PROCESS FOR REDUCING POLLUTANT EMISSIONS OF A DIESEL ENGINE EQUIPPED WITH AN OXIDATION-TYPE CATALYTIC CONVERTER

摘要

A method for reducing pollutant emissions from a Diesel engine, is performed during cold starting, partial load and/or idling. The Diesel engine has a downstream oxidation-type catalytic converter with freely penetrable channels and an inflow side having at least one electrically heatable portion. The electrically heatable portion is heated before and/or after starting of the Diesel engine to a temperature at which deposited soot ignites.
