Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0028201A1] The operating point dependent values for the crude NOx concentration (RK) of the internal combustion engine are read out from an engine characteristics map. The variations in concentration are adapted on the basis of the starting signal of an NOx sensor which is arranged down-stream of the NOx storage catalyst either by modification of a reduction factor (RF) which serves to calculate the corrected crude NOx concentration (KK) from the crude NOx concentration (RK) or by direct correction of the values read out from the engine characteristics map for the crude NOx concentration (RK) with a crude concentration correction factor.
