System And Method For Cleaning Combustion Soot From Exhaust Gas Treatment Sensors

View page
US Patent:
20090025374, Jan 29, 2009
Filed:
Jul 27, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/829589
Inventors:
Edmund P. Hodzen - Columbus IN, US
International Classification:
F01N 3/00
US Classification:
60295
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for cleaning combustion soot from an exhaust gas aftertreatment sensor. The system and method determine whether to conduct a sensor desoot event, and if it is determined that a sensor desoot event is to be conducted, the exhaust gas temperature is increased such that the temperature of the sensor correspondingly increases to or above a desoot temperature, the exhaust gas temperature is then controlled to maintain the temperature of the sensor at or above the desoot temperature for a predefined time period, and the exhaust gas temperature is then decreased after the temperature of the sensor has been at or above the desoot temperature for the predefined time period.

US Patent:
20140017794, Jan 16, 2014
Filed:
Jul 13, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/549324
Inventors:
Fan Zeng - Columbus IN, US
C. Larry Bruner - Greenwood IN, US
Edmund Hodzen - Columbus IN, US
Ian Package - Columbus IN, US
Shankar Kumar - Columbus IN, US
Krishna Kamasamudram - Columbus IN, US
Assignee:
CUMMINS IP, INC - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
G01N 31/00
US Classification:
436 55, 422 62
Abstract:
A method and system for mitigating a urea deposit within an SCR system that includes determining a mass of an accumulated urea deposit present within the SCR catalyst and SCR piping, comparing the mass of the accumulated urea deposit with a deposit upper threshold limit, and initiating an SCR regeneration event when the mass of the accumulated urea deposit is greater than the deposit upper threshold limit. The method further includes determining an amount of NHpassing through the SCR catalyst downstream of the urea deposit, comparing the amount of NHpassing through the SCR catalyst with an NHregeneration threshold limit, and terminating the SCR regeneration event when the level of NHpassing through the SCR catalyst is less than the SCR NHregeneration threshold.

System, Method, And Apparatus For Aftertreatment System Monitoring

US Patent:
20140033683, Feb 6, 2014
Filed:
Oct 7, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/047607
Inventors:
David Everard - Columbus IN, US
Baohua Qi - Columbus IN, US
Mickey R. McDaniel - Greenwood IN, US
Edmund P. Hodzen - Columbus IN, US
Guoquiang Li - Indianapolis IN, US
Assignee:
Cummins Emmision Solutions Inc. - Columbus IN
International Classification:
F01N 3/10
US Classification:
60274, 60286
Abstract:
A method includes determining whether a urea refill event is detected, and clearing a quality accumulator value and clearing a latching abort command. The method includes determining whether urea fluid quality check abort conditions are met, and clearing the urea quality accumulator, latching the abort command, and exiting the reductant fluid quality check. In response to the abort conditions not being met, incrementing the urea quality accumulator according to an amount of urea being injected, and comparing the accumulated urea quantity to a low test threshold. The method includes, in response to the accumulated urea quantity being greater than the low test threshold, comparing the accumulated urea quantity to a high test threshold, and in response to the urea quantity being greater than the high test threshold, determining whether the a NOexceedance is observed and clearing a urea quality error in response to the NOexceedance not being observed.

The first fuel can be a liquid fuel and the second fuel can be a gaseous fuel. The fuelling amounts are controlled to improve operational outcomes of the duel fuel engine.

System And Methods For Combustion Controls In Multi-Cylinder Opposed Piston Engines

View page
US Patent:
20210310433, Oct 7, 2021
Filed:
Sep 25, 2017
Appl. No.:
16/336747
Inventors:
- Columbus IN, US
Edmund P. Hodzen - Columbus IN, US
Assignee:
Cummins Inc. - Columbus IN
International Classification:
F02D 41/14
F02D 41/40
F02D 35/02
Abstract:
A multi-cylinder opposed piston engine () can include one or more sensors, such as oxygen or nox sensors (), for each cylinder () of the multi-cylinder opposed piston engine (). The sensors () are in communication with an engine control unit () that can receive measurements and other data from the sensors. In one example, each cylinder () includes one or more sensors () located adjacent to exhaust ports () of each individual cylinder (). In another example, each cylinder () includes one or more sensors () located in an exhaust passageway () of each individual cylinder (). In some examples, the multi-cylinder opposed piston engine () can include multiple crankshafts (). For example, the multi-cylinder opposed piston engine () can include two crankshafts (), where each crankshaft () engages, either directly or indirectly, one of two opposed pistons () of a cylinder (). In one example, each crankshaft () includes one or more sensors, such as a torque sensor (), a speed sensor (), or a noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) sensor ().
