摘要:
The invention intends to provide a technology which makes it possible to diagnose with higher accuracy whether or not abnormality occurs in a filter regeneration system causing excessive execution frequency of a regeneration process. The filter regeneration system initiates execution of the regeneration process, incase an estimated particulate matter (PM) accumulation amount at the filter reaches a pre-determined regeneration requiring accumulation amount; or in case the pressure upstream of the filter or the differential pressure across the filter reaches a pre-determined regeneration requiring value, the value being larger than the pressure or the differential pressure corresponding to the regeneration requiring accumulation amount. Then, the diagnosis is carried out based on a ratio of an estimated PM accumulation amount at the initiation of the execution of the regeneration process to the regeneration requiring accumulation amount.

摘要:
A catalyst deterioration diagnosing apparatus is provided with means for performing stoichiometric feedback control on the air-fuel ratio based on at least output from an upstream air-fuel ratio sensor provided upstream of a catalyst, means for measuring the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst, and means for correcting the measured value of the oxygen storage capacity based on at least the output behavior of a downstream air-fuel ratio sensor provided downstream of the catalyst during the stoichiometric feedback control. The measured value of the oxygen storage capacity is corrected using the output behavior of the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor during stoichiometric feedback control. The diagnostic is performed after eliminating the effects from sulfur by correcting the measured value to a value corresponding to when low sulfur fuel is used, which makes it possible to prevent an erroneous diagnosis from being made.
摘要:
The concentration of a portion of components in the hydrocarbon in exhaust gas flowing into a catalyst is detected or estimated, and the concentration of the portion of components in the hydrocarbon in the exhaust gas flowing out of the catalyst is detected. On the basis of the concentrations of the portion of components in the hydrocarbon flowing into the catalyst and the concentration of the portion of components in the hydrocarbon flowing out of the catalyst, it is determined whether or not the catalyst has been deteriorated.

摘要:
A catalyst deterioration determination system for determining deterioration of an exhaust gas purification catalyst having a capability of storing oxygen determines deterioration of the exhaust gas purification catalyst on the basis of its oxygen storage capacity. The system includes an oxygen concentration sensor provided downstream of the catalyst and having characteristics by which as rich gas components in exhaust gas increase, the oxygen concentration sensor outputs a measurement value of the oxygen concentration corresponding to a richer air-fuel ratio. When determining deterioration, the system performs a rich shift mode in which the exhaust gas air-fuel ratio is shifted from a lean air-fuel ratio to a rich air-fuel ratio and a lean shift mode in which the exhaust gas air-fuel ratio is shifted from a rich air-fuel ratio to a lean air-fuel ratio by exhaust gas air-fuel ratio control means, based on the measurement value of the oxygen concentration sensor. The rate of change of the exhaust gas air-fuel ratio in at least the lean shift mode among the rich shift mode and the lean shift mode is limited to a predetermined rate of change or lower, and the rate of change of the exhaust gas air-fuel ratio in the rich shift mode is set higher than the rate of change of the exhaust gas air furl ratio in the lean shift mode.
摘要:
An in-cylinder injection type spark-ignition internal combustion engine and a control method thereof realize a stabilized stratified-charge combustion by setting a large lift amount to an intake valve when the engine is cold-started and by executing a compression stroke injection. At this time, warming-up capability of a catalyst is improved by delaying an ignition timing.

An inter-cylinder air-fuel ratio variation abnormality detection apparatus for a multicylinder internal combustion engine according to the present invention detects variation abnormality based on a rotational fluctuation of the internal combustion engine. Number-of-rotations feedback control is preformed to make the number of rotations of the internal combustion engine equal to a predetermined target number of rotations. The amount of power generated by a power generation device driven by the internal combustion engine is controlled so as to bring the load on the internal combustion engine into a target range when the abnormality detection is carried out.
摘要:
The oxygen storage capacity preceding a previous oxygen storage capacity and the previous oxygen storage capacity of each of an upstream catalyst and a downstream catalyst are measured, and a present oxygen storage capacity of the downstream catalyst is measured. Then, sulfur poisoning of the upstream catalyst and the downstream catalyst is detected on the basis of an oxygen storage capacity change amount of each of the upstream catalyst and the downstream catalyst from the oxygen storage capacity preceding the previous one to the previous oxygen storage capacity, and the oxygen storage capacity change amount of the downstream catalyst from the previous oxygen storage capacity to the present oxygen storage capacity. The presence/absence of the sulfur poisoning can be accurately detected by utilizing the difference between the manners of sulfur poisoning of the two catalysts.
