AUTONOMOUS AUXILIARY DEF SUPPLY SYSTEM WITH PURGE CONTROL
20230212974 · 2023-07-06 · ·

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.

AUTOMATIC DEF TANK FILLING SYSTEM
20220356827 · 2022-11-10 ·

A fluid filling system for filling a tank from a source of fluid. The system is particularly beneficial for filling a DEF tank. The system has a pump connected to a fluid source, such as DEF. A fill hose has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is connected to the pump. The distal end includes at least one first sensor mounted adjacent the distal end. The distal end is adapted for insertion into the tank. A CPU is operatively connected to the first sensor and the pump. The first sensor communicates with the CPU to energize the pump when the sensor fails to sense fluid when the fill hose is inserted into the tank. The CPU deenergizes the pump when the first sensor senses fluid when inserted into the tank. As a result, the fluid filling system continually fills the container through the fill hose.

FILTER ARRANGEMENT FOR A SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION SYSTEM

The present disclosure is directed towards a filter arrangement for a reductant supply system of a selective catalytic reduction system. The reductant supply system comprises a tank and a suction tube mounted at least partially in the tank for receiving reductant liquid from the tank. The filter arrangement comprises a restraining body, a filter at least partially forming a filter chamber, a filter outlet from the filter chamber formed through the restraining body and/or filter and a filter mount mounted to the restraining body and/or filter. The restraining body extends radially outwardly from the filter mount and is configured to restrain the filter such that, under the effect of buoyancy in the tank in use, gas in the filter chamber is directed towards the filter outlet.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOVING RESIDUAL REDUCTANT

A system for removing residual reductant from at least one component of a reductant dosing system associated with an aftertreatment system includes a first container disposed in fluid communication with the reductant dosing system. The system also includes a first conduit for providing fluid communication between the first container and the reductant dosing system. Based on a generation of a vacuum within the first container, the first conduit is operative to remove the residual reductant from the at least one component of the reductant dosing system and introduce the residual reductant into the first container.
