Patents by Inventor Damiano Di-Penta

Damiano Di-Penta has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9416706
    Abstract: The invention relates to an exhaust gas treatment system comprising a catalytic particulate filter, a catalytic reduction device for the reduction of nitrogen oxides, which is mounted downstream of the catalytic particulate filter, an injection device mounted upstream of the catalytic particulate filter, a means for determining the temperature of the catalytic particulate filter and an electronic control unit able to command injection of reducing agent. The electronic control unit comprises a first control means able to command injection of the reducing agent in order to obtain a reference quantity of reducing agent stored in the filter that corresponds to a filter temperature below a threshold, and a second control means able to command the injection of reducing agent in order to obtain a reference quantity of reducing agent stored in the device that corresponds to a filter temperature higher than said threshold.

  • Publication number: 20160169073
    Abstract: A system and method for diagnosing selective catalytic reduction system of a motor vehicle, the system including an internal combustion engine connected by an exhaust manifold to, successively, an assembly including a nitrogen oxide catalyst and a particle filter and a selective catalytic reduction system, a mechanism draining mass of ammonia stored in the selective catalytic reduction system, a mechanism controlling draining, and a mechanism injecting urea positioned upstream of the selective catalytic reduction system, a mechanism measuring quantity of ammonia at an outlet of the selective catalytic reduction system, a system determining maximum mass of ammonia stored in the selective catalytic reduction system, and a comparison mechanism configured to transmit a fault signal based on a result of a comparison between the maximum mass of ammonia stored in the selective catalytic reduction system and a threshold.
