Abstract

A reducing agent heating system. The reducing agent heating system provides a dual energy heating strategy using both an electric heater and an engine coolant line such that emission control may be promoted efficiently. The electric heater and engine coolant line are disposed in close proximity to the reducing agent such that efficient and quick thawing of frozen or freezing reducing agent is facilitated.
