Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021052808A1] A method is proposed for adjusting richness in an internal combustion engine equipped with a catalytic converter. The richness is adjusted by a first closed-loop controller to a setpoint (Cλ) which is continuously corrected by a second controller depending on the deviations between a calculated oxygen quantity value (OS) and an oxygen store setpoint value (OSc). The setpoint (OSc) is defined, for each value of the gas flow rate (Qech) crossing the catalytic converter and of the temperature (Tcat) of said catalytic converter, within a range between a minimum and a maximum oxygen quantity threshold (OSmin, OSmax); when these thresholds are exceeded this corresponds, respectively, to an onset of a leakage of carbon monoxide or nitrogen oxides.
