a mixing chamber in which injected reductant and exhaust gas mix. An intermediate wall is integrally formed with one of the first and second flow guide elements. The other of the first and second flow guide elements is fixed to the intermediate wall.

The invention relates to a mixer for an exhaust gas system for mixing an additive into an exhaust gas flow of an internal combustion engine, having a first shell and at least a second shell which are arranged successively in the circumferential direction in relation to a center axis, each shell having at least two shell edges that are arranged offset in the circumferential direction and which each form a flow edge, wherein the flow edges of two circumferentially adjacent shell edges of two different shells delimit an inflow opening, such that at least one pipe end arranged coaxially with the center axis is provided with a circumferential pipe profile that has a nominal radius Rn and is used for connection to an exhaust pipe, the pipe end being formed by the circumferentially adjacent shells.

A method for controlling a reductant generation device 100, the reductant generation device 100 including: a sprayer 10 capable of spraying a reductant precursor 50; and a heater 20 comprising a ceramic substrate 21, the heater 20 being arranged on a downstream side of the sprayer 10 and capable of heating the reductant precursor 50 to generate a reductant 60. The method includes: a permeation step of spraying the reductant precursor 50 from the sprayer 10 and permeating the ceramic substrate 21 with the reductant precursor 50 when the heater is not heated; and after the permeation step, a heating step A of heating the reductant precursor 50 by the heater 20 and generating the reductant 60 while spraying the reductant precursor 50 from the sprayer 10.

A reductant delivery system includes an inlet body, an outlet body, and an outer transfer tube. The inlet body includes an inlet body coupler, an inlet body outer transfer shell, and an inlet body inner shell. The inlet body coupler surrounds an inlet body inlet that is configured to receive exhaust gas. The inlet body outer transfer shell is coupled to the inlet body coupler. The inlet body outer transfer shell includes an inlet body outer transfer shell inner surface and an inlet body outer transfer shell outlet. The inlet body outer transfer shell outlet extends through the inlet body outer transfer shell inner surface. The inlet body inner shell includes an inlet body inner shell first flange, an inlet body inner shell second flange, and an inlet body inner shell wall. The inlet body inner shell first flange is coupled to the inlet body outer transfer shell inner surface.

An exhaust aftertreatment unit for cleaning exhaust gases includes an emission reducing module being a diesel particulate filter, DPF, and/or a diesel oxidation catalyst, DOC, a selective catalyst reduction, SCR, catalyst, an electrical heating element arranged upstream of the emission reducing module, a casing housing at least the emission reducing module and the electrical heating element, and a service lid removably arranged to cover a service opening of the casing through which the emission reducing module may be accessed. The electrical heating element is removably arranged relative the casing and is arranged accessible upon removal of the service lid and the emission reducing module.
