An inline reductant filter assembly includes a filter housing, a filter media, and one or more valves. The filter housing is fluidly coupled to an upstream portion of a reductant line and a downstream portion of the reductant line. The filter media is positioned in the filter housing. The one or more valves are selectively movable from a first position to a second position. In the first position, the one or more valves permit fluid to flow along a first fluid flow path from the upstream portion of the reductant line, through the filter media, to the downstream portion of the reductant line. In the second position, the one or more valves prevent fluid from flowing along the first fluid flow path through the filter media.

An apparatus for controlling exhaust gas purification may include a front unit communicating with an engine exhaust pipe and having a first catalytic filter; a rear unit communicating with the front unit through a connection pipe and having a second catalytic filter and a bypass channel formed to surround the second catalytic filter; and an actuator to open or close the bypass channel. In particular, one end of the bypass channel is opened or closed and other end thereof is sealed so that the second catalytic filter is heated by a primary filtered exhaust gas filtered by and discharged from the front unit.

The disclosure relates to an exhaust gas conduction system for a gasoline engine, comprising an exhaust gas line which can be connected to an exhaust manifold of the gasoline engine, an intake line which can be connected to an intake manifold of the gasoline engine, a charge air compressor which is arranged in the intake line, and a turbine which is arranged in the exhaust gas line. The exhaust gas line has at least one bypass line with a bypass throttle valve, said line branching off from the exhaust gas line upstream of the turbine and branching back into the exhaust gas line at an opening downstream of the turbine. At least one exhaust gas recirculation line with an EGR throttle valve is provided, said line opening into the intake line, wherein the exhaust gas recirculation line branches off from the bypass line at a branch, and the bypass throttle valve is arranged upstream of the branch of the exhaust gas recirculation line. At least one particle filter is arranged in the bypass line downstream of the branch of the exhaust gas recirculation line, and an exhaust gas valve is provided in the exhaust gas line upstream of the opening of the bypass line.

Methods and systems are provided for adjusting amount of directly injected fuel scavenged via a second exhaust manifold of a split exhaust engine system. In one example, a method may include adjusting a start of injection of a fuel direct injection into an engine cylinder, the cylinder including a first exhaust valve coupled to a first exhaust manifold and a second exhaust valve coupled to a second exhaust manifold, the second exhaust manifold coupled to an intake of the engine, based on a closing timing of the second exhaust valve and dependent on an operating condition, and adjusting a position of a bypass valve of the second exhaust manifold based on the adjusted start of injection. In this way, the amount of scavenged fuel may be increased or decreased based on the operating condition.

An exhaust tailpipe/emissions filter employs a reusable/replaceable insert and is configured to slide into and/or onto the exhaust tailpipe of an automobile to reduce air pollution.

A rich-wait-time threshold value is set based on the NOx discharge amount per unit time discharged from an internal combustion engine. When the elapsed time, i.e. either the elapsed engine operation time since rich control was performed on a lean NOx trap catalyst device, or the elapsed engine operation time since the engine was started, becomes equal to or greater than the rich-wait-time threshold value, a determination that the rich control be started is added as a necessary condition for starting the rich control. Accordingly, an exhaust gas purification system for an internal combustion engine, an internal combustion engine, and an exhaust gas purification method for an internal combustion engine are provided, with which the execution timing of the rich control for recovering the NOx occlusion capacity of the lean NOx trap catalyst device is rendered more appropriate, and thus NOx reduction is performed with little fuel consumption deterioration.
