    摘要: The disclosure provides a method and a device for closed-loop control of a temperature of a component in an exhaust-gas tract of an internal combustion engine. The exhaust-gas tract has a temperature sensor arranged upstream of the component. The method includes providing a control circuit for the closed-loop control of the temperature of the component and detecting a measurement signal by the temperature sensor during the operation of the internal combustion engine. The measurement signal is characteristic of an exhaust-gas temperature. The measurement signal is used as a measured controlled variable for the control circuit for the closed-loop control of the temperature of the component. The method also includes determining a temperature model for the exhaust-gas temperature of the exhaust gas upstream of the component. The temperature model is used as a predictor for the control circuit. Also, a modeled controlled variable is provided from the temperature model.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a method for determining the icing condition of a component of the exhaust-gas system of a motor vehicle that is not arranged directly in the exhaust-gas mass flow and/or of the feed line of the component. The method includes: determining a water quantity actually present in the component and in the feed line thereof and the state of aggregation of the water quantity; determining an energy quantity required for deicing and for volatilizing the water quantity; and determining an energy quantity supplied for deicing and for volatilizing the water quantity by radiated heat from components arranged directly in the exhaust-gas mass flow of the exhaust-gas system of the motor vehicle to the surroundings. The method also includes determining the icing condition of the component by comparing the energy quantity supplied for deicing and for volatilization with the energy quantity required for deicing and for volatilization.
