Tank for a liquid solution based on water and urea which is suitable for being combined with a selective catalytic reduction system. The tank comprises: a container including an upper wall; a filling pipe union which is positioned on the upper wall of the container and which is suitable for introducing the liquid solution; a lower opening, from which the liquid solution being introduced passes into the container and which protrudes with respect to the upper wall towards the interior of the container; a closure float which is positioned in the container and which is connected to the lower opening and which is configured so as to raise and close the lower opening once the liquid solution in the container reaches a predetermined level.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a diesel exhaust fluid tank for a vehicle. An exemplary diesel exhaust fluid tank includes a tank body to store diesel exhaust fluid, a tank supply line to deliver the diesel exhaust fluid to a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) device, and a tank siphon line to drain the diesel exhaust fluid from the tank body. The tank siphon line is mounted to the tank body and includes a siphon inlet (e.g., devoid of a filter) at or proximate to a bottom wall of the tank body. The integrated tank siphon line avoids any need to remove tank components to feed a siphon tube into a tank. Further, the tank siphon line leverages preexisting components in the diesel exhaust fluid tank and/or the vehicle to siphon diesel exhaust fluid as needed.

A lance injector assembly for an exhaust component includes: a shaft configured to extend into an exhaust conduit of the exhaust component, the shaft being hollow so as to define a channel therethrough, wherein an opening is defined in a wall of the shaft proximate to a second end of the shaft that is opposite the first end; a cap coupled to a first end of the shaft; and a supply line disposed within the channel defined by the shaft, wherein a nozzle is disposed at a downstream end of the supply line, the nozzle being fluidly coupled to the shaft around the opening such that reductant is able to flow from the nozzle through the opening and into an exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust conduit. Air is present in the space between the supply line and the wall of the shaft, the air inhibiting heat transfer to the supply line.

A lance injector assembly for an exhaust component is provided. The lance injector assembly includes a lance and a poppet valve. The lance includes a lance housing, a supply passage fluidly coupled to a reductant source and terminating at a nozzle orifice, and a return passage fluidly coupled to the reductant source. The poppet valve is positioned downstream of the nozzle orifice and includes a poppet movable between a closed position and an open position. When operating in a recirculation mode, the poppet is in the closed position to permit a full portion of reductant supplied to the lance from the reductant source to return to the reductant source. When operating in an injection mode, the poppet is in the open position to permit a first portion of reductant to flow from the nozzle orifice and a second portion of reductant to return to the reductant source.

A fluid injector for injecting an injection fluid into a hot flow can include a flow structure defining an injection flow channel and configured to extend at least partially into a flow path to introduce the injection fluid into the hot flow in the flow path. The flow structure can include one or more heat resistance features to protect the flow structure and the fluid from heat of the hot flow.

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 reductant storage tank and a SCR system including a catalyst for reducing constituents of an exhaust gas. A reductant insertion assembly is fluidly coupled to the reductant storage tank and the SCR system. A controller is communicatively coupled to the reductant insertion assembly. The controller is configured to: determine an initial pressure of the reductant, determine a first pressure at which the reductant is to be delivered to the selective catalytic reduction system and adjust an operating parameter of the reductant insertion assembly. The adjustment of the operating parameter results in an at least selective delivery of the reductant at the first pressure to the SCR system.

A reagent dosing system includes an injector having an outlet configured to be in fluid communication with the exhaust conduit; a reagent tank configured to hold a volume of reagent; a water tank configured to hold a volume of water; and a means for 1) pumping reagent from the reagent tank to the injector for injection of reagent into the exhaust conduit and 2) pumping water from the water tank to the injector for flushing residual reagent from the injector.

A lance injector assembly for an exhaust component includes: a shaft configured to extend into an exhaust conduit of the exhaust component, the shaft being hollow so as to define a channel therethrough, wherein an opening is defined in a wall of the shaft proximate to a second end of the shaft that is opposite the first end; a cap coupled to a first end of the shaft; and a supply line disposed within the channel defined by the shaft, wherein a nozzle is disposed at a downstream end of the supply line, the nozzle being fluidly coupled to the shaft around the opening such that reductant is able to flow from the nozzle through the opening and into an exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust conduit. Air is present in the space between the supply line and the wall of the shaft, the air inhibiting heat transfer to the supply line.
