20080216463 | Device for Removing Nitrogen Oxides From Internal Combustion Engine Waste Gas and Method for Dosing an Aggregate of Internal Combustion Engine Waste Gas - In a device and a method for removing nitrogen oxides from the exhaust of an internal combustion engine which is operated predominantly with an excess of air, the internal combustion engine is assigned an exhaust system having a nitrogen oxide reduction catalytic converter which comprises two catalytic converter parts, whose reducing agent filling levels can be determined. Metering of a reducing-agent-containing additive into the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine takes place as a function of the reducing agent filling level of the first catalytic converter part and/or of the second catalytic converter part. | 09-11-2008 |
20080314028 | Method For Operating an Internal Combustion Engine - In a method for operating an air-compressing fuel-injection internal combustion engine having an exhaust gas post-treatment system with a particle filter and a nitrogen oxide reduction catalytic converter, a plurality of internal combustion engine operating settings are provided, each having respective predefined values for predefined internal combustion engine operating parameters. A heating operating setting is set when the internal combustion engine is warming up, while a basic operating setting is set in the warmed-up, while a basic operating setting is set in the warmed-up state. When the temperature in the exhaust gas system exceeds a predefinable first value, the heating operating setting is changed over to the basic operating setting. In the warmed-up state, at least one further, (third) operating setting, with an exhaust gas recirculation rate that is reduced compared to the basic operating setting, is provided in addition to the basic operating setting. | 12-25-2008 |
20110113752 | Method for Operating an Exhaust Gas Treatment System Having an SCR Catalytic Converter - In a system with an SCR catalytic converter, a correction by a changeable long term adaption factor to a target dosing rate is provided for the model dosing rate and a correction by a changeable short term adaption factor to an assumed actual filling state for the ammonia filling level value. A dosing unit controllable by a control unit adds an ammonia-containing reducing agent to the exhaust gas and n exhaust gas enriched with ammonia according to the dosing is fed to the SCR catalytic converter. An ammonia filling level value for a filling level of ammonia stored in the SCR catalytic converter and a model dosing rate for dosing the reducing agent into the exhaust gas are calculated by a computer model. | 05-19-2011 |
20110113753 | Method for Operating an Exhaust Gas Treatment System Having an SCR Catalytic Converter - A method for operating an exhaust gas treatment system that includes an SCR catalytic converter is provided. Either a model-based filling level regulation for achieving the target filling level or a model-based efficiency control for achieving the target efficiency is performed according to presettable values for certain operating variables such as a temperature of the exhaust gas or of the SCR catalytic converter. | 05-19-2011 |

20140199219 | Method For Determining a Quality of a Reducing Agent Solution Containing Ammonia Used to Reduce Nitrite Oxide - A determination of a quality of a reducing agent solution containing ammonia used to reduce nitrogen oxides involves actuating a metering unit that delivers metered quantities of reducing agent solution into an engine's discharged exhaust gas and determining an efficiency value that is at least correlated with the efficiency of the SCR catalytic converter and comparing the efficiency value to a predefinable limit value. If an efficiency value not corresponding to proper functioning of the SCR exhaust emission control system is identified by the comparison, a switch is made to a diagnostic mode in a second method step. If a predefinable deviation of the efficiency value from a limit value is identified after expiration of the second method step time period, a third method step is performed for conditioning the SCR catalytic converter. A fourth step involves an adaptation mode in which a deviation from the efficiency value is determined. | 07-17-2014 |
