Abstract: A method for operating an injector on an internal combustion engine includes the steps of: introducing a fuel into a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine by way of the injector; capturing, for a plurality of injection events, a wear value for the injector; assigning each respective one of the wear value that is captured to a respective one of a plurality of wear value classes; determining, for each of the plurality of wear value classes, a class frequency of a plurality of the wear value that are captured and assigned to a corresponding one of the plurality of wear value classes; calculating, based on a plurality of class frequencies of the plurality of wear value classes, a total wear value for the injector; and evaluating a condition of the injector based on the total wear value.

Abstract: A method for execution with an exhaust-gas particle filter which is operated with an exhaust-gas aftertreatment system, wherein the exhaust-gas particle filter has a filter wall along which exhaust gas is conducted for filtering purposes; wherein the method includes a regeneration phase with the steps: a) setting a soot load on the exhaust-gas particle filter, wherein the set soot load effects the formation of a soot layer on ash deposited on the filter wall; and b) subsequently mobilising the deposited ash by burning off the formed soot layer during the course of an active regeneration of the exhaust-gas particle filter.

Abstract: A method for operating a driving system having an internal combustion engine and an exhaust gas purifying device through which exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine flows in order to be purified. The exhaust gas purifying device has at least one catalyst element for catalytic conversion of nitrogen monoxide into nitrogen dioxide at a determined conversion rate. In order to compensate for an age related decrease in the conversion rate of the catalyst element the nitrogen monoxide emission from the internal combustion engine and/or the exhaust gas temperature before the catalyst element are adjusted as a function of the current conversion rate and/or the age of the catalyst element so that the nitrogen dioxide concentration after the catalyst element is greater than or equal to a minimum concentration and/or that the molar ratio between nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide after the catalyst element corresponds to a predetermined ratio.

Abstract: A method and a device for operating an exhaust gas aftertreatment, wherein a diesel particulate filter is regenerated during the operation, in particular passively regenerated, wherein a corrected differential pressure is calculated from a current differential pressure across the diesel particulate filter at a current exhaust gas volumetric flow rate and with a current correction factor. The current correction factor is determined by determining a lower differential pressure in a predetermined time interval at a defined exhaust gas volumetric flow rate, in particular in a specified exhaust gas volumetric flow rate interval around the defined exhaust gas volumetric flow rate, and comparing the lower differential pressure with a specified current reference value and, depending thereon, calculating a new correction factor or retaining the previous correction factor as the current correction factor.

Abstract: A method for operating a driving system having an internal combustion engine and an exhaust gas purifying device through which exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine flows in order to be purified. The exhaust gas purifying device has at least one catalyst element for catalytic conversion of nitrogen monoxide into nitrogen dioxide at a determined conversion rate. In order to compensate for an agerelated decrease in the conversion rate of the catalyst element the nitrogen monoxide emission from the internal combustion engine and/or the exhaust gas temperature before the catalyst element are adjusted as a function of the current conversion rate and/or the age of the catalyst element so that the nitrogen dioxide concentration after the catalyst element is greater than or equal to a minimum concentration and/or that the molar ratio between nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide after the catalyst element corresponds to a predetermined ratio.
