Benefits of technology

The patent describes a control system for heating a vehicle's exhaust gas treatment system, specifically the SCR catalytic converter. The system is set up to continuously measure the temperature of the SCR converter and quickly turn on the heating device if the temperature gets too low. This ensures that the heating device is only turned on when necessary, saving energy and ensuring optimal performance of the exhaust gas treatment system.

Problems solved by technology

For the combined use of a PNA and an SCR catalytic converter, the temperature properties of the PNA must be taken into account, as this affects the possibility of having an empty PNA at the end of engine operation.
Thus, low adsorption stability of the NOx can cause very early NOx desorption, if for example strong acceleration of the internal combustion engine takes place in cold start conditions or in the warm-up phase.
This results in high temperatures in the PNA with continued low temperatures in the SCR catalytic converter.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]FIG. 1 shows an exhaust aftertreatment system according to the disclosure for an internal combustion engine. The exhaust aftertreatment system comprises an exhaust pipe 1, a passive NOx adsorber 2 arranged in the exhaust pipe 1, an injector 3 arranged in the exhaust pipe, a mixer arranged in the exhaust pipe 4, an SCR catalytic converter 5 arranged in the exhaust pipe and a heating device 6 arranged in the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe 1 is fluidically connected to the outlet of the combustion engine and the exhaust gas of the combustion engine flows through the exhaust pipe 1. The exhaust gas reaches the passive NOx adsorber 2 via the exhaust pipe 1. The passive NOx adsorber 2 is designed to adsorb NOx emissions contained in the exhaust gas. When the storage capacity of the passive NOx adsorber 2 is exhausted and / or a sufficiently high temperature is reached, the NOx emissions are desorbed. An injector 3 and a mixer 4 are arranged in the exhaust pipe 1 between the passive NO...
