Filtration assembly for use in aftertreatment systems for internal combustion engines
A filtration assembly structured to filter reductant includes an outer housing and an inner housing. The inner housing is positioned within the outer housing. The inner housing is structured to contain the reductant and operable between a first state in which the inner housing has a first volume and a second state in which the inner housing has a second volume that is larger than the first volume, the inner housing including an end face. The inner housing is separated from the outer housing by a gap when the inner housing is in the first state. A volume of the gap decreases as the inner housing transitions from the first state to the second state and increases as the inner housing transitions from the second state to the first state.

COMMON RAIL, APPLICATION OF THE COMMON RAIL, CARBAMIDE SPRAYING SYSTEM, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
A common rail comprises a shell and a pressure detection apparatus and a pressure adjustment apparatus that are installed on the shell. The shell comprises an inlet passage, an outlet passage, at least one conveyance port that is connected to the inlet passage, and at least one flow return port that is connected to the outlet passage. The pressure detection apparatus is connected to the inlet passage. The pressure adjustment apparatus is connected between the inlet passage and the outlet passage. The pressure adjustment apparatus can connect or disconnect the inlet passage and the outlet passage. Also disclosed is a carbamide spraying system having such a common rail. Because a carbamide solution returned from a nozzle is first gathered inside the common rail and then returns to a carbamide tank through the outlet passage and a return flow pipe, the length of the return flow pipe is reduced. Further disclosed are an application of a common rail in a diesel engine exhaust processing system, a carbamide spraying system, and a control method for a carbamide spraying system.
