Patent number: 7150145Abstract: A diesel powered vehicle is provided with an SCR system which uses an external reducing reagent to convert NOx emissions in a manner which accounts for the effects of NOx transient emissions on the reducing catalyst. Actual NOx emissions produced by the engine are filtered using a variable NOx time constant in turn correlated to the reductant/NOx storage capacity of the reducing catalyst at its current temperature to account for changes in the SCR system attributed to NOx transient emissions. Catalyst temperature is filtered using a variable catalyst time constant corresponding to current space velocity of the exhaust gas to account for changes in the catalyst temperature attributed to NOx transient emissions. The reductant is metered on the basis of the filtered, corrected NOx concentration applied at a NSR ratio based, in turn, on the filtered, corrected reducing catalyst temperature.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2003Date of Patent: December 19, 2006Assignee: Engelhard CorporationInventors: Joseph A. Patchett, Rudolfus Petrus Verbeek, Karl Richard Grimston, Gary Wayne Rice, John Lawrence Calabrese, Mathus Van Genderen

Patent number: 6003316Abstract: Internal combustion engine with exhaust gas recirculation and turbocharger. The branch (9) connecting the exhaust duct (4) and the inlet duct (5) is situated upstream of the exhaust turbine (6) and downstream of the inlet compressor (7). This branch (9) discharges into the inlet duct via a venturi (10). The regulation of the quantity of exhaust gas is controlled by controlling the exhaust-pressure-regulating devices. These may comprise a turbine with variable geometry.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1997Date of Patent: December 21, 1999Assignee: Nederlandse Organisatie voor Toegepast-Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek TNOInventors: Rik Silveer Geert Baert, Derek Edward Beckman, Hendrik Jan Dekker, Willem Lein Sturm, Rudolfus Petrus Verbeek
