An exhaust gas purification system for diesel engines of utility motor vehicles, includes an oxidation catalytic converter disposed in an exhaust tract, a reducing agent dosing device having a reducing agent injection device, a reducing agent decomposition device, a soot particle separator, a reduction catalytic converter and a muffler for the exhaust gases. The oxidation catalytic converter is disposed within a minimum distance directly downstream of outlet valves of the engine and a maximum distance of 0.75 m from an exhaust collecting pipe or an outlet of a turbocharger. The reducing agent decomposition device, the soot particle separator and the reduction catalytic converter are disposed separately from the oxidation catalytic converter.

A filter (30) traps particulate matter in an exhaust gas. A filter inlet side pressure sensor (34) is provided in an inlet side of the filter (30). An EGR valve inlet side pressure sensor (22) is provided in an inlet side of an EGR valve (20). A regeneration controller (38C) determines whether or not the filter inlet side pressure sensor (34) is in failure based upon a difference between a pressure value detected by the filter inlet side pressure sensor (34) and a pressure value detected by the EGR valve inlet side pressure sensor (22). When the filter inlet side pressure sensor (34) is in failure, the regeneration controller (38C) performs control of regeneration treatment using a differential pressure calculated based upon a pressure value detected by the EGR valve inlet side pressure sensor (22) and a pressure value detected by the filter outlet side pressure sensor (35).

An exhaust after-treatment assembly for an engine system is provided. The exhaust after-treatment assembly includes a housing having an inlet port, an outlet port, a catalyst disposed within a cavity defined by the housing, and a muffler assembly disposed within the cavity downstream of the catalyst. The muffler assembly includes one or more baffle plates disposed longitudinally spaced from one another within the housing to define at least a first resonator chamber and a second resonator chamber. Each of the baffle plates defines an openings aligned to one another about a longitudinal axis of the housing. Further, a resonator tube extends through the openings of the baffle plates and includes an inlet, a perforated portion and one or more outlet ports formed in a wall of the resonator tube. The perforated portion and the outlet ports, respectively in fluid communication with the second resonator chamber and the first resonator chamber.

An ECU 10 includes a valve control unit 101 for throttling a valve opening of at least one of an intake throttle valve or an exhaust throttle valve so that an upstream temperature of a DOC reaches a predetermined temperature; and a deposition condition determination unit 105 for determining whether a deposition condition that a SOF deposition amount on the DOC exceeds a predetermined deposition amount is satisfied. The valve control unit 101 includes a throttle amount decrease control execution unit 102 for executing throttle amount decrease control to decrease a throttle amount of the valve opening when the deposition condition is satisfied to be smaller than when the deposition condition is not satisfied.

A diesel engine is provided with an exhaust after-treatment device for purifying exhaust gas. The exhaust after-treatment device comprises a DPF that collects a particulate matter included in the exhaust gas, and an SCR that reduces nitrogen oxides included in the exhaust gas through addition of urea. The DPF is arranged to extend in an engine front-rear direction, which is a direction parallel to a crankshaft (CS), while the SCR is arranged to extend in an engine width direction rearward of the DPF in the engine front-rear direction.

An aftertreatment system comprises a housing defining a first and a second internal volume fluidly isolated from each other. A first aftertreatment leg extends from the first to the second internal volume and includes an oxidation catalyst and a filter. The oxidation catalyst receives exhaust gas from an inlet conduit and the filter emits exhaust gas into the second internal volume. A second aftertreatment leg extends from the second to the first internal volume and includes at least one SCR catalyst disposed offset from the first aftertreatment leg. A decomposition tube is disposed offset from the SCR catalyst and the oxidation catalyst. The decomposition tube is configured to receive the exhaust gas from the second internal volume and communicate it to the inlet of the at least one SCR catalyst. A reductant injection inlet is defined proximate to the inlet of the decomposition tube for reductant insertion.
