Definitions

  • This disclosure is directed to an aftertreatment system support assembly.
  • Engines for example internal combustion engines burning gasoline, diesel, or biofuel, output various substances which must be treated to meet current and future emissions legislation. Most commonly, such substances comprise hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxides (CO), mono-nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter such as carbon (C), a constituent of soot. Some of those substances may be reduced by careful control of the operating conditions of the engine, but usually it is necessary to provide an aftertreatment module downstream of the engine to treat at least some of the substances entrained in the exhaust gas.
