Patent number: 9080486Abstract: A method and device for monitoring and controlling the regeneration of a particle filter in an exhaust gas duct of an internal combustion engine which has a three-way catalytic converter downstream of the particle filter, wherein the particle filter is regenerated by oxidative burning of the particles during a regeneration phase, wherein oxygen consumption is balanced, directly or indirectly, during the regeneration phase via the temporal variation of a first signal of a first lambda probe, which is arranged upstream of the particle filter, in comparison to the temporal variation of a second signal of a second lambda probe, which is arranged downstream of the particle filter. A lambda value of ?=1 is set downstream of the three-way catalytic converter during the regeneration of the particle filter by means of lambda control and the second lambda probe which is arranged downstream of the three-way catalytic converter.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2011Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Frank, Klaus Winkler, Andreas Kufferath, Dimitrios Stavrianos

Publication number: 20140041368Abstract: A method is introduced for heating an exhaust-gas aftertreatment system (15). The method has the following steps: detection of a necessity to heat (S1) the exhaust-gas aftertreatment system (15), and actuation (S5) of an electric motor (5) in such a way that the electric motor (5) drags the internal combustion engine (3) which produces exhaust gas. Here, the internal combustion engine (3) is held at a predefinable rotational speed by the electric motor (5).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2012Publication date: February 13, 2014Applicant: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Dimitrios Stavrianos, Julian Doerreich

Publication number: 20110139524Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a drive train of a vehicle, in particular a hybrid vehicle, are described. The drive train includes at least two drive units. The one drive unit is an internal combustion engine, the other is an additional motor. A temperature value is recorded, which represents the exhaust-gas temperature of the internal combustion engine. The component for generating the drive torque with the aid of the additional motor is adjusted as a function of the exhaust-gas temperature, such that at higher exhaust-gas temperatures a greater component of the drive torque is generated with the aid of the additional motor than at lower exhaust-gas temperatures.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2008Publication date: June 16, 2011Applicant: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Detlef Heinrich, Christoph Woll, Gerhard Filp, Dimitrios Stavrianos

Publication number: 20110036144Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring and controlling the regeneration of a particle filter in an exhaust gas duct of an internal combustion engine, wherein said regeneration of the particle filter takes place by means of an oxidative burning off of particles during a regeneration phase. Provision is made according to the invention for the internal combustion engine to be operated at a lean operating point at least intermittently during lean operating phases or during a mixture oscillation and for the regeneration of the particle filter to be monitored during the lean operating phases or during the mixture oscillation via the temporal course of a second signal of a second lambda probe disposed in the exhaust gas direction downstream of said particle filter or of a second parameter derived therefrom in comparison to the temporal course of a first signal of a first lambda probe disposed in the exhaust gas direction upstream of said particle filter or of a first parameter derived therefrom.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2010Publication date: February 17, 2011Applicant: Robert Bosch GMBHInventors: Eduard Weiss, Dimitrios Stavrianos
