Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include a method for performing diagnostics of a selective catalytic reduction (“SCR”) device in an exhaust gas treatment system of an internal combustion engine. The method includes monitoring an amount of sulfur in the SCR device of the exhaust treatment system and monitoring, by an SCR diagnostics module, an efficiency of the SCR device and indicating when the efficiency of the SCR device falls below an efficiency diagnostics threshold. Based on determining that the amount of sulfur in the SCR device is above a first threshold, the method includes disabling an operation of the SCR diagnostics module.

Abstract:
An engine assembly includes an exhaust system having a first SCR catalyst, a second SCR catalyst in fluid communication with the first SCR catalyst, and an injector configured to inject reductant into the exhaust system. A controller is configured to estimate a first amount of ammonia stored in the first SCR catalyst and to estimate a second amount of ammonia stored in the second SCR catalyst. The controller is operatively connected to the injector and configured to control the amount of reductant injected by the injector. The controller controls the injector based on the first amount, the second amount, and a temperature of a substrate disposed in the second SCR catalyst.
Abstract:
An exhaust gas treatment system for an internal combustion engine to control desulfurization of at least one aftertreatment device is provided. The exhaust gas treatment system includes a desulfurization mode trigger module, a desulfurization control module, and an interrupt module. The desulfurization mode trigger module is configured to set a desulfurization request based on one or more trigger conditions. The desulfurization control module is configured to control desulfurization of at least one aftertreatment device based on the desulfurization request. The interrupt module is configured to interrupt the desulfurization of at least one aftertreatment device based on an interrupt condition.
