Latest Patents
Shuhai Hou holds a patent titled "Method and system for modeling reductant deposit growth." This invention provides a method and system for modeling the growth of reductant deposits in real-time. The system utilizes input data such as exhaust gas temperature, exhaust gas flow rate, and reductant dosing rate. The growth of reductant deposits is influenced by the rate at which reductant accumulates and decomposes from the surface of the aftertreatment system. The disclosed method determines a net reductant deposit growth rate value based on both accumulation and decomposition rates. Additionally, it calculates a reductant mass deposit value, which can be used to control a regeneration strategy to eliminate reductant deposits from the system.
