SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING ENGINE-AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEM OPERATION
Systems and methods for controlling a performance variable of an engine system are provided. An apparatus includes a response model circuit structured to apply a constraint to a response model that represents a relationship regarding a manipulated variable or a relationship between the performance variable and the manipulated variable. The apparatus further includes an optimization circuit structured to determine a target for the manipulated variable via the response model such that the target of the manipulated variable satisfies the constraint of the response model. The performance variable is indicative of performance of operation of the engine system and the manipulated variable is capable of affecting the performance variable. Operation of the engine system is adjusted based upon the target of the manipulated variable by controlling at least one of a fuel system or an air handling system of the engine system.
Closed control loop with ammonia slip and NOx sensor feedback for use in selective catalytic reduction system
A selective catalytic reduction system control system (10) and method of its use include an ammonia (“NH.sub.3”) slip sensor (13) located within an interior space (27) of an exhaust stack (15) of a selective catalytic reactor (31), toward an inlet end (25) of the stack (15); a housing (17) located within the interior space of the exhaust stack; the housing including face panels 19; a nitrogen oxides (“NOx”) sensor (11) contained within an interior space (29) defined by the face panels of the housing, at least two of the face panels (19.sub.I, 19.sub.O) containing an oxidation catalyst; and a dosing controller (59) in communication with the NH.sub.3 and NOx sensors, the dosing controller including a microprocessor with dosing logic embedded thereon. The housing with oxidation catalyst acts as a linear box, isolating the NOx sensor from NH.sub.3 slip, linearizing the NOx sensor signal.

Inferential flow sensor
A system and an approach for determining various flows in an internal combustion engine, such as an amount of recirculation exhaust gas flow through a controlled valve and a fresh air mass flow to an intake of an engine. Also, among the sensors accommodated in the system, is an inexpensive but slow-responding lambda sensor in the exhaust stream.
Co clean-up catalyst, after treatment system and after treatment method
An after treatment method is disclosed. The after treatment method may include: operating an engine at a lean air/fuel ratio; calculating an amount of NH.sub.3 stored in an SCR catalyst; calculating an amount of NOx which will flow into the SCR catalyst; determining whether conversion to a rich air/fuel ratio is desired; calculating, when the conversion to the rich air/fuel ratio is desired, a rich duration for which the rich air/fuel ratio is maintained and a target air/fuel ratio; and operating the engine at the target air/fuel ratio for the rich duration.
FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR ECO-FRIENDLY SHIP
The present invention provides a fuel supply system, for an eco-friendly ship, which selectively uses an existing fuel and an ammonia fuel or uses a mixture thereof as a fuel for a propulsion engine and a power generation engine of a ship so as to follow ship greenhouse gas regulations to be reinforced in phases at major points until 2050.
Engine emission prediction system
Approaches for predicting parameters contributing to engine emissions are described. In an example, the values of control parameters may be obtained from the vehicle sensors. Based on the obtained values of the control parameters, estimated emission value may be determined pertaining to a correlation criterion reflecting a predetermined relationship between the obtained control parameter and engine emission. Further, the contribution index of each of the individual control parameters may be identified. Further, based on the estimated emission value and the contribution index, aggregated emission value corresponding to the exhausted emission from the engine for particular trip may be calculated.

System, apparatus, and method for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) dosing
Systems, apparatuses, assemblies, and methods for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) dosing can include a body defining an injector adaptor inlet and an injector adaptor outlet; and an injector mount or interface extending from the body. The injector mount can be between the first and second ends of the injector adaptor. The injector adaptor outlet can define an area greater than an area of the injector adaptor inlet. In a side view of the injector adaptor, at a bottom side of the body, a first straight line can extend along the body from the injector adaptor inlet to the injector adaptor outlet, and at a top side of the body opposite the bottom side, a second straight line can extend along the body from the injector adaptor inlet to the injector adaptor outlet. The second straight line can be at an acute angle relative to the first straight line.
