20090266058 | Exhaust system implementing feedforward and feedback control - An exhaust system for use with a combustion engine is disclosed. The exhaust system may have an exhaust passageway, and a reduction catalyst disposed within the exhaust passageway. The exhaust system may also have a first sensor located to generate a first signal indicative of an operational parameter of the reduction catalyst, and a second sensor located to generate a second signal indicative of a performance parameter of the reduction catalyst. The exhaust system may further have an injection device located to inject reductant upstream of the reduction catalyst, and a controller in communication with the combustion engine, the first sensor, the second sensor, and the injection device. The controller may be configured to determine a NO | 10-29-2009 |
20090266059 | Exhaust system implementing in situ calibration - An exhaust system for use with a combustion engine is disclosed. The exhaust system may have an exhaust passageway, a reduction catalyst, a reductant injector, and a controller. The controller may have a NO | 10-29-2009 |
20090293451 | Exhaust control system having diagnostic capability - An exhaust control system for use with a combustion engine having a reduction catalyst and a supply of reductant is disclosed. The exhaust control system may have a first sensor located to generate a first signal indicative of an amount of a constituent within the exhaust entering the reduction catalyst, a second sensor located to generate a second signal indicative of an amount of the constituent remaining within the exhaust exiting the reduction catalyst, and a third sensor configured to generate a third signal indicative of an amount of reductant within the supply. The exhaust control system may additionally have a controller in communication with the first sensor, the second sensor, and the third sensor. The controller may be configured to determine a change in an efficiency of the reduction catalyst based on the first and second signals, and diagnose the change in efficiency based on the third signal. | 12-03-2009 |
20100004901 | System and method for transforming data between the time domain and the combustion pulse domain - A method for transforming machine sensor data between a time domain and a combustion pulse domain is disclosed. The method may include determining a number of pulse events per rotation of a shaft and determining a sampling rate per pulse event. The method may also include sampling one or more sensors at the sampling rate per pulse event. The method also may include transforming the samples into the combustion pulse domain. | 01-07-2010 |
20100050608 | After-treatment component detection system - An after-treatment component detection system may include an exhaust system configured to include an after-treatment component configured to remove one or more constituents of the exhaust gases. The detection system may include an upstream temperature sensor configured to measure temperature upstream from the after-treatment component, a downstream temperature sensor configured to measure temperature downstream from the after-treatment component, and a controller. The controller may be configured to receive signals indicative of upstream temperature measurements from the upstream sensor and signals indicative of downstream temperature measurements from the downstream sensor and determine an upstream rate of temperature change and a downstream rate of temperature change. The controller may also be configured to compare the upstream rate of temperature change to the downstream rate of temperature change and generate a fault if the upstream rate of temperature change and the downstream rate of temperature change differ by less than a predetermined amount. | 03-04-2010 |
20100095653 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HEATING A REDUCING AGENT ASSOCIATED WITH A REDUCING AGENT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - A system for heating a reducing agent associated with a reducing agent distribution system. The system may include a reducing agent containment device, a distribution device connected to the reducing agent containment device, and at least one heating component associated with the reducing agent containment device. A temperature sensor may be configured to determine a temperature of the reducing agent and may be disposed at least partially within the reducing agent containment device. A pressure sensor may be associated with the distribution device and configured to determine a pressure characteristic of the system. A controller may be configured to receive input from the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor and configured to send input to the at least one heating component based on the input received from the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor. | 04-22-2010 |
