摘要:
A control apparatus for speedily warming up a catalyst disposed within an exhaust pipe connected to an internal combustion engine. The control apparatus calculates a demand fuel injection quantity into the engine on the basis of an operating state of said engine, and corrects the calculated demand fuel injection quantity on the basis of a warming-up state of a catalyst provided in an exhaust pipe of the engine so that an air fuel ratio in the engine is repeatedly controlled to a rich side and a lean side in a state that the warming-up of the catalyst is not completed. The control apparatus is equipped with an inhibiting function to inhibit the air fuel ratio from being controlled to the rich side and the lean side when the engine takes an operating state that the injection quantity is set to a rich side with respect to the theoretical air fuel ratio.
摘要:
A control apparatus for rapidly warming up a catalyst disposed within an exhaust pipe connected to an internal combustion engine. The control apparatus first determines a fuel injection amount and an ignition timing of the engine on the basis of an engine operating condition such as an intake air pressure of the engine and a rotational speed of the engine. The control apparatus is also responsive to temperature information of the catalyst for adjusting the fuel injection amount and the ignition timing in accordance with the catalyst temperature information. When the catalyst temperature does not reach the effective emission-purifying temperature, the control apparatus alternately adjusts the fuel injection amount to a rich amount and a lean amount and further intermittently retards the ignition timing. This injection and ignition control operation allows acceleration of the warming-up of the catalyst to suppress the deterioration of the emissions from the engine.
