Disclosed is a device for injecting ammonia in gaseous form into an exhaust line of a combustion engine, the device including a supervisor, an evaporation chamber incorporating a heater for heating a quantity of reducing agent thus releasing ammonia in gaseous form that exits the evaporation chamber via a pipe opening into the exhaust line. The control supervisor is associated with an internal first pressure sensor housed in the evaporation chamber and with a second pressure sensor intended to be housed in the exhaust line, including a calculator calculating a quantity of ammonia to be injected into the exhaust line at a given instant as a function of the pressure values from the first and second pressure sensors.

The disclosure relates to a method for determining the icing condition of a component of the exhaust-gas system of a motor vehicle that is not arranged directly in the exhaust-gas mass flow and/or of the feed line of the component. The method includes: determining a water quantity actually present in the component and in the feed line thereof and the state of aggregation of the water quantity; determining an energy quantity required for deicing and for volatilizing the water quantity; and determining an energy quantity supplied for deicing and for volatilizing the water quantity by radiated heat from components arranged directly in the exhaust-gas mass flow of the exhaust-gas system of the motor vehicle to the surroundings. The method also includes determining the icing condition of the component by comparing the energy quantity supplied for deicing and for volatilization with the energy quantity required for deicing and for volatilization.

A control device can execute a first diagnosis process of, when first execution conditions are met, diagnosing whether an air-fuel ratio sensor has an abnormality while executing a motoring process, and a second diagnosis process of, when second execution conditions are met, diagnosing whether a GPF has an abnormality while executing the motoring process. In an execution determination process, the control device prohibits execution of both the first diagnosis process and the second diagnosis process when at least either the first execution conditions or the second execution conditions are not met, and permits execution of both the first diagnosis process and the second diagnosis process when both the first execution conditions and the second execution conditions are met.

A method (500) for ascertaining a fill level of soot particles in a soot particulate filter (1), comprising acquiring (510) a time course of a pressure of an exhaust gas (4) upstream (16) of the soot particulate filter (1) and/or a differential pressure over the soot particulate filter (1) as a pressure signal, transforming (520) the pressure signal into a pressure frequency spectrum, ascertaining (530) a spectral power density in the pressure frequency spectrum, and ascertaining (540) the fill level of the soot particles in the soot particulate filter (1) in dependence on the spectral power density.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems for estimating exhaust air mass-flow in an aftertreatment system. An embodiment includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system including at least one catalyst, a differential pressure (dP) sensor operatively coupled to the SCR system, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The dP sensor is configured to measure a value of a differential pressure across the SCR system, determine a first output value from the dP sensor, and a first temperature output value from the temperature sensor. The first output value is indicative of the value of the differential pressure across the SCR system. The first temperature output value is indicative of a temperature of the SCR system. The controller is further configured to estimate an exhaust air mass-flow output from the aftertreatment system using the first output value from the dP sensor and the first temperature output value from the temperature sensor.

A method is described for monitoring an exhaust aftertreatment system of a combustion engine, with a pressure difference sensor that captures a first pressure difference between a first sampling point and a second sampling point. A second pressure difference between the second sampling point and the environment is captured. A defect is detected based on the second pressure difference.
