[0003] The present invention relates to systems and methods for eliminating nitrogen oxides in vehicle exhaust systems, and more particularly to injector firing control circuits that provide rapid opening and closing of injectors. Background technique
[0004] Vehicle exhaust aftertreatment systems are known to treat emissions from combustion processes such as compression engines. The system may include an exhaust treatment component that cleans or treats exhaust. One such known system is a urea injection system for eliminating or reducing NOx (nitrogen oxides) from the exhaust. The injection system injects urea into the exhaust. The injector includes an electric solenoid with a coil fired by the injector control circuit. The injectors are typically driven by a pulse width modulated control signal operable on the order of eg 5 Hz with relative on and off times co...
