Abstract

Disclosed are a method of correcting a control logic of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst and an exhaust system. The control logic may be adapted to calculate an injection amount of a reducing agent for the SCR catalyst at the least. The method may include detecting input variables including temperature of the SCR catalyst and exhaust flow rate, discretizing the input variables, standardizing the discretized input variables, determining whether the discretized input variables are within a correction range, and correcting the control logic of the SCR catalyst if the discretized input variables are within the correction range.

Claims (50)

1. A method of correcting a control logic of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst, wherein the control logic is adapted to calculate an injection amount of a reducing agent for the SCR catalyst at the least, the method comprising:

detecting, by a controller, input variables including temperature of the SCR catalyst and exhaust flow rate;

discretizing, by the controller, the input variables;

standardizing, by the controller, the discretized input variables;

determining, by the controller, whether the discretized input variables are within a correction range; and

correcting, by the controller, the control logic of the SCR catalyst in response to determine that the discretized input variables are within the correction range,

wherein the input variables are discretized from equations

wherein f Temp is discretized temperature of the SCR catalyst, T Cat is the temperature of the SCR catalyst, T 0 is reference temperature, ΔT Discret is unit temperature, f dm EG is discretized exhaust flow rate, dm EG is the exhaust flow rate, dm 0 is reference exhaust flow rate, and Δdm Discret is unit exhaust flow rate.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the correction of the control logic of the SCR catalyst is performed in response to determine that a time for which the discretized input variables are within the correction range is longer than or equal to a predetermined time.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the discretized input variables are standardized by equations

n Temp =int ( f Temp +0.5) and n dm EG =int ( f dm EG +0.5),

wherein n Temp is standardized temperature of the SCR catalyst and n dm EG is standardized exhaust flow rate.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the discretized input variables are determined to be within the correction range when inequalities abs{f Temp −n Temp }<Δ T range and abs{f dm EG −n dm EG }<Δ dm range are satisfied,

wherein Δ T range is a predetermined temperature range and Δ dm range is a predetermined exhaust flow rate range.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

interpolating, by the controller, the control logic of the SCR catalyst, in response to determine that the discretized input variables are not within the correction range.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the correction of the control logic of the SCR catalyst is performed with respect to the standardized input variables.
