Method for controlling an oxygen concentration

A method is disclosed for controlling a concentration of oxygen that is measured by an oxygen sensor of an after-treatment system of an internal combustion engine when a regeneration of an after-treatment device is required. The method may be a computer-implement method. An oxygen sensor target value is lowered in a stepped phase as a function of an exhaust gas flow speed as the exhaust gas passes through the after-treatment system. The oxygen sensor target value is lowered evenly as a function of the exhaust gas flow speed and by a filter phase when a measured air/fuel ratio value is less than or equal to an AFR threshold value and until the oxygen sensor target value is equal to an oxygen sensor final target value. The oxygen concentration is controlled by applying the oxygen sensor target value.

The exhaust gas purification controller is applied to a system with a catalyst and a supply valve for urea water. The exhaust gas purification controller performs an abnormality diagnosis of the supply valve, and includes a urea water filling portion, a valve opening command portion and an abnormality determiner. The urea water filling portion drives the pump at a start of operation of the exhaust gas purification system to start filling the supply passage with the urea water. The valve opening command portion outputs a valve opening command when a urea water pressure in the supply passage exceeds a predetermined valve opening pressure after filling the supply passage is started. The abnormality determiner determines presence or absence of a sticking abnormality of the supply valve based on the urea water pressure after the output of the valve opening command.
