Exhaust Aftertreatment System

US Patent:
2013006, Mar 21, 2013
Filed:
Sep 28, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/518870
Inventors:
Craig Hittle - Peoria IL, US

Tetsu O. Velasquez - Washington IL, US
Pauk W. Park - Peoria IL, US
Shashank Mupparapu - Peoria IL, US
Rick E. Jeffs - Peoria IL, US
Michael P. Boahene - Dunlap IL, US
Yung T. Bui - Peoria IL, US
International Classification:
F01N 3/28
US Classification:
60274, 60299
Abstract:
An exhaust aftertreatment system including a housing with two or more inlets configured to receive separate entering exhaust streams from an engine. The system may include two or more first exhaust treatment devices, each configured to receive one of the separate entering exhaust streams in a first direction. The system may further include two or more redirecting flow passages configured to combine the separate exhaust streams into a merged exhaust stream that flows in a second direction about 180 degrees from the first direction and an intermediate flow region configured to divide the merged exhaust stream into two or more separate exiting exhaust streams. The system also may also includes two or more second exhaust treatment devices, each configured to receive one of the separate exiting exhaust streams in a third direction about 90 degrees from the second direction.

After-Treatment System

US Patent:
2014004, Feb 13, 2014
Filed:
Aug 9, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/571053
Inventors:
Mirza P. Baig - Peoria IL, US
Thomas W. Manning - Metamora IL, US
Rick E. Jeffs - Peoria IL, US
Kristian N. Engelsen - South Bend IN, US
Andrew M. Denis - Peoria IL, US
Pradyumna V. Rao - Peoria IL, US
Assignee:
CATERPILLAR INC. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
B01J 19/00
B23P 6/00
US Classification:
422600, 29888011, 422129
Abstract:
An after-treatment system includes a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst or a similar aftertreatment unit or brick that may be inserted into the opened end of a sleeve. The aftertreatment brick includes a substrate matrix with catalytic material that extends between a first face and a second face. A mantle is disposed around the substrate matrix and extends between a first rim proximate the first face and a second rim proximate the second face. The mantel may include a overhang extension that extends the first rim of the mantle beyond the first face of the substrate matrix. To enable retrieval of the SCR catalyst from the sleeve, a retrieval feature is disposed on a readily accessible, inner surface of the overhang extension.

Aftertreatment Mounting System

US Patent:
2012009, Apr 26, 2012
Filed:
Oct 22, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/910053
Inventors:

Steven R. Storm - Edelstein IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
F01N 1/00
US Classification:
60272
Abstract:
An exhaust aftertreatment module comprising a plurality of mounts for connecting the module to a surface. The mounts are arranged in a radial pattern around a central location of the module. The mounts also have a direction of travel aligned with a radial direction of expansion that passes through the central location.

After-Treatment System

US Patent:
2015021, Jul 30, 2015
Filed:
Apr 6, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/679712

International Classification:
F01N 13/18
B01D 53/94
Abstract:
An after-treatment system includes a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst or a similar aftertreatment unit or brick that may be inserted into the opened end of a sleeve. The aftertreatment brick includes a substrate matrix with catalytic material that extends between a first face and a second face.

Aftertreatment Module And Method Of Assembly

US Patent:
2014028, Sep 25, 2014
Filed:
Mar 22, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/849180
Inventors:
- Peoria IL, US
Mirza P. Baig - Peoria IL, US
Nilkanth N. Desai - Dunlap IL, US
Rick E. Jeffs - Peoria IL, US
Kristian N. Engelsen - South Bend IN, US
Pradyumna V. Rao - Peoria IL, US
Ian Aguirre - Peoria IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
F02C 7/20
US Classification:
60796, 29890
Abstract:
To assemble an aftertreatment module for use in the treatment of exhaust gasses and the like, an aftertreatment brick is inserted into a sleeve opening in a sleeve and advanced toward an opposite end of the sleeve. To retain the aftertreatment brick in the sleeve, the end of the sleeve can include a stop flange and the aftertreatment brick can include a mantle flange. The stop flange and the mantle flange can abut against each other to prevent further movement of the aftertreatment brick through the sleeve. To seal against exhaust gasses leaking though the module, a gasket can be disposed between the stop flange and the mantle flange. Exterior ribs disposed around the aftertreatment brick can assist concentric alignment between the flanges and gasket.

Exhaust Aftertreatment System

US Patent:
2014026, Sep 18, 2014
Filed:
Mar 15, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/836725
Inventors:
Caterpillar Inc. - , US
Kevin J. Weiss - Peoria IL, US
Raymond U. Isada - Peoria IL, US
Thomas W. Manning - Metamora IL, US
Rick E. Jeffs - Peoria IL, US
Kurtis E. Chenoweth - Ipava IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
F01N 3/18
US Classification:
60274, 60301
Abstract:
An exhaust aftertreatment module is provided. The exhaust aftertreatment module includes a housing having a first end and a second end. The at least one inlet is disposed between the first end and the second end and is configured to introduce an exhaust into the housing. A mixing tube is disposed downstream of the at least one inlet. The mixing tube is configured to direct the exhaust towards the second end of the housing. The exhaust aftertreatment module further includes a single bank of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalysts disposed at an oblique angle to a longitudinal axis of the mixing tube. The single bank of SCR catalysts is configured to receive the exhaust redirected from the second end of the housing.

System And Method For Accommodating Aftertreatment Bricks

US Patent:
2014024, Sep 4, 2014
Filed:
Mar 1, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/782251
Inventors:
- Peoria IL, US
Thomas W. Manning - Metamora IL, US
Ian Aguirre - Peoria IL, US
Rick E. Jeffs - Peoria IL, US
Nagaraju Manchikanti - Peoria IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
B01D 53/86
US Classification:
422168, 2952501
Abstract:
An aftertreatment system and method treats exhaust gasses produced by an internal combustion process or a similar process. The aftertreatment system includes an aftertreatment module having a sleeve extending between a first end and a second end. One or more aftertreatment bricks are axially inserted into a sleeve opening disposed in the first end of the sleeve. To prevent the aftertreatment bricks from unintentionally exiting the sleeve, a captive ring is disposed around the first end of the sleeve as a loose fitting collar. The captive ring is restrained on the sleeve by a circumferential bead protruding about the first end. The captive ring can couple with a retention ring placed adjacent the first end. When coupled to the captive ring, a portion of the retention ring extends partially across and blocks the sleeve opening, preventing the aftertreatment brick from exiting the sleeve.
