A metal honeycomb substrate includes a tubular body, a flat plate, and a wavy plate. The tubular body has a receiving portion. The wavy plate is stacked with the flat plate to form a spiral structure received in the receiving portion. The wavy plate has a wavy-shaped cross section and includes a second region and a continuous region connected to the second region. The wavy-shaped cross section includes peak portions and valley portions. The wavy plate has a solder region overlapping at least one portion of at least one of the second region and the continuous region. Solders are on outer sides of the peak portions and outer sides of the valley portions which are in the solder region.

An aftertreatment system for a work vehicle includes: a fluid injector configured to inject a treatment fluid; a selective catalytic reducer (SCR) substrate; and a mixer fluidly coupled to the fluid injector and the SCR substrate and including at least one scroll defining a scroll open area and configured to receive a flow of exhaust gas and the treatment fluid. The mixer has a fixed wall and a plate displaceably coupled to the fixed wall, the plate being associated with the at least one scroll such that a change in a flow rate of exhaust gas into the at least one scroll passively causes displacement of the plate to adjust a size of the scroll open area.

An internal combustion engine emissions reduction system in which a emissions passing through a second catalyst element having a second catalyst function are mixed with emissions passing through a first catalyst element having a first catalyst function.

The invention relates to a method for replacing an exhaust aftertreatment component of an exhaust aftertreatment system in a vehicle or vessel. The exhaust aftertreatment system is delimited by an outer casing and comprises a first sleeve, which extends in an axial direction and contains a first exhaust aftertreatment component mounted directly in the first sleeve. The method comprises the steps of: removing the first exhaust aftertreatment component from the first sleeve, the first sleeve thereby remaining intact within the outer casing, providing a second exhaust aftertreatment component being mounted in a second sleeve, the second sleeve being configured to fit within the first sleeve, and mounting the second sleeve with the second exhaust aftertreatment component in the first sleeve by inserting the second sleeve into the first sleeve in the axial direction thereof.

A vehicle exhaust system includes an upstream exhaust component comprising at least a first catalyst having a first outer dimension, a downstream exhaust component comprising at least a second catalyst having a second outer dimension, and a mixer that connects the upstream and downstream exhaust components. The mixer comprises a first portion associated with an outlet from the first catalyst and a second portion associated with an inlet to the second catalyst. The first portion includes a swirl component having a first length and the second portion includes an additional component having a second length. A connection interface between the first and second portions allows the upstream and downstream exhaust components to be arranged in different positions relative to each other. A combined length of the first and second lengths is adjusted relative to the first and second outer dimensions to achieve a desired position of the upstream and downstream exhaust components relative to each other.

In an exhaust gas purifying catalyst according to the present invention, a substrate includes inflow-side cells, outflow-side cells, and porous partition walls, each partition wall separating the inflow-side cell from the outflow-side cell. Catalyst portions include: first catalyst portions, each first catalyst portion being provided on a surface of the partition wall that faces the inflow-side cell on an upstream side in an exhaust gas flow direction, and second catalyst portions, each second catalyst portion being provided on a surface of the partition wall that faces the outflow-side cell on a downstream side, and the exhaust gas purifying catalyst satisfies the following expressions: I.sub.B1/I.sub.A×100≥60%, I.sub.B2/I.sub.A×100≥60%, I.sub.C1/I.sub.A×100≥3%, and I.sub.C2/I.sub.A×100≥3%, where I.sub.A, I.sub.B1, I.sub.B2, I.sub.C1, and I.sub.C2 represent pore volumes, definitions of which can be found in the specification.

An aftertreatment system for a work vehicle includes: a fluid injector configured to inject a treatment fluid; a selective catalytic reducer (SCR) substrate; and a mixer fluidly coupled to the fluid injector and the SCR substrate and including at least one scroll defining a scroll open area and configured to receive a flow of exhaust gas and the treatment fluid. The mixer has a fixed wall and a plate displaceably coupled to the fixed wall, the plate being associated with the at least one scroll such that a change in a flow rate of exhaust gas into the at least one scroll passively causes displacement of the plate to adjust a size of the scroll open area.

A catalytic device that can increase the durability of a catalyst support with holes is provided. A flat plate and a corrugated plate have a plurality of holes, a joint area between the flat plate and the corrugated plate is provided in a first upstream area including one end of a catalyst support, and a joint area between the catalyst support and an outer cylinder is provided in a second upstream area that includes the first upstream area and is wider than the first upstream area in the direction of an axis.

A device for the aftertreatment of exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, having at least one catalytic converter, through which exhaust gas can flow, and at least one muffler formed by a closed volume and through which exhaust gas can flow along an inflow section to an outflow section. The catalytic converter is formed by a honeycomb body that has a plurality of flow channels through which exhaust gas can flow. The honeycomb body is accommodated in a casing tube, which surrounds the honeycomb body, and is connected to the casing tube in a materially bonded manner. The catalytic converter is arranged in the interior of the muffler.
