摘要:
A diagnostic apparatus for a fuel storage device has a gas introducing passage for introducing gas from a fuel storage device into an intake passage of an internal combustion engine and a shutoff valve that shuts the gas introducing passage. The diagnostic apparatus detects an amount of fuel component introduced into the intake passage via the gas introducing passage when the shutoff valve is in at least one of an open state and a closed state on the basis of the detected amount of fuel component and, upon detecting the presence of the fuel component in the introduced gas, the apparatus diagnoses that the fuel storage device has a fault.

An exhaust gas purifying apparatus of a lean-burn internal combustion engine surely purifies nitrogen oxide occluded by a nitrogen oxide occluding/reducing catalyst without making a combustion of an air-fuel mixture unstable while utilizing a vapor fuel generated in a fuel tank. The exhaust gas purifying apparatus includes a gas state judging unit for judging a state of a vapor fuel gas supplied to an intake system of the lean-burn internal combustion engine, and an exhaust state control unit for setting, to a desired state, a state of the exhaust gas flowing to the nitrogen oxide occluding/reducing catalyst by selectively controlling the fuel injection valve and the gas supply unit in accordance with a state of the vapor fuel gas at the time when the nitrogen oxide occluded by the nitrogen oxide occluding/reducing catalyst provided in an exhaust system of the lean-burn internal combustion engine should be desorbed and purified.

A fuel vapor concentration detecting apparatus in a lean-burn internal combustion engine detects a fuel vapor concentration and executes purge control. The apparatus includes an output fluctuation detecting module for detecting, on such an occasion that the fuel vapor is purged into an intake system of the internal combustion engine, an output fluctuation just when the fuel vapor is purged, and a concentration detecting module for calculating the fuel vapor concentration in accordance with a magnitude of the output fluctuation detected by the output fluctuation detecting module. The fuel vapor concentration in the lean-burn internal combustion engine is thus detected. A purge quantity or a state of the fuel injection is changed corresponding to the detected concentration of the fuel vapor.
摘要:
In an internal combustion engine in which a throttle valve is substantially fully opened in most of the operating regions such as an in-cylinder injection type internal combustion engine, a technique is provided capable of effectively processing an evaporative fuel while stabilizing a combustion state of the internal combustion engine even in the case that an amount of evaporative fuel generated in a fuel tank or the like is increased. To achieve this technique, a purge amount of evaporative fuel is increased by increasing a differential pressure between an upstream portion and a downstream portion of a purge passage, and the differential pressure between an upstream portion and a downstream portion of a purge passage, and the differential pressure is adjusted in accordance with the combustion state of the internal combustion engine at that time, thereby making it possible to purge the maximum amount of evaporative fuel within a range in which the combustion state is not unstabilized.
摘要:
A malfunction detection apparatus for detecting a malfunction in an evaporative fuel purge system, which malfunction detection apparatus is able to suppress a fluctuation of an air-fuel ratio. A negative pressure inside an intake passage is introduced into the evaporative fuel purge system. The existence/nonexistence of a malfunction in the evaporative fuel purge system is determined by using pressure values inside the evaporative fuel purge system which values are detected and supplied by a pressure detecting unit. The apparatus is provided with an air-fuel ratio fluctuation suppressing unit for suppressing a fluctuation of the air-fuel ratio of air suctioned into an engine when introducing the negative pressure into the evaporative fuel purge system.
摘要:
An apparatus for controlling a flow of evaporated fuel from a canister being fed into an intake passage of an engine through a plurality of control valves arranged in parallel in a purge passage between the canister and the intake passage. The plurality of control valves includes at least a first valve being switched on and off by setting a control factor indicating a duty ratio of an on-time within a duty cycle to a total duty-cycle time for the first valve, and a second valve being switched on and off by setting a control factor indicating an on-state or off-state of the second valve for a total duty-cycle time. The apparatus includes a first control part for setting a first control factor for the first valve so that the first valve is switched on at a rate indicated by the first control factor, and a second control part for setting a second control factor for the second valve so that the second valve is switched on and off at a timing different from a timing at which the first valve is switched on and off.
摘要:
According to the present invention, there is provided a fuel reserving device for reserving fuel therein comprising a wall for dividing an interior of the device to a fuel chamber and an air chamber, the wall being deformable according to the amount of the fuel in the fuel chamber, a discharge passage which is open to a space formed above the surface of the fuel in the fuel chamber and a shut off valve for normally shutting the discharge passage off. Gas is discharged from the space via the discharge passage when the shut off valve is open. The shut off valve is opened and the gas is discharged from the space when the amount of the gas is larger than a predetermined amount. On the other hand, the shut off valve is closed and the discharging operation of the gas is stopped when the amount of the gas is smaller than the predetermined amount.
摘要:
A pressure control device allows evaporated fuel evaporated in an fuel tank of an engine to be discharged to a canister during the engine running state. The canister absorbs the evaporated fuel. The pressure control device continues to allow evaporated fuel in the fuel tank to be discharged to the canister after the engine stops until a predetermined period has elapsed. The pressure control device allows evaporated fuel in the fuel tank to be discharged to the canister while a pressure in the fuel tank is higher than a first predetermined pressure after the predetermined period has elapsed in the engine stopped state. On the other hand, the pressure control device prevents evaporated fuel in the fuel tank from being discharged to the canister while a pressure in the fuel tank is lower than the first predetermined pressure after the predetermined period has elapsed in the engine stopped state.
摘要:
A fuel supply control device including a purge control valve. The maximum purge rate, that is, the ratio between the amount of purge and the amount of intake air when the purge control valve is fully open, is stored in advance. The purge control valve is controlled in its duty ratio, which duty ratio is the target purge rate/maximum purge rate. When the purge is started, the target duty ratio is gradually increased. When the purge is performed and the feedback correction coefficient FAF falls, the feedback correction coefficient FAF is gradually returned to the FAF before the start of a purge, the purge A/F correction coefficient is increased, and the amount of injection is corrected by the sum of the purge A/F correction coefficient and the feedback correction coefficient.
摘要:
A sealing valve 28 that controls a communication state between a fuel tank 10 and a canister 26 is provided. During stop of an internal combustion engine, the sealing valve 28 is generally closed, and the canister 26 is opened to the atmosphere. The sealing valve 28 is opened when the internal combustion engine is stopped, and differential pressure exceeding a valve opening determination value is generated between tank internal pressure and atmospheric pressure. A change in the tank internal pressure generated between before and after the sealing valve 28 is opened is detected. When the change in the tank internal pressure is below a predetermined determination value, closing failure of the sealing valve is determined.
