Exhaust gas aftertreatment module support assembly

An exhaust gas aftertreatment module support assembly comprising:

• a first mounting bracket, the first mounting bracket comprising a first mounting bracket first flange disposed along a first plane, and a first mounting bracket second flange configured to be coupled to a cylinder block and disposed along a second plane that is angled relative to the first plane;
• a second mounting bracket;
• and
• a cradle assembly selectively coupled to the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket, the cradle assembly comprising:
• a first cradle bracket having a first cradle bracket first flange, a first cradle bracket second flange, and a first cradle bracket cradle surface extending between the first cradle bracket first flange and the first cradle bracket second flange and at least partially disposed along a first circular arc;
• a first cradle band coupled to the first cradle bracket first flange and the first cradle bracket second flange and having a first cradle band cradle surface at least partially disposed along a second circular arc;
• a second cradle bracket having a second cradle bracket first flange, a second cradle bracket second flange, and a second cradle bracket cradle surface extending between the second cradle bracket first flange and the second cradle bracket second flange and at least partially disposed along a third circular arc;
• a second cradle band coupled to the second cradle bracket first flange and the second cradle bracket second flange and having a second cradle band cradle surface at least partially disposed along a fourth circular arc;
• a first rail coupled to the first cradle bracket and the second cradle bracket;
• and
• a second rail coupled to the first cradle bracket and the second cradle bracket.

An exhaust gas aftertreatment system for an internal combustion engine having a cylinder block and a cylinder head, the exhaust gas aftertreatment system comprising:

• an exhaust gas aftertreatment module comprising:
• an inlet endcap configured to receive exhaust gas;
• a body configured to receive the exhaust gas from the inlet endcap;
• and
• an outlet endcap configured to receive the exhaust gas from the body and to provide the exhaust gas;
• and
• an exhaust gas aftertreatment module support assembly comprising:
• a first mounting bracket configured to be coupled to the cylinder block, the first mounting bracket comprising:
• a first mounting bracket first flange disposed along a first plane;
• and
• a first mounting bracket second flange configured to be coupled to the cylinder block and disposed along a second plane that is angled relative to the first plane;
• a second mounting bracket configured to be coupled to the cylinder block;
• and
• a cradle assembly selectively coupled to the first mounting bracket first flange and the second mounting bracket, the cradle assembly comprising:
• a first cradle bracket having a first cradle bracket cradle surface interfacing with the body adjacent the inlet endcap;
• and
• a second cradle bracket having a second cradle bracket cradle surface interfacing with the body adjacent the outlet endcap, the second cradle bracket being identical to the first cradle bracket;
• wherein the exhaust gas aftertreatment module is separated from the cylinder head when the cradle assembly is coupled to the first mounting bracket first flange and the second mounting bracket.
