Abstract

See full text

An internal combustion engine system includes an engine and an aftertreatment system that is connected to the engine to receive exhaust flow from the engine. The aftertreatment system includes a passive storage device for passively storing NOx and/or hydrocarbons produced by the engine during cold start and low temperature operating conditions, and a NOx reduction catalyst downstream of the passive storage device for receiving the NOx released from the passive storage device when temperature conditions in the exhaust flow and/or NOx reduction catalyst are above an effective temperature for NOx reduction. Diagnostics of the passive storage device and/or a sensor downstream of the passive storage device are contemplated that are based at least in part on an expected sensor output in response to a storage mode of operation or a release mode of operation of the passive storage device. Furthermore, reductant injection control is provided in response to a NOx amount released from the passive storage device.
