Abstract
A lance injector assembly for an exhaust component includes: an exhaust conduit; a shaft configured to extend into the exhaust conduit and dispense reductant from a hydraulically-actuated valve; an actuator configured to operate the hydraulically-actuated valve; and a mounting system configured to couple the actuator and the shaft to the exhaust conduit. The mounting system prevents the actuator from directly contacting the exhaust conduit.
Claims15
A lance injector assembly for an exhaust component, the lance injector assembly comprising:
- an exhaust conduit;
- a shaft configured to extend into the exhaust conduit and dispense reductant from a hydraulically-actuated valve;
- an actuator configured to operate the hydraulically-actuated valve;
- and
- a mounting system that couples the actuator and the shaft to the exhaust conduit while preventing the actuator from directly contacting the exhaust conduit, the mounting system comprising:
- a spacer component coupled to and surrounding a portion of the shaft that is disposed outside the exhaust conduit, the spacer component coupled to the exhaust conduit,
- an inner cap component coupled to and surrounding the spacer component,
- an outer cap component disposed at an upper end of the shaft and an upper end of the spacer component at a location outside the exhaust conduit,
- mounting ring members securing the inner cap component to the outer cap component, and
- an insulating region defined by an outer surface of the shaft, inner surfaces of the spacer component, and a lower surface of the outer cap component.
