    摘要: In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a method to operate an internal combustion engine equipped with an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) with memory, an exhaust system including a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), upstream of a Selective Catalyst Reducer (SCR). A doser is in the DPF and actuated by commands from the ECU. The method includes sensors at the DPF and SCR electronically connected to the ECU to transmit data signals indicative of operating conditions at the DPF and SCR. The method includes sensing the temperature at an outlet of the DPF and an inlet at the SCR, determining whether that temperature is at least a predetermined temperature for a predetermined period of time, and introducing heat to the SCR to raise its temperature to a predetermined level for a predetermined period of time, such as light off temperature, to operate more efficiently. Heat may be introduced in the exhaust stream by engine thermal management strategies as well.

    摘要: A method for controlling an internal combustion engine (10) is provided. The engine (10) includes an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system (18, 20). The method includes determining an air mass flow rate through the intake manifold at a location upstream of the exhaust gas introduction, and determining an engine volumetric efficiency based on an engine speed and an intake manifold air density. An EGR flow rate is determined based on the volumetric efficiency, the intake manifold air density, an engine displacement volume, the engine speed, and the intake manifold air mass flow rate. The engine (10) is controlled based on the EGR flow rate. Preferred techniques for determining engine volumetric efficiency and EGR flow rate are also provided.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for evaluating an ammonia conversion efficiency of an ammonia oxidation (AMOX) catalyst for reducing ammonia and hydrocarbons present in an exhaust gas stream. The AMOX associated with an exhaust gas after-treatment system has a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst for reducing nitrogen oxides (NOX) present in the exhaust gas stream and a dosing system for introducing a reductant into the exhaust gas stream for reacting with the nitrogen oxides in the presence of the SCR catalyst. The AMOX catalyst is arranged downstream of the SCR catalyst.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine includes first and second exhaust paths, and a first NOx adsorber located in the first exhaust path. A flow control valve controls the relative amounts of exhaust gas flowing through the first and second exhaust paths. A first injector injects a reductant into the exhaust gas stream. The injector is located so as to inject the reductant at a location adjacent to the flow control valve to cause mixing of the reductant and the exhaust gas and to allow regeneration of the first NOx adsorber.
