摘要:
A stable combustion without generating smoke or misfire is performed by selectively conducting a first combustion mode and a second combustion mode. In the first combustion mode, an amount of an inert gas, e.g., EGR gas, provided to a combustion chamber is made to be larger than an amount of the inert gas that causes the generation amount of soot to become a peak amount. This causes substantially no soot to be generated. In the second combustion mode, the amount of the inert gas provided to the combustion chamber is made to be smaller than the amount that causes the generation amount of soot to become a peak amount. The injection timing is quickened if the injection amount is increased in the first combustion mode, and the injection timing is delayed if the injection amount is reduced.

In an exhaust gas purification device, a catalytic converter containing selective reduction catalysts is disposed in an exhaust gas passage of an internal combustion engine capable of being operated at a lean air-fuel ratio. The catalytic converter includes a plurality of the selective reduction catalysts disposed in series in the casing of the catalytic converter. Bypass passages which supply the exhaust gas to downstream selective reduction catalysts in the casing by bypassing the upstream catalysts are provided. When a reducing agent is supplied to the exhaust gas upstream of the converter, a part of the supplied reducing agent directly reaches the downstream selective reduction catalyst through the bypass passages without being oxidized by the upstream selective reduction catalysts. Therefore, the NOx purifying abilities of the downstream catalysts are improved and the formation of sulfates on the downstream catalysts is suppressed.
摘要:
A secondary air feeding device comprising an air pump for feeding secondary air into the exhaust passage upstream of the three way catalytic converter. The air-fuel ratio is normally maintained at the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio by a feedback control. When the amount of fuel is to be increased, the feedback control is stopped, and the supply of secondary air is started. At this time, the amount of secondary air is basically calculated from the amount of fuel fed into the engine.

Even in a construction in which fuel injection valves for eight cylinders are energized by two EDUs, a sufficient charging time for each EDU can be ensured. In an eight-cylinder engine including fuel injection valves provided one for each cylinder of the eight-cylinder engine for injecting fuel thereinto, a first valve drive unit for driving four of the eight fuel injection valves to open and close by energizing these four fuel injection valves; and a second valve drive unit for driving four fuel injection valves other than the first-mentioned four fuel injection valves to open and close by energizing the second-mentioned four fuel injection valves, both of the valve drive units drive those fuel injection valves which are provided on cylinders for which combustion and expansion strokes occur at equal intervals. For example, the first valve drive unit energizes those fuel injection valves which are provided on a first cylinder, a fourth cylinder, a sixth cylinder, and a seventh cylinder, and the second valve drive unit energizes those fuel injection valves which are provided on a second cylinder, a third cylinder, a fifth cylinder, and an eighth cylinder.

Cylinders of a diesel engine 1 are provided with cylinder pressure sensors 29a to 29d for detecting combustion chamber pressures. An electronic control unit (ECU) 20 of the engine selects optimum combustion parameters in accordance with a fuel injection mode of fuel injectors 10a to 10d of the engine and a combustion mode determined by the amount of EGR gas supplied from the EGR valve 35 from among a plurality of types of combustion parameters expressing the combustion state of the engine calculated based on the cylinder pressure sensor output and feedback controls the fuel injection amount and fuel injection timing so that the values of the combustion parameters match target values determined in accordance with the engine operating conditions. Due to this, the engine combustion state is controlled to the optimum state at all times regardless of the fuel injection mode or combustion mode.
摘要:
An engine where first combustion where the amount of the EGR gas in the combustion chamber is larger than the amount of EGR where the amount of production of soot peaks and almost no soot is produced and a second combustion where the amount of EGR gas in the combustion chamber (5) is smaller than the amount of EGR gas where the amount of production of soot peaks are selectively switched between. When switching between the first combustion and second combustion, the injection timing is delayed until after top dead center of the compression stroke,
摘要:
An internal combustion engine performs a second mode of combustion where the EGR is less than the EGR gas that peaks the production of soot. The engine then performs a first mode of combustion where the EGR is greater than the EGR that peaks the production of soot. During the second mode, the engine curbs hydrocarbon supplied to an exhaust gas control catalyst by performing a combustion where hydrocarbon does not increase. The exhaust gas temperature discharged becomes relatively high and the EGR rate is set to zero. The engine then increases the hydrocarbon supplied to the catalyst by performing a combustion that increases the hydrocarbon. The temperature of exhaust gas discharged becomes relatively high, and the EGR rate is gradually increased. Accordingly, the engine quickly warms up the catalyst while preventing problems that occur, like clogging of an exhaust gas recirculation passage.
摘要:
An exhaust gas purifying apparatus mounted in an vehicular engine, which includes a detector for detecting the actuated condition of a catalyst. Injectors for fuel injection are disposed along an air intake passage of the engine and plurality of catalysts are provided along an exhaust gas passage. A catalyst incorporating an electrical heater is disposed at the most upper stream side thereof. A secondary air source can be supplied into the inlet port of the heatable catalyst by means of secondary air supply mechanism. To determine the activated condition of the catalyst, a temperature sensor is provided to the catalyst. An electronic control unit (ECU) controls the injectors, secondary air supply mechanism, and heatable catalyst when the engine is initiated in the cold state. The ECU computes a temperature change rate of the catalyst based upon a value detected by the temperature sensor while secondary air supply is provided into the inlet port of the heatable catalyst. When the computed temperature change rate is increased, the ECU determines that the heatable catalyst has been actuated and the ECU correctly increases the volume of fuel to be injected through the injectors. Therefore, the catalyst's actuation can be detected without providing a plurality of temperature sensors. Furthermore, no volume of fuel exceeding the required amount is supplied to the engine before the catalyst is actuated.
摘要:
An apparatus for supplying the secondary air to a catalyst in an exhaust gas passage is disclosed. An electric heater is fixed to the catalyst to which the secondary air is supplied by an electric air pump. The heater and the air pump are connected with a battery through relay contacts, respectively. During the cold operation of the engine, an electric control unit switches on/off the relay contacts, so as to actuate the air pump prior to the heater and stop the air pump after the heater. The secondary air is supplied to the catalyst when the temperature of catalyst is raised up to the activating point.
