Abstract: A method and system for operating an aftertreatment system of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. A value of a storage efficiency for the lean nitrogen-oxide trap is determined. A value of an exhaust gas temperature is measured upstream of the lean nitrogen-oxide trap. An electric heated catalyst enabling condition may be fulfilled if the storage efficiency of the lean nitrogen-oxide trap is smaller than a threshold value thereof and the value of the exhaust gas temperature upstream of the lean nitrogen-oxide trap is greater than a lower threshold value and less than an upper threshold value. The electric heated catalyst is activated if the enabling condition is fulfilled. An inhibition enabling condition may be fulfilled if the value of storage efficiency is less than a second threshold value and the electric heated catalyst is deactivated and a denitrification of the lean nitrogen-oxides trap is started.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for regenerating a Lean NOx Trap in an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The internal combustion engine includes a Lean NOx Trap, a turbocharger having a turbine. An electronic control unit is configured to execute a regeneration event of the Lean NOx Trap, and regulate a position of an actuator affecting a rotating speed of the turbine using a closed-loop control strategy of an air pressure into an intake duct downstream of a compressor of the turbocharger and upstream of a throttle valve during the execution of the regeneration event.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for regenerating an after-treatment device associated with an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine. A lambda error control provides a lambda error signal based upon a measured lambda value and a predetermined lambda value indicative of rich operation. An after-injection map provides an after-injection preset based upon a speed and a torque of the internal combustion engine. A main injection map provides a torque-making main injection preset based upon the speed of the internal combustion engine and the torque of the internal combustion engine. A controller is configured to provide an after-injection quantity signal based upon the after-injection preset, the lambda error signal and a main injection quantity signal based upon the main injection preset and the lambda error signal such that the measured lambda value is maintained within a regeneration range.
