摘要:
An exhaust manifold (2) of an engine exhaust apparatus includes a plurality of exhaust branches (B1-B4) and a straight pipe section (SP). The exhaust branches (B1-B4) extend toward a confluence portion (SP) from respective upstream ends (21) to be connected with cylinders of an engine. The straight pipe section (SP) extends from the confluence portion towards a dowstream end adapted to be connected to an exhaust purifying catalyst.

An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine provided with a NOx trap catalyst which is disposed in an exhaust gas passageway and arranged to trap NOx when the air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas flowing to the NOx trap catalyst is lean and to release and reduce trapped NOx when the air-fuel ratio is rich. The air-fuel ratio control system comprises a sensor for detecting an air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas in the exhaust gas passageway downstream of the NOx trap catalyst. Additionally, a control circuit is provided and configured to cause the engine to operate at a rich air-fuel ratio to accomplish a rich air-fuel ratio engine operation after an engine operation at a lean air-fuel ratio, and continue the rich air-fuel ratio engine operation for a duration even after the sensor has detected that the air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas is rich.

An air intake structure is provided with an air intake control valve (20) disposed in the air intake passage (13). The air intake control valve (20) has a valve element (23) pivotally mounted at one end adjacent to a passage wall of the air intake passage (13). The air intake control valve (20) is configured to control a gas flow based on the rotational position of the valve element (23). A horizontal partitioning plate (25) extends along the flow direction of an intake air. The horizontal partitioning plate (25) can be stationary or moveable with the valve element (23). The valve element (23) has a swirl-producing notch (23c) and a vertical partitioning plate (26) extends substantially perpendicular to the horizontal partitioning plate (25) from a position corresponding to a vertical side edge (23f) of the swirl-producing notch (23c) when the air intake control valve (20) is fully closed. The vertical partitioning plate (26) can be stationary or moveable with the valve element (23).
摘要:
In an engine having first (#2,#3) and second (#1,#4) cylinder groups, a first sensor (12) senses an air-fuel ratio of an exhaust gas mixture into a first catalytic converter (7) for the first cylinder group, a second sensor (13) senses an air-fuel ratio of an exhaust gas mixture into a second catalytic converter (8) for the second cylinder group. A controller (11) normally controls the air fuel ratios of the first and second cylinder groups independently by using first and second air-fuel ratio feedback correction coefficients. When a diagnosis for the catalytic converters is required, the controller measures a rich time and a lean time in the air-fuel ratio variation of the second cylinder group in accordance with an output of the second sensor to determine a second cylinder group's rich/lean ratio between the rich time and the lean time, calculates a correction quantity to bring the second cylinder group's ratio closer to a target ratio, and determines a modified coefficient by modifying the first air-fuel ratio feedback correction coefficient with the correction quantity feedback-controls the air-fuel ratio of the second cylinder group with the modified coefficient as the second air-fuel ratio feedback correction coefficient.

摘要:
An exhaust emission control system for an internal combustion engine diagnoses a NOx storage capacity of a NOx storage type three-way catalyst disposed in an exhaust passage. A control unit of the exhaust emission control system includes a calculating section which calculates a quantity of fuel to a cylinder to bring an air fuel ratio of air-fuel mixture closed to a target ratio and to output an injection signal to a fuel injector based on the calculated quantity of fuel, an executing section which executes a rich-spike treatment for temporally enriching the air-fuel ratio of air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine in a lean condition, and a diagnosing section which diagnoses a NOx storage capacity of said NOx storage type three-way catalyst on the basis of a peak value of the air-fuel ratio during the rich-spike treatment.
摘要:
An exhaust emission control system for an internal combustion engine amounted on an automotive vehicle. The exhaust emission control system comprises a first catalyst disposed in an exhaust gas passage of the engine. The first catalyst functions to store NOx in an atmosphere having an air-fuel ratio leaner than a stoichiometric level and to release NOx in an atmosphere having an air-fuel ratio richer than the stoichiometric level and reduce released NOx in presence of HC and CO. A second catalyst is disposed in the exhaust gas passage upstream of the first catalyst and having an oxygen absorbing ability. A control unit is provided including a first section for accomplishing an enrichment treatment by enriching stepwise an air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture to be supplied to the engine to an enrichment degree at a timing at which a lean operation is changed to a stoichiometric operation in the engine, and recovering the enriched air-fuel ratio to the stoichiometric level at a recovery rate immediately after the enriching the air-fuel ratio. A second section of the control unit is for estimating the oxygen absorbing ability of the second catalyst. A third section of the control unit is for correcting the enrichment degree to decrease in the step wise enricbing as the estimated oxygen absorbing ability decreases.
