| 20110232265 | Approach for Detecting Reductant Availability and Make-Up - An engine system having a reductant delivery and storage system is described. In one example, a physical condition associated with a reductant storage device is correlated with a characteristic of a fluid stored in the reductant storage device to determine the availability and make-up of the stored fluid. In response, engine operation may be adjusted. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20080276598 | Approach for Detecting Reductant Availability and Make-Up - A method of operating an internal combustion engine having a reductant delivery and storage system in an emission control system, comprising coordinating a physical condition associated with a reductant storage device, wherein the physical condition may correspond to a measure of liquid stored in the reductant storage device, with a characteristic of a fluid stored in the reductant storage device to determine the availability and make-up of the stored fluid, wherein at least one of the physical condition and the property of the stored fluid is determined by a plurality of sensors; and adjusting engine operation based on said coordinating the condition associated with the reductant storage device with the property of the stored fluid. | 11-13-2008 |
