Abstract:
The invention relates to a metering system for introducing a reducing agent, in particular an aqueous urea solution, into an exhaust conduit (4) of an internal combustion engine (1), the metering system having a reducing agent tank (19) that is connected to a spray pipe (5) via at least one metering means pump (15), an air pump (7) also being provided for generating compressed air, and the reducing agent being introduced with the support of compressed air. A device is provided for introducing a reducing agent into an exhaust conduit (4), that is characterised by a simple design. This is achieved by the fact that the metering means pump (15) is actuated by compressed air, and that the air pump (7) is a central compressed air source for providing compressed air for introducing the reducing agent with the support of compressed air and for actuating the metering means pump (15) with compressed air.
Abstract:
A catalyst system includes a three-way catalyst (120,220) that receives exhaust gases from an engine (110,210) and an ammonia slip catalyst (130,230) that receives exhaust gases from the three-way catalyst. An air injection component (150,250) is configured between the three-way catalyst and the ammonia slip catalyst. A first sensor determines first exhaust gases data and transmits that data to a controller (180,280), while a second sensor determines second exhaust gases data and transmit that data to a controller. The controller estimates unmeasured exhaust gases data based on the data received from the first and second sensors and determines a setting of a component of the system and/or of the engine based on the unmeasured exhaust gases data.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle diesel engine having an exhaust gas cleaning system that comprises an oxidation catalyst (34), a particulate filter (35), and an SCR catalyst, in which method the exhaust gas emitted by the diesel engine (1) is conducted through the oxidation catalyst (34) before it is conducted through the particulate filter (35) and the SCR catalyst. According to the invention, the particulate filter (35) is regenerated from time to time using thermal combustion of soot, wherein, during regeneration of the particulate filter (35), the diesel engine (1) is operated at an air-fuel ratio that has a lambda value (λ) of at least approximately 1.0, with air being added to the exhaust gas after it leaves the oxidation catalyst (34) but before it enters into the particulate filter (35) such that combustion of soot deposited on the particulate filter (35) is made possible.

Abstract:
An internal combustion engine is capable of improving cleaning efficiency by preventing an increase in the temperature of the exhaust gas to lessen the deterioration of the catalyst. The internal combustion engine 1 includes a convergent section 32, a divergent section 33, and a branch section 21. The branch section 21 branches a shock wave 35, propagating in a downstream direction at a higher velocity than exhaust gas 36 flowing into an exhaust path 16 from a combustion chamber 10 when an exhaust valve 9 is opened, from a portion of the exhaust path 16 which is upstream with respect to the divergent section 33, and propagates the shock wave 35 back to the exhaust path 16. The exhaust gas 36 is caused to pass the convergent section 32 and to collide against the shock wave 35 between the branch section 21 and the divergent section 33, thus to increase the pressure of the exhaust gas 36 in the convergent section 32. Such exhaust gas 36 is caused to pass the divergent section 33 to generate a new shock wave 35b and thus to decrease the temperature of the exhaust gas. A catalyst 41 of an exhaust cleaning device 40 is provided in a portion of the exhaust path 16 which is downstream with respect to the divergent section 33.

An air-fuel ratio control system of an internal combustion engine comprises a fuel amount determiner for determining a fuel command value. The fuel amount determiner has a feedback control mode in which the fuel amount determiner determines a running state reference coefficient corresponding to a running state detected by a running state detector based on a first correspondence stored in the memory, determines a running state compensation coefficient corresponding to the running state detected by the running state detector based on a second correspondence stored in the memory, determines a feedback compensation coefficient used to cause an air-fuel ratio to reach a value closer to a theoretical air-fuel ratio based on an output of the air-fuel ratio sensor, and determines the fuel command value using a formula including the determined running state reference coefficient, the determined running state compensation coefficient, and the determined feedback compensation coefficient.
