| 摘要 |
One embodiment is a unique strategy for raising exhaust temperatures which includes deactivating a first group of cylinders while maintaining a second group of cylinders in a combustion mode and injecting fuel into each of one of the second group of cylinders not earlier than 2 degrees before top dead center (TDC). The strategy also includes passing fuel rich exhaust from the second group of cylinders into an exhaust pathway and oxidizing at least a portion of the fuel rich exhaust in the exhaust pathway. In one form, the oxidizing occurs independent of any catalytic influence. Other embodiments include unique methods, systems, and apparatus for raising exhaust temperatures and/or regenerating one or more components of an aftertreatment system. Further embodiments, forms, objects, features, advantages, aspects, and benefits shall become apparent from the following description and drawings. |
