    摘要: In order to prevent a catalyst for an internal combustion engine from decreasing efficiency by deterioration after long time use of the catalyst, the decreased efficiency of the catalyst is determined, and the internal engine is controlled based on results of the determination so as to maintain high efficiency of the catalyst. The catalyst is installed in an exhaust pipe of the engine. Sensors for detecting conditions of exhaust gas both at upstream side and downstream side of the catalyst are provided, respectively. As for the sensor, for example, an oxygen sensor of which output varies stepwise at λ=1, or a sensor of which output varies in proportion to air-fuel ratio can be used. Detected values of the sensors are taken into a control unit, eliminating efficiency and deteriorating degree of the catalyst are estimated by comparison of the detected values, and the engine is controlled so that the eliminating efficiency becomes maximum. In accordance with the present invention, a preferable exhaust gas cleaning characteristics of the catalyst can be maintained because the decreased efficiency of the catalyst is determined exactly and the engine is controlled so as to prevent the catalyst from decreasing efficiency.

Detected values of the sensors are taken into a control unit, catalyst efficiency and deteriorating degree of the catalyst are estimated by comparison of the detected values, and the engine is controlled so that the catalyst efficiency is maximized. A preferable exhaust gas cleaning characteristics of the catalyst can be maintained because the decreased efficiency of the catalyst is determined exactly and the engine is controlled so as to prevent the catalyst from experiencing decrease efficiency.

    摘要: An engine exhaust gas recirculation system has an intake passage (2) connected to feed an air/fuel mixture to an internal combustion engine and an exhaust passage (1) connected to discharge an exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine. An exhaust gas recirculation passage (3) is provided for feeding a portion of the exhaust gas of the exhaust passage into a cylinder of the engine such that a laminar distribution is produced in the cylinder formed by air/fuel mixture adjacent to the ignition plug and the recirculated exhaust gas distributed about the air/fuel mixture. The exhaust gas recirculation passage may open in the vicinity of an intake valve of the engine or open into the cylinder above the bottom dead center of the piston. The flow of recirculated exhaust gas may be controlled by pressure, for example by the inlet and exhaust valves of the engine and/or by a pressure control valve (31, 34). Alternatively, the exhaust gas recirculation may be controlled in a multicylinder engine by a distributor (20) which may be controlled by an engine "roughness" control signal. The EGR may be computed from outputs of an air flow sensor (7) and an intake manifold pressure sensor (50).
