<p>The invention relates to a method for control of a combustion engine (1) having means (4, 5, 17) for generation of an air/fuel mixture to each cylinder (3) of the engine (1), an exhaust system (7, 8) which is connected to the engine (1), an exhaust catalyst (10) and a NOx absorbent (11) which are provided in the exhaust system (7, 8), which method comprises: control of a said means (4, 5, 17) in a first operating condition for generation of a comparatively lean exhaust gas mixture to said NOx adsorbent (11) for adsorption of NOx compounds in said exhaust gas mixture, and control of said means (4, 5, 17) in a second operating condition for generation of a comparatively rich exhaust gas mixture to said NOx absorbent (11) for desorption of NOx compounds in said exhaust gas mixture. The invention is characterized in that it comprises: detection of whether at least one condition in the vehicle prevails which corresponds to an initiation of a change-over from said first operating condition to said second operating condition, wherein an adjustment of said air/fuel mixture to the engine (1) is carried out, wherein said generation of a rich exhaust gas mixture is initiated for desorption of NOx compounds in the NOx adsorbent (11) depending on said condition. The invention also relates to a device for accomplishing said method. By means of the invention, an improved regeneration of a NOx adsorbent is provided which provides a reduced fuel consumption, less emissions and an improved comfort as compared with previously known systems.</p> |
