Method and Device for Determining an Oxygen Storage Capacity of a Catalytic Converter of an Internal Combustion Engine and Method and Device for Determining a Dynamic Time Duration for Exhaust Probes of an Internal Combustion Engine

摘要

An exhaust as catalytic converter is laden with oxygen until it is saturated at least upstream of an exhaust as probe. A predefined first rich air/fuel ration is set in a combustion chamber of a cylinder. A first oxygen storage capacity value is determined as a function of the measurement signal of an exhaust as probe and the predefined first rich air/fuel ratio. The exhaust as catalytic converter is laden with oxygen until it is saturated. A predefined second rich air/fuel ration is set in the combustion chamber of the cylinder. A second oxygen storage capacity value is determined as a function of the measurement signal of the exhaust as probe and the predefined second rich air/fuel ration. A corrected oxygen storage capacity value is determined as a function of the first and second oxygen storage capacity values.
