    Abstract: An ammonia generation apparatus is disposed in a stage after a urea water injection unit. The ammonia generation apparatus includes a main body which has an introduction opening for introducing exhaust gas, a discharge opening for discharging the exhaust gas, a first flow passage and a second flow passage which communicate with the introduction opening and the discharge opening and which are separated from each other. The ammonia generation apparatus includes a heating unit disposed in the first flow passage, and a first changeover section which is disposed on one side of the main body where the introduction opening is provided and which can switch the exhaust gas flow passage between the first flow passage and the second flow passage.

    Abstract: A purification control device (12) controls a urea water injector (5) for supplying urea as a reducing agent to an SCR catalyst (4). The purification control device (12) sets a pre-deterioration maximum occlusion amount based on the SCR catalyst temperature, and estimates the concentration of ammonia discharged from the SCR catalyst (4), as an estimated ammonia concentration, based on upstream NOx concentration information, downstream NOx concentration information, urea injection amount information, the pre-deterioration maximum occlusion amount, and ammonia occlusion amount information. The purification control device (12) acquires downstream ammonia concentration information. When the downstream ammonia concentration is greater than the estimated ammonia concentration, the purification control device (12) decreases the supply amount of urea from the urea water injector (5).

    Abstract: A gas sensor includes a gas sensor element, a metallic shell, and a tubular protector fixed at a front side of the metallic shell. A front end of the gas sensor element faces an internal space formed between an inner surface of the protector and an inner surface of the metallic shell. The protector includes: a fixing portion surrounding the front side of the metallic shell and fixed to the metallic shell; a space partition portion extending radially and having inner gas introduction holes communicating with the internal space; a side wall connected to a radially inner side of the space partition portion; and a bottom wall formed on a front side of the side wall with an inner gas discharge hole. The gas sensor element is located rearward relative to an inner surface of an inner gas introduction hole located on the frontmost side.

    Abstract: A gas sensor includes a sensing element, a metal shell that is tubular and that surrounds the sensing element, and a protector made of a metal and fixed to the metal shell. A back end portion of the protector is joined to an outer surface of the metal shell to form a joined portion. A coefficient of thermal expansion of a material of the protector at 800 degrees Celsius is higher than a coefficient of thermal expansion of a material of the metal shell at 800 degrees Celsius. In a cross section of a portion of the gas sensor including the joined portion, a minimum distance t1 between the outer surface of the metal shell and an outer surface of the protector and a minimum distance t2 between the outer surface of the metal shell and an inner surface of the metal shell satisfy 0.6≤(t1/t2)≤2.0.

    Abstract: A purification controller 12 is configured to estimate the amount of ammonia occluded (i.e. ammonia occlusion amount) in an SCR catalyst 4, which is arranged in an exhaust pipe 52 of a diesel engine 51 so as to purify NOx in an exhaust gas of the diesel engine 51. More specifically, the purification controller 12 acquires upstream NO concentration data, upstream NO2 concentration data, downstream NOx concentration data, downstream NO2 concentration data and downstream ammonia concentration data. The purification controller 12 further acquires an urea injection amount. Then, the purification controller 12 estimates the ammonia occlusion amount based on the acquired upstream NO concentration data, upstream NO2 concentration data, downstream NOx concentration data, downstream NO2 concentration data and downstream ammonia concentration data, the acquired urea injection amount and reaction formulas for reduction of NOx with the SCR catalyst 4.
