Abstract

A device and a method for deNOxing exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine includes taking into account an amount of gaseous reducing agent (ammonia) that escapes while the internal combustion engine is at a stand-still as a result of temperature influences in a calculation of the amount of reducing-agent solution (urea) that is to be metered when the internal combustion engine is operating. The gaseous reducing agent is passed to the reduction catalytic converter through a pressure-relief line that includes a pressure-control valve, and, in the method, the amount is recorded by a flowmeter.
