Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19926148A1] Disclosed is a method for compensating deterioration or ageing of NOx storage catalysts by specifically increasing the NOx conversion rate in accordance with a specific excess consumption threshold value. According to extent of damage ascertained, the following measures are proposed either individually or in a combined manner so that the catalyst can be used over a longer period without being replaced: modification of the lean-rich operation period until NOx regeneration or desulphation is initiated or terminated; constant or chronologically variable off-setting to the lambda-input of a fresh NOx storage catalyst while NOx regeneration or desulphation is carried out to a maximum extent of <u>+</u> 0.25; modification of the exhaust gas recirculation rate, ignition point, start of injection, duration of injection, tumble valve position, valve control times, compression and/or supercharging pressure in order to reduce lean NOx raw emission in accordance with certain marginal conditions for exhaust gas temperature, exhaust gas mass flow and HC or CO emission rate; extension of the operating mode, with lambda = 1, to characteristic mapping ranges wherein lean operation is possible for a non-deteriorated catalyst.
