摘要:
A fuel vapor adsorbing device (10, 60, 70, 70′, 80) for adsorbing residual fuel vapors that remain in an intake conduit (1, 2, 3, 4) of an induction system of an internal combustion engine when the internal combustion engine is stopped may include an adsorbing member (40, 40′) that is constructed to adsorb the residual fuel vapors and is disposed along an inner wall surface of the intake conduit. The adsorbing member is arranged and constructed to form a supplemental intake path (T, T′, T′″) between the adsorbing member and the inner wall surface of the intake conduit, so that intake air of the engine can flow through the supplemental intake path.

An evaporative fuel adsorbent 32, which adsorbs evaporative fuel, is positioned substantially parallel to a sidewall surface 30 of a surge tank 22. A retention member 34 is positioned between the sidewall surface 22 and evaporative fuel adsorbent 32 to prevent oil, which runs down on the sidewall surface 22, from adhering to the evaporative fuel adsorbent 32. The evaporative fuel adsorbent 32 is mounted on the sidewall surface 30 of the surge tank 22 via the retention member 34.

摘要:
Disclosed is a technology of diagnosing an exhaust gas purifying apparatus about a fault in its temperature control function of controlling a temperature of an exhaust gas purifying catalyst. The exhaust gas purifying apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes the exhaust gas purifying catalyst, and a temperature control means for controlling the temperature of this exhaust gas purifying catalyst. The exhaust gas purifying apparatus is judged to be faulted, wherein at least one of a state of the temperature control means and a state of the exhaust gas purifying catalyst serves as a parameter.
摘要:
An exhaust purifying apparatus purifies an unburnt gas component, such as unburnt hydrocarbon (HC), discharged from an internal combustion engine without fail and prevents the unburnt hydrocarbon from being discharged into the atmosphere. In order to achieve this, the exhaust gas purifying apparatus is provided with a plurality of exhaust passages connected to the internal combustion engine. A joint exhaust passage is formed by merging the exhaust passages and an exhaust gas flows through the joint exhaust passage. An adsorption/desorption unit is provided in each of the exhaust passages for adsorbing an unburnt gas component contained in the exhaust gas that flows through each of the exhaust passages at a temperature lower than a predetermined temperature. The adsorption/desorption unit desorbs the adsorbed unburnt gas component at a temperature equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature. A desorption/adjustment mechanism synchronizes timing of the unburnt gas component desorbed from the adsorption/desorption units into the exhaust purifying units.
摘要:
A device for purifying exhaust gas includes an HC adsorbent and an exhaust gas purifying catalyst disposed in an exhaust gas passage in this order from the upstream side. The exhaust gas purifying catalyst is provided with an O.sub.2 storage capability, i.e., the exhaust gas purifying catalyst is capable of absorbing oxygen in the exhaust gas when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is lean, and is capable of releasing the absorbed oxygen when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas becomes rich. When the engine starts, the HC adsorbent adsorbs HC in the exhaust gas. When the temperature of the exhaust gas becomes high, the HC adsorbent releases the adsorbed HC. The device also includes an engine control unit which operates the engine at a lean air-fuel ratio during a predetermined period before the releasing of the HC from the HC adsorbent occurs. Therefore, oxygen is absorbed and stored in the exhaust gas purifying catalyst before the releasing of HC occurs. When the releasing of HC from the HC adsorbent occurs, the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the exhaust gas purifying catalyst becomes rich due to the HC released from the HC adsorbent. This causes the exhaust gas purifying catalyst to release the absorbed oxygen, and the HC in the exhaust gas is purified by the exhaust gas purifying catalyst using the released oxygen.
摘要:
A device for purifying the exhaust gas of an engine having a plurality of cylinders divided into first and second cylinder groups, the first and the second cylinder groups being connected to first and second exhaust passage, respectively, and performing a lean operation, comprises an NH.sub.3 synthesizing catalyst arranged in the first exhaust passage, and an exhaust gas purifying catalyst arranged in an interconnecting passage, which interconnects the first passage downstream of the NH.sub.3 synthesizing catalyst and the second exhaust passage, for purifying the inflowing NO.sub.X and NH.sub.3. An additional engine performing a rich operation is provided and the exhaust gas thereof is fed to the first exhaust gas passage upstream of the NH.sub.3 synthesizing catalyst to make the exhaust gas air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NH.sub.3 synthesizing catalyst rich, to thereby synthesize NH.sub.3 therein. An amount of NH.sub.3 or NO.sub.X flowing into the exhaust gas purifying catalyst is obtained, and the additional engine is controlled in accordance with the obtained NH.sub.3 or NO.sub.X amount to control the amount of the reducing agent flowing to the exhaust gas purifying catalyst.
摘要:
A moisture adsorbent (32) for adsorbing moisture in exhaust gas and an NOx adsorbent (34) for adsorbing NOx are disposed in a bypass passage (30) for bypassing an exhaust passage (16) of an internal combustion engine (10). When an adsorption operation to the NOx adsorbent (34) is executed, inflow of the exhaust gas to the bypass passage (30) is allowed until the moisture amount that flows into the water adsorbent (32) reaches an allowable moisture inflow amount. The allowable moisture inflow amount is determined based on a residual moisture amount before the starting of the adsorption operation in the moisture adsorbent (32). The residual moisture amount in the water adsorbent (32) can be determined based on the temperature of the moisture adsorbent (32) at the immediately preceding execution of the purge operation.
