In one aspect, an aspiration system for a work vehicle may include an exhaust tube extending defining an exhaust passage therein. The exhaust tube may include a venturi portion, with the exhaust tube further defining an aperture within the venturi portion of the exhaust tube. The system may also include an aspiration tube configured to be coupled between the exhaust tube and a separate component of the work vehicle. The aspiration tube may define an aspiration passage extending between the separate component and the exhaust tube. The aperture defined by the exhaust tube may fluidly couple the aspiration passage and the exhaust passage. Furthermore, the system may include a restrictor body positioned within the exhaust passage. As such, the restrictor body and the venturi portion may be configured to adjust a flow parameter of exhaust gases flowing through the exhaust passage.

An air supply to an internal combustion engine which includes at least one cylinder and a heater. A first air duct is provided for supplying air to the at least one cylinder of the internal combustion engine for operating the internal combustion engine, and a second air duct is provided for supplying air to a heater for heating an exhaust system of the internal combustion engine. The first and second air ducts are connected by a third air duct to an air filter, for providing filtered ambient air to the internal combustion engine. The first and second air ducts each have at least one control element for controlling the quantity of air flowing through. The first and third air ducts in each case have a mass flow sensor for measuring a mass of the air flowing through the corresponding air duct. Methods and devices for diagnosing the air supply are also described.

A two-stage venturi cooler comprises a first tubular conduit having a longitudinal axis, the first elongate tubular conduit having an exhaust gas inlet at one end, a mixed gas outlet at an opposing end, and a cooling gas inlet, wherein structures inside the first stage define a venturi that forms a column of mixed gas, wherein the column of mixed gas comprises a ring of exhaust gas surrounding a core of cooling gas; and a second tubular conduit that is coaxial with the first tubular conduit, wherein the second tubular conduit has a mixed gas inlet at one end and a mixed gas outlet at an opposing end, and wherein the mixed gas inlet is to receive the column of mixed gas and to surround the column of mixed gas with an entrained column of ambient air.

An exhaust gas aftertreatment system includes a first decomposition chamber, a first dosing module, a first conversion catalyst member, a second decomposition chamber, a second dosing module, a second conversion catalyst member, and a third conversion catalyst member. The first decomposition chamber is configured to receive an exhaust gas. The first dosing module is coupled to the first decomposition chamber and configured to provide a first treatment fluid into the first decomposition chamber. The first conversion catalyst member is configured to receive a mixture of the first treatment fluid and the exhaust gas, from the first decomposition chamber. The second decomposition chamber is configured to receive the exhaust gas from the first conversion catalyst member. The second dosing module is coupled to the second decomposition chamber and configured to provide a second treatment fluid into the second decomposition chamber.

A proactive heating system for a vehicle, which is used to increase the temperature of an exhaust catalyst prior to ignition of an engine to reduce emissions. The proactive heating system is part of an exhaust system for a vehicle, and includes an electrically heated catalyst and an air pump, which are activated prior to engine ignition, to increase the temperature of a three-way catalyst such that the three-way catalyst is at the desired target threshold temperature, or light-off temperature, prior to engine ignition, eliminating the delay in emissions treatment after cold-start of the engine. The proactive heating system addresses the high level of untreated emissions emitted from an internal combustion engine before the catalytic emissions system reaches the light-off temperature. The proactive heating system provides heating of a catalyst to light-off temperature without combusting hydrocarbon fuel, which leads to engine out emissions.

A method and a device for operating an internal combustion engine including a first air duct for supplying air to a cylinder and a second air duct for supplying air to a heater for heating an exhaust system. The first and second air ducts each have a control element for controlling the amount of air flowing through them and a mass flow sensor for measuring the amount of air flowing through them. The first and second air ducts are connected to a common air filter, for providing filtered ambient air of the internal combustion engine. A regulation of the amount of air flowing through the first and second air ducts takes place using the measurement signals, depending on operating states of the internal combustion engine. A mutual influence of the air flowing through the first or second air duct is taken into account.
