Patent ID: 11268421

Abstract:
The invention relates to a regeneration air system for an exhaust aftertreatment system of an internal combustion engine and to such an exhaust aftertreatment system. The regeneration air system comprises a regeneration air delivery element, a regeneration air duct, and a regeneration air valve. A sensor system is provided in the regeneration air duct with which a regeneration air mass flow {dot over (m)}SL can be determined exactly. The exhaust aftertreatment system comprises an exhaust system with an exhaust duct in which, in the direction of flow of an exhaust gas through the exhaust duct, a three-way catalytic converter is arranged underhood and a four-way catalytic converter is arranged downstream. A provision is made that an intake point for the regeneration air from the regeneration air system is formed on the exhaust duct downstream from the underhood three-way catalytic converter and upstream from the four-way catalytic converter.
