Latest Patents
Stefan D Peter holds a patent for a process aimed at regenerating a nitrogen oxides storage catalyst. This invention provides a comprehensive method and device for the regeneration of such catalysts in diesel engine exhaust systems. The process includes two distinct regeneration strategies. The first strategy is employed when the exhaust gas temperature exceeds a certain threshold, involving a shift in the air/fuel ratio from lean to rich during the initial regeneration phase. The second strategy is utilized when the exhaust gas temperature is below the threshold, alternating the air/fuel ratio between lean and rich values, creating a sequence of rich and lean pulses during the subsequent regeneration period. This innovative approach addresses critical challenges in emissions control.
