    摘要: The present invention is directed at the integration of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) into the exhaust stream of an internal combustion engine aided by the upstream injection of a fuel, such as a hydrocarbon fuel. The internal combustion engine may be advantageously operated in a lean condition while the SOFC receives the hydrocarbon fuel to promote and maintain optimized fuel cell operation.

    摘要: A holding device for an injection valve of an exhaust-gas burner of a motor vehicle includes a receiving section and a cooling-water jacket. The receiving section is shaped such that it can receive a front end of the injection valve. The cooling-water jacket extends around the receiving section and is shaped such that, after the holding device has been mounted on the exhaust-gas burner, the cooling-water jacket, together with a corresponding cooling-water jacket of the exhaust-gas burner, forms a cooling-water chamber of the exhaust-gas burner.

    摘要: A vehicle engine system includes an internal combustion engine, an air induction system configured to supply intake air to the internal combustion engine, and an evaporative emissions control (EVAP) system is configured to selectively supply purge fuel vapor to the EHC for subsequent combustion and rapid heating to a predetermined catalyst light-off temperature. The system additionally includes a booster configured to charge the intake air, and an engine bypass conduit fluidly coupled between the booster and the exhaust aftertreatment system. When the internal combustion engine is off, the booster selectively supplies a flow of intake air through the engine bypass conduit to the exhaust aftertreatment system. The flow of intake air draws purge fuel vapor from the EVAP system into the exhaust aftertreatment system.
