  • Patent number: 10087805
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method of determining a correcting logic for a reacting model of an SCR catalyst, a method of correcting parameters of the reacting model of the SCR catalyst and an exhaust system to which the methods are applied. The reacting model of the SCR catalyst is defined by m parameters and has n input variables, where m and n are natural numbers with n smaller than m. The reacting model of the SCR catalyst may be adapted to predict nitrogen oxide (NOx) concentration at a downstream of the SCR catalyst at the least.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9983600
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method of correcting a control logic of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst and an exhaust system. The control logic may be adapted to calculate an injection amount of a reducing agent for the SCR catalyst at the least. The method may include detecting input variables including temperature of the SCR catalyst and exhaust flow rate, discretizing the input variables, standardizing the discretized input variables, determining whether the discretized input variables are within a correction range, and correcting the control logic of the SCR catalyst if the discretized input variables are within the correction range.

  • Patent number: 9677443
    Abstract: A method of determining suitability of correction for a control logic of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst, may include determining a suitability function of the correction based on a previous error and a current error when the correction has been performed, determining a suitability coefficient based on the suitability function of the correction, determining whether the correction may be suitable based on the number of corrections and the suitability coefficient, and resetting the control logic when the correction may be not suitable.

  • Patent number: 8205481
    Abstract: A method of measuring oxygen-containing nitrogen components including nitrogen dioxide in exhaust gases of internal combustion engines, wherein an exhaust gas sample is taken from a removal point 10 at the exhaust gas pipe 1 and is guided to at least one measuring instrument by means of a removal line, wherein, for the purpose of measuring the oxygen-containing nitrogen components, there are provided a separate removal point 10 and a removal line 11 and that the exhaust gas sample for measuring the oxygen-containing nitrogen components is set to a temperature at which a reaction between the nitrogen dioxide and soot is low.

  • Patent number: 6185930
    Abstract: A method of reducing pollutants in an exhaust gas of an internal-combustion engine includes the following steps: producing, at a first location, a reactive gas component NO2 from at least one part of the NO content of the exhaust gas by reaction with the oxygen, contained in the exhaust gas, under an energy effect; and reactively converting the NO2 in a pollutant retaining system situated at a second location downstream of the first location as viewed in the flow direction.
