摘要:
An adsorber temperature-estimating device for an internal combustion engine comprises an adsorber arranged in the exhaust passage, for adsorbing an unburnt gas component present in exhaust gases emitted from the engine. Operating parameter sensors detect operating parameters of the engine, and an ECU estimates the temperature of the adsorber, based on the detected operating parameters. An exhaust gas-purifying system for the engine comprises the adsorber, a catalytic converter arranged in the exhaust passage at a location downstream of the adsorbing means, for purifying exhaust gases, and a secondary air supply pump for supplying secondary air to the exhaust passage at a location upstream of the catalytic converter. The ECU controls an amount of secondary air to be supplied to the exhaust passage, based on the estimated temperature calculated by the adsorber temperature-estimating device.

An exhaust gas-purifying system for an internal combustion engine is provided with hydrocarbon-adsorbing catalyzer for adsorbing unburnt gas components present in exhaust gases. At least one exhaust gas-purifying catalyzer is arranged in the exhaust passage at a location downstream of the hydrocarbon-adsorbing catalyzer. A bypass passage bypasses the hydrocarbon-purifying catalyzer. A changeover valve is arranged in the exhaust passage at a branchpoint between the bypass passage and the exhaust passage, for selecting a first flow path in which exhaust gases are guided to the unburnt gas component-adsorbing catalyzer, or a second flow path in which exhaust gases are guided through the bypass passage. First and second exhaust gas concentration sensors are arranged in the exhaust passage at locations upstream and downstream of the hydrocarbon-purifying catalyzer. An ECU controls the changeover valve to select the first flow path or the second flow path, based on outputs from the first and second exhaust gas concentration sensors.

An internal combustion engine has an adsorber arranged in the exhaust passage for adsorbing unburnt components in exhaust gases, and an exhaust gas-purifying device arranged in the exhaust passage at a location downstream of the adsorber. The exhaust gas-purifying device is equipped with a heater. An ignition timing of an internal combustion engine is retarded when the engine is started at a low engine temperature. The retardation of the ignition timing is restrained over a time period from the start of the engine to a time point the exhaust gas-purifying device is warmed up to a predetermined activated condition.

摘要:
An exhaust gas-purifying system for an internal combustion engine has an adsorbing device arranged in an exhaust passage thereof for adsorbing or desorbing unburnt component contained in exhaust gases. An exhaust gas recirculation passage branches off from the exhaust passage at a branch point downstream of the adsorbing device and extending to an intake passage of the engine for returning exhaust gases flowing through the adsorbing device to the intake passage. The path of exhaust gases is changed to selectively introduce the exhaust gases containing the unburnt components into the exhaust gas recirculation passage. The adsorbing capacity of the adsorbing device is checked based on a manner of change in an air-fuel ratio of exhaust gases detected when the exhaust gases are introduced into the exhaust gas recirculation passage.

An adsorbing capacity determining apparatus is provided for determining the adsorbing capacity of an unburned component adsorbing device in an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine. The adsorbing capacity determining apparatus comprises upstream and downstream air-fuel ratio detectors, respectively coupled upstream and downstream from the unburned component adsorbing device, a temperature sensor for sensing the temperature of the unburned component adsorbing means and a computer for determining the adsorption capacity as a function of the outputs of the system and downstream air-fuel ratio detectors, when the temperature is within a predetermined range.

In an engine exhaust emission control system, a ternary catalyst and a hydrocarbon adsorber are provided in an exhaust passageway from an engine. The ternary catalyst includes first passages through which an exhaust gas discharged from the engine flows, and second passages through which the exhaust gas which has flowed through the first passages and the hydrocarbon adsorber flows. The first and second passages are laminated to each other to enable heat exchange therebetween. The hydrocarbon adsorber is capable of being cooled by a cooling medium. Thus, it is possible to reliably prevent hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas from being released to the atmosphere during the cold start of the engine.

In a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine including a plurality of fuel injection valves corresponding to a plurality of cylinders, respectively, and a catalytic converter provided in an exhaust system common to the cylinders, the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gas from the engine is precisely controlled in accordance with the operational condition of the engine in a low-temperature state of the engine for the prompt activation of the catalyst.
