Fuel heating

A vehicle comprising: an internal combustion engine configured to generate an engine torque using high-gasoline content fuel; at least one fuel injector configured to deliver the high-gasoline content fuel to a cylinder of the engine; at least one heating element configured to heat the high-gasoline content fuel prior to it being delivered to the cylinder by the fuel injector; a fuel pump connected to the heating element to supply high-gasoline to the heating element, the fuel pump being configured to pressurise the high-gasoline content fuel; and an engine controller configured to control the engine torque generated by the engine and control the fuel pressure generated by the fuel pump, the engine controller using a heated-fuel behaviour model of the engine, when the fuel is being heated by the heating element(s), to: (i) control an amount of fuel delivered by the fuel injector, the heated-fuel behaviour model causing a reduced fuel injection amount for a given engine torque relative to unheated high-gasoline content fuel; and (ii) cause a higher fuel pressure to be generated by the fuel pump relative to unheated high-gasoline content fuel.

Systems and methods for particulate filter regeneration

Methods and systems are provided for regenerating an exhaust particulate filter based on a projected vehicle drive cycle and catalyst ammonia storage level. In one example, a method may include scheduling a PF regeneration during a regeneration window to maintain a threshold ammonia level in an exhaust catalyst, at the end of the drive cycle.

Exhaust gas treatment system, and method for heating an exhaust gas catalytic converter

An exhaust gas treatment system (10) for treating exhaust gases (12) of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle has an exhaust gas catalytic converter, a pipe piece (14) connected to an input side of the exhaust gas catalytic converter for feeding in exhaust gases (12) of the internal combustion engine, and a heating line (20) that opens into the pipe piece (14) for feeding heating gas (16) into the pipe piece (14) for heating the exhaust gas catalytic converter to the light-off temperature. The heating gas (16) is fed in as a vortex flow that rotates about a longitudinal axis of the pipe piece (14) to achieve homogeneous thorough mixing with the exhaust gas (12) with rapid heating across an entire cross-section of the exhaust gas catalytic converter.
