PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrain fuel consumption, while preventing clogging in an adding nozzle. SOLUTION: An adding pump 38 is connected to an adding nozzle 37 arranged on a cylinder head 15. The adding pump 38 supplies fuel to the adding nozzle 37. The adding nozzle 37 injects the supplied fuel into an exhaust port 32 of a cylinder 11. Operation of the adding pump 38 receives control of a control computer C. The control computer C estimates exhaust energy and a particulate matter discharge quantity, and specifies the injection timing for preventing the clogging based on a map Map1, the estimated exhaust energy and the estimated particulate matter discharge quantity.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine capable of inhibiting deterioration of fuel economy of the internal combustion engine due to wasteful PM regeneration control preceding execution of sulfur poisoning recovery control. SOLUTION: The exhaust emission control device terminates execution of PM regeneration control preceding execution of sulfur poisoning recovery control if PM accumulation amount in an exhaust system is less than predetermined value "a" which does not cause over temperature rise of NOx catalyst with accompanying execution of sulfur poisoning recovery control (S102, NO) at a time of request for execution of sulfur poisoning recovery, and executes PM recovery control preceding execution of sulfur poisoning recovery control only if PM accumulation amount is the predetermined value "a" or more (S102, YES). Consequently, deterioration of fuel economy of the internal combustion engine due to wasteful execution of PM recovery control under a state that there is no risk of over temperature rise of the NOx catalyst during execution of sulfur poisoning recovery control without PM recovery control with preceding execution of S poisoning recovery control can be inhibited.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine, capable of efficiently restoring the NOx storing capability of a NOx storage reduction catalyst. SOLUTION: The device comprises the NOx storage reduction catalyst 30 provided in an exhaust passage 22 of the internal combustion engine 10 which executes lean burn, and a fuel addition valve 26 provided in the exhaust passage 22 on the upstream side beyond the NOx storage reduction catalyst 30. The NOx storage reduction catalyst 30 occludes NOx in exhaust gas when the air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas flowing thereinto is lean, and reduces the NOx being occluded with the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas to be rich. By adding fuel to the exhaust gas with fuel injection from the fuel addition valve 26, the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is temporarily changed to be rich to restore the NOx storing capability of the NOx storage reduction catalyst 30. Along with fuel addition by the fuel addition valve 26, post injection control or EGR amount increasing control is executed to change the combustion air-fuel ratio to be rich.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a controller and an exhaust gas temperature estimating method for an internal combustion engine capable of accurately estimating an exhaust gas temperature. SOLUTION: This controller for the internal combustion engine calculates the estimated value of a first exhaust gas temperature (exhaust gas temperature at an engine body 11) by using a rounded value set based on a fuel injection amount and an air suction amount, and the estimated value of a second exhaust gas temperature (exhaust gas temperature on the upstream side of an NOx catalytic converter 72) based on the estimated value of the first exhaust gas temperature. Furthermore, the controller determines whether it performs a temperature raising control treatment or not based on the catalyst floor temperature of the NOx catalytic converter 72 estimated through the estimated value of the second exhaust gas temperature in a PM regenerative control.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately remove particulates deposited around a catalyst positioned on the upstream-most side among catalysts installed in an exhaust system. SOLUTION: A burnup control in which a fuel is concentrically and intermittently added from an adding valve 46 and the stop of the addition of the fuel are repeated is performed at the end of a PM regenerative control to burn out PM remaining at the exhaust gas upstream side end of an NOx catalytic converter 25. A rest time B which is the stop time of the concentrated and intermittent addition of fuel in the burnup control is adjusted to be more increased as a final target floor temperature Tt is more lowered. When the engine is operated under such environmental conditions that an exhaust gas temperature is lowered in the burnup control, the final target floor temperature Tt is corrected to a lower side so that the rest time B can be increased. As a result, the length of the rest time B can be increased to a level necessary for removing unburned fuel components remaining on the catalyst by the flow of exhaust gases, and the deactivating phenomenon of the catalyst can be suppressed.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively prevent overheat of an exhaust emission control filter for an internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: Risk of over heat of the exhaust emission control filter is determined (S102) based on whether estimated maximum bed temperature estimated from a map based on intake air quantity reduction quantity and PM accumulation quantity exceeds over-heat determination temperature or not at a time of PM regeneration control process. If there is a risk of overheat (YES in S102), exhaust gas flow quantity increase process is performed by intake air quantity increase process by fully opening a throttle valve and fully closing an EGR valve (S104). In fuel injection quantity control process, exhaust gas flow quantity is secured by idling speed increase at a time of idling. Consequently, since heat generated in the exhaust emission control filter is positively transmitted and emitted to outside, overheat of the exhaust emission control filter can be effectively prevented.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid the emission of a large amount of HC into the atmosphere when SOx occluded in a NOx catalyst is released by SOx poisoning recovery control, in an exhaust gas cleaning system of an internal combustion engine having a NOx catalyst for occluding and reducing NOx in exhaust gas. SOLUTION: In the exhaust gas cleaning system of the internal combustion engine having the NOx catalyst for occluding and reducing NOx in the exhaust gas, the quantity of SOx occluded in the NOx catalyst is estimated when the SOx occluded in the NOx catalyst is released, and the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing to the NOx catalyst is shifted to the rich side as the quantity of the SOx estimated decreases so as to lower the HC concentration of the exhaust gas flowing out of the NOx catalyst to a concentration not higher than a specified concentration.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a controller for an internal combustion engine capable of carrying out highly stable and precise control without influence of fluctuation or the like of operating conditions in regard to maintaining a temperature of an exhaust emission control catalyst at an optimal value. SOLUTION: An electronic control unit 80 carrying out overall control of an operating state of the engine 1 calculates and stores (learns) a numeric value corresponding to each operating condition and capable of providing an optimum temperature rising effect in regard to each of a post injection quantity and an additional fuel quantity by feeding back a detection signal of a first exhaust temperature sensor 74a or a second exhaust temperature sensor 74b. When concurrently executing post injection and fuel addition, the fuel addition is executed by accurately evaluating a temperature rising effect provided by the post injection (feedback control of the additional fuel quantity and learning of a correction amount following the control are carried out).
