Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to aftertreatment control of NOx emissions in internal combustion engines. Background technique
[0002] The statements in this part only provide background information related to the present invention and may not constitute prior art.
[0003] Emission control is an element in engine design and engine control. NOx, known as a byproduct of combustion, is produced by nitrogen molecules and oxygen molecules present in engine intake that splits at high combustion temperatures. The NOx generation rate and the combustion process follow a well-known relationship. For example, a high NOx generation rate is related to a high combustion temperature and long-term exposure of air molecules to a high temperature. In vehicle design, it is desired to reduce NOx generated during combustion and manage NOx in exhaust aftertreatment systems.
[0004] Once NOx molecules are produced in the combustion chamber, they can be converted back to nitrogen...
