Increasing exhaust temperature for aftertreatment operation

摘要

An internal combustion engine system includes: an engine with a plurality of pistons; a variable load driven by rotary power from the engine, the load including one or more of a pump, an air conditioner; and a fan; aftertreatment equipment to control exhaust emission from the engine; a sensor to provide a sensor signal corresponding to temperature of exhaust from the engine; and a controller coupled to the sensor and operable to regulate a regeneration operation of one or more components of the aftertreatment equipment. The controller responds to the sensor signal to generate one or more control signals to adjust the variable load to increase loading of the engine and correspondingly raise the temperature of the exhaust for the regeneration operation.
