Abstract:
A fluid heating device of an engine is provided that is capable of reducing power consumption of a heat source required for heating a fluid. The fluid heating device of the engine includes a heat radiation pipe through which a fluid passes and an induction heating coil. Heat of the heat radiation pipe that is inductively heated by the induction heating coil is radiated to the fluid. A whole periphery of the heat radiation pipe is surrounded by the induction heating coil. The induction heating coil is supported by the heat radiation pipe. A holder is included, and the induction heating coil is supported by the heat radiation pipe via the holder. The holder, to which the induction heating coil is attached, is detachably supported by the heat radiation pipe.
Abstract:
An exhaust apparatus for a diesel engine rapidly burns an unburned deposit in an upstream exhaust catalyst with heat of a heater. The exhaust apparatus includes a downstream exhaust cleaner, an upstream exhaust catalyst provided in an exhaust passage, upstream of the downstream exhaust cleaner, a heater disposed at an exhaust inlet of the upstream exhaust catalyst, and an engine starter apparatus. A control unit controls the power supply to the heater and an engine start process is performed by the engine starter apparatus. A start command unit is connected to the control unit. When the engine has been stopped and then the start command unit gives the control unit a start command, the control unit powers the heater without performing an engine start process, thereby keeping the engine stopped for a predetermined period of time after the start command has been given, and subsequently performing the engine start process.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a diesel engine capable of preventing a PM accumulation amount from increasing excessively. If DOC inlet exhaust gas temperature (“IEGT”) does not reach a predetermined value T0, a control unit carries out air intake amount feedback control (“AIAFC”), and a target value of intake throttling is set to a predetermined air intake amount. If the DPF regenerating processing is not started even if elapsed time reaches a predetermined value t after AIAFC is started in a state where the DOC IEGT does not reach the predetermined value T0, the control unit changes AIAFC to exhaust gas temperature feedback control (“EGTFC”). In EGTFC, the control unit changes a target value of intake throttling to a predetermined DOC IEGT T0. If application of a load exceeding a predetermined amount is detected before the DOC IEGT reaches the predetermined value T0, the control unit returns EGTFC to AIAFC.
Abstract:
There is provided an exhaust treatment device for a diesel engine capable of accurately estimating an amount of ash deposition. In the exhaust treatment device, an ash deposition estimation device estimates an amount of ash deposition on a DPF after ending of regenerating treatment for the DPF, based on data regarding differential pressure and exhaust flow rate stored in a memory device over a period immediately before the end of regeneration, the period ranging from the end point of regenerating treatment for the DPF to a point in time going back a predetermined duration. An electronic control device preferably makes an alarm device issue an alarm, upon arrival of an estimated value of ash deposition at a predetermined alarm request value.
Abstract:
There is provided an exhaust treatment device for a diesel engine that can prevent unnecessary alarm for ash deposition from being issued. In the exhaust treatment device, a timer measures integrated time of a state of non-regenerative operation which ranges from an end of DPF regeneration to a next time point where the differential pressure reaches a regeneration request value. A counter acquires the short interval count if the integrated time is a short interval shorter than a predetermined decision time. An alarm device issues an alarm if the consecutive short interval count reaches a predetermined plural necessary count for alarm. A short interval count having been already acquired is preferably reset to 0 if the integrated time of the state of non-regenerative operation is a long interval, not shorter than a predetermined decision time, before the short interval count reaches the predetermined necessary count for alarm.
Abstract:
An engine promoting DPF regeneration processing is provided. Catalyst activation processing and thereafter DPF regeneration processing are performed under control of a device. In the catalyst activation processing, a target temperature of exhaust at an exhaust exit of a catalyst is set to be in a first temperature region, and then the opening degree of an exhaust throttle device is controlled. In the DPF regeneration processing, the target temperature is set to be in a second temperature region. A target temperature of the exhaust at an exhaust inlet of a DPF is set to be in a third temperature region. The opening degree of the exhaust throttle device is controlled, and unburned fuel is supplied into the exhaust. The temperature regions are set to be successively higher, and a temperature difference between successive temperature regions is set to be successively lower.
Abstract:
Provided is an exhaust gas processing device for a diesel engine which can carry out sufficient regeneration processing of a DPF. A DPF regeneration control section continues normal regeneration processing by a DPF regeneration control section when an accelerated regeneration starting operation section does not perform accelerated regeneration starting operation after notification of accelerated regeneration requiring information is started. The DPF regeneration control section prohibits the normal regeneration processing, and an accelerated regeneration re-requirement notification section starts notification of accelerated regeneration re-requiring information, when a PM accumulation amount estimate becomes equal to or higher than an accelerated regeneration re-requirement determination value J4. Thereafter, the regeneration processing of the DPF is not carried out unless the accelerated regeneration starting operation section starts the accelerated regeneration starting operation to cause the DPF regeneration control section to carry out the accelerated regeneration processing by the DPF regeneration section.
