Abstract

A process for reducing nitrogen oxides on a SCR catalyst disposed in an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine is performed by a device adapted to introduce ammonia (NH3) into the exhaust gas flow of the exhaust gas system before it reaches the SCR catalyst. The device includes a heatable pressure-tight converter, an NH3 store and a control unit with control signals processing engine operating characteristics and determining therefrom the NOx output for controlling a timed valve for injection of an NH3 dose.
