Article of Manufacture for Securing a Catalyst Substrate

An aftertreatment component for use in an exhaust aftertreatment system. The aftertreatment component comprises an aftertreatment substrate and a compressible material. The compressible material may be formed from a plastic thermoset, a rubberized material, or a metal foil which permits for the selective expansion of the substrate within the compressible material, while also reducing cost and manufacturing complexity. In various embodiments, the aftertreatment substrate and the compressible materials may be formed separately and coupled to each other, or they may be formed concurrently via coextrusion.

Exhaust gas processing device

In an exhaust gas processing device, an air-fuel ratio sensor is provided such that a measuring portion is located in a region surrounded by a downstream-side end surface of a TWC, an upstream-side end surface of a GPF, and an inner wall surface of a case against which the exhaust gas G that has passed through the TWC flows, that is the region a region on the GPF side of the center of the TWC.

Systems and methods for dynamic control of filtration efficiency and fuel economy

A filtration assembly for removing particulate matter from exhaust gas produced by an engine, including: a first filter; a second filter positioned downstream of the first filter; and a valve including: a first ring defining a plurality of first openings, and a second ring defining a plurality of second openings, the second ring abutting the first ring. The valve is moveable between a closed position in which the plurality of first openings are misaligned with the plurality of second openings to prevent a fluid from flowing through the plurality of first and second openings, and an open position in which the second ring is rotated relative to the first ring such that the plurality of first openings are aligned with the plurality of second openings allowing the fluid to flow therethrough. A first end of the valve is positioned at an outlet of the first filter, and a second end of the valve is positioned at an inlet of the second filter. In the closed position of the valve, substantially all of the exhaust gas flows through the second filter, and in the open position of the valve, at least a portion of the exhaust gas flows through the valve and bypasses the second filter.

Turbocharged engine arrangement

An engine is provided with an engine body, a crankshaft, a cooling fan, an exhaust manifold, a supercharger, an ATD that purifies exhaust gas, and a second exhaust pipe. When the height direction of the engine is defined as a first direction, the crankshaft extends in a second direction vertical to the first direction. The cooling fan is disposed on one side of the engine body in the second direction. The supercharger is driven by the exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold. The second exhaust pipe connects the supercharger and the ATD. The ATD is disposed in an attitude in which the longitudinal direction thereof is parallel to the second direction. The second exhaust pipe is connected to the cooling fan side of the ATD in the second direction. The second exhaust pipe is disposed so as to pass laterally with respect to the exhaust manifold and below the supercharger.
