The present invention pertains to a process for diagnosing a catalytic converter processing the exhaust gases of a heat engine using a trap that stores and then reduces the nitrogen oxides (NOx) contained in these gases, these reductions being actuated as a function of the storage capacity of the trap. According to the present invention, such a process is characterized in that the oxygen ratio present in the exhaust gases downstream of the trap is measured by sensor, and in that the storage capacity of the trap is determined by considering the time needed for the sensor to detect a threshold oxygen ratio in these gases during a reduction of the nitrogen oxides (NOx).

System to reduce the amount of NOx in exhaust gases of a vehicle. The system includes a storage space 1 containing an agent, a SCR catalytic converter 5, an injection module 6c to inject the agent upstream of the converter, a heat exchanger 2 containing a porous matrix, a shutter or injector 11 to control the flow rate of the agent to the exchanger, a valve 12 between the storage space and exchanger, to transfer thermal energy to gases during the starting period. The shutter or injector controls the flow of agent into the exchanger during the starting period to raise its temperature, and is closed when gases have reached a certain temperature. The valve regulates exchanger pressure during a period at operating temperature and conveys the agent to storage space when the exchanger pressure is higher than storage space pressure.

A NOx trap is associated with oxidation catalyst-forming structure integrated in a common medium, and is located in an exhaust line of a motor vehicle diesel engine. The engine can be controlled at least with a rich mixture control strategy and with lean mixture control strategies of level 1 and level 2. The system acquires the temperatures upstream and downstream torn the trap, and on detecting a request to purge sulfate, it compares the temperatures with first and second curves for controlling operation of the engine with a rich mixture if the temperatures lie between said curve, and otherwise with a lean mixture. The system also compares the temperatures with third and fourth curves for controlling operation of the engine to apply the level 2 strategy if the temperatures lie between said curves, Or otherwise to apply the level 1 strategy.
