� Fast idle warm-up

– Cuts fueling to 3 cylinders and raises engine speed when temp

thresholds are met

– Coolant and Intake manifold temp inputs

– Default = enabled

Aftertreatment Definitions� Soot

– Exhaust particles composed of partially burned fuel and oil

from engine operation (ie, black smoke)

� Ash

– Material from the oil additive package that cannot be

oxidized, and is collected in the DPF. Ash is what requires

the DPF to be removed and cleaned at specified intervals.

� Aftertreatment Injection

– Injection of fuel into the exhaust to increase exhaust

temperatures. The injected fuel is oxidized across the DOC

to create heat.

Page 49: Kerlin Service Training - Kerlin Bus Sales Service Training 3 March 2015 Michael Hodge Cummins Crosspoint Field Service Engineer. Agenda Aftertreatment – Components – Theory of

Aftertreatment Definitions� Regeneration

– The process of converting the soot collected in the DPF into carbon dioxide

– This process requires heat to occur

– There are two types of regeneration

• Passive regeneration – the engine exhaust temperatures are high enough during normal operation to oxidize the soot faster than it’s collected

• Active regeneration – the engine exhaust temperatures during normal operation are not sufficient enough to oxidize the soot (soot is collected faster than it is oxidized). The engine then uses aftertreatment injection to increase the exhaust temperature. Active regeneration can be either “mobile” (while the vehicle is moving) or “stationary” (while the vehicle is not moving).

• Both kinds of regeneration can occur during normal operation and are transparent to the vehicle operator

Page 50: Kerlin Service Training - Kerlin Bus Sales Service Training 3 March 2015 Michael Hodge Cummins Crosspoint Field Service Engineer. Agenda Aftertreatment – Components – Theory of

Aftertreatment Definitions� Regeneration

– Stationary Regeneration

• Stationary regeneration is performed while the vehicle is not moving

• Only available via dash switch when DPF lamp is illuminated

• Requires elevated idle speed (ie, 1050 to 1100 RPM)

• Can be initiated with either a vehicle mounted switch or with Insite

• Note that stationary regeneration is a form of active regeneration since it requires aftertreatment injection

DEF Dosing System Operation� The SCR system is comprised of many components but

requires a minimal amount of servicing or driver intervention. The SCR system is comprised of four main states: Priming, Dosing, Purging and Heating.

� Priming state:

– Once the SCR catalyst reaches a temperature of 480°F (250°C) the aftertreatment DEF controller will command the aftertreatment DEF dosing unit to start its priming process. The aftertreatment DEF dosing unit will draw DEF from the DEF tank, filter the DEF, and then pressurize the DEF to the aftertreatment DEF dosing valve. The aftertreatment DEF dosing valve will open and close to purge any air out of the system. Once the system is able to build up pressure and has removed most of the air bubbles from the DEF lines the aftertreatment DEF dosing system is capable of dosing.

Page 53: Kerlin Service Training - Kerlin Bus Sales Service Training 3 March 2015 Michael Hodge Cummins Crosspoint Field Service Engineer. Agenda Aftertreatment – Components – Theory of

DEF Dosing System Operation

� Dosing state:

– The aftertreatment DEF dosing valve will open and spray DEF in

the exhaust stream when the engine’s ECM commands it. As

long as the dosing system is in the dosing state the aftertreatment

DEF dosing unit will continue to run regardless of whether the

aftertreatment DEF dosing valve is spraying DEF or not. DEF

dosing rates are dependent on vehicle duty cycle. The dosing

rates are not necessarily constant under most duty cycles. The

aftertreatment DEF dosing valve will pulse the demanded amount

of DEF into the exhaust stream. Any DEF that is not used by the

aftertreatment DEF dosing valve is returned to the DEF tank.

Page 54: Kerlin Service Training - Kerlin Bus Sales Service Training 3 March 2015 Michael Hodge Cummins Crosspoint Field Service Engineer. Agenda Aftertreatment – Components – Theory of

DEF Dosing System Operation

� Purging state:

– When a driver keys off, the dosing system will shut down with a purge cycle to prevent DEF from being left in the system. This is done to prevent freezing in cold climates. An audible click and pumping sound will be heard from the DEF dosing unit when it is in a purge cycle. The DEF dosing unit will actuate the return valve and cause a change in the flow direction of the DEF. The DEF dosing unit will pull all of the DEF out of the aftertreatmentDEF dosing valve and pressure line and return it to the DEF tank. During this process, the aftertreatment DEF dosing valve will open eliminating the vacuum created in the lines for a more complete purge process. After a complete purge the majority of the system will be free of any remaining DEF. If the main power to the aftertreatment DEF controller is removed, via a battery cut off or other means, before the purging is competed, an internal fault will be logged in the ECM. The incomplete purge counter can be viewed in INSITE.

Page 55: Kerlin Service Training - Kerlin Bus Sales Service Training 3 March 2015 Michael Hodge Cummins Crosspoint Field Service Engineer. Agenda Aftertreatment – Components – Theory of

DEF Dosing System Operation

� Heating state:

– DEF freezes at 11°F (-11°C). If the ambient air temperature

sensor reads ambient conditions are below 25°F (-4°C) the

aftertreatment DEF controller will command the dosing system to

go into the defrost state. The aftertreatment dosing unit will turn

on its internal heater to defrost any remaining DEF that still may

be inside it. The heated DEF lines will also be commanded on. If

the DEF tank temperature drops below 23°F (-5°C) the DEF tank

coolant valve will be commanded open by the aftertreatment DEF

controller. Engine coolant will flow though the tank to defrost the

frozen DEF. The DEF dosing system will not prime until every

component is completely defrosted. If ambient conditions

continue to be cold after the system primes, the aftertreatment

DEF controller will command a maintenance heating feature to

prevent the DEF dosing unit from refreezing. This feature will

cycle the heating on and off to the DEF lines, DEF tank, and

aftertreatment DEF dosing unit.
