Problems solved by technology

This control concept therefore has the disadvantage that, with the aid of the voltage of the stepped lambda sensor downstream of the three-way catalytic converter, the control concept only recognizes the departure of the conversion window later.
This is based on the fact that with decreasing oxygen storage capacity, the conversion capacity of the catalytic converter also decreases as a rule of thumb

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method (200) for ascertaining a catalytic converter state, wherein an exhaust-gas catalytic converter (130) is monitored on the basis of a catalytic converter model. Here, the catalytic converter model is adapted (250) in a manner dependent on measured values detected by means of one or more sensors (145, 147), wherein a frequency and / or a degree of the adaptation of the catalytic converter model is detected (260). The catalytic converter state is ascertained (270) as non-critical if the frequency and / or the degree of the adaptation do not exceed a predeterminable threshold value or is ascertained (270) as critical if the frequency and / or the degree of the adaptation exceed the predeterminable threshold value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for determining the state of a catalytic converter, as well as a computing unit and a computer program for carrying out the method. Background technique [0002] Modern motor vehicles are frequently equipped with catalytic converters for aftertreatment of the exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine. In many cases, these catalytic converters are monitored and / or regulated. [0003] In the case of incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture in a gasoline engine, except nitrogen (N 2 ), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and water (H 2 O) in addition to a large number of combustion products, among them hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NO X ) are legally limited. According to today's prior art, only catalytic exhaust gas aftertreatment can be used to maintain effective exhaust gas limit values ​​for motor vehicles. The pollutant components mentioned can be converted, for example, by using a ...
