  • Patent number: 12209520
    Abstract: A control device and a method for controlling an exhaust gas aftertreatment system comprising a diesel particulate filter is provided. The method comprises a step of, in response to a determination that a temperature of an exhaust gas entering the diesel particulate filter is equal to or below 325° C., controlling a NOx concentration of the exhaust gas entering the diesel particulate filter to be equal to or less than 600 ppm. An exhaust gas aftertreatment system as well as a vehicle comprising the control device are also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 20, 2022
    Date of Patent: January 28, 2025
    Assignee: Scania CV AB

  • Patent number: 11680509
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for diagnosing a first exhaust treatment component for treatment of an exhaust gas stream comprising means for oxidizing nitric oxide into nitrogen dioxide. A first reduction catalytic converter is arranged upstream said means for oxidizing nitric oxide into nitrogen dioxide, and a second reduction catalytic converter is arranged downstream said means. A reagent is for reduction of nitrogen oxides in said first catalytic converter, and a first sensor measures an occurrence of nitrogen oxide downstream said means but upstream said second reduction catalytic converter. The method comprises: causing a supply of reagent upstream said first reduction catalytic converter to an extent exceeding the extent to which reagent is consumed by the first reduction catalytic converter, determining a first measure of the occurrence of reagent downstream said means for oxidizing, and diagnosing said means for oxidizing nitric oxide into nitrogen dioxide based on said first measure.
