Abstract(E)This work is a part of medium-duty Low NOx technology development project with a focus on evaluating a combination of engine and advanced aftertreatment for 0.02 g/bhp-hr NOx regulation proposed by CARB (California air resource board). In this project, a control oriented chemical kinetics model of SCR (Selective catalytic reduction) was used in the aftertreatment controller that is susceptible to performance degradation due to hydrothermal and chemical aging. This paper focuses on modeling the NOx conversion and NH3 storage characteristics using a controls oriented SCR plant model which is further used for a model-based urea dosing scheme. A set of steady state reactor tests were used to calibrate the SCR performance at degreened, hydrothermal only and hydrothermal + chemical aging conditions and also to determine inhibition factors related to aging. The resultant model is capable of simulating SCR performance deterioration such as a reduction in NOx conversion and NH3 storage. A non-linear aging profile was observed for Lo-SCR and downstream SCR showing a change in the NOx conversion in the aged system when compared to a degreened system. Upon chemical aging further deterioration of low temperature performance was observed. This aging phenomenon impacts the dosing control strategy of the system. The results on controller performance for a set of Heavy Duty Federal Test Protocol(FTP), Ramp Modal Cycle (RMC), and Low Load Cycle (LLC) are presented.

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.
If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).
Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.
Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)"  X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"
If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)
If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.
The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.
