    摘要: A converter containing a NOx absorbing and reducing catalyst is disposed in the exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine. The upstream half portion (portion of the inlet side) of the substrate of the NOx absorbing and reducing catalyst in the converter carries the oxygen storage component that absorbs oxygen in the exhaust gas when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is lean and releases the absorbed oxygen when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing in is rich in addition to carrying the NOx absorbing and reducing catalyst. After NOx is absorbed by the NOx absorbing and reducing catalyst as a result of operating the engine at a lean air-fuel ratio, the engine is operated at a rich air-fuel ratio, so that NOx is released from the NOx absorbing and reducing catalyst and is purified by reduction. Here, oxygen is released from the oxygen storage component carried by the upstream half portion of the substrate and is reacted with the H2 and CO components in the exhaust gas, so that the temperature of the NOx absorbing and reducing catalyst is raised within short periods of time due to the heat of reaction. Therefore, the catalyst exhibits increased activity and the NOx absorbing and reducing catalyst exhibits improved NOx purification capability.

    摘要: An exhaust purifying apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes a catalyst that purifies exhaust gas from the engine, a first passage that allows exhaust gas to flow from the engine to the catalyst, and a second passage that allows exhaust gas to flow from the engine to the catalyst. The first passage includes an accelerated cooling portion whose cross section is designed so that a relatively large quantity of heat is released from the exhaust gas in the first passage, and the second passage has a cross section designed so that a relatively small quantity of heat is released from the exhaust gas in the second passage. The apparatus further includes a flow amount controller that controls amounts of exhaust gas flowing through the first and second passages, such that the amount of exhaust gas flow through the first passage is made larger than that through the second passage when the temperature of exhaust gas emitted from the engine is to be lowered by a relatively large degree before reaching the catalyst, and such that the amount of exhaust gas flow through the second passage is made larger than that through the first passage when the temperature of exhaust gas emitted from the engine is to be lowered by a relatively small degree before reaching the catalyst.

    摘要: An NOx occluding and reducing catalyst is disposed in an exhaust gas passage of an internal combustion engine that operates at a lean air-fuel ratio. When the engine is operating at a lean air-fuel ratio, the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst absorbs NOx in the exhaust gas. To release NOx, the engine is operated at a rich air-fuel ratio so that the exhaust gas flowing into the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst acquires a rich air-fuel ratio. While the engine is operated in a region of moderate lean air-fuel ratios of from the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio to an air-fuel ratio of about 20 at the time when the engine operating air-fuel ratio is changing from a lean air-fuel ratio operation to a rich air-fuel ratio operation, an electronic control unit (ECU) of the engine injects secondary fuel, that does not contribute to combustion, into the cylinders of the engine through the direct cylinder fuel injection valves in the expansion stroke or the exhaust stroke of the cylinders, so that the exhaust gas flowing into the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst acquires a rich air-fuel ratio. This prevents unpurified NOx from flowing out of the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst at the time when the engine operating air-fuel ratio is changed.

    摘要: A moisture adsorbent (32) for adsorbing moisture in exhaust gas and an NOx adsorbent (34) for adsorbing NOx are disposed in a bypass passage (30) for bypassing an exhaust passage (16) of an internal combustion engine (10). When an adsorption operation to the NOx adsorbent (34) is executed, inflow of the exhaust gas to the bypass passage (30) is allowed until the moisture amount that flows into the water adsorbent (32) reaches an allowable moisture inflow amount. The allowable moisture inflow amount is determined based on a residual moisture amount before the starting of the adsorption operation in the moisture adsorbent (32). The residual moisture amount in the water adsorbent (32) can be determined based on the temperature of the moisture adsorbent (32) at the immediately preceding execution of the purge operation.
