Abstract: A computer system is structured to determine a density of particulate matter in a diesel particulate filter (DPF) sample. The computer system includes a processing circuit having a processor and a memory. The processing circuit is structured to generate a computed tomography (CT) scan-based image of the DPF sample; and, segment the CT scan-based image of the DPF sample into a plurality of regions. For at least one region from the plurality of regions, the processing circuit is structured to determine a density of a portion of the DPF sample corresponding to the at least one region of the CT scan-based image of the DPF sample and cause an electronic display of a user device to display the CT scan-based image including the at least one region and an indication of the density for the at least one region.

Abstract: A system includes a controller for an exhaust aftertreatment system including a SCR catalyst in exhaust gas-receiving communication with an engine and at least one reductant dosing system structured to provide reductant to the exhaust gas. The controller is structured to determine a ratio of NO to NO2 at or proximate an inlet of the SCR catalyst. The controller is further structured to command the at least one reductant dosing system to increase, decrease, or maintain an amount of reductant provided to the exhaust gas based on comparing the ratio of NO to NO2 to a previous NO to NO2 ratio.

Abstract: A method for operating an engine fueling system to manage fuel in an accumulator supplying fuel to an engine including multiple cylinders comprising monitoring fuel load in the accumulator, determining that the engine is operating in a cylinder deactivation mode such as a skip-fire mode during which one or more fueling events to one or more of the cylinders is being skipped, and controlling a supply of fuel from a fuel pump to the accumulator during the cylinder deactivation mode operation. In embodiments, controlling the supply of fuel includes causing fuel to be supplied from the fuel pump to the accumulator if the monitored fuel load is less than or equal to a first fuel load, and causing fuel to be not supplied from the fuel pump to the accumulator if the monitored fuel load is greater than the first load value. Controlling the supply of fuel may comprise controlling the supply of fuel during each fueling event cycle of each deactivated cylinder.
