Abstract
A diesel engine combustion and temperature management system includes injection nozzles for injecting plural fuel additives into an intake of the diesel engine and a controller controlling the amount of each fuel additive injected as a function of engine load, engine speed, exhaust temperature, and/or other parameters.
Claims16
A system comprising:
- an additive injection module configured for installation in a combustion air intake system of a diesel engine, the additive injection module defining an interior region;
- a first additive subsystem including a first additive storage tank, a first additive conduit coupled to said first additive storage tank in fluid communication, and a first additive injector coupled to said first additive conduit in fluid communication, the first additive injector in fluid communication with the interior region of the additive injection module;
- a second additive subsystem including a second additive storage tank, a second additive conduit coupled to said second additive storage tank in fluid communication, and a second additive injector coupled to said second additive conduit in fluid communication, the second additive injector in fluid communication with the interior region of the additive injection module:
- a third additive subsystem including a third additive storage tank, a third additive conduit coupled to said third additive storage tank in fluid communication, and a third additive injector coupled to said third additive conduit in fluid communication, the third additive injector in fluid communication with the interior region of the additive injection module;
- each of the additive injectors comprising an injection valve that may be selectively opened and closed to control flow of the respective additive to the interior region of the additive injection module.
