摘要:
An internal combustion engine (1), especially for a motor vehicle, is described, which has a three-way catalytic converter (12″) and a storage catalytic converter (12′) which can be loaded with and unloaded of nitrogen oxides. A diagnosis of the storage catalytic converter (12′) is carried out by a control apparatus (18) below a temperature at which the three-way catalytic converter (12″) does not yet operate.

An internal combustion engine (1), especially for a motor vehicle, is described, which has a catalytic converter (12) which can be loaded with and unloaded of nitrogen oxides. An NOx sensor (14) is provided with which NOx emissions can be measured downstream of the catalytic converter (12). The catalytic converter (12) can be only partially loaded by a control apparatus (18). An increased NOx emission can be generated forward of or in the catalytic converter (12) by the control apparatus (18). A conclusion can be drawn as to the operability of the catalytic converter (12) by the control apparatus (18) from NOx emissions measured downstream.
摘要:
The invention is directed to diagnosing a catalytic converter capable of storing nitrogen oxides and mounted in the exhaust-gas system of an internal combustion engine. A signal-emitting exhaust-gas probe is provided rearward of the catalytic converter and the exhaust gas forward of the catalytic converter is influenced by increasing components in the exhaust gas which are effective as a reducer thereby triggering a change of the signal. The time elapsed between the start of the influencing and the change of the signal is evaluated to diagnose the catalytic converter.

The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for diagnosing a catalytic converter arranged in the exhaust-gas system of an internal combustion engine. The catalytic converter is configured to have an oxygen storage capability and a nitrogen oxide storage capability. A first exhaust-gas probe is mounted rearward of the catalytic converter and a second exhaust-gas probe is mounted forward thereof. The oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas forward of the catalytic converter is alternately increased and decreased so that the signals of both exhaust-gas probes change. A first phase shift between the signals of both exhaust-gas probes is detected when the oxygen concentration increases and a second phase shift between the signals is detected when the oxygen concentration decreases. The difference of the phase shifts is determined and a fault signal is outputted and/or stored when this difference does not reach a pregiven threshold.

A coating system and a method for its manufacture are provided. An electrically conductive base coat and a porous overcoat lying over the base coat are arranged on a ceramic substrate. At least one additional deposited layer is arranged on the base coat in such a way that the additional layer is formed in the pores of the porous overcoat adjacent to the base coat. The additional layer is deposited either by currentless or electrolytic deposition. For electrolytic deposition of the additional layer, the ceramic substrate sintered with the base coat and the overcoat is submerged in an electrolytic bath and the base coat is connected as a cathode. The currentless deposition takes place from a solution of the metal to be deposited with the addition of a reducing agent.

A gas sensor and a method for its manufacture are described. The gas sensor has a solid electrolyte having at least one measuring electrode and one porous protective coating. The measuring electrode has an electrically conductive base layer and a further layer, the further layer god being deposited in the pores of the porous protective coating adjacent to the base layer via galvanic deposition. In order to deposit the further layer via galvanic deposition, the basic body, which has been fused with the base layer and the protective coating via vitrification, is immersed in a galvanizing bath, the base layer being connected as the cathode.
摘要:
An oxygen sensor for determining the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas flow of an internal combustion engine. The sensor includes an outer electrode exposed to the exhaust side and a reference electrode exposed to the ambient air. In the sensor, a space adjacent to the reference electrode or surrounding the reference electrode has an adsorbing and/or absorbing agent, which is introduced, for example, in a loose powder packing or a multiple pellet packing. Other versions of the novel oxygen sensor also have an oxygen supplying material, such as, for example, Mn-oxide, Ba-oxide and/or Ce-oxide, to help promote combustion of exhaust gas components/pollutants and any residue chemicals left remaining from the sensor manufacturing process.
摘要:
The invention proposes a sensing element which serves to determine the concentration of oxidizable constituents in a gas mixture, in particular of hydrocarbons, NO, and NH3. Electrically conductive spinels of the general formula ABB′O4, or electrically conductive pseudobrookites of the general formula ABB′O5, serve in this context as the material for the measurement electrode.
