    Abstract: PURPOSE:To maintain an electric resistance between terminal boards to an almost constant level and maintain a specified amt. of hydrogen to be generated without increasing the electric power consumption by having metallic electrodes carried on a pair of current collectors. CONSTITUTION:The metallic electrodes 13 are joined by mechanical press fixing force to both surfaces of an ion exchange resin membrane 11. A cathode terminal board 14 and an anode terminal board 15 assure the volume of an electrolytic cell chamber 16 by a spacer 17 and are inserted and held to bolts 18. The metallic electrodes 13 are carried by a pair of the current collectors 12 by this constitution. Since the joining attained is between the same kinds, peeling does not arise in spite of freezing and vibrating. Then, the metallic electrodes 13 and the ion exchange resin membrane 11 are maintained at almost the same electric resistance from the start of use. The electric resistance between the metallic electrodes 13 and a pair of the current collectors 12 is kept small. As a result, the specified electric resistance is maintained between the cathode terminal board 14 and the anode terminal board 15 and the specified current relating to a hydrogen generation reaction is maintained.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To enable supply of pressurized hydrogen gas inside a hydrogen tank into an exhaust pipe with certainty and speed immediately after starting an engine in winder, for instance. CONSTITUTION:A hydrogen generator 4 houses a cel 4a which generates hydrogen gas through water electrolysis. A water tank 2 is provided to supply water to the hydrogen generator 4. A water separator 4 separates the hydrogen gas generated in the hydrogen generator 4 from water flowed together with the hydrogen gas and feeds back the water to the water tank 2. A hydrogen tank 6 stores antifreeze and also stores the hydrogen gas component separated by the water separator 5 with a pressure higher than that inside an exhaust pipe. A gas-liquid separator takes in the pressurized hydrogen gas stored in the hydrogen tank 6 together with the antifreeze, feeds back the antifreeze to the hydrogen tank 6, and discharges the pressurized hydrogen gas component to the exhaust pipe.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obviate any engine stall by determining an increase or decrease of fuel injection quantity after judging of whether a torque drop in an engine is caused by rich or lean in an air-fuel ratio, and eliminating a system malfunction, such as compensating the injection fuel for increment, whereas the air-fuel ratio at transition is rich. CONSTITUTION:At the time of engine transition, a fuel injection quantity is compensated so as to make an engine generated torque detected and the desired torque found on the basis of a driving state equal to each other. In the above system, the presence of a misfire at the engine transition is detected by a means 201. In addition, when an engine generated torque immediately after the misfire happening at the engine transition is more than the specified value as well as when air-fuel ratio being fed to the engine is a rich state and less than the specified value, it is so judged that the air-fuel ratio being fed to the engine is in a lean state by a means 202. Moreover, when the air-fuel ratio is in the rich state, it is compensated in a direction of decreasing the fuel injection quantity, while the air-fuel ratio is in the lean state, it is controlled by a means 203 so as to compensate it in a direction of increasing the fuel injection quantity.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent worsening of drivability by correcting a fuel injection amount one by one according to a reduction amount when generation torque of an engine is reduced to a value lower than a given value during transient running of an engine and prohibiting sampling during correction of fuel injection. CONSTITUTION:Since, at the initial stage of acceleration during the use of heavy fuel, a learning value by light fuel is short in a fuel correction amount, the rise of torque is slow, and drivability is not excellent. Thus, in this case, it is preferable that a fuel injection amount is corrected one by one according to an amount of torque reduced from target torque. In which case, when, during transient running of an engine, generation torque of an engine is reduced to a value lower than a given value, a fuel injection amount is corrected one by one according to a reduction amount by means of a fuel injection amount correcting means 201. When a fuel injection amount is corrected by means of the fuel injection amount correcting means 201, sampling is prohibited by means of a sampling prohibiting means 202. This constitution prevents worsening of drivability during transient running of an engine.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve a cleaning rate by providing a HC shortage judging means, and injecting water into an intake system when a quantity of an activated seed generated by partial oxidation of HC is judged to be insufficient at the time of reducing NOx, in an internal combustion engine provided with a lean NOx catalyst in its exhaust system. CONSTITUTION:A lean NOx catalyst 6 which consists of zeolite for carrying transition metal or noble metal, and reduces NOx under presence of HC in oxidizing atmosphere, is provided in the exhaust system 4 of an internal combustion engine 2. A water injecting valve 18 for injecting water when it is switched ON is provided in this intake system 12 (or a combustion chamber). Pressure water supplied from a water pump 24 is supplied in the water injecting valve 18 through a water supplying pipe 22. It is judged by a control device 30 whether the operating condition is such that a quantity of an activated seed generated by partial oxidation of HC is insufficient for the quantity of activated seed required at the time of reducing NOx or not. And when it is judged to be in insufficient operating condition, such control is carried out as to inject water from the water injecting valve 18 into the intake system 12.
