| abstract |
A method and apparatus for managing heat in exhaust gas in an aftertreatment system that uses a lean NOx adsorber is disclosed. A de-sulfation hot line and cooling line are used to control exhaust gas temperatures for adsorption, regenenation and de-sulfation cycles of the aftertreatment system where each cycle may require different chemical and exhaust gas temperatures independent of the engine operation. The method and apparatus includes a SOx adsorber to provide greater durability for the subject invention. |
