    摘要: An exhaust emission control device of an internal combustion engine, which purifies exhaust gas exhausted from the internal combustion engine, comprises: a catalyst device composed of a three way catalyst for purifying harmful substance in the exhaust gas when an exhaust air-fuel ratio is substantially stoichiometrical and an NOx catalyst having a function of absorbing NOx in the exhaust gas when the air-fuel ratio is closer to a lean air-fuel ratio than to the stoichiometrical air-fuel ratio, the catalyst device being provided in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine; catalyst deterioration determination means for determining deterioration state of the catalyst device, the deterioration resulting from at least temperature; and control means for deteriorating exhaust gas components flowing into the catalyst device much more than exhaust gas components flowing into the catalyst device when an air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the internal combustion engine is substantially stoichiometrical, if the catalyst deterioration determination means determines that the catalyst device is in a predetermined deterioration state. The deterioration of an NOx absorbing function of the NOx catalyst results from at least the destabilization of absorbing material in the NOx catalyst, which is caused by the rise in the temperature. Thus, if the catalyst deterioration determination means determines that the catalyst device is in the predetermined deterioration state, the exhaust gas components flowing into the catalyst device are deteriorated much more than the exhaust gas components flowing into the catalyst device when the air-fuel ratio of the mixture supplied to the internal combustion engine is substantially stoichiometrical. Therefore, CO, H2, NOx, O2, THC and the like are supplied to the absorbing material to thereby stabilize the absorbing material as carbonate, nitrite or acid oxide. This prevents the heat deterioration. This extends a heat-resisting life of the catalyst device, and prevents the deterioration of an exhaust gas characteristic and the increase in cost.

    摘要: An exhaust emission purifier includes a catalyst unit disposed in an exhaust pipe of an engine. Electrodes (reaction adjustment unit) are provided on a honeycomb carrier of the catalyst unit in a layered form in order to apply an electric field to the vicinity of the catalyst surface to thereby adjust the catalytic reaction. An ECU serves as a status detection unit to detect factors which affect the exhaust gas purifying performance of the catalyst unit (i.e., operating conditions), and serves as a control unit which controls the electric field applied by the electrodes, on the basis of the detected operating conditions.

    摘要: The present plasma type exhaust gas cleaning apparatus comprises a dielectric (5) arranged between a discharge electrode (7) and a ground electrode (8). The dielectric has a plurality of independent cavities (6) formed therein. The exhaust gas from combustion equipment (1) flows through the interiors of the plurality of independent cavities (6). Thus, in the plasma type exhaust gas cleaning apparatus, the discharge electrode (7) and the ground electrode (8) are securely partitioned by the cavities (6). When a voltage from a high voltage generator (9) is applied to between the discharge electrode (7) and the ground electrode (8), plasma resulting from corona discharges occurs in each individual cavity (6) without arising directly across the discharge electrode (7) and the ground electrode (8). The exhaust gas is thereby cleaned up.

    摘要: A catalyst deterioration detecting apparatus aims at accurately determining whether or not a catalyst deteriorates even if a strict standard for catalyst deterioration is established. The catalyst deterioration detecting apparatus includes catalyst temperature sensing means for obtaining temperature of a catalyst, including ceria (CeO2) serving as an oxygen storage agent, and deterioration detecting means for detecting a degree of deterioration of the catalyst if the temperature is obtained by the catalyst temperature sensing means is equal to or higher than an activation temperature at which the catalyst is activated and is in a particular temperature range causing NOX conversion efficiency of the catalyst to decrease.

    摘要: An NOx sensor 27 detects the concentration of NOx released from an occlusion type NOx catalyst 25 into the atmosphere. Based on the output of the NOx sensor 27, a total NOx discharge A is computed. When the total NOx discharge A reaches an NOx emission judgment amount A0, corresponding to an NOx emission judgment amount designated by NOx emission regulations, before a distance traveled C reaches a predetermined distance traveled C0, an exhaust air-fuel ratio is changed to a rich air-fuel ratio to release NOx from the occlusion type NOx catalyst 25 efficiently. Then, the exhaust air-fuel ratio is changed to a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio to purify and reduce NOx by a three-way catalyst function.

    摘要: The air/fuel ratio of exhaust flowing into a catalytic converter is forcibly modulated, between a lean air/fuel ratio leaner than a target average air/fuel ratio and a rich air/fuel ratio richer than the target average air/fuel ratio, with a specific period, a specific amplitude, a specific modulation ratio and a specific waveform. During the forcible modulation (S10, S12), the ratio of a time for which the output of an oxygen sensor is greater than a standard value Sb for the output set between the maximum and minimum values of the output (“rich” output time), or of a time for which it is smaller than the standard value Sb (“lean” output time), in a predetermined period of time, or a value correlating with this ratio is obtained (S14), and the air/fuel ratio of the exhaust is controlled on the basis of this ratio or the value correlating with this ratio (S16, S18).
