    摘要: A method of heating a cabin of a motor vehicle that includes an internal combustion engine operatively connected to an exhaust system having a catalyst, and a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is provided. The method includes detecting a request to increase temperature inside the cabin, supplying fuel and air to the engine, and motoring the engine to pump the fuel and air into the exhaust system. The method also includes heating the catalyst to combust the fuel and air inside the catalyst such that a stream of post-combustion exhaust gas is generated. The method additionally includes channeling the generated stream of post-combustion exhaust gas to the HVAC system such that a temperature of a coolant circulated through the HVAC system is increased to heat the cabin. A system configured to perform the above method is also disclosed.

    摘要: A hybrid vehicle includes an exhaust gas treatment system having a bypass valve for directing a flow of air or exhaust gas through a bypass path or through a primary catalyst. The hybrid vehicle includes an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, each selectively engageable with a transmission to provide a drive torque. The electric motor spins the internal combustion engine when engaged to provide the drive torque, thereby creating a flow of unheated air from the internal combustion engine that flows through the exhaust gas treatment system. The bypass valve directs the flow of air through the bypass path when the engine is spinning and not fueled to prevent cooling of the primary catalyst. The bypass valve directs the flow of exhaust gas through the primary catalyst when the internal combustion engine is spinning and is being fueled, i.e., running, to treat the flow of exhaust gas.

    摘要: An emissions control method may include operating a hybrid vehicle in a first mode during which a combustion engine is off and an electric motor powers propulsion of the vehicle. An electrically heated catalyst (EHC) may be energized during the first mode. The method may further include determining an operating temperature of an additional catalyst in communication with exhaust gas from the combustion engine and operating the vehicle in a second mode after the first mode during which the engine powers propulsion of the vehicle. The engine may operate in a catalyst combustion mode during the second mode when the operating temperature is below a first predetermined limit. The catalyst combustion mode may include operating the engine at an air-fuel ratio of less than stoichiometry and injecting air into exhaust gas from the engine at a location before the additional catalyst to create an exothermic reaction within the additional catalyst.
