SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR REPLACING A CORE OF DIESEL EMISSION CONTROL DEVICE
A system for removing an existing core from a diesel emission control device (DECD) housing and a system for installing a replacement core into the DECD housing. The system for removing the existing core comprising a core press station, a control station, and a decore shaft. The system for installing the replacement core comprising a core press station, a control station, and a recore shaft. A stuffing funnel and spacer may be used to install the replacement core. In certain embodiments, processes for removing the existing core and installing the replacement core may comprise the steps of pressing the existing core out of the DECD housing, collecting the existing core into a collection container, sealing the collection container, wrapping the replacement core with matting, lubricating the matting, and pressing together the replacement core and the existing DECD housing.
AUTONOMOUS AUXILIARY DEF SUPPLY SYSTEM WITH PURGE CONTROL
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.

Exhaust gas treatment assembly unit
An exhaust gas treatment assembly unit for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a tubular outer housing (12) elongated in a direction of an outer housing longitudinal axis (L.sub.A), a tubular inner housing (14) elongated in the direction of an inner housing longitudinal axis (L.sub.I), an exhaust gas treatment unit (16) being carried in the inner housing (14), and a locking fixing device (24) detachably fixing the inner housing in the outer housing. The locking fixing device (24) includes a locking fixing element (26) held at the inner housing (14) in both axial directions with a radially outwards prestressed locking meshing area (28). In association with the locking meshing area (28), a locking receiving area (42) at the outer housing (12), interacts with the locking meshing area (28) for holding the inner housing (14) in the outer housing (12) in at least one axial direction.
Integral flow structure within a containment cover
A filtration assembly includes a housing. The housing includes a first housing for fluid and a second housing opening for fluid. A containment cover is removably coupled to the housing. The containment cover defines a cover opening, a cover surface, and a flow passage. The cover opening is in fluid communication with the housing. The cover surface is substantially continuous around a circumference of the containment cover. The cover surface includes an open portion in fluid communication with the second housing opening. The flow passage is formed by a first passage surface and a second passage surface. The flow passage includes a first end in fluid communication with the cover opening. A second end is in fluid communication with the second housing opening through the open portion of the cover surface. The flow passage extends radially outward from the cover opening.
After treatment system for a vehicle
An after treatment system (ATS) for a vehicle having an ATS module includes, fluidly connected in series, an inlet, a Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC), a urea mixer and a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), and an outlet. The inlet is fluidly connected to an output of an engine of the vehicle and the outlet is fluidly connected to an outlet tube of the vehicle. The inlet, DOC, mixer, SCR and outlet are arranged to define a substantial rectangular path of a flow (F) of exhaust gases flowing in the ATS, with the inlet and the outlet being positioned at a same vertex of the substantial rectangular path of the flow (F).
EXHAUST FILTER SYSTEM FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES AND METHOD OF USING SAME
A device that filters particulate matter from the exhaust stream of an engine includes a supporting structure with an elongate support, and a filter sleeve disposed within an exterior sleeve; a filter sleeve comprising a tubular shaft of filter material, the shaft having an open first end, and a closed second end; an exterior sleeve comprising a tubular shaft that defines an internal cavity that is sized and proportioned to receive the filter sleeve, the tubular shaft having an open first end, and a substantially closed second end, the substantially closed second end having a hole for filtered exhaust gases to pass through; and an attachment member that mounts the exterior sleeve to the supporting structure.
Emissions control device comprising a threaded disassembling element
The invention relates to an emissions control device for a combustion engine aftertreatment arrangement, the emissions control device comprising: a housing configured for accommodating an emissions control substrate; and at least one first opening in the housing, which at least one first opening is configured for receiving a threaded assembling element, which threaded assembling element is configured for assembly of the emissions control device in a cavity of the aftertreatment arrangement. The emissions control device further comprises at least one second opening in the housing, wherein the at least one second opening is provided with a thread, configured for receiving a threaded disassembling element, which threaded disassembling element is configured for disassembly of the emissions control device from the cavity of the aftertreatment arrangement. The invention further relates to a combustion engine aftertreatment arrangement for a vehicle and a method for disassembling an emissions control device.
AFTER-MARKET REPLACEMENT KIT TO TEMPORARILY BYPASS A VEHICLE'S MUFFLER SILENCER RESONATORS TO IMPROVE EXHAUST SOUND, PERFORMANCE, FUEL ECONOMY AND OTHER CHARACTERISTICS
A replacement kit enables a user to generate a desired audible sound from an exhaust system of a motor vehicle. The kit includes a replacement catalytic converter arranged to replace the vehicle's original equipment catalytic converter. The replacement catalytic converter is connected to the vehicle's factory muffler through a replacement pipe segment to obtain a more desirable, yet muffled engine sound. The factory muffler may be removed from the motor vehicle and the replacement catalytic converter may instead be connected to a muffler bypass pipe or pipes or replacement exhaust components/segments which channels the exhaust flow directly to the atmosphere to obtain a more powerful unmuffled exciting visceral sports car engine sound.
