A method of controlling an exhaust gas aftertreatment system includes receiving a plurality of emissions values from a plurality of sensors disposed in an aftertreatment system, determining a real-time conversion efficiency for one or more legs of the aftertreatment system based on the emissions values, determining a real-time conversion metric for the aftertreatment system based on the real-time conversion efficiency for the one or more legs, comparing the real-time conversion metric to an upper threshold value, and initiating a cleaning operation to clean the aftertreatment system based on a determination that the real-time conversion metric satisfies the upper threshold value.

Dual leg aftertreatment system

Systems are provided including a selective catalytic reduction catalyst structured to receive first exhaust gas from a first fuel source of a dual fuel engine system and second exhaust gas from a second fuel source of the dual fuel engine system, a first fuel of the first fuel source differing from a second fuel of the second fuel source, an ammonia slip catalyst positioned downstream of the selective catalytic reduction catalyst to receive a flow of exhaust gases from the selective catalytic reduction catalyst without an intervening catalyst, and an oxidation catalyst positioned downstream of the ammonia slip catalyst to receive the flow of exhaust gases from the ammonia slip catalyst without an intervening catalyst.

Aftertreatment system, dual fuel system, and methods therefor

Systems and apparatuses include a selective catalytic reduction system structured to receive exhaust gases from a dual fuel engine system and include a diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit, an ammonia slip catalyst positioned directly downstream of the selective catalytic reduction catalyst, an oxidation catalyst positioned directly downstream of the ammonia slip catalyst, and one or more processing circuits. The circuits receive a system out NOx value, a space velocity, an ammonia to NOx ratio, an exhaust temperature, a substitution rate, and a conversion efficiency target. The circuits determine a conversion efficiency differential, adjust the substitution rate based on the system out NOx value, adjust the ammonia to NOx ratio based on the space velocity, the ammonia to NOx ratio, the exhaust temperature, the substitution rate, the conversion efficiency target, and the conversion efficiency differential, and determine a diesel exhaust fluid dosing rate for the diesel exhaust fluid dosing unit.

Aftertreatment system, dual fuel system, and dual fuel apparatus

One embodiment is a method of operating an electronic control system (ECS) to control an engine to propel a vehicle. The method comprises receiving a throttle command, determining an operation to increase engine cycle efficiency by reducing engine torque below a magnitude corresponding to the throttle command and below a torque curve limit over a first vehicle operation segment and permitting an increase in engine torque above the torque curve limit over a second vehicle operation segment, controlling the engine to output torque below the magnitude corresponding to the throttle command and below the torque curve limit over the first vehicle operation segment, and controlling the engine to output torque above the torque curve limit over the second vehicle operation segment in response to a second received throttle command and constrained by an extended limit on operation of the engine above the torque curve limit.
