摘要:
A method for controlling a powertrain includes selectively initiating an ammonia generation cycle including injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of an engine before a primary combustion event to a calibrated air fuel ratio in a range lean of stoichiometry based upon generation of NOx within the combustion chamber, injecting fuel into the powertrain after the primary combustion event based upon an overall air fuel ratio in a range rich of stoichiometry and resulting generation of molecular hydrogen, utilizing a hydrogen forming catalyst to reform the injected fuel, and utilizing a catalyst device between the engine and the selective catalytic reduction device to produce ammonia.

摘要:
An exhaust aftertreatment system that receives an exhaust flow from a lean-burn engine and a method for treating the exhaust flow are described. The exhaust aftertreatment system may include a three-way-catalyst, an oxidation catalyst, and a NH3—SCR catalyst. The three-way-catalyst passively generates NH3 from native NOX contained in the exhaust flow when an A/F mixture supplied to the engine is cycled from lean to rich. The generated NH3 is then stored in the NH3—SCR catalyst to facilitate NOX reduction when the A/F mixture supplied to the engine is cycled back to lean. The oxidation catalyst is located upstream of the NH3—SCR catalyst and operates to lower the NO to NO2 molar ratio of the NOX fed to the NH3—SCR catalyst. The oxidation catalyst comprises perovskite oxide particles.
摘要:
An exhaust gas aftertreatment system for treating an engine-out exhaust gas feedstream of a spark-ignition direct-injection engine includes a multi-stage catalytic converter comprising a converter inlet, a converter outlet, and a substrate having a first end associated with the converter inlet and a second end associated with the converter outlet. The substrate further includes a multiplicity of flow passages between the first and second ends of the substrate, a first surface location corresponding to the first end of the substrate, and a second surface location corresponding to the second end of the substrate. A first washcoat stage is applied to the substrate at the first surface location corresponding to the first end of the substrate. A second washcoat stage is applied to the substrate at the second surface location corresponding to the second end of the substrate. The first and second washcoat stages include washcoats formulated to generate hydrogen and ammonia from the engine-out exhaust gas feedstream. An ammonia-selective catalytic reduction device is downstream of the first and second washcoat stages.

Engine exhaust gas feedstream NOx emissions aftertreatment includes a catalytic device connected upstream of an ammonia-selective catalytic reduction device including a base metal. Engine operation can be modulated to generate an engine-out exhaust gas feedstream that converts to ammonia on the catalytic device. The ammonia is stored on the ammonia-selective catalytic reduction device, and used to reduce NOx emissions in the exhaust gas feedstream.
