Abstract: A method of controlling an exhaust system for a diesel engine comprises providing an aftertreatment system comprising a first catalyst and a diesel exhaust fluid injection system, determining a preliminary dose of a diesel exhaust fluid of the diesel exhaust fluid injection system based on an incoming exhaust gas flow and an exhaust gas temperature, determining an NH3 factor based on incoming exhaust gas oxygen concentration and the incoming exhaust gas flow temperature, and determining a final dose of diesel exhaust fluid by multiplying the preliminary dose of diesel exhaust fluid by the NH3 factor.

Abstract: Technical solutions described herein include an emissions control system for treating exhaust gas in a motor vehicle including an internal combustion engine. The emissions control system includes a model-based controller to control reductant injections into the exhaust gas. Controlling the reductant injections includes determining an amount of NOx and an amount of NH3 at an outlet of the first SCR device, and at an outlet of the second SCR device. The controlling further includes computing an amount of reductants to inject to maintain a first predetermined ratio between the amount of NH3 and the amount of NOx at the outlet of the first SCR device and to maintain a second predetermined ratio between the amount of NH3 and the amount of NOx at the outlet of the second SCR device. Further, the controlling includes sending a command for receipt by the reductant injectors to inject the computed amount of reductants.

Abstract: An exhaust gas after-treatment system for an internal combustion engine includes a selective catalyst reduction on filter (SCRF) exhaust gas after-treatment device in communication with exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine and having treated exhaust gas output. An oxides of nitrogen (NOx) sensor is coupled to treated exhaust gases and has a NOx sensor output signal that is NOx and ammonia (NH3) cross-sensitive. A closed loop observer (CLO) is operatively coupled to receive the NOx sensor output signal and provides a NOx concentration signal to an electronic control unit operatively associated with the exhaust gas after-treatment system and the internal combustion engine. CLO output at least includes an exhaust gas NOx concentration estimate and the ECU is arranged to be operable upon the NOx concentration estimate to control exhaust gas after-treatment system and internal combustion engine to effect an overall reduction in actual NOx concentration with the exhaust gases.
