摘要: Method for controlling and/or monitoring the performance of selective catalytic reduction devices (SCR) and systems incorporating the same are provided. Systems can include a SCR configured to receive reductant at a variable dosing rate, an upstream NOx sensor, and a downstream NOx sensor. Methods can include correlating a SCR reductant dosing signal direction with a SCR downstream NOx signal direction, and determining one or more of NOx breakthrough through the SCR and reductant slip through the SCR. Methods can further comprise identifying reductant slip through the SCR using an upstream NOx sensor signal and a downstream NOx sensor signal. Methods can further comprise comparing an upstream NOx signal to a downstream NOx signal, determining a system objective, and adapting the SCR reductant dosing rate to achieve the system objective in order to identify a faulty upstream NOx sensor.

摘要: An exhaust emission control system of an internal combustion engine may include a filter, a temperature raising device, a differential pressure detecting device, and an electronic control unit. The filter may include a first region as a part of the filter, and a second region as another part of the filter. The electronic control unit may be configured to calculate a first deposition amount such that a calculated deposition amount is larger as a proportion of a magnitude of the first differential pressure reduction amount to the length of the first oxidation period is larger. The electronic control unit may be configured to calculate an amount of the particulate matter deposited in the second region based on a length of the second oxidation period and a second differential pressure reduction amount.

摘要: Disclosed are model predictive control (MPC) systems, methods for using such MPC systems, and motor vehicles with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) employing MPC control. An SCR-regulating MPC control system is disclosed that includes an NOx sensor for detecting nitrogen oxide (NOx) input received by the SCR system, catalyst NOx sensors for detecting NOx output for two SCR catalysts, and catalyst NH3 sensors for detecting ammonia (NH3) slip for each SCR catalyst. The MPC system also includes a control unit programmed to: receive desired can conversion efficiencies for the SCR catalysts; determine desired can NOx outputs for the SCR catalysts; determine maximum NH3 storage capacities for the SCR catalyst; calculate the current can conversion efficiency for each SCR catalyst; calculate an optimized reductant pulse-width and/or volume from the current can conversion efficiencies; and, command an SCR dosing injector to inject a reductant into an SCR conduit based on the calculated pulse-width/volume.

摘要: An aftertreatment device for reducing NOx, PM, HC, and CO generated by a compression-ignition engine. In this device, lean exhaust air generated in the engine is enriched using a reactor together with an oxygen sorption device according to a target deNOx efficiency value, and heat energy is recovered. The enriched exhaust gas then passes through an oxidation catalyst, where NOx is reduced with CO and HC. PM in the exhaust gas is further trapped in a DPF. To lower energy cost, an heat exchanger is used for more effectively heating the DPF during regeneration, and an exhaust gas compressor positioned upstream from the DPF is employed to control engine back pressure. When exhaust gas temperature is low, to regenerate the DPF with minimum energy consumption, an electrical heater is used to heat dosing fuel before it is mixed with exhaust gas, and a regeneration heating process is then jump-started.

摘要: A three-way catalyst, an NSR catalyst, and an SCR catalyst are provided in this order for an exhaust gas passage, wherein the air-fuel ratio (AFR) is set to a first AFR which is a rich AFR before the AFR is switched from a theoretical AFR to a lean AFR, and then the AFR is set to a second AFR which is higher than the first AFR and lower than the theoretical AFR if a NOx occlusion amount is less than a threshold value during a period until an NH3 adsorption amount of the SCR catalyst becomes a predetermined adsorption amount, while the AFR is set to a third AFR which is higher than the first AFR and lower than the second AFR if the NOx occlusion amount is not less than the threshold value.

摘要: A method is disclosed for optimizing fuel economy during an engine warm up phase of operation of an internal combustion engine. An exhaust manifold may have a coolant jacket through which a coolant may flow. A temperature of the coolant in the exhaust manifold may be determined to detect when it is at a predetermined maximum threshold, which represents a temperature threshold just below a temperature at which the coolant will begin to boil. When this threshold is reached, then a determination may be made as to a minimum rate of flow of the coolant through the exhaust manifold which maintains the coolant at about the predetermined maximum threshold, and the coolant may be flowed through the exhaust manifold at the determined minimum rate of flow.

摘要: An exhaust purification system comprises an exhaust purification catalyst, a downstream side air-fuel ratio sensor and a control device. The control device makes the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas change to an air-fuel ratio at a rich side from the prior air-fuel ratio as air-fuel ratio rich increasing control when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is made a rich air-fuel ratio and the output air-fuel ratio of the downstream side air-fuel ratio sensor is maintained at a lean judged air-fuel ratio or more, and judges that the downstream side air-fuel ratio sensor suffers from an abnormality, when, due to the air-fuel ratio rich increasing control, the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is made to change to the rich side air-fuel ratio and the output air-fuel ratio of the downstream side air-fuel ratio sensor changes to the lean side.
