Nitrogen dioxide generation diagnostic for a diesel after-treatment system
Abstract:
A method for assessing NO2 generation efficiency in a diesel engine after-treatment (AT) system having a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) downstream of the engine generating the NO2 and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst downstream of the DOC converting NOX with the aid of the NO2. Engine exhaust gas flow is passed into the AT system and a reductant is injected into the gas flow between the DOC and the SCR catalyst. SCR inlet gas flow temperature is monitored during transient engine operation and DOC inlet and SCR catalyst outlet NOX concentrations are detected when the SCR catalyst inlet gas flow temperature is in a predetermined range. SCR catalyst NOX conversion efficiency is determined using the detected DOC inlet and SCR catalyst outlet concentrations of NOX. Additionally, whether the NO2 generation efficiency is at or above threshold efficiency is assessed by comparing the determined and threshold NOX conversion efficiencies.
