摘要:
A method and apparatus for purifying an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine includes an ammonia generating catalyst for generating ammonia from nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas to be purified, and a nitrogen oxide reducing catalyst downstream of the ammonia generating catalyst, for reduction of nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas to be purified. Generated ammonia is used as the reducing agent. A nitrogen oxide adsorption catalyst is arranged upstream of the ammonia generating catalyst, or the ammonia generating catalyst is arranged in an exhaust pipe branch which pertains to only a part of several separately controllable internal-combustion sources. One or more additional exhaust pipe branches assigned to the other internal-combustion sources and lead to the nitrogen oxide reducing catalyst, while bypassing the ammonia generating catalyst. The part of the internal-combustion sources pertaining to the exhaust pipe branch of which contains the ammonia generating catalyst is operated either continuously or intermittently in a rich mode. Also, one or more combustion sources which feed their exhaust gas to the nitrogen oxide adsorption catalyst may be operated alternately in a lean and rich mode.

An exhaust gas aftertreatment installment and associated exhaust gas aftertreatment method utilizes a nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converter and an SCR catalytic converter. A particulate filter is provided upstream of the nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converter or between the latter and the SCR catalytic converter or downstream of the SCR catalytic converter. The time of regeneration operating phases of the nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converter can be determined as a function of the nitrogen oxide content of the exhaust gas downstream of the nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converter or of the SCR catalytic converter and/or as a function of the ammonia loading of the latter. Moreover, a desired ammonia generation quantity can be determined for a respective regeneration operating phase. The installation and method are adopted for use for motor vehicle internal combustion engines and other engines which are operated predominantly in lean-burn mode.

A method for operating a multicylinder internal combustion engine with at least one adsorber catalytic converter in the exhaust line of the internal combustion engine includes operating the adsorber catalytic converter with periodically alternating adsorption and desorption operation. The exhaust leaving the adsorber catalytic converter in desorption operation is recycled and/or an oxidation catalytic converter is provided upstream of the adsorber catalytic converter. Exhaust recycling takes place occurs selectively in only one set of the cylinders of the internal combustion engine and this set of cylinders is operated in a state of incomplete combustion during desorption operation. Rich afterburning may be performed during desorption operation of the adsorber catalytic converter in the oxidation catalytic converter connected upstream and the oxidation catalytic converter is operated at an increased temperature during short regeneration phases to remove soot.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine includes an exhaust-gas aftertreatment device, and an operating method is for operating the internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine is operable with a lean mixture and a rich mixture, the internal combustion engine having an exhaust-gas aftertreatment device, which includes a nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converter and a particle filter. When lean exhaust gas flows through the nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converter, it removes nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gas by storing them, and, when reducing exhaust gas flows through the nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converter, it produces ammonia through reduction of stored and/or supplied nitrogen oxides and releases it to the exhaust gas. Downstream from the nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converter, the exhaust-gas aftertreatment device includes a SCR catalytic converter, which reduces nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas, using ammonia produced by the nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converter.
摘要:
An exhaust-gas cleaning system for cleaning exhaust gas from a combustion source so as to remove at least nitrogen oxides contained therein is provided. An ammonia-generation catalytic converter for generating ammonia uses constituents of at least some of the exhaust gas emitted from the combustion source during ammonia-generation operating phases. A downstream nitrogen oxide reduction catalytic converter is provided for reducing nitrogen oxides which are contained in the exhaust gas emitted from the combustion source using the ammonia generated as the reducing agent. According to the invention, a plasma generator for using plasma technology to generate reactive particles, which promote the ammonia-generation reaction, from constituents of the exhaust gas fed to the ammonia-generation catalytic converter during the ammonia-generation operating phases is connected upstream of the ammonia-generation catalytic converter. This ensures that sufficient ammonia is generated even at relatively low exhaust-gas temperatures.
