SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RECOVERING CATALYST PERFORMANCE
A method of recovering catalyst performance includes providing a vanadium selective catalytic reduction (VSCR) catalyst. The method includes exposing the VSCR catalyst to a first humidity level in a range of 50%-100% relative humidity, at a first temperature in a range of 20° C.-100° C., for a first period of time of at least two hours. The method includes thermally treating the VSCR catalyst at a second temperature in a range of 300° C.-600° C. for a second period of time of at least than one hour.
Mixing device
A mixer assembly for mixing an injected reductant with an exhaust gas comprises a tubular housing including a reductant inlet, an exhaust gas inlet and an exhaust gas outlet. The reductant inlet is positioned on a first side of the tubular housing and oriented to direct injected reductant along an injection access that extends transversely to a longitudinal axis. A first flow guide element is shaped as a sheet including a first aperture extending therethrough as well as a surface facing upstream. Exhaust gas flowing through the first aperture is impinged by the injected redundant. A second flow guide element is shaped as a sheet, positioned downstream from the first flow guide element and fixed to the first flow guide element to define a mixing chamber between the first flow guide element and the second flow guide element in which the injected redundant and the exhaust gas mix.
EXHAUST TREATMENT DEVICE FOR DIESEL ENGINE
An exhaust treatment device for a diesel engine is provided, which includes a parked regeneration requirement notification component and a parked regeneration start operation component. A regeneration process of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) includes an automatic regeneration process and a parked regeneration process. The automatic regeneration process is automatically started when an estimation value of particulate material (PM) accumulated in the DPF reaches a predetermined automatic regeneration start determination value. The parked regeneration process is performed when first and a second conditions are satisfied. The first condition is that a parked regeneration requirement notification component performs a notification of a parked regeneration requirement when a number of cancellations of the automatic regeneration process reaches a predetermined value. The second condition is that the parked regeneration start operation component is subjected to a start operation during a parked state in which an engine equipped machine is neither traveling nor working.
Control of pre-SCR ammonia dosing based on look-ahead data
A method for controlling an exhaust gas aftertreatment system, wherein the system includes a first selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device, a catalytic particulate filter arrangement arranged downstream of the first SCR device, and a second selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device arranged downstream of the catalytic particulate filter arrangement. The method includes estimating future exhaust conditions based upon predicted vehicle operating conditions (s403); —estimating a future NOx conversion demand based on the estimated future exhaust conditions (s405); —dosing a reducing agent from a first reducing agent dosing device at a rate based at least on the estimated future NOx conversion demand (s406).
EXHAUST PURIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESTORING NOx PURIFICATION CAPACITY
An exhaust purification system includes: a NOx reduction catalyst for reducing and purifying NOx in an exhaust gas; a catalyst regeneration control module for executing a catalyst regeneration process of restoring a NOx purification capacity of the NOx reduction catalyst by switching an air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas from a lean state to a rich state by using in parallel an air system control to reduce an intake air amount and an injection system control to increase a fuel injection amount; an exhaust gas temperature sensor that is provided on a downstream side of the NOx reduction catalyst on an exhaust passageway; a catalyst temperature estimating module for estimating a catalyst temperature of the NOx reduction catalyst; a temperature sensor value estimating module for estimating a sensor value of the exhaust gas temperature sensor; and an abnormality determination module for determining on an abnormality of a catalyst regeneration process.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER REGENERATION SYSTEM
Methods and systems are provided for regeneration of a particulate filter including a filter body having a filter paper looped along a plurality of rolling guides. At least one rolling guide may be a roller heater having a motor and a heater. Activation of the roller heater based on a pressure difference across the particulate filter regenerates the particulate filter during a regeneration phase and positions a regenerated section of the filter paper for trapping soot in a subsequent soot loading phase.
Exhaust gas purification system and exhaust gas purification method
When a catalyst temperature of a catalyst device is at or below a lower limit air-fuel ratio richness control is prohibited. When a first timing, where an estimated value of a NOx storage amount has reached an enrichment start threshold value, and a second timing, based on a set interval time in an enrichment interval time map, are both satisfied, the control is started. The second timing is corrected by multiplying the set interval time by an enrichment interval correction coefficient preset based on the catalyst temperature and a storage ratio of the estimated value of the NOx storage amount to an enrichment start threshold value of the NOx storage amount. The frequency of the air-fuel ratio richness control of a catalyst device configured to recover a purification capacity of a catalyst is reduced, and the catalyst temperature is raised while preventing white smoke development and hydrocarbon slip, to thereby achieve improvement in exhaust gas composition and improvement in fuel efficiency.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MOBILE CARBON CAPTURE
A system for mobile carbon capture, preferably including a capture module, a regeneration module, and a storage module 130. The system can optionally include a thermal control module and/or a dehumidifier. A method for mobile carbon capture, preferably including adsorbing a target species, desorbing the target species, and storing the target species. The method can optionally include pre-treating input gas, offloading stored species, and/or regenerating desiccators.
REDUCING HEATING OF A PARTICULATE FILTER DURING A REGENERATION EVENT
A vehicle and method reduce heating of a particulate filter during a regeneration event in response to an accelerator pedal tip-out and particulate filter temperature exceeding or anticipated to exceed a threshold by fueling the engine to reduce oxygen in the exhaust flowing to the particulate filter. An electric machine may be operated as a generator charging a battery to compensate or offset torque produced by the fueling of the engine. The current or anticipated particulate filter temperature may be estimated by a soot combustion model for a current regeneration event and/or a future regeneration event based on soot loading of the particulate filter.

A method is disclosed for cleaning a component of an exhaust aftertreatment system located downstream of a combustion engine in an exhaust flow path delimited by an outer wall. The exhaust aftertreatment system includes a first device releasably mounted in the outer wall upstream of the component and a second device releasably mounted in the outer wall downstream of the component, each of the devices being a sensor or an injector. The method includes sealing the exhaust flow path upstream of the first device and downstream of the second device, removing at least the first and second devices, thereby providing at least two openings in the outer wall, so that a cleaning flow path is provided, and introducing cleaning fluid into at least one of the openings, so that the cleaning fluid flows across the component via the cleaning flow path.
