An aftertreatment system for treating exhaust gas includes: an exhaust conduit configured to receive the exhaust gas; a preheating oxidation catalyst disposed in the exhaust conduit; a primary oxidation catalyst disposed in the exhaust conduit downstream of the preheating oxidation catalyst; a selective catalytic reduction system disposed in the exhaust conduit downstream of the primary oxidation catalyst; and a controller configured to: determine a temperature of the exhaust gas at an inlet of the selective catalytic reduction system, and in response to the temperature of the exhaust gas at the inlet of the selective catalytic reduction system being below a threshold temperature, cause hydrocarbons to be provided to the preheating oxidation catalyst or to the exhaust conduit at a location upstream of the preheating oxidation catalyst. The preheating oxidation catalyst catalyzes combustion of the hydrocarbons so as to increase the temperature of the exhaust gas to above the threshold temperature.

Aftertreatment system including preheating oxidation catalyst

An aftertreatment system includes a particulate filter configured to receive exhaust gas from an engine and a controller that measures an actual pressure drop across the particulate filter, determines an expected total ash accumulation rate in the particulate filter based on a current duty cycle of the engine, determines an expected pressure drop across the particulate filter based on the expected total ash accumulation rate, compares the expected pressure drop with the actual pressure drop, and determines whether an oil consumption rate in the engine is abnormal based on the comparison.

Engine health and oil consumption rate diagnostic using back pressure

A system includes: an engine; and an aftertreatment system for treating exhaust gas produced by the engine, the aftertreatment system including: an exhaust conduit configured to receive the exhaust gas and hydrocarbons from the engine; a preheating oxidation catalyst; a primary oxidation catalyst disposed downstream of the preheating oxidation catalyst; a selective catalytic reduction system disposed in the exhaust conduit downstream of the primary oxidation catalyst. The aftertreatment system includes: a controller configured to: determine a temperature of the exhaust gas at an inlet of the selective catalytic reduction system, and in response to the temperature of the exhaust gas at the inlet of the selective catalytic reduction system being below a threshold temperature, cause the engine to provide the hydrocarbons to the exhaust conduit. The preheating oxidation catalyst is configured to catalyze combustion of the hydrocarbons so as to increase the temperature of the exhaust gas to above the threshold temperature.

Aftertreatment system including preheating oxidation and catalyst

An aftertreatment system for treating an exhaust gas comprises an exhaust conduit, a preheating oxidation catalyst, a primary oxidation catalyst disposed downstream of the preheating oxidation catalyst, and a selective catalytic reduction system disposed in the exhaust conduit downstream of the primary oxidation catalyst. A controller is configured to determine a temperature of an exhaust gas at an inlet of the selective catalytic reduction system. In response to the temperature being below a threshold temperature, the controller generates a hydrocarbon insertion signal configured to cause hydrocarbons to be inserted into or upstream of the preheating oxidation catalyst so as to increase a temperature of the exhaust gas to above the threshold temperature.
