Abstract
An internal combustion engine system is described herein. The system uses a NOx detector at the exhaust of an internal combustion engine to compensate for the effects of NO2 on the measurements of NOx detectors at other locations, such as the input and the output of an SCR system. A controller uses the difference in measured NOx volume fractions between the NOx detector at the exhaust and other NOx detectors to modify the operation of the combustion engine system as well as, in some examples, determine NO2 created by a device containing a precious metal catalyst, such as precious metal containing diesel particular filter (DPF) and/or a diesel oxidizing catalyst (DOC), that oxidizes a portion of the exhaust from NO to NO2.
