摘要:
An exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine which is capable of supplying a just enough amount of reducing agent to a NOx catalyst while causing the consumption amount of reducing agent dependent on the degradation degree of an upstream catalyst to be reflected thereon. A NOx catalyst is disposed at a location downstream of a catalyst having an oxidation function for purifying exhaust gases, for trapping NOx contained in exhaust gases in an oxidizing atmosphere, and reducing the trapped NOx in a reducing atmosphere to thereby purify the trapped NOx. Exhaust gases flowing into the NOx catalyst are controlled to the reducing atmosphere, by supplying reducing agent to an upstream side of the catalyst. The degradation degree of the catalyst is estimated, and a time period over which the reduction control should be executed is corrected according to the estimated degradation degree.

An exhaust control device for an internal combustion engine, comprises: a NOx purifying catalyst disposed in an exhaust system; and a rich control means for calculating a fuel injection amount based on a difference between a target exhaust air fuel ratio and an actual exhaust air fuel ratio to feedback-control the actual exhaust air fuel ratio so that a reducing atmosphere is created in the exhaust system to thereby reduce NOx trapped by the NOx purifying catalyst, wherein the rich control means includes a learning means for calculating and updating a control correction value of the fuel injection amount based on an actual control value of the fuel injection amount during the feedback control, and wherein the fuel injection amount is calculated during the feedback control by using the control correction value.
摘要:
In a control device for an internal combustion engine provided with a NOx catalytic converter in an exhaust passage thereof, the progress of an undesired substance removal process is computed from the consumption of the reducing agent contained in the exhaust gas in the NOx catalytic converter. The undesired substance may include sulfur contents and NOx captured in the NOx catalytic converter. This computation may be based on the air fuel ratio of the exhaust gas upstream of the NOx catalytic converter and the estimated consumption of the reducing agent contained in the exhaust gas or on the difference between the air fuel ratios of the exhaust gas upstream and downstream of the NOx catalytic converter. In either case, the accuracy can be improved by taking into account the space velocity of the exhaust gas.

An exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine, which is capable of accurately estimating the amount of NOx trapped by a NOx catalyst even when a catalyst is provided on an upstream side of the NOx catalyst. A catalyst having the function of purifying NOx and a NOx catalyst for trapping NOx under an oxidizing atmosphere are disposed in an exhaust system. The amount of NOx contained in exhaust gases is estimated. A NOx purification performance of the catalyst is calculated. The NOx emission amount is corrected based on the purification performance. An amount of NOx trapped in the NOx catalyst is calculated based on the corrected NOx emission amount. A reducing agent is supplied to an upstream side of the catalyst based on the trapped NOx amount, thereby causing the NOx catalyst to carry out a NOx reducing operation.

An exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine, which is capable of supplying a just enough amount of reducing agent to a NOx catalyst, thereby reducing exhaust emission and improving fuel economy. The device includes a three-way catalyst, a NOx catalyst provided downstream of the three-way catalyst, and an ECU. The ECU carries out rich spike control such that exhaust gases flowing into the NOx catalyst form a reducing atmosphere. During the control, the ECU calculates a reducing agent consumption amount of reducing agent in the exhaust gases consumed by the three-way catalyst, calculates a cumulative reducing agent amount as a total amount of reducing agent supplied to the NOx catalyst, depending on the reducing agent consumption amount, and terminates the control when the cumulative reducing agent amount becomes larger than a predetermined value.

A NOx removing device 4 having NOx absorbing capacity and ammonia retaining capacity is provided in an exhaust pipe 2 of an internal combustion engine 1. A reforming catalyst 3 is disposed upstream of the NOx removing device 4. The reforming catalyst 3 generates hydrogen and carbon monoxide by the steam reforming reaction, when the exhaust gases are in the reducing state. Hydrogen and carbon monoxide generated by the reforming catalyst 3 are supplied to the NOx removing device 4, and contribute to generation of ammonia. The generated ammonia is retained in the NOx removing device 4 and reduces NOx in exhaust gases when the exhaust gases are in the oxidizing state.

An exhaust gas purifying apparatus for an internal combustion engine having an exhaust system. The apparatus includes a NOx purifying device provided in the exhaust system. This device removes NOx from exhaust gases when a concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gases is higher than a concentration of reducing components in the exhaust gases; generates ammonia and retains the generated ammonia when the concentration of reducing components in the inflowing exhaust gases is higher than the concentration of oxygen; and purifies NOx with the retained ammonia when the concentration of reducing components in the inflowing exhaust gases is lower than the concentration of oxygen. A residual amount of ammonia retained in the NOx purifying device is estimated. The concentration of reducing components in the exhaust gases is switched with respect to the concentration of oxygen according to the estimated residual amount.
