摘要:
A sealing valve is installed between a fuel tank and a canister. A purge VSV is installed between the canister and an intake path. A pump module unit is installed to introduce a negative pressure into the canister. The negative pressure is introduced into the canister while the purge VSV and sealing valve are closed. An open failure diagnostic check is conducted on the sealing valve in accordance with the prevalent canister side pressure. A close failure diagnostic check is conducted on the sealing valve by making use of a differential pressure that is generated across the sealing valve as a result of the open failure diagnostic check.

A cylinder injection type lean-burn internal combustion engine is capable of executing the purging of a vapor fuel without disturbing a state of an air-fuel mixture in a combustion chamber. The vapor fuel produced in a fuel tank is guided to a purge port provided at an intake passageway of the lean-burn internal combustion engine, and subsequently supplied along an intake air swirl flow into the combustion chamber. The vapor fuel is thereby partially concentrated in any one of a combustible air-fuel mixture layer and an air layer in the combustion chamber.

A fuel vapor feed controlling apparatus of a lean burn internal combustion engine suppresses either one of a rich misfire or a surge when fuel vapor is fed into the engine. A purge controlling unit controls an amount of fuel vapor fed from a fuel reservoir to the engine in response to an operational condition of the engine. A first compensation unit compensates the amount of fuel vapor such that an engine revolution speed of the engine may be identical with a target revolution speed. The purge controlling unit performs a purge control based on a compensation value compensated by the first compensation unit.
摘要:
A fuel vapor control apparatus determines whether the concentration of fuel vapor in a space above the surface of liquid fuel in the fuel tank is less than a predetermined concentration. When the concentration of fuel vapor is less than the predetermined concentration, the concentration of fuel vapor in the fuel tank is increased and, when the concentration of fuel vapor exceeds the predetermined concentration, the increase of the concentration of fuel vapor is stopped. Therefore, an amount of fuel flowing out of the fuel tank can be reduced while using a reduced amount of energy.

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.
摘要:
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 a remaining fuel amount measuring apparatus for a fuel tank which is suited to the fuel tank designed to suppress generation of fuel vapor, a CPU actuates a piston to supply a prescribed amount of air into a pressure adjusting chamber, thereby increasing the pressure within the pressure adjusting chamber. From the Boyle's law, the increasing rate of air before air supply is inversely proportional to the volume V of the pressure adjusting chamber. Therefore, the CPU, referring to the pressure within the pressure adjusting chamber before and after the air supply, acquires the volume V of the pressure adjusting chamber, and subtracts the volume V of the pressure adjusting chamber from the internal volume of a tank body to acquire the volume of a fuel chamber, i.e. remaining fuel amount.

An evaporated fuel purge control apparatus includes a purge control valve arranged in a purge passage between a canister and an intake passage of an engine, the purge control valve being switched on and off in accordance with a control factor, the control factor indicating a duty ratio of an on-time of the purge control valve within a duty cycle to a total duty-cycle time, a detecting part for detecting an operating condition under which the engine is operating, and a flow rate control part for setting a control factor for the purge control valve in accordance with the operating condition detected by the detecting part, the control factor set by the flow rate control part allowing a flow rate of evaporated fuel fed from the canister into the intake passage through the purge control valve to be maintained at a constant level when the operating condition of the engine changes.
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.
