SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID DEMAND MONITOR

Abstract:

Systems, apparatuses, and methods include a plurality of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) dosing systems and a controller. The plurality of DEF dosing systems are in fluid communication with an exhaust gas stream and are structured to provide DEF to the exhaust gas stream. The controller is structured to: determine a commanded amount of DEF dispensed to the exhaust gas stream; determine an actual amount of DEF dispensed to the exhaust gas stream; determine a difference between the commanded amount of DEF and the actual amount of DEF; determine a value of a DEF variable indicative of an amount of DEF not dosed over a predetermined time period; compare the value of the DEF variable to a predetermined threshold; and indicate a fault alert in response to the value of the DEF variable exceeding the predetermined threshold.
