摘要: An adaptive catalytic monitoring method for an engine having two engine banks each coupled to one of two catalytic converters uses first and second exhaust gas oxygen sensors respectively upstream and downstream of one catalytic converter. Third and fourth exhaust gas oxygen sensors are respectively coupled upstream and downstream of the other catalytic converter. Switch ratios are determined for each of the engine banks based the switching ratios of each upstream and downstream pair of exhaust gas oxygen sensors, with the switch ratio being adjusted by an adjustment gain that is a function of airflow and a catalytic converter characteristic. A combination of the adjusted switch ratios is used to determine overall catalytic converter system performance.

摘要: An on-board diagnostic test for an exhaust gas oxygen sensor includes sensing the output of the oxygen sensor and summing the output over a specified period to determine the length of the trace of the sensor voltage versus time. Such length over a given time period indicates the activity of the sensor. This data is compared to a threshold to determine if the exhaust gas oxygen sensor meets certain performance requirements.

摘要: A system and method of normalizing an emissions threshold catalytic brick 302 without a mileage accumulation step is used to evaluate an on-board diagnostics for an exhaust system. The method comprises normalizing a emissions threshold catalytic brick 302 by placing the emissions threshold catalytic brick 302 in a exhaust gas circulation oven, such as a retort chamber 300, immediately after an oven-aging and chemical aging process wherein the emissions threshold catalytic brick 302 is saturated with a exhaust gas at a predetermined rate and at a predetermined temperature for a specified period of time based upon the characteristics desired for the emissions threshold catalytic brick. Additionally, a method for evaluating on-board diagnostics of an exhaust system using an emissions threshold catalytic brick 302 based upon the characteristics of the exhaust system that it will be placed in is also contemplated.

摘要: A method for determining the effectiveness of a catalyst to remove emissions from the exhaust of an internal combustion engine. The method includes measuring an upstream time history of a signal produced by an exhaust gas oxygen sensor upstream of the converter and a time history of an exhaust gas oxygen sensor disposed downstream of the converter. The time histories vary between a lean air-fuel ratio signal level and a rich air-fuel ratio signal level. A time delay is determined between the upstream time history and the downstream time history during transitions in such time histories from the lean air-fuel ratio signal level to the rich air-fuel ratio signal level. The determined time delay is compared with a reference time delay to determine the efficiency of the converter. The converter is determined to be ineffective if the converter as been determined to be potentially ineffective and the time delay is determined to be less than the reference time delay.

摘要: A method for determining the effectiveness of a catalyst having both first, relatively high oxidizable material provided to remove emissions from the exhaust of an internal combustion engine and a second, relatively low oxidizable material provided to remove emissions from such exhaust. The method includes measure a difference in oxygen content upstream and downstream of the catalyst while the engine is producing the exhaust to determine the effectiveness of the first material and determining the effectiveness of the second material by comparing time delay in a property of the exhaust as such exhaust passes through the catalyst. In one embodiment, the property of the exhaust is the oxygen content in such exhaust. In one embodiment, the effectiveness of the second material is measured after the first material is determined to be ineffective.
