    摘要: In an electrically heated catalyst support, when necessary, reinforcing layers are formed on the inner circumference and the outer circumference of a honeycomb body. On an end surface of the honeycomb body on the downstream side of exhaust gas, there are provided a plurality of insulating ceramic bars on the outer circumferential layer and/or the inner circumferential layer in such a manner that the insulating ceramic bars cross a non-reinforcing layer of the honeycomb body. End portions of the ceramic bars are held on the reinforcing layer by pins or a ring-shaped holding member joined to an external metallic cylinder. Due to the foregoing arrangement, telescoping of the honeycomb body in the direction of gas flow and damage of the metallic foil can be prevented without obstructing the generation of heat when electricity is supplied. Accordingly, durability of the catalyst support can be remarkably enhanced.

    摘要: The electrically heated catalytic converter of the present invention includes a catalyst substrate, which is formed as a scroll-like cylindrical laminated assembly. The assembly is formed by laminating a thin corrugated and plain metal sheets and winding the metal sheets together around a center electrode. The outermost layer of the laminated assembly is connected to an outer electrode. The corrugated metal sheet has an insulating coating made of an alumina, and the plain metal sheet is uninsulated. Local conductive connections form between the thin metal sheets by soldering strips of zirconium solder foils between the layers of the thin metal sheets. Since zirconium has a larger reducing capability than aluminum, the alumina in the insulating coating is reduced by zirconium and precipitates at the local conductive connections. Therefore, the plain and corrugated metal sheet are electrically connected to each other at the local conductive connections. The solder foils in the respective layers are arranged in a configuration where a strip of solder foil in one layer overlaps with strips of solder foils in adjoining layers only at its ends, and does not overlap with strips of solder foils in the adjacent layers when viewed radially. Since the solder foils overlap only by a small area, electric current flowing through the local conductive connections concentrates in the overlap area and produces hot spots. The overall resistance of the electric paths can be adjusted by varying the solder strip length.

    摘要: An engine has a plurality of the cylinders. The cylinders are divided into a first cylinder group and a second cylinder group, and each cylinder group is connected, via a corresponding branch exhaust passage, to a common interconnecting exhaust passage. In the interconnecting exhaust passage, an exhaust gas purifying catalyst is arranged. The air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas of the first cylinder group is made lean to feed oxygen to the exhaust gas purifying catalyst, and the air-fuel ratio of the second cylinder group is made rich to feed fuel for heating to the exhaust gas purifying catalyst, so that the oxygen and the fuel for heating react with each other to heat the exhaust gas purifying catalyst to reactivate the exhaust gas purifying catalyst when the reactivation of the exhaust gas purifying catalyst is must be performed. In each branch exhaust passage, a start catalyst is arranged.

    摘要: In the power supply control system, an electrically heated catalytic converter (EHC) is connected to an alternator output terminal via a switch SW1, and a battery is connected to the alternator via a switch SW2 in parallel with the EHC. A control unit (ECU) for controlling the operation of the switches SW1 and SW2 is provided. When the engine has started, the ECU turns on the SW1 and turns off the SW2 to supply electric power to the EHC directly from the alternator. After the EHC is heated to the activating temperature and starts its catalytic action, the ECU turns on both the switches SW1 and SW2 to supply electric power to the EHC from the battery to maintain the temperature of the EHC. Since the electric power for raising the temperature of the EHC is supplied in the condition where the battery is disconnected from the alternator, the output voltage can be increased to a value higher than a normal output voltage for charging the battery. Therefore, a relatively large electric power can be supplied to the EHC without imposing an excessive load on the battery.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine has an EGR passage provided with an EGR control valve and a catalyst for purifying the EGR gas. When the internal combustion engine operates in a low-temperature combustion mode in which the amount of EGR gas supplied to a combustion chamber is larger than that of EGR gas with which the amount of soot produced reaches a peak, and almost no soot is produced, a controller reduces an opening amount of the exhaust gas recirculation control valve so as to increase an exhaust gas temperature, and reduces an opening amount of the throttle valve so as to suppress an increase in the amount of the EGR gas, thereby to reduce reductions in the temperature of the EGR gas and the temperature of the catalyst.
