AFTERTREATMENT HEATER POWER ELECTRONICS
Systems include a prime mover that generates power for a mobile vehicle; a power converter that receives a portion of the generated power, and provides configured electrical power to an aftertreatment heater device configured to selectively heat an exhaust fluid of the prime mover; at least one aftertreatment component positioned downstream of the aftertreatment heater device, and configured to treat a constituent of the exhaust fluid; and a controller including an operating conditions circuit structured to interpret an operating parameter of one of the power converter, the aftertreatment heater device, the prime mover, or the exhaust fluid; a heater management circuit that determines a heating power value in response to the operating parameter; and a heater control circuit that provides a heating command in response to the heating power value; and wherein the power converter is responsive to the heating command to heat the exhaust fluid of the prime mover.
MODULAR EXHAUST AFTERTREATMENT SUBSYSTEM
A modular exhaust subsystem for purifying an exhaust gas feedstream of a compression-ignition internal combustion engine upstream of a base exhaust aftertreatment system includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst, and a first exhaust gas sensor and a first temperature sensor that are arranged to monitor the SCR catalyst. A reductant delivery system is arranged to inject a reductant upstream of the SCR catalyst. A controller is in communication with an engine-out exhaust gas sensor, a second exhaust gas sensor and a second temperature sensor that are arranged to monitor the base exhaust aftertreatment system. The controller controls the reductant delivery system to inject the reductant into the exhaust gas feedstream upstream of the SCR catalyst based upon inputs from the first and second exhaust gas sensors, the engine-out exhaust gas sensor, and the first and second temperature sensors.
PREDICTIVE AMMONIA RELEASE CONTROL
Embodiments are directed towards controlling uncontrolled release of ammonia from an engine of a vehicle. An estimated status of the engine is determined prior to an event, such as an estimated load on the engine prior to the vehicle going up a hill. A predictive model of uncontrolled ammonia release is generated for the estimated status. At least one engine-related countermeasure is selected based on the predictive model. If the predictive model of uncontrolled ammonia release with the selected countermeasures satisfies a threshold condition, then the selected engine-related countermeasure is employed.
CONFIGURABLE AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEMS INCLUDING A HOUSING
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.
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.
Method for Detecting a Manipulation of an Exhaust Gas System and Control Unit and Checking Unit
A method detects a manipulation of an exhaust gas system, in which measured values are sent to an external checking unit by a control unit of the exhaust gas system. In the external checking unit, an evaluation of the exhaust gas system as “manipulated” or as “not manipulated” takes place. Model values are formed in the control unit, which are at least partially formed from the measured values which are sent to the external checking unit. The external checking unit takes the model values and the measured values into consideration in the evaluation of the exhaust gas system.
Reaction device of marine SCR system
A reaction device of a marine SCR system comprises a conveying unit (110), a reaction chamber (120), at least one catalyst module (130), and an air homogenization chamber (140), wherein, the conveying unit (110) includes an input pipeline (111) and an output pipeline (112) sleeved outside the input pipeline (111). One end of the reaction chamber (120) is connected to the conveying unit (110). The reaction chamber (120) comprises an inner cylinder (121) and an outer cylinder (122) sleeved outside the inner cylinder (121), the inner cylinder (121) is in communication with the input pipeline (111), and the outer cylinder (122) is in communication with the output pipeline (112). The catalyst module (130) is provided between the inner cylinder (121) and the outer cylinder (122). The air homogenization chamber (140) is connected to the other end of the reaction chamber (120) and is in communication with both the inner cylinder (121) and the outer cylinder (122). With the reaction device of the marine SCR system whereby the outer cylinder is sleeved outside the inner cylinder, flue gas from the inner cylinder is turned by the air homogenization chamber and then flows back into the outer cylinder. This can not only substantially reduce the size of the reaction device to improve the integration of the SCR system, but also allow the flue gas to turn in the air homogenization chamber and then flow back, so that the flue gas and a reducing agent can be fully mixed in the air homogenization chamber to improve the catalytic reaction efficiency.
Methods and systems for controlling selective catalytic reductant catalyst of a gasoline engine
Systems and methods for controlling a gasoline urea selective catalytic reductant catalyst are described. In one example, an observer is provided that corrects an estimate of an amount of NH.sub.3 that is stored in a SCR. The amount of NH.sub.3 that is stored in the SCR is a basis for generating additional NH.sub.3 or ceasing generation of NH.sub.3.
EXHAUST GAS PURIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A WORK VEHICLE
A work vehicle includes an engine, a battery, an exhaust gas purification system or device, and a notification device. The exhaust gas purification system or device is capable of performing a purification process purifying exhaust gas of the engine, and operates with electric power from the battery and performs an end process. The notification device provides notification that the exhaust gas purification system or device is performing the end process or that the end process is completed.
Method of generating vehicle control data, vehicle control device, and vehicle control system
A method of generating vehicle control data includes: storing, with a storage device, relationship prescription data; operating, with an execution device, an operable portion of an internal combustion engine; acquiring, with the execution device, a detection value from a sensor that detects the state of the vehicle; calculating, with the execution device, a reward; and updating, with the execution device, the relationship prescription data using update mapping determined in advance, the update mapping using the state of the vehicle based on the detection value, an operation amount used to operate the operable portion, and the reward corresponding to the operation as arguments, and returning the relationship prescription data which have been updated such that an expected profit for the reward calculated when the operable portion is operated in accordance with the relationship prescription data increases.
