Method for determining the dew point in an exhaust line and apparatus for determinig the dew point in an exhaust line

A method is provided for determining the dew-point in an exhaust of an internal combustion engine. A stored value S is compared with a dew point threshold, whereby the stored value is calculated based on the quantity of the injected fuel, on the engine' s speed. If the quantity of injected fuel...

Zusammenfassung:A method is provided for determining the dew-point in an exhaust of an internal combustion engine. A stored value S is compared with a dew point threshold, whereby the stored value is calculated based on the quantity of the injected fuel, on the engine' s speed. If the quantity of injected fuel is below a first quantity threshold Q1, the stored value S is decreased. S is also decreased if the engine speed is below a first second speed threshold n1 and the quantity of injected fuel is below a second quantity threshold Q2. If, the fuel quantity is equal to or higher than the second quantity threshold Q2, S is increased. It is also increased if the fuel quantity is at least as large as the first quantity threshold and the speed is at least as large as the speed threshold.
