A real time, average pressure difference method for monitoring doser efficiency is described that determines the difference between the average pressure when the doser is not injecting and the average pressure when the doser is injecting at a predetermined commanded injection rate. The average pressure difference method results in improved doser efficiency monitoring. The method can be implemented in a number of areas. For example, in a diesel truck application, the doser efficiency can be monitored accurately in real time.

Real time doser efficiency monitoring

A real time doser efficiency monitoring method is described that measures the average instant pressure difference within one duty cycle of the doser injector. The disclosed method results in improved doser efficiency monitoring. The disclosed method can be implemented in a number of areas. For example, in a diesel truck application, the doser efficiency can be monitored accurately, for example within 5% error, all the time, no matter whether the truck is in a transient or steady state.

A pre-catalyst device configured to be disposed upstream of a main aftertreatment device of an engine exhaust system. An oxidizing material is disposed on an inlet face of the pre-catalyst device, where the oxidizing material is configured to oxidize engine exhaust before the engine exhaust reaches the main aftertreatment device of the engine exhaust system.
