摘要:
Presented herein is an energy conversion module containing an internal combustion engine, air compressor, fuel delivery system, waste energy collection system and emission control system. Energy input is controlled via a feedback loop containing an air compressor, carburetor and post-combustion oxygen sensor. Emissions are controlled via the use of a high-efficiency catalytic converter and exhaust gas recirculation system via a feedback from post-catalytic oxygen sensors. Waste heat energy is also collected from both the combustion and catalytic processes via a series of heat exchangers and a high-heat capacity medium.
摘要:
In an engine, if a catalytic converter is not in the activated region, a fuel injection rate is corrected to increase, and a secondary air is introduced from a secondary air feed port into a catalytic converter. Even immediately after the cold start of the engine, the fuel injection rate is increased to be richer in fuel than the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio to feed the secondary air simultaneously, so that the temperatures of the catalytic converter and the exhaust gas can be kept over the activation temperature by the heat of the reaction of the increased fuel in the catalytic converter thereby to improve the exhaust gas purification.

In an exhaust gas purification system for an internal combustion engine including a catalytic converter disposed in an exhaust pipe, an apparatus for controlling an amount and temperature of fresh air fed into the exhaust pipe so that optimal purification efficiency of the catalytic converter can realized. The apparatus includes an air pump for taking in fresh air, a control valve for controlling air flow, a heater for heating the air and the controller for controlling the pump, the valve and the hater in dependence on engine operation states so that nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon contained in the exhaust gas can be removed to a maximum through reduction and oxidation reactions. An abnormality detecting device detects occurrence of abnormality in the air feeding control apparatus for ensuring fail-safe operation thereof.
摘要:
The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling the supply of secondary air to the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. A method for diagnosing this arrangement is also provided. The arrangement includes an electrically operated secondary air pump which can be operated in at least two stages in dependence upon operating parameters of the engine. In this way, the supply of secondary air can be finely adapted to the actual value of the exhaust gas quantity supplied by the engine. This fine adaptation is determined by the number of stages. Resistors are switched into the current supply of the secondary air pump for the drive which has at least two stages.
摘要:
In case of trouble of a secondary air supply system, supply of an additional amount of fuel to an intake system and supply of secondary air to an exhaust system at the time of a particular engine operating condition such as an idling condition are stopped for regulating an air-fuel ratio closer to a stoichiometric value.
摘要:
A two-cycle engine has a scavenge pump provided in an intake passage, and a fuel/air injector provided for injecting fuel directly in a cylinder of the engine together with air. A control unit has a calculator for calculating quantities of fuel and air injected from the fuel/air injector and for producing a fuel injection pulse width signal and an air injection pulse width signal based on the calculated quantities. Engine speed at idling state is compared with a desired idle speed and an error signal is produced. At least one of the pulse width signals is corrected with a correction value for controlling the injection quantity so as to cause the idle speed to converge to the desired idle speed.

A system for introducing secondary air into gas exhausted from an internal combustion engine of the carburetor type, provided with a three-way catalytic converter in the exhaust system of the engine. The system includes a flow control valve having a diaphragm operated valve member for controlling the amount of secondary air in accordance with electric signals from a .lambda.-sensor arranged in an exhaust system of the engine so that excess air ratio .lambda. of the exhaust gas, which is introduced into the three-way catalytic converter, is controlled near 1.0. Therefore, effective cleaning operation of the three-way catalytic converter is expected.
摘要:
Secondary air is fed into the engine exhaust gas passageway at a position upstream of an oxygen sensor to cause the electric air-fuel ratio control device and the air-fuel mixture generator to provide an air-fuel mixture having an air-fuel ratio lower than a set desired air-fuel ratio during idle and slow speed running of the engine.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine which is provided with an exhaust gas treatment system, such as thermal or catalytic reactors, includes a primary regulating system for admitting fresh air to the exhaust system for the chemical processes taking place in the reactors. This fresh air regulation depends on the engine rpm and on the induction tube pressure. There is also provided a secondary air control system, including a three-way valve and an electronic controller and an oxygen probe, located in the exhaust manifold. The probe supplies the controller with a signal related to the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas and the controller uses this signal to actuate the three-way valve which admits either induction tube pressure or, alternatively, exhaust system pressure, to a control chamber in the primary regulating system, thereby influencing the quantity of fresh air supplied to the exhaust manifold of the engine.
摘要:
An air injection system for turbocharged engines wherein air is released from a container and injected into the engine manifold in response to a signal representing a change in the magnitude of the load driven by the engine includes a valve means for isolating the turbocharger from the manifold during the time the air is injected and until the pressure in the manifold falls below the turbocharger discharge pressure during which time the turbocharger increases its speed whereby engine speed deviations are minimized.
