Injector mounting configuration for an exhaust treatment system

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a device for mounting an injector to an exhaust pipe. The device includes an injector mounting structure having an exterior surface configured for mounting the injector. The injector mounting structure also includes an interior surface arrangement defining an interior volume and a port for allowing the injector to inject a reductant into the interior volume. The interior surface arrangement is configured to prevent swirling of exhaust within the interior volume.

主权项

1. An exhaust treatment system comprising:
an exhaust conduit having a pipe wall defining a side opening; an injector mounting structure coupled to the exhaust conduit at the side opening, the injector mounting structure having a base surface configured as a curved plate mounted to an exterior surface of the exhaust conduit so as to cover the side opening, the injector mounting structure having an exterior injector mounting surface, the injector mounting structure also including an interior surface arrangement defining an interior volume in fluid communication with an interior of the exhaust conduit, the injector mounting structure further including a port extending through the injector mounting structure from the exterior injector mounting surface to the interior volume, the interior surface arrangement being configured to prevent swirling of exhaust within the interior volume; the interior volume including a length that extends from an upstream end of the interior volume adjacent an upstream end of the side opening to a downstream end of the interior volume adjacent a downstream end of the side opening relative to exhaust flow in the exhaust conduit; and a spray redirector positioned within the exhaust conduit.
