A Hybrid Electric Vehicle comprising a heat transfer medium, transfers heat generated by an electric motor to a fuel, increasing fuel evaporation and cooling the motor. This configuration allows the use of multiple fuels and fuel blends including hydrogen, liquefied natural gas, natural gas liquids and heavier hydrocarbons in varying proportions while allowing higher efficiency and lower emissions due to the hybrid configuration, and efficient cooling.

A CO sensor module includes a housing, a CO sensor, and a module battery. The housing has a first portion that is configured to be removably inserted into a compartment of a generator and a second portion that is configured to be positioned outside of the compartment. The CO sensor is positioned within the first portion of the housing and is configured to detect concentrations of CO. The module battery is positioned within the housing and is configured to power the CO sensor module. The second portion of the housing includes a mounting ring that is configured to abut a control panel of the generator in an installed position.

A method for controlling an internal combustion engine system including a particulate filter includes receiving a desired output for an internal combustion engine and receiving sensor information including information indicative of a quantity of soot in the particulate filter. The method includes calculating a plurality of sets of engine performance values based on respective sets of candidate control points, each set of engine performance values including a soot change rate at which the quantity of soot changes over time and determining whether the soot change rate satisfies a soot change rate limit that requires an increase in the quantity of soot in the particulate filter. The method also includes controlling the internal combustion engine based on a set of candidate control points that satisfies the soot change rate limit.

A transport refrigeration unit (TRU) is provided and includes a power generation unit, a catalytic element, a tubular element fluidly interposed between the power generation unit and the catalytic element and a control System. The control System is disposed and configured to control operations of the power generation unit in accordance with readings of sensed characteristics of fluid flows between the power generation unit and the catalytic element.

A portable generator includes a CO sensor module to sense CO levels in the environment surrounding the portable generator. The CO sensor module senses high levels of CO and sends a signal to shut down the engine on the portable generator. The CO sensor module alerts the user by emitting an LED light whether the CO sensor module is functioning properly, improperly or if high CO levels are detected. The CO sensor module is removable from a control panel of the portable generator to be replaced or maintained by the user per a replacement or maintenance schedule.

In order to separately evaluate an influence degree of fuel and an influence degree of lubricating oil with respect to particulate matters contained in exhaust gas, an exhaust gas analysis method includes: analyzing particulate matters contained in the exhaust gas exhausted from an engine, thereby making it possible to analyze the particulate matters derived from the lubricating oil by using isooctane as a fuel.

During a hybrid drive, a hybrid vehicle sets an engine required power based on a driving required power and controls an engine to output the engine required power, while controlling a motor to drive the hybrid vehicle with the driving required power. When a catalyst temperature of an exhaust emission control device is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature that requires warming up, in the state that an output upper limit power which a power storage device is allowed to output is equal to or larger than a predetermined power, the hybrid vehicle sets a power calculated by subtracting the output upper limit power from the driving required power, to the engine required power. In the state that the output upper limit power is smaller than the predetermined power, the hybrid vehicle sets the driving required power to the engine required power.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for emissions control. An emissions monitor module measures at least one pollutant level for an exhaust gas flow produced by a combustion source and treated by a pollution control device. The at least one pollutant level may be controllable based on at least one combustion source operating parameter and at least one pollution control device operating parameter. A control module controls the at least one combustion source operating parameter and the at least one pollution control device operating parameter based on the at least one measured pollutant level.

Methods and systems are provided for catalyst control. In one example, a method may modulate a downstream catalyst by applying a square waveform to an outer feedback control loop. A fuel adjustment is performed in accordance with the square waveform to create an air-fuel ratio oscillation at an upstream catalyst brick and at a downstream catalyst brick.
