Abstract: A method for desulphurising a nitrogen oxide accumulator catalytic converter of an exhaust gas system that includes the nitrogen oxide accumulator catalytic converter and at least one selective catalytic reduction catalytic converter disposed downstream of the nitrogen oxide accumulator catalytic converter, of an internal combustion engine, where a desulphurisation strategy, on the basis of which the nitrogen oxide accumulator catalytic converter is desulphurised, is adjusted to the ageing of the nitrogen oxide accumulator catalytic converter.

Abstract: A method for operating an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, in which exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine flows through a first SCR catalytic converter, which is followed by an ammonia barrier catalytic converter, and flows through a second SCR catalytic converter which is disposed downstream of the ammonia barrier catalyst, includes introducing a reducing agent introduced into the exhaust gas by a first metering device upstream of the first SCR catalytic converter and by a second metering device upstream of the second SCR catalytic converter. When a predetermined threshold value of a temperature of a region of the exhaust system is exceeded, a quantity of reducing agent introduced into the exhaust gas by the first metering device is increased.

Abstract: A method for operating an exhaust system, where the exhaust system has a first selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalytic converter close to the engine and a second SCR catalytic converter arranged downstream of the first. A respective quantity of reducing agent to be introduced into the exhaust gas by a respective dosing element is set depending on a first temperature of the first SCR catalytic converter, where during a period of time during which the first temperature exceeds a predeterminable first threshold value and a second temperature of the second SCR catalytic converter exceeds a predeterminable second threshold value, which is lower than the first threshold value, the introduction of the reducing agent into the exhaust gas with regard to the dosing elements takes place exclusively via the second dosing element such that during the period of time, no introduction of the reducing agent into the exhaust gas takes place.

Abstract: A method for adjusting the temperature of an exhaust gas aftertreatment device is disclosed. A first characteristic temperature value for an oxidative carbon monoxide conversion and a second characteristic temperature value for an oxidative hydrocarbon conversion are assigned to an oxidation catalytic converter, and a third characteristic temperature value for a reductive NOx conversion is assigned to an SCR catalytic converter. Different respective values for injection parameters of injection processes for fuel injections into combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine and/or the heating output of an electric heating element are set upon reaching the first and the second characteristic temperature values for the temperature of the oxidation catalytic converter and upon reaching the third characteristic temperature value for the temperature of the SCR catalytic converter.
