Patent attributes
The invention concerns a procedure to heat a reducing agent generation system of an exhaust gas aftertreatment system of an internal combustion engine by combustion of fuel, whereby the reducing agent is produced for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine in the intermittently operated reducing agent generation system, whereby the reducing agent generation system consists of a plasma burner, a mixing chamber located downstream or upstream from the plasma chamber, an oxidation reformation unit as well as a nitrogen oxide storage/ammonia production unit and whereby nitrogen oxide is produced in a plasma in the plasma burner. The invention concerns additionally a corresponding device.
