Abstract

Implementations described herein relate to features for an integrated aftertreatment system. In one implementation, an integrated aftertreatment system comprises a casing that includes a mating flange having a first constant diameter and a catalyst component configured to mate to the mating flange of the casing. The catalyst component includes a canned body including a first portion sized to a second constant diameter to mate with the first constant diameter of the mating flange. In another implementation, an integrated aftertreatment system comprises a casing, a catalyst component positioned within the casing, a particulate filter having an outer casing with an outlet, and a particulate filter joint coupled to the outer casing of the particulate filter at the outlet. An end of the particulate filter joint is aligned with an end of the particulate filter.

Claims (8)

1. An integrated aftertreatment system comprising:

a casing comprising a mating flange having a first constant diameter opening; and

a catalyst component configured to mate to the mating flange of the casing, wherein the catalyst component comprises a catalyst material, a mat material, and a canned body, the canned body including a first portion sized to a second constant diameter to mate with the first constant diameter opening of the mating flange; a second portion sized to a third diameter based on a holding pressure exerted on the catalyst material by the mat material; and a third portion sized to the third diameter, and wherein the first portion is positioned between the second portion and the third portion and a length of the first portion is shorter than a length of the second portion.

2. The integrated aftertreatment system of claim 1 , wherein the holding pressure is based on a target gap bulk density for the mat material.

3. The integrated aftertreatment system of claim 1 , wherein the third diameter is less than the second constant diameter.

4. The integrated aftertreatment system of claim 1 , wherein the third diameter has a tolerance of ±3.4 mm.

5. The integrated aftertreatment system of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the canned body of the catalyst component is upstream of the first portion.

6. The integrated aftertreatment system of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the canned body of the catalyst component is downstream of the first portion.
