Abstract
An exhaust aftertreatment system for a diesel engine includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device and a diesel oxidation catalyst upstream of the SCR device. A method for warming-up the SCR device includes monitoring a plurality of combustion input parameters during an SCR warm-up strategy, monitoring a first temperature and a second temperature within the aftertreatment system, providing a feedback adjustment term as a function of a deviation in the first temperature from a desired temperature only when the monitored first and second temperatures are within a predetermined adjustment range, and initiating an adjusted SCR warm-up strategy based on the feedback adjustment term to converge the first temperature toward the desired temperature.
