  • Patent number: 11668217
    Abstract: A device for exhaust gas aftertreatment in an internal combustion engine can be connected to an outlet of the internal combustion engine. The device comprises an exhaust gas system with an exhaust gas channel in which a three-way catalytic converter is arranged, and an exhaust gas burner with which hot burner exhaust gases can be fed into the exhaust gas channel at a feed point upstream from the three-way catalytic converter. The three-way catalytic converter is configured as a lambda probe catalytic converter and comprises a first catalyst volume and a second catalyst volume, whereby a lambda probe is arranged downstream from the first catalyst volume and upstream from the second catalyst volume, whereby the first catalyst volume has a lower oxygen storage capacity than the second catalyst volume. A method for exhaust gas aftertreatment in an internal combustion engine has such an exhaust gas aftertreatment device.

  • Patent number: 11555427
    Abstract: An exhaust-gas burner for an exhaust-gas system of a motor vehicle includes a combustion chamber, which is surrounded by an outer wall, for a channel section in an exhaust-gas system. A dosing unit is provided for the controlled feed of a fuel into the combustion chamber. An ignition unit is provided for the ignition of a combustible mixture in the combustion chamber. A cooling circuit is provided for the exchange of heat with the dosing unit, and is arranged within the outer wall of the exhaust-gas burner.

  • Patent number: 11136912
    Abstract: A method for operating an exhaust gas purification apparatus (10) of a vehicle includes monitoring close-coupled lambda value (Ln) of a close-coupled catalytic converter apparatus (20), operating the close-coupled catalytic converter apparatus (20) with an excess of fuel, monitoring a non-close-coupled lambda value (Lf) of a non-close-coupled catalytic converter apparatus (30), and operating the non-close-coupled catalytic converter apparatus (30) in a stoichiometric method of operation.

  • Patent number: 10246078
    Abstract: A method for regenerating at least one particle filter of a vehicle with an electric drive and an internal combustion engine. The supplying of an energy storage device of the vehicle with electric energy is paused upon reaching a first charging threshold of at least one particle filter, so that the at least one particle filter is charged to a predetermined threshold value. Upon reaching a second charging threshold of the at least one particle filter by the internal combustion engine, an enthalpy that is introduced by the internal combustion engine into the at least one particle filter is increased relative to an enthalpy that is due to the charge that is associated with the operations.
