Abstract

A sensor mounting table for mounting sensors to an aftertreatment system may include a sensor mounting plate having a substantially flat mounting surface for mounting one or more sensors associated with the aftertreatment system. The substantially flat mounting surface may be offset from a heat shield of the aftertreatment system. The sensor mounting table may further include an insulative material disposed between at least a portion of the substantially flat mounting surface of the sensor mounting plate and the heat shield. The sensor mounting plate may be configured to be attached to the aftertreatment system to secure the insulative material between the substantially flat mounting surface of the sensor mounting plate and the heat shield.

Claims9

Dependent claims

A sensor mounting system comprising:

a first sensor mounting plate configured to be mounted to an aftertreatment system, the first sensor mounting plate comprising a first substantially flat mounting surface for mounting a first sensor;
and
a second sensor mounting plate configured to be mounted to the aftertreatment system, the second sensor mounting plate comprising a second substantially flat mounting surface for mounting a second sensor,
wherein the second sensor mounting plate is attached to the first sensor mounting plate,
wherein the first sensor mounting plate further comprises a first bend portion extending substantially perpendicular to the first substantially flat mounting surface;
wherein the second sensor mounting plate is attached to the first sensor mounting plate via the first bend portion;
wherein the first sensor mounting plate further comprises additional bend portions extending substantially perpendicular to the first substantially flat mounting surface;
and
wherein the additional bend portions are not attached to the second sensor mounting plate.
