    Abstract: An exemplary method includes determining an NH3 reference target in an exhaust conduit between a first SCR catalyst and a second SCR catalyst. The method includes determining a present amount of NH3 in the exhaust conduit between the first SCR catalyst and the second SCR catalyst, and determining an NH3 error term in response to the NH3 reference target and the present amount of NH3. The method further includes determining an amount of NOx downstream of the second SCR catalyst, and adjusting one of the NH3 reference target and a reductant doser command in response to the amount of NOx downstream of the second SCR catalyst. The method further includes providing a reductant doser command in response to the NH3 error term.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that include an exhaust gas stream produced by an engine and an aftertreatment system including an SCR catalyst element receiving at least a portion of the exhaust gas stream. An exhaust outlet flow path has an inlet fluidly coupled to the exhaust gas stream at a position downstream of at least a portion of the SCR catalyst element that bypasses at least a portion of exhaust gas stream to provide for compositional measurement of the exhaust gas with a compositional sensor located downstream of a diagnostic catalyst positioned in the exhaust outlet flow path.

    Abstract: A system includes an internal combustion engine providing exhaust gases to an exhaust conduit, an aftertreatment system having an SCR catalyst component and disposed in the exhaust conduit. The system further includes a first NH3 sensing element preferentially sensitive to NH3 and a second NH3 sensing element preferentially sensitive to NO2 in the exhaust conduit. Both NH3 sensing elements are positioned downstream of the SCR catalyst component. The system includes a controller having a test conditions module that determines whether an NO2 concentration downstream of the SCR catalyst component is below a threshold value, an NH3 diagnostic module that provides a detection comparison value in response to the NO2 concentration, a first signal from the first NH3 sensing element, and a second signal from the second NH3 sensing element. The controller includes a sensor condition module that provides an NH3 sensor condition value in response to the detection comparison value.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for fuel drift estimation and compensation using exhaust oxygen levels and fresh air flow measurements. An actual fueling to the engine cylinders is determined from the exhaust oxygen level and fresh air flow to the internal combustion engine. The actual fueling is compared to an expected fueling based on the fueling command provided to the internal combustion engine. The difference between the actual fueling and expected fueling is fuel drift error attributed to changes or drift in the fuel injection system and is used to correct or compensate future fueling commands for the fuel drift.

    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 NOx 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 δNOx/δANR, the δNOx/δANR determined according to the NOx 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.

    Abstract: An example method includes interpreting an NH3 composition value at a position upstream of a selective reduction catalyst (SCR) element fluidly disposed in the exhaust conduit of an engine, interpreting a NOx composition value at a position downstream of the SCR element, and determining an NH3 sensor rationality threshold in response to the upstream NH3 composition value. The method further includes determining an NH3 sensor health value as indicating a sensor failure in response to the downstream NOx composition value exceeding the NH3 sensor rationality threshold.
