  • Patent number: 11719149
    Abstract: The invention proposes a method for operating a metering system (32) with a plurality of metering valves (34, 35) for an SCR catalyst system, in which opening times for the injection of reducing agent are calculated for the metering valves (34, 35) based on a metering amount requirement. In the calculations of the opening times, a metering-valve-specific adaptation factor is used, w herein a deviation (?p) of a system pressure (pist) in the metering system (32) from a target pressure (psoll) and a weighting factor are used for calculation of the metering-valve-specific adaptation factor. The weighting factor depends on a proportion (r34, r35) of the required metering amount ((formula (I)), (formula (II)) of the respective metering valve (34,35) in relation to a total metering amount ((formula (I)), (formula (II)) of all metering valves (34, 35).
