Abstract:
A method for regenerating a lean NOx trap (LNT) of an exhaust purification system having the LNT and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst includes determining whether a regeneration release condition of the LNT is satisfied; determining whether a regeneration demand condition of the LNT is satisfied; and performing regeneration of the LNT if the regeneration release condition of the LNT and the regeneration demand condition of the LNT are satisfied, wherein satisfaction of the regeneration release condition of the LNT is determined based on an NOx amount absorbed in the LNT, an NH3 amount stored in the SCR catalyst and temperature at an upstream of the SCR catalyst.
Abstract:
A method of maintaining diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration for improving durability of a DPF, may include determining, by a controller, whether a vehicle enters an idle state during the DPF regeneration, controlling, by the controller, a concentration of oxygen introduced into the DPF to be equal to or less than a first reference value when the vehicle enters the idle state, and performing, by the controller, a regeneration process until a soot mass in the DPF may be equal to or less than a target reference value.
