  • Method for Operating an Exhaust Gas Purification System of a Motor Vehicle Combustion Engine
    Publication number: 20160069243
    Abstract: A method for operating an exhaust gas purification system of a motor vehicle internal combustion engine is disclosed. The system has an SCR catalyst where a reducing agent containing ammonia is metered into the exhaust gas at a predeterminable metering rate which is produced from a base value and an adaptation factor which corrects the base value. A test procedure checks and, if appropriate, adjusts the adaptation factor where a first nitrogen oxide value is compared with a second nitrogen oxide value of the exhaust gas, where the first and the second nitrogen oxide value are determined by the same nitrogen oxide sensor disposed downstream of the SCR catalyst. The first nitrogen oxide value is determined when the metering of the reducing agent is switched off and the second nitrogen oxide value is determined when the reducing agent is metered at a test metering rate which can be predetermined.

  • Reversal tolerant membrane electrode assembly for a fuel cell
    Patent number: 9263748
    Abstract: A membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for a fuel cell which exhibits enhanced reversal tolerance. In particular, a layer of iridium or an iridium compound, preferably metallic iridium or iridium oxide supported on TiO2, is provided on the anode to electrolyze available water and pass the majority of the current during a reversal of the fuel cell, thereby preventing damage to the MEA. The iridium or iridium compound is applied to an anode structure according to a predetermined pattern, with only part of the anode active area containing Ir. The parts of the MEA that do not contain Ir are not expected to suffer degradation from Ir cross-over, so that overall degradation of the cell will be diminished. Having less precious metals will also translate into less cost.
