Abstract

See full text

An exemplary embodiment is a system, including an internal combustion engine fluidly coupled to an exhaust gas flowpath, an aftertreatment system disposed in the exhaust gas flowpath, where the aftertreatment system includes a NOx reduction catalyst. The exemplary system includes a processing subsystem having a controller, where the controller includes modules structured to functionally execute operations for determining a catalyst degradation. The modules include a test conditions module, a testing module, a monitoring module, and a catalyst aging module. The test conditions module interprets a test conditions event occurrence for the NOx reduction catalyst, the testing module commands a catalyst efficiency test in response to the test conditions event occurrence, the monitoring module interprets operating condition(s) indicative of a NOx conversion efficiency during the catalyst efficiency test, and the catalyst aging module determines a catalyst aging value in response to the at least one operating condition.
