Abstract:
An exhaust gas purification method, and system. In order from an upstream side of an engine exhaust passage there are provided, a NOx occlusion-reduction catalyst, a hydrocarbon (“HC”) adsorbing member, and a catalyzed diesel particulate filter or oxidation catalyst. During NOx regeneration control, an air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas in terms of excess air factor is taken to be 0.8 to 1.1 when an index temperature representative of the HC-adsorbing member is a first judgment temperature or less, is taken to be 1.0 to 1.1 when the index temperature is between a first judgment temperature and a second judgment temperature, and is taken to be 0.8 to 1.1 when the index temperature is the second judgment temperature or above, causing an outflow of HC to the atmosphere to be reduced.
Abstract:
An exhaust gas purification apparatus including a first exhaust gas treatment member carrying an oxidation catalyst, a three-way catalyst, or a NOx storage reduction catalyst which is used for purifying exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine, a second exhaust gas treatment member having a hydrocarbon (“HC”) storing function disposed on the downstream side of the first exhaust gas treatment member, and a heat dissipating unit disposed between the first exhaust gas treatment member and the second exhaust gas treatment member. An upstream side of the heat dissipating unit is formed into a heat insulating structure, and a further upstream side thereof is formed into a heat retaining structure. Even when an internal combustion engine is accelerating, the exhaust gas flowing into the HC adsorption material can be cooled efficiently and HC can be adsorbed before the temperature of the three-way catalyst or the NOx purification catalyst rises to an HC light-off temperature.

Abstract:
Disclosed is an exhaust gas purification method, and also disclosed is an exhaust gas purification system (1). The exhaust gas purification system (1) comprises, in order from the upstream side of an exhaust passage (11) of an internal combustion engine (10), a NOx occlusion-reduction catalyst (32) for purifying NOx contained in exhaust gas, an HC-adsorbing member (33) for adsorbing hydrocarbons contained in exhaust gas, and a catalyzed DPF (34) or oxidation catalyst for purifying PM contained in exhaust gas. During the implementation of NOx regeneration control for restoring the NOx occlusion capacity of the NOx occlusion-reduction catalyst (32) in this system, the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas in terms of excess air factor is taken to be 0.8 to 1.1 when an index temperature (Tc) serving as an index of the temperature of the HC-adsorbing member (33) is a first judgment temperature or less, is taken to be 1.0 to 1.1 when the index temperature (Tc) is between a first judgment temperature and a second judgment temperature, and is taken to be 0.8 to 1.1 when the index temperature (Tc) is a second judgment temperature or above. As a result, during the exhaust gas air-fuel ratio rich control for restoring the NOx occlusion capacity which is implemented during the purification of the NOx and PM contained in the exhaust gas by the NOx occlusion-reduction catalyst and the catalyst-supported DPF (34), the outflow of HC to the atmosphere is improved.

The present invention is applicable to an engine having a cylinder block and an oil pan connected with each other and has an object of improving sealing of the engine and easiness in assembling and manufacturing. In the invention, an oil pan (14) is suspended from a cylinder block (1) via connecting members (cylinder covers (12)) in a vibration-insulating manner, a member having a projection (44) is provided on one of confronted face portions of the cylinder block and oil pan, and a member having a recess (46) is provided on the other confronted face portion. When these members engaged with each other, sealing is established. These members are also slidable so that dimensional errors are tolerated. Thus, assembling is facilitated. The object of the invention is also attained when an elastic member (144) and a mounting member (plate (142)) are in turn adhered onto the oil pan (114), and the mounting member is secured on the cylinder block by tightening members (bolts (146)).
