    摘要: An exhaust gas purification filter includes a honeycomb structure part and sealing parts. The honeycomb structure part has a porous partition wall and a plurality of cells defined by the partition wall to form exhaust gas flow paths. The sealing parts seal alternately a gas inflow-side end face or a gas outflow-side end face of the cells. The exhaust gas purification filter includes fine pores with diameters of 10 μm or less measured by the mercury intrusion method that account for 5% or more of all pores by volume in the honeycomb structure part. The partition wall has a plurality of communication pores communicating between the cells adjacent to the partition wall and has constricted communication pore of which a largest diameter Φ1 and a smallest diameter Φ2 satisfy relationships Φ1≥50, 100×Φ2/Φ1≤20.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a particulate matter detection element for detecting particulate matter in a gas to be measured includes manufacturing flat-shaped conductor layers, flat-shaped insulating layers, a laminated structure in which the conductor layers and the insulating layers are alternately laminated, and a detecting unit having the conductor layers of different polarities as a pair of detection electrodes on a cross section of the laminated structure. The conductor layers each have a constant thickness, and include conductor layer planar portions having a stripped-pattern cross section, and tapered conductor layer end edge portions each having a triangular cross section, provided on both sides of the respective conductor layer planar portions.

    摘要: Failure detection apparatus for a particulate filter includes: a sensor having a particulate matter detection unit that outputs a signal corresponding to the amount of accumulated PM, and a heater unit that heats the particulate matter detection unit; a regeneration control unit that causes the heater unit to heat the particulate matter detection unit to a regeneration temperature allowing the particulate matter to be burned off; a start detection unit that determines the start of the internal combustion engine; failure determination unit that determines whether exhaust gas contains water droplets while the engine is in operation; a heating control unit that causes the heater unit to heat the particulate matter detection unit to a first temperature allowing the accumulated particulate matter to remain and the moisture included in the particulate matter to be removed; and failure determination unit that determines whether the filter has failure based on a sensor output value.

    摘要: A honeycomb structure body has a skin part of a cylindrical shape and a honeycomb structural part formed with the skin part together in a monolithic body. The skin part and the honeycomb structural part have partition walls of a porous structure. The cells have first cells arranged adjacent to the skin part and second cells arranged adjacent to the first cells. The skin part, the first cells and the second cells form an outer peripheral section. A central section is arranged inside the outer peripheral section. The honeycomb structure body satisfies a relationship in which a thermal expansion coefficient of the outer peripheral section is greater than a thermal expansion coefficient of the central section.

    摘要: A particulate matter sensor detecting particulate matter in exhaust emissions is provided, which is resistant to having sensor surfaces buried by particulate matter residue. Detection electrodes are provided, with alternating polarity, laminated in a laminating direction, separated by insulation. Of the detection electrodes, first detection electrodes of one polarity and second detection electrodes of the other polarity are exposed perpendicular to the laminating direction. In the direction perpendicular to the laminating direction, the particulate matter sensor has target accumulating parts on which the particulate matter is accumulated. In the target accumulating parts, the thickness W1 of the first detection electrodes in the laminating direction is greater than the thickness W2 of the second detection electrodes in the laminating direction.

    摘要: Provided is an exhaust gas purifying filter used with a HC purifying catalyst supported thereon. Numerous pores are formed in partitions of the exhaust gas purifying filter. In a cross-section of the partition, pores are open at a passage surface, having an open end of which the opening diameter is 50 μm or larger. In the cross-section of the partitions, the partitions include a narrow part where a pore diameter is 5 μm or more and the pore diameter becomes a minimum in a region. In the cross-section of the partitions, the region is positioned between a pair of virtual lines L1 and L2 extending from opposing sides of the opening end to a passage surface positioned opposite to the opening end along the wall thickness direction X, Z. The pore diameter at the narrow part is 6% or more and less than or equal to 20% of the opening diameter.
