  • Publication number: 20240093625
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a particulate filter (3) taking the ash loading into consideration, to an arrangement in this respect, to a control unit in this respect, and to a vehicle in this respect, wherein, during the operation of the internal combustion engine (1), fuel and/or lubricants are at least partially converted into ash by the internal combustion engine (1), wherein a first ash value is calculated on the basis of the fuel consumption and/or the lubricant consumption of the internal combustion engine (1), wherein, after regeneration of the particulate filter, the differential pressure across the particulate filter (3) is determined, wherein a second ash value is calculated on the basis of the determined differential pressure, wherein the ash quantity in the particulate filter (3) is determined from the first and the second ash value, and wherein, if the determined ash quantity exceeds a predefined value, a status device is activated.

  • Patent number: 11585259
    Abstract: The invention relates in particular to a method for adjusting the loading (19) of a particulate filter (9) and to an assembly designed to carry out the method, wherein the exhaust gas aftertreatment unit (8) comprises at least two SCR systems (11, 12) and a particulate filter (9), a first operating material amount being introduced in a metered manner before the first SCR system (11), and a second operating material amount being introduced in a metered manner before the second SCR system (12), the operating material being convertible into a reducing agent.

  • Patent number: 11408319
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving the efficiency of an SCR system of an exhaust gas aftertreatment system (5) of an internal combustion engine (1), and to an internal combustion engine (1), wherein an operating medium is metered in upstream of the SCR catalytic converter (2) of the SCR system in a normal operating mode, wherein the operating medium comprises a reducing agent or can be converted into a reducing agent, wherein the reducing agent is stored at least temporarily in an SCR catalytic converter (2) of the SCR system, wherein the method comprises the following steps: operating of the internal combustion engine (1) in the normal operating mode, defining of a determined control value (6) by way of determining of the mass of an exhaust gas component which is measured overall at a point in the course of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system (5) during a first measurement window, determining of a calculated control value (7) by way of calculating of the mass of the exhaust gas component which

  • Patent number: 10954881
    Abstract: It is hereby disclosed a method of controlling an injection apparatus of an internal combustion engine including setting a minimum value (QMIN) of a fuel quantity that can be injected into the internal combustion engine by the injection apparatus with one injection; preventing the injection apparatus from performing post-injections of fuel quantities having a smaller value than the minimum value (QMIN).
