Abstract
A reductant insertion assembly comprises a reductant bladder defining a bladder internal volume for holding a reductant. The reductant bladder comprises a bladder inlet and a bladder outlet. A pressure sensor is positioned downstream of the bladder outlet. The pressure sensor is operable to sense a pressure of the reductant downstream of the reductant bladder, and generate a pressure signal indicative of the pressure. A compression mechanism is operably coupled to the reductant bladder. The compression mechanism is configured to selectively exert a compressive force on the reductant bladder so as to expel the reductant therefrom via the bladder outlet. The compression mechanism exerts the compressive force in response to the pressure signal.
