Abstract
A system for assembling an exhaust after-treatment assembly having a plurality of exhaust after-treatment blocks is described. Each of the plurality of exhaust after-treatment blocks is disposed adjacent to at least one other exhaust after-treatment block. Each exhaust after-treatment block has one or more catalyst substrates. Each catalyst substrate includes a first face, a second face, and a plurality of side faces. The system includes at least one flange member to surround the one or more catalyst substrates about the side faces. The system further includes a locking arrangement including one or more clips on the flange member and a bracket member configured to engage with the one or more clips in the flange members of the adjacent exhaust after-treatment blocks.
