Abstract (en)

[origin: US2007113545A1] This system in which the NOx trap ( 1 ) is associated with catalyst-forming means ( 2 ) integrated in an exhaust line ( 3 ) of a vehicle engine ( 4 ), and in which the engine is associated with common manifold or "rail" fuel feeder means ( 7, 8 ) for feeding it with fuel and adapted, by modifying control parameters for the operation of the engine, to cause the engine to switch between lean mixture operation ( 9 ) and rich mixture ( 10 ), is characterized in that the fuel feeder means ( 7, 8 ) are adapted to define four strategies ( 11, 12, 13, 14 ) for controlling lean mixture operation of the engine ( 9 ), and in that the fuel feeder means ( 7, 8 ) are adapted to cause the engine to switch between its various strategies in order to keep the trap ( 1 ) in a temperature window of maximum effectiveness.
