    摘要: The exhaust gas purification device includes a NO.sub.x absorbent disposed in an exhaust gas passage of an internal combustion engine. The engine is mainly operated at a lean air-fuel ratio. The NO.sub.x absorbent absorbs NO.sub.x in the exhaust gas from the engine when the exhaust gas flowing into the NO.sub.x absorbent is at a lean air-fuel ratio, and releases the NO.sub.x absorbed therein and reduces it when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas becomes a rich air-fuel ratio. A control circuit is provided for controlling the operating air-fuel ratio of the engine. When the ignition switch of the engine is turned off, the control circuit continues the engine operation for a predetermined period before terminating the engine operation. During this engine operation, the operating air-fuel ratio of the engine is controlled at a rich air-fuel ratio to supply exhaust gas with a rich air-fuel ratio to the NO.sub.x absorbent. Therefore, NO.sub.x absorbed and held therein when the ignition switch is turned off is released and reduced by the rich air-fuel ratio exhaust gas from the engine. Since the NO.sub.x absorbent is maintained at the condition where no NO.sub.x remains in the NO.sub.x absorbent after the engine has stopped, unreduced NO.sub.x is not released from the NO.sub.x absorbent even if the NO.sub.x absorbent is cooled after the engine has stopped.

    摘要: An apparatus for, and a method of, purifying exhaust gas emitted from an internal combustion engine reduces fuel consumption under a lean operating condition and generates high torque under a rich operating condition without deteriorating the cleanness of exhaust gas and the driveability of the engine. The apparatus and method improve the durability of a variable valve timing mechanism of the engine. The engine operation involves lean and rich operating conditions. The variable valve timing mechanism of the apparatus changes the open and close timing of at least one of intake and exhaust valves of the engine. The apparatus further has a catalytic converter in an exhaust system, to occlude NOx under the lean operating condition and discharge and reduce the occluded NOx under the rich operating condition. The apparatus also has a prohibition unit for prohibiting the variable valve timing mechanism from changing the valve open and close timing of the valves when the air-fuel ratio of the engine is changed from lean to rich to discharge and reduce the occluded NOx.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine that selectively switches from a first combustion in which an amount of an exhaust gas recirculation gas within a combustion chamber is more than the amount of the exhaust gas recirculation gas when an amount of soot generated reaches a peak amount to generate substantially no soot, that is, a low temperature combustion, and a second combustion in which the amount of the exhaust gas recirculation gas within the combustion chamber is less than the amount of the exhaust gas recirculation gas when the amount of soot generated reaches the peak amount. The switching is selectively performed, such that, a stable low temperature combustion corresponding to the air fuel ratio is performed by shifting the area for performing the low temperature combustion to the high load side as the air fuel ratio is reduced.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine system is capable of reducing soot and NOx simultaneously, and prevents the occurrence of an undesirable situation where a generation amount of soot is increased in accordance with frequent transitions between a first combustion mode and a second combustion mode. In the system, the first combustion mode in which an amount of inert gas supplied to the combustion chamber is larger than an amount of the inert gas that causes the generation amount of soot to become a peak, such that soot is hardly generated, and a second combustion mode in which an amount of the inert gas supplied to the combustion chamber is smaller than the amount of the inert gas that causes the generation amount of soot to become a peak, are selectively performed. When conditions are such that switching between the first combustion mode and the second combustion mode has or may occur frequently, the execution of the first combustion mode is controlled. The frequency of switching can be determined, for example, based on a frequency of change of the engine load, an operational state of the engine, or road information.

    摘要: In a fuel injection control system, a throttle valve is provided on the intake air passage of a diesel engine and an EGR control valve is provided for recycling a part of the engine exhaust gas to the intake air system of the engine. An engine control unit (ECU) controls the intake air amount of the engine to a value corresponding to the engine operating condition by adjusting the throttle valve and the EGR control valve. Further, the ECU detects the actual intake air amount by an airflow meter disposed at the inlet of the intake air passage and determines the maximum fuel injection amount based on the engine speed and the actual intake air amount. The maximum fuel injection amount is the maximum amount of the fuel which does not generate the exhaust smoke. By restricting the actual fuel injection amount so that the actual fuel injection amount does not exceed the maximum fuel injection amount, the generation of the exhaust smoke is prevented in transient operating conditions of the engine regardless of a delay in the response of the EGR control valve.

    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.
