Abstract

1/1 resumo "método e sistema para detectar cristais de agente de redução em um sistema de pós-tratamento de descarga de scr" a invenção se refere a um método relacionado a um sistema de scr pelo que agente de redução é fornecido para um fluxo de escape a montante de um catalisador de scr (260), o teor de nox nos gases de escape é medido a montante e a jusante do catalisador de scr (260) e qualquer presença de cristais de agente de redução no catalisador de scr (260) é detectada. o método compreende as etapas de primeiro desligar o fornecimento de agente de redução para o fluxo de escape, de forma que o catalisador de scr é substancialmente esvaziado de agente de redução vaporizado, e em seguida, em uma temperatura na qual cristais de agente de redução se vaporizam, medir teores de nox a montante e a jusante do catalisador de scr. os valores são comparados um com o outro e se a diferença entre os teores medidos de nox exceder um certo valor, é tomada como uma indicação de presença de cristais de agente de redução no catalisador de scr. o método compreende também determinar que os teores de nox sejam corretamente medidos, e -concluir que cristais de agente de redução estão presentes, desde que os teores de nox tenham sido corretamente medidos e a presença de cristais de agente de redução no catalisador de scr (260) tenha sido indicada. a invenção se refere também a um produto de programa de computador compreendendo código de programa (p) para implementação de o método. a invenção se refere também a um sistema de scr e um veículo automotor (100, 110) equipado com o sistema.
