ABSTRACT:
A single lean NOx trap (8) has an inlet manifold (10) with baffles (18–20) to divide the inlet manifold into three flow paths (11–13). Each flow path has a thermal reformer (24–26; CPO, (POX, or ATR) with an electric heater provided electric power by related lines (29–31). Fuel from a source (50) is controlled (45–46) to apply pulses of fuel through nozzles (40–42) into each corresponding path (11–13) in turn. A plurality of diesel particulate filters (14) are disposed in the flow paths (11–13) upstream of the lean NOx trap (8). A diesel oxidation catalyst (53) is disposed downstream of the lean NOx trap.
