Abstract:
A method includes determining a current mid-bed NH3 amount by operating an NH3 sensor positioned at a mid-bed location for an engine aftertreatment system having two SCR catalyst beds. The method further includes operating a NOx sensor positioned at the mid-bed location, and interpreting a current mid-bed ammonia to NOx ratio (ANR) and a current mid-bed NOx in response to the mid-bed NH3 amount and the operating the NOx sensor. The method further includes correcting an output value of the NOx sensor for cross-sensitivity to NH3. The method includes determining a mid-bed ANR constraint, determining a feedforward mid-bed NOx target, and providing a reductant injector command in response to the current mid-bed ANR, the current mid-bed NOx, the ANR constraint, and the feedforward mid- bed NOx target.
Abstract:
A method for managing emissions from a vehicle having an aftertreatment system is provided. The method includes: receiving, by a controller, information indicative of a temperature of an aftertreatment system of the vehicle and a power output of an engine of the vehicle; comparing, by the controller, the temperature of the aftertreatment system to a temperature threshold; comparing, by the controller, the power output to a power output threshold; and responsive to the comparisons, commanding, by the controller, an aftertreatment system heater to selectively engage and disengage to warm the aftertreatment system of the vehicle.

Abstract:
There is disclosed a method and system for pressurizing a reductant solution from a reductant storage device and superheating the pressurized reductant solution. The superheated pressurized reductant solution at least partially decomposes in the heat exchanger and/or a decomposition chamber before it is released into an exhaust system. The at least partially decomposed reductant solution is delivered to the exhaust system upstream of the SCR catalyst.
Abstract:
A method includes providing: a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst disposed in an exhaust gas stream of an internal combustion engine, a reagent injector operationally coupled to the exhaust gas stream at a position upstream of the SCR catalyst, and a NO x sensor coupled to the exhaust gas stream at a position downstream of at least a first portion of the SCR catalyst. The method includes operating an extremum seeking controller to determine a first reagent injection amount corresponding to a predetermined slope of δNO x /δANR, the δNO x /δANR determined according to the NO x sensor, providing a reagent injection command in response to the first reagent injection amount, and injecting an amount of the reagent in response to the reagent injection command.
