    摘要: A managed fuel air mode control system is provided which operates in an open loop lean mode of operation whenever open loop enable criteria is met. During the open loop lean mode of operation, a rich A/F purge mode of operation is dictated when a NO.sub.x trap is determined to be full. After purging the trap, engine operation returns to stoichiometric and either enters a closed loop learning operation or returns to lean operation depending upon the time that has passed since the last learning operation. During the learning operation, an adaptive control algorithm learns or updates a long term correction factor that is used during the open loop lean A/F mode of operation. Also during open loop operation, the amount of SO.sub.x accumulated in the trap is calculated and the open loop mode is terminated when the amount of SO.sub.x exceed a threshold.

    摘要: An exhaust treatment system for an internal combustion engine includes a catalytic emission control device. When transitioning the engine between a lean operating condition and a stoichiometric operating condition, as when scheduling a purge of the downstream device to thereby release an amount of a selected exhaust gas constituent, such as NOx, that has been stored in the downstream device during the lean operating condition, the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture supplied to each cylinder is sequentially stepped from an air-fuel ratio of at least about 18 to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. The purge event is preferably commenced when all but one cylinders has been stepped to stoichiometric operation, with the air-fuel mixture supplied to the last cylinder being stepped immediately to an air-fuel ratio rich of a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.

    摘要: An exhaust gas treatment system for an internal combustion engine includes a three-way catalyst and a NOx device located downstream of the three-way catalyst. The device is preconditioned for emissions reduction at engine operating conditions about stoichiometry by substantially filling the device with oxygen and NOx; and purging stored oxygen and stored NOx from only an upstream portion of the device, whereupon the upstream portion of the device operates to store oxygen and NOx during subsequent lean transients while the downstream portion of the device operates to reduce excess HC and CO during subsequent rich transients.

    摘要: An exhaust gas treatment system for an internal combustion engine includes a pair of upstream emission control devices which respectively receive the exhaust gas generated by a respective group of cylinders, and a single, shared downstream emission control device receiving catalyzed exhaust gas from each of the upstream emission control devices. After the downstream device stores a selected constituent gas generated when each cylinder group is operating “lean,” the downstream device is purged by operating the first cylinder group with a stoichiometric air-fuel mixture while operating the second cylinder group with a rich air-fuel mixture, such that the combined catalyzed exhaust gas flowing through the downstream device during the purge event has an air-fuel ratio slightly rich of stoichiometry. As a result, the invention improves overall vehicle fuel economy because only one of the upstream devices is purged of stored oxygen when purging the downstream device of previously-stored constituent gas.

    摘要: A nitrous oxide trap temperature control system for desulfating the trap uses and engine with some cylinders operating with lean combustion and some cylinders operating with rich combustion. The lean and rich combustion gases are combined to form an mixture which is fed to the trap to provide an exothermic reaction. The desired lean and rich air/fuel ratios of the respective lean and rich cylinders are limited depending on trap temperature and incremental heat addition to prevent inadvertently decreasing trap temperature.

    摘要: Fuel vapors are purged from a fuel system into an engine air/fuel intake and the mass flow of such vapors are adaptively learned during a fuel vapor learning mode. When operating in a lean air/fuel operating mode, the lean mode is periodically disabled and the fuel vapor learning mode periodically enabled to update the measurement of inducted fuel vapors. Fuel delivery to the engine is corrected by such measurement to compensate for inducted fuel vapors and maintain engine operation at the desired air/fuel ratio.
