Abstract:
Systems and methods for managing aftertreatment systems that include passive NOx adsorption devices and SCR catalyst elements are disclosed. Temperature generation devices upstream of the passive NOx adsorption devices facilitate control of the aftertreatment systems to improve fuel economy and NOx conversion efficiency.
Abstract:
An example method includes determining that a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) component having a zeolite-based catalyst is contaminated with platinum (Pt). The method further includes elevating the temperature of the SCR component to at least 600° C. in response to the determining the catalytic component is contaminated with Pt, and maintaining the elevated temperature of the catalytic component for a predetermined time period thereby restoring reduction activity of the catalyst.
