  • Patent number: 11549419
    Abstract: A method for reducing deposits related to a reduction agent (RA) in a portion of an exhaust aftertreatment system (EAS) of an internal combustion engine (ICE) and comprising an injector for injecting the RA into said EAS, said portion located downstream of said injector, as seen in an intended direction of flow of exhaust gas in said EAS, said method comprising: identifying for said ICE, a future operating sequence (FOS) comprising a first temporal portion (t1) and a second temporal portion (t2) subsequent to t1, confirming that said FOS is suitable for reducing deposits and that said ICE operates in accordance with said FOS, in response to said confirming being affirmative, injecting a first dosage (d1) of RA into said EAS during at least a part of said t1 and injecting a second dosage (d2) of RA smaller than d1 into said EAS during at least a part of t2.

  • Publication number: 20220383674
    Abstract: A method for prevention of fault events on vehicles including: acquiring predictive data related to predictive events for a vehicle; processing the predictive data with a vehicle performance model adapted to relate specific predictive events to specific vehicle performance events; and adjusting a control strategy for the vehicle based on an outcome of the processing to at least reduce the risk that a specific vehicle performance event occurs when the vehicle reaches a corresponding specific predictive event.

  • Patent number: 9132386
    Abstract: An exhaust system includes a first SCR catalyst and a second SCR catalyst positioned downstream of the first SCR catalyst. A first injector is provided upstream of the first SCR catalyst, and a second injector is provided upstream of the second SCR catalyst. The exhaust system further includes a gaseous ammonia supply device fluidly connected to the first injector for supplying gaseous ammonia to the exhaust gas by the first injector, and an ammonia-containing reductant reservoir fluidly connected to the second injector for supplying a fluid ammonia-containing reductant, such as urea, to the exhaust gas by the second injector. The first SCR catalyst has a smaller volume than the second SCR catalyst for a fast warm-up of the first SCR catalyst.
