Abstract

An exhaust conduit assembly includes: an exhaust conduit body defining an exhaust flow path; an injection aperture extending through the exhaust conduit body; and a doser mount portion including: an inlet port configured to receive a coolant, a channel configured to receive the coolant from the inlet port, at least a portion of the channel extending around at least a portion of the injection aperture, the channel including a first section and a second section, and an outlet port configured to receive the coolant from the channel. The doser mount portion defines a cavity configured to receive at least a portion of a dosing module and a ridge defines a base of the cavity, wherein the first portion of the channel is disposed adjacent to the cavity and the second portion of the channel is disposed adjacent to the ridge.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An exhaust conduit assembly comprising:
an exhaust conduit body defining an exhaust flow path; an injection aperture extending through the exhaust conduit body; and a doser mount portion comprising:
an inlet port configured to receive a coolant,
a channel configured to receive the coolant from the inlet port, at least a portion of the channel extending around at least a portion of the injection aperture, the channel comprising a first section and a second section, and
an outlet port configured to receive the coolant from the channel,
wherein the doser mount portion defines a cavity configured to receive at least a portion of a dosing module and a ridge defines a base of the cavity, wherein the first portion of the channel is disposed adjacent to the cavity and the second portion of the channel is disposed adjacent to the ridge.

2 . The exhaust conduit assembly of claim 1 , wherein the doser mount portion is integrally formed with the exhaust conduit body.

3 . The exhaust conduit assembly of claim 1 , wherein at least the portion of the channel extends around an entirety of the injection aperture.

4 . The exhaust conduit assembly of claim 1 , wherein the inlet port and the outlet port are both disposed on a top face of the doser mount portion or both extend from a side of the doser mount portion.

5 . The exhaust conduit assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:
a support wall that at least partially defines an air gap, the support wall separating the channel from the air gap.

6 . The exhaust conduit assembly of claim 5 , wherein the air gap is defined by an inner wall and an outer wall, the inner wall being the exhaust conduit body, and the outer wall separated from inner wall by the support wall.

7 . The exhaust conduit assembly of claim 6 , wherein the outer wall extends around a portion of the inner wall.

8 . The exhaust conduit assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first support wall at least partially defining a first air gap, the first support wall separating the first air gap from a first section of the channel; and a second support wall at least partially defining a second air gap, the second support wall separating the second air gap from a second section of the channel; wherein: the exhaust conduit body comprises an inlet and an outlet; the first air gap is disposed between the first section of the channel and the inlet of the exhaust conduit body; and the second air gap is disposed between the second section of the channel and the outlet of the exhaust conduit body.

9 . An exhaust aftertreatment system comprising:
a doser comprising an injector; and the exhaust conduit assembly of claim 1 ; wherein the doser is coupled to the doser mount portion such that the injector is configured to provide reductant through the injection aperture and into the exhaust conduit body.

10 . The exhaust aftertreatment system of claim 9 , wherein:
the doser mount portion defines a cavity extending around the injection aperture; and a portion of the doser is received within the cavity.

11 . An exhaust aftertreatment system comprising:
a doser comprising an injector; an exhaust conduit assembly comprising:
an exhaust conduit body defining an exhaust flow path;
an injection aperture extending through the exhaust conduit body; and
a doser mount portion comprising:
an inlet port configured to receive a coolant,
a channel configured to receive the coolant from the inlet port, at least a portion of the channel extending around at least a portion of the injection aperture, and
an outlet port configured to receive the coolant from the channel; and

a turbocharger configured to receive the coolant and an exhaust;
wherein the turbocharger and the exhaust conduit assembly are configured such that the exhaust conduit assembly receives the exhaust from the turbocharger and the inlet port receives the coolant from the turbocharger; and
wherein the doser is coupled to the doser mount portion such that the injector is configured to provide reductant through the injection aperture and into the exhaust conduit body.

12 . The exhaust aftertreatment system of claim 11 , wherein the turbocharger includes a housing that is integrally formed with the exhaust conduit assembly.

13 . An exhaust aftertreatment system comprising:
a doser comprising an injector; an exhaust conduit assembly comprising:
an exhaust conduit body defining an exhaust flow path;
an injection aperture extending through the exhaust conduit body; and
a doser mount portion comprising:
an inlet port configured to receive a coolant,
a channel configured to receive the coolant from the inlet port, at least a portion of the channel extending around at least a portion of the injection aperture, and
an outlet port configured to receive the coolant from the channel; and

a water pump configured to receive the coolant;
wherein the water pump and the exhaust conduit assembly are configured such that the water pump receives the coolant from the outlet port; and
wherein the doser is coupled to the doser mount portion such that the injector is configured to provide reductant through the injection aperture and into the exhaust conduit body.

14 . The exhaust aftertreatment system of claim 9 , wherein:
the exhaust conduit assembly comprises:
an inner wall,
a support wall coupled to the inner wall and extending radially away from the inner wall, and
an outer wall coupled to the support wall, the outer wall separated from the inner wall by the support wall such that an air gap extends between the outer wall and the inner wall.

15 . The exhaust aftertreatment system of claim 14 , wherein the support wall separates the air gap from the channel.

16 . The exhaust aftertreatment system of claim 9 , further comprising:
a turbocharger configured to receive exhaust; and a coolant source configured to store the coolant; wherein the exhaust conduit assembly receives the exhaust from the turbocharger; and wherein the exhaust conduit assembly receives the coolant from the coolant source.

17 . An exhaust conduit assembly comprising:
an exhaust conduit body defining an exhaust flow path, the exhaust conduit body comprising an inlet and an outlet; a support wall extending radially away from the exhaust conduit body; an outer wall extending around a portion of the exhaust conduit body, the outer wall separated from the exhaust conduit body by the support wall; an injection aperture extending through the exhaust conduit body; and a doser mount portion defining a cavity that extends around the injection aperture, the cavity to receive a portion of a doser; wherein the exhaust conduit body, the support wall, and the outer wall define at least one air gap, the at least one air gap disposed between the doser mount portion and at least one of the inlet or the outlet of the exhaust conduit body.

18 . The exhaust conduit assembly of claim 17 , further comprising:
an inlet port configured to receive a coolant; a channel configured to receive the coolant from the inlet port, at least a portion of the channel extending around at least a portion of the injection aperture; and an outlet port configured to receive the coolant from the channel.

19 . The exhaust conduit assembly of claim 17 , wherein the support wall separates the at least one air gap from the channel.
