The present invention pertains to a control system for an internal combustion engine equipped with an exhaust gas purification apparatus including an NOx catalyst having an ability of reducing NOx and a particulate filter, and its object is to prevent deterioration in the acceleration performance while preventing an increase in exhaust emissions when the temperature of the NOx catalyst is low. The control system for an internal combustion engine according to the present invention includes an exhaust gas purification apparatus provided in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine and including an NOx catalyst having an ability of reducing NOx and a particulate filter, intake air quantity restriction means for restricting the intake air quantity in relation to the temperature of the NOx catalyst, fuel restriction means for restricting the fuel injection quantity in relation to the intake air quantity of the internal combustion engine, and trapped PM amount obtaining means for obtaining the amount of PM trapped in the particulate filter. When the amount of PM trapped in the particulate filter is not larger than a predetermined amount and the internal combustion engine is in an accelerating operation state, the control system corrects a restriction value of the fuel injection quantity in relation to the intake air quantity of the internal combustion engine and the temperature of the NOx catalyst.

Abstract:
During normal engine operation, a temporary determination mode is executed in which whether or not there is an air-fuel ratio variation among cylinders is determined on the basis of distortion in output waveform of an LAF sensor, concurrently with determination of deterioration of a three-way catalyst, under a control condition of normal learning sensitivity of the learned value of a stoichiometry correction factor. If it is determined in the temporary determination mode that there is an air-fuel ratio variation, the determination mode is switched to a main determination mode and the learning sensitivity of the learned value of the stoichiometry correction factor is set to the sensitive side to determine whether or not there is an air-fuel ratio variation among the cylinders with higher reliability on the basis of the learned value of the stoichiometry correction factor (=the value of an enrichment process counter C2) which increases rapidly due to the air-fuel ratio variation among the cylinders.

A method for timing of a regeneration process of an exhaust gas system of a vehicle engine includes collecting, during operation of the vehicle, data on an exhaust gas regeneration capability as a function of time, establishing, from the collected data, a statistical probability function for the exhaust gas regeneration capability as a function of time, and identifying, from the probability function, one or several time periods that statistically are suitable and/or unsuitable for carrying out a regeneration process.

Abstract:
A method of estimating soot loading in a diesel particulate filter (DPF) in a vehicle exhaust system includes estimating an engine-out soot rate using a first neural network that has a first set of vehicle operating conditions as inputs. The method further includes estimating DPF soot loading using a second neural network that has the estimated engine-out soot rate from the first neural network and a second set of vehicle operating conditions as inputs. Estimating the engine-out soot rate and estimating the DPF soot loading are performed by an electronic controller that executes the first and the second neural networks. The method also provides for training the first and second neural networks both offline (for initial settings of the neural networks in the vehicle), and online (when the vehicle is being used by a vehicle operator). An exhaust system has a controller that implements the method.

A system including a reductant source storing reductant, an ammonia generation system configured to generate gaseous ammonia via cavitation, and a gaseous ammonia delivery device in fluid communication with the ammonia generation system and an exhaust system. The system may selectively activate the ammonia generation system responsive to a detected temperature of an exhaust gas of an exhaust system being equal to or below a predetermined value. The ammonia generation system may utilize ultrasonic cavitation or laser cavitation to generate gaseous ammonia to be delivered to the exhaust system responsive to the temperature of the exhaust gas of the exhaust system being equal to or below the predetermined value. If the temperature of the exhaust gas of the exhaust system above the predetermined value, a dosing module to dose reductant to the exhaust system may be activated.
