Abstract

An aftertreatment system for a diesel engine may include a diesel particulate filter configured for placement in fluid communication with the diesel engine to receive an exhaust flow. The system may also include a selective catalytic reduction system configured for arrangement downstream of the diesel particulate filter and a NOsensor configured to measure a NOconcentration in the exhaust flow entering the selective catalytic reduction system. The system may also include a controller configured to estimate a ratio of NOto NOdownstream of the diesel particulate filter and based on a factor affecting the generation of NOupstream of the selective catalytic reduction system. The controller may also be configured to adjust the measured NOconcentration based on the ratio to provide an estimated actual NOconcentration and dose diesel exhaust fuel into the exhaust flow based on the estimated actual NOconcentration.
