  • Method for heating an exhaust system
    Patent number: 11834977
    Abstract: A method (200) for heating an exhaust system (120) downstream of an internal combustion engine (1) by means of an electric heating device (14, 15). In one example, the method includes determining a current temperature (t_EHC, t_EHC{circumflex over (?)}Us, t_Cat) in the exhaust system (120), determining a heating demand (t_EHC{circumflex over (?)}Des) based on the determined current temperature (t_Cat) and a target temperature, calculating a required amount of heat (Pwr{circumflex over (?)}Des) on the basis of the heating demand and an amount of energy required to heat the electric heating device (14, 15), and controlling (Pwr{circumflex over (?)}Req) the electric heating device (14, 15) to generate the calculated amount of heat.
