Controlling a Desuiphation Process of a Lean NOx trap

The invention provides a method of controlling a desuiphation process of a lean NOx trap (281), the method comprising cycles of the following steps, starting 20 a lean phase (510, fig.4) of the desuiphation process (DeSOx), defining 21' an adaptive minimum duration for said lean phase (510, fig...

Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a method of controlling a desuiphation process of a lean NOx trap (281), the method comprising cycles of the following steps, starting 20 a lean phase (510, fig.4) of the desuiphation process (DeSOx), defining 21' an adaptive minimum duration for said lean phase (510, fig.4) based on the rich phase duration of the previous cycle, starting 22 a rich phase (520, fig,4) of a desuiphation process, if activation conditions 21" of said rich phase are met, checking 23 deactivation conditions of said rich phase (520, fig.4) and ending the rich phase, when such deactivation conditions are met. The rich phase activation and deactivation conditions can be that the engine is operating inside a permitted area of an engine map, and the exhaust temperature (500, fig.4) is in a range between a lower and upper thresholds.
