Method and system for diagnosing efficiency of an aftertreatment system of an internal combustion engine

An aftertreatment system for an internal combustion system includes an exhaust duct, an oxidation catalyst disposed in the exhaust duct and a particulate filter disposed in the exhaust duct downstream of the oxidation catalyst. The internal combustion engine is operated to perform a regeneration pro...

Zusammenfassung:An aftertreatment system for an internal combustion system includes an exhaust duct, an oxidation catalyst disposed in the exhaust duct and a particulate filter disposed in the exhaust duct downstream of the oxidation catalyst. The internal combustion engine is operated to perform a regeneration process of the particulate filter. A first value of exhaust gas temperature in the exhaust duct between the oxidation catalyst and the particulate filter is determined. A second value of exhaust gas temperature in the exhaust duct downstream of the particulate filter is determined. A malfunctioning of the oxidation catalyst is determined when the first value of exhaust gas temperature is below a first predetermined threshold value thereof and contemporaneously the second value of exhaust gas temperature is above a second predetermined threshold value thereof during the regeneration process.
