    Abstract: A method is disclosed of providing a fuel efficient regeneration of an exhaust after-treatment (AT) system that includes a lean oxides of nitrogen (NOX) trap (LNT) and a selective catalytic reduction filter (SCRF) positioned downstream of the LNT. The method includes regulating a selectable position valve. The valve permits a first gas flow portion to pass through the LNT and diverts a remaining second portion of exhaust gas flow from a first passage connecting an engine and the AT system to a second exhaust passage to thereby bypass the LNT. The method also includes regulating a first device to inject fuel into the first portion of the exhaust gas flow. The injection of fuel in to the first portion of the exhaust gas flow provides fuel efficient regeneration of the LNT and promotes NOX conversion and ammonia (NH3) formation in the LNT. A system employing the method is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of treating an exhaust gas produced by a vehicle internal combustion engine includes conveying the gas through a first reactor including a non-thermal plasma. The gas includes nitric oxide and is transitionable between a first condition in which the gas has a cold-start temperature that is less than or equal to about 150° C., and a second condition in which the gas has an operating temperature that is greater than about 150° C. During the first condition, the method includes contacting the gas and plasma to oxidize the nitric oxide to nitrogen dioxide and form an effluent that includes nitrogen dioxide. The method includes concurrently conveying the effluent through a second reactor including a diesel oxidation catalyst, and storing the nitrogen dioxide within the second reactor during only the first condition. The method includes, after storing, releasing nitrogen dioxide from the second reactor during only the second condition.

    Abstract: A method of determining aging of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) in an engine exhaust system includes receiving a first sensor signal from a first nitrogen oxides (NOx) sensor positioned in exhaust flow upstream of the DOC. The first sensor signal is indicative of an amount of NOx in the exhaust flow upstream of the DOC. The method further includes receiving a second sensor signal from a second NOx sensor positioned in exhaust flow downstream of the DOC. The second sensor signal is indicative of an amount of NOx downstream of the DOC. A difference between the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal is calculated via a controller. A DOC aging level based on a predetermined correlation between the difference and DOC aging is then determined by the controller.
