The disclosure relates to an exhaust gas aftertreatment system for treating exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine. The exhaust gas aftertreatment system includes an exhaust gas catalyst that includes an exhaust gas catalysis portion and a heating element. The heating element is configured to heat the exhaust gas catalysis portion. The exhaust gas aftertreatment system also includes: a voltage source which supplies the heating element with electric power for heating the heating element, and a DC to DC converter which is configured to control the electric power supply from the voltage source to the heating element. The exhaust gas aftertreatment system also includes a control unit which is configured to control the DC to DC converter based on the required electric power to heat the exhaust gas catalysis portion.

System and methods are described for optimizing exhaust flow rate and temperature during specified operational periods warm-up and keep-warm conditions, by minimizing or maximizing heat flux during those specified operational periods.

When a catalyst temperature of a catalyst device is at or below a lower limit air-fuel ratio richness control is prohibited. When a first timing, where an estimated value of a NOx storage amount has reached an enrichment start threshold value, and a second timing, based on a set interval time in an enrichment interval time map, are both satisfied, the control is started. The second timing is corrected by multiplying the set interval time by an enrichment interval correction coefficient preset based on the catalyst temperature and a storage ratio of the estimated value of the NOx storage amount to an enrichment start threshold value of the NOx storage amount. The frequency of the air-fuel ratio richness control of a catalyst device configured to recover a purification capacity of a catalyst is reduced, and the catalyst temperature is raised while preventing white smoke development and hydrocarbon slip, to thereby achieve improvement in exhaust gas composition and improvement in fuel efficiency.

Systems and apparatuses include a diesel exhaust fluid tank, a first temperature sensor positioned within the diesel exhaust fluid tank and structured to provide first temperature information indicative of a first temperature, and a second temperature sensor positioned within the diesel exhaust fluid tank and structured to provide second temperature information indicative of a second temperature. The systems and apparatuses further include one or more processing circuits including one or more memory devices coupled to one or more processors, the one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to provide energy to a heating system based on the first temperature information and the second temperature information.

An exemplary vehicle exhaust system includes, among other things, a housing defining a fluid chamber and at least one pressure sensor positioned within the fluid chamber. The housing has a fluid inlet configured to receive fluid from a fluid supply and a fluid outlet. A heater heats fluid supplied from the fluid supply such that heated fluid can be injected into a vehicle exhaust component via the fluid outlet. A controller is configured to receive pressure data from the at least one pressure sensor and to determine optimal timing for dosing of the vehicle exhaust component based on the pressure data.

There is provided the diagnostic device for a sensor which is arranged in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine and detects a particulate matter amount in exhaust, the diagnostic device including a time-rate-of-change calculation unit which calculates a time rate of change of the particulate matter amount detected by the sensor during a period in which a fuel injection amount of the internal combustion engine is equal to or less than a predetermined injection amount threshold, and an abnormality determination unit which determines an abnormality of the sensor based on the time rate of change of the particulate matter amount calculated by the time-rate-of-change calculation unit.

A vehicle includes an internal combustion engine, an electric machine, and a controller. The electric machine is rotatably coupled to the engine and is configured to deliver electrical power to electrical accessories. The controller is programmed to, in response to a control signal loss between the electric machine and the controller, limit torque output of electric machine to less than a torque threshold that corresponds to the power threshold. The controller is further programmed to, in response an accessory power demand being greater than the power threshold, control the engine to power the electric machine to increase the torque output of electric machine to greater than the torque threshold to meet the accessory power demand.
