    摘要: A method for monitoring a secondary airflow (SAIR) system in an engine includes determining degradation of the SAIR system adding a SAIR to downstream of an engine cylinder exhaust based on a comparison of the SAIR before and after a shutdown of a SAIR pump, the SAIR calculated from a fuel injection amount, an exhaust air-fuel ratio, and an engine intake airflow. In this way, SAIR at the exhaust manifold can be monitored utilizing existing onboard sensors and technology, thereby maintaining OBD and emissions monitoring, reducing engine emissions, and maintaining costs.

    摘要: A control apparatus is applied to an internal combustion engine where an EHC and a filter are arranged in this sequence from an upstream side. The control apparatus performs a regeneration process for removing particulate matter deposited in the filter through oxidation, and a recovery process for raising the temperature of exhaust gas to a temperature higher than in the case of the regeneration process and removing the particulate matter deposited at a front end portion of the EHC through oxidation when it is determined that the insulation resistance of the EHC is equal to or lower than a prescribed value. The control apparatus performs the regeneration process and then the recovery process when it is determined that the insulation resistance is equal to or lower than the prescribed value and the deposition amount of the particulate matter in the filter is equal to or larger than a prescribed amount.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer readable storage media for controlling oxidation of a particulate filter (PF) are closed. The oxidation of the PF may be controlled using a PF model. The PF model may be utilized to simulate operations of the PF based on various input data and/or derived data to determine an optimum time for initiating an oxidation event at the PF, and an oxidation event may be initiated at the PF based on the simulating.

    摘要: A controller for a hybrid electric vehicle includes processing circuitry configured to execute a manual filter regeneration process when satisfying a condition including that execution of the manual filter regeneration process is requested to decrease a PM deposit amount on the filter and that the hybrid electric vehicle is in a stopped state. In the manual filter regeneration process, when a state of charge of the battery becomes less than a discharge threshold value, an output of an internal combustion engine is converted to electric power for charging the battery while the filter is supplied with oxygen from the engine. Further, when the state of charge of the battery becomes greater than or equal to a charge threshold value that is greater than or equal to the discharge threshold value, an output shaft of the engine is rotated with the motor to supply the filter with oxygen from the engine.

    摘要: A heating device for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine and having: a tubular body, where a combustion chamber is obtained on the inside; a fuel injector, which is designed to inject fuel into the combustion chamber; at least one inlet opening, which can be connected to a fan so as to receive an air flow, which is directed to the combustion chamber; a feeding channel, which receives air from the inlet opening, surrounds an end portion of the fuel injector and ends with a nozzle, which is arranged around an injection point of the fuel injector; and a spark plug, which is mounted through a side wall of the tubular body. The feeding channel is delimited, on the outside, by an outer tubular body. The fuel injector is configured to spray at least part of the fuel against the outer tubular body, which has a through opening, through which a spray tip of the fuel injector letting out the fuel directly aims at the electrodes of the spark plug.

    摘要: The present invention is applied to an exhaust system provided with a three-way catalyst and a NOx catalyst which are provided in an exhaust passage of an engine and to which sulfur components in exhaust adhere and release the attached sulfur components by rich components in exhaust, and NOx sensors provided downstream of the catalysts. The NOx sensor is a limiting current type sensor. It is determined whether a sulfur release state is present in which a sulfur component is released from the three-way catalyst and the NOx catalyst. When it is determined that it is in the state of sulfur release, reaction suppression processing for suppressing the reaction between oxygen and sulfur components in the pump cell electrodes and the monitor cell electrodes of the NOx sensors is performed.
