摘要:
The invention is directed to a control of an air/fuel ratio during operation of an internal combustion engine having a catalytic converter and an NOx sensor mounted behind the catalytic converter as seen in flow direction. The engine is operated alternately in a first phase with a mixture which is deficient in fuel compared to the stoichiometric mixture composition and, in a second phase, with a stoichiometric or rich mixture composition. The triggering of the change between the two phases is influenced by the signal of the NOx sensor.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine in particular for a motor vehicle is described, which is provided with a storage catalytic converter, which is filled with and emptied of nitrogen oxides. Using the control unit, a plurality of aging conditions of the storage catalytic converter can be determined. Using the control unit, a reversible aging curve and a non-reversible aging curve can be determined from the aging conditions.
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.
摘要:
A method for operating a catalytic converter arranged in the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. The composition of exhaust gas being controlled in front of the catalytic converter by adding a reducing agent that promotes the regeneration of the catalytic converter. The composition of the exhaust gas being detected with the aid of an exhaust-gas sensor positioned downstream from the catalytic converter. A time lag between the start of controlling the composition of the exhaust gas in front of the catalytic converter and the detection of a change in the composition after the catalytic converter are evaluated. In order to be able to determine the end of a regeneration phase of the catalytic converter in a safe and reliable manner, the gradient of an output signal of the exhaust-gas sensor is evaluated.
摘要:
A method is presented for controlling the supply of reducing agent to a NOx-storage catalytic converter of an internal combustion engine, which is operated at least at times with a lean air/fuel mixture, with an exhaust-gas sensor mounted in flow direction rearward of the NOx-storage catalytic converter; wherein the supply of the reducing agent takes place repeatedly in time intervals separate from each other; and wherein the reducing agent quantity, which is supplied in each time interval, is reduced compared to that quantity which is supplied in a previous supply phase in which a reaction of the exhaust-gas sensor occurred.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine, especially for a motor vehicle, is described, which is provided with a storage catalytic converter which can be loaded with and unloaded of nitrogen oxides. Several states of deterioration (points 13) of the storage catalytic converter can be determined by the control apparatus. A sulphur content of the fuel used can be determined by the control apparatus from sequential states of deterioration (points 13).
摘要:
The disclosure is directed to a method for improving the exhaust-gas quality, which is reduced by sulfur influence, in combustion processes with exhaust-gas catalytic converters. In the method, the oxygen storage capability of the catalytic converter is determined and is compared to a threshold value. When there is a drop below the threshold value, the exhaust-gas temperature is increased and/or an exhaust-gas composition, which acts in a reducing manner, is generated forward of the catalytic converter.
摘要:
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:
A tank venting device for motor vehicles having an internal combustion engine supplied from a fuel tank. The device includes a filter housing, which is connectable to a venting stub of the fuel tank and includes an adsorption filter, whose air inlet is occupied by a shutoff valve and whose air outlet communicates with an intake tube of the engine, and an air feed pump and a diagnosis device. To improve the metering capability for the regeneration mixture aspirated from the filter to the intake tube of the engine, the air feed pump is disposed with a reversible feeding direction between the air outlet of the filter housing and the intake tube of the engine. The air feed pump is controlled in its feeding direction reversal via a multiposition control valve such that the filter housing is located on the intake side of the air feed pump for the duration of filter regeneration, and on the pressure side of the air feed pump for the duration of error diagnosis.
摘要:
The invention is directed to a method for checking the operability of a tank-venting valve which is connected in a venting line of a tank-venting apparatus between the intake pipe of the internal combustion engine and an adsorption filter equipped with a venting line. The tank-venting valve can be driven into two switching states, namely, an open state and a closed state. The method includes the steps of: driving the tank-venting valve to reach one of the two selectable switching states; checking the pressure on the end of the tank-venting valve facing away from the intake pipe and checking whether this pressure exhibits a time-dependent trace as it cannot occur in the desired switching state; and, concluding that a defect in the tank-venting valve is present when the condition checked in the previous step is satisfied. With this method, the operability of a simple tank-venting valve can be reliably checked. The method requires no special mechanical, capacitive or inductive checking arrangement.
