The present application provides a reductant dosing system for an SCR catalyst comprising an injector, a storage tank and a reductant pump arranged in a first fluid line between the storage tank and the injector for pumping reductant from the storage tank to the injector. The reductant dosing system comprises pressurizing means for pressurizing the storage tank.

An auxiliary system with purge control automatically supplies diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to an onboard DEF tank of a diesel engine to enable prolonged unattended operation. The system includes an auxiliary DEF tank, an auxiliary DEF supply line, a controller, a pump, an air inlet, and a three-way valve configured to switch the pump inlet between the auxiliary DEF tank and air. In response to low-level DEF, the pump delivers DEF through the supply line to replenish the onboard DEF tank. The controller may automatically calculate onboard DEF tank volume based on the delivered volume of DEF, and DEF level data received from an ECM, to enable replenishment control regardless of engine make and model. In response to high-level DEF, engine stoppage, or other system fault, the controller switches the valve to air and runs the pump for a predetermined time to purge DEF from the supply line. The auxiliary system may be skid-mounted, portable, and configured to supply DEF to multiple diesel engines.

A reducing agent supply device includes a tank, an adding valve, a pump, and an electronic control unit. The adding valve is configured to receive the reducing agent supplied from the tank and inject the reducing agent. The pump is configured to send the reducing agent from the tank and suction the reducing agent back into the tank. The electronic control unit is configured to open the adding valve and suction the reducing agent back into the tank as a purge control when the internal combustion engine is commanded to stop. The electronic control unit is configured to increase an amount of a return suction of the reducing agent during the purge control as an amount of the reducing agent, remaining in a supply path and the adding valve when the stop command is given, increases.

A side feed inlet port for an injector, which makes use of stamped parts to form a compact, high strength three-piece inlet port at a significantly reduced cost. By using an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve, injector sealing is accomplished using the interior sleeve, creating a sealing point, while allowing for inlet conduit attachment to the outer sleeve at, above, or below the sealing point of the DEF injector. The construction of the inlet port is such that there is proper sealing between the inner sleeve and one or more seals, while allowing for the connection between the inlet conduit and the outer sleeve to reduce the overall height of the inlet port, and therefore, the injector. The position of the inlet conduit may be altered without affecting the sealing connection between the inner sleeve and the seal(s), such that the desirable overall height may be achieved.

Disclosed is a method for preventing a risk of freezing in a device for supplying reducing agent to a selective catalytic reduction system in an exhaust line, a freezing temperature specific to the agent being stored in memory, the system including a controller operating the system and emitting pulses to an injector, the controller being inactive when the engine is switched off. With the combustion engine switched off, the controller is woken up at predetermined intervals to initiate an emission of a specific electric pulse to the injector with measurements of a current-strength and voltage of the electric pulse providing a value of the electrical resistance of the injector. A temperature of the reducing agent at the injector is estimated as a function of the measured resistance and, when at least the temperature thus estimated is below the freezing temperature, a purge of the device is initiated.
