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 (51)

1. An exhaust system comprising:

an engine adapted to generate exhaust gas while burning fuel and air;

an intake pipe connected to and supplying the air to the engine;

an exhaust pipe connected to the engine, the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust pipe;

an SCR catalyst mounted on the exhaust pipe and adapted to reduce nitrogen oxide contained in the exhaust gas using a reducing agent;

a reducing agent supplier mounted on the exhaust pipe between the engine and the SCR catalyst and adapted to inject the reducing agent;

an input variable detector adapted to detect input variables; and

a controller including a control logic for calculating an injection amount of the reducing agent for the SCR catalyst and adapted to control the reducing agent supplier according to the injection amount of the reducing agent,

wherein the controller is adapted to discretize the input variables, to standardize the discretized input variables, and to correct the control logic in response to determining that the discretized input variables are within a correction range, and

wherein the controller discretizes the input variables by 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 exhaust system of claim 1 , wherein the controller corrects the control logic when a time for which the discretized input variables are within the correction range is longer than or equal to a predetermined time.

3. The exhaust system of claim 1 , wherein the controller standardizes the discretized input variables 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 exhaust system of claim 3 , wherein the controller determines that the discretized input variables are within the correction range in response to determining that inequalities abs{f Temp −n Temp }<Δ T range and abs{f dm _ EG −n dm _ EG }<Δdm 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 exhaust system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is adapted to interpolate the control logic in response to determining that the discretized input variables are not within the correction range.

6. The exhaust system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is adapted to correct the control logic with respect to the standardized input variables.
