Exhaust gas cleaning system for engineering vehicle

Номер: US20120047883A1
Принадлежит: HITACHI CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO LTD

An exhaust gas cleaning system is provided in an engineering vehicle such as a hydraulic excavator. During automatic regeneration, when a gate lock lever 5 is in a locked state and work is not performed, the exhaust gas temperature detected by the exhaust temperature detecting device 37 may be lower than the threshold value, so temperature-rising assistance is started as follows. The minimum engine output PS 1 (pump discharge pressure P 1 and pump discharge amount Q 1 ) is brought to engine output PS 2 (pump discharge pressure P 2 and pump discharge amount Q 2 ). In this way, a hydraulic load is applied to an engine to thereby increase exhaust gas temperature. When the work is resumed during the regeneration, an operator pulls down the gate lock lever to the first position A, and the engine output is returned to PS 1. Thus, the temperature-rising assistance is stopped, however the automatic regeneration is continued.

A desulfurization timing is determined based on the number of times that the DPF is regenerated to be able to simplify the desulfurization logic and also reduce the memory of ECU, when the LNT catalyst is poisoned by a small amount of sulfur included in exhaust gas.

Exhaust gas purification system in upland area

Номер: US20130061582A1
Принадлежит: Isuzu Motors Ltd

When a diesel particulate diffuser (“DPD”) of a vehicle traveling in a normal drive mode in the upland area is to be automatically regenerated by raising a temperature of exhaust gas from an engine, an exhaust gas purification system determines an upland full-load injection quantity from the atmospheric pressure in the upland area and an engine speed while the vehicle is in motion and drives the vehicle with the injection quantity determined. The system determines, during the regeneration mode, an upland drive regeneration injection quantity obtained by decreasing the upland full-load injection quantity on the basis of a quantity required for the post-injection. The injection quantity is gradually decreased from the upland full-load injection quantity to the upland regeneration drive injection quantity when the vehicle shifts from the normal drive mode in the upland area to the upland regeneration mode, so that the decreased quantity is used for the post-injection.

The estimate of accumulated particulate matter in the after-treatment component is compared to a predetermined threshold associated with the after-treatment component, and a remedial action is initiated when the estimate of accumulated particulate matter in the after-treatment component exceeds the predetermined threshold.

Method and device for determining a lambda air ratio using a gas sensor

Номер: US20140007651A1
Принадлежит: ROBERT BOSCH GMBH

A method for determining a lambda air ratio using a gas sensor having a ceramic measuring element, an output voltage of the gas sensor changing abruptly if lambda is changed in the range around lambda=1 and the gas sensor having an initial inverse voltage which is dependent on the temperature of the gas sensor. A threshold value for the initial inverse voltage is established for a limit between a lambda value below and above 1 as a function of the temperature of the gas sensor. Also described is a device for implementing the method. The method and the device make it possible to operate gas sensors having a ceramic measuring element at an even lower temperature than according to the related art and thus reduce the period between the start of an internal combustion engine and the operational readiness of a lambda regulation. This makes it possible to reduce the fuel consumption as well as the emission of undesirable components of the exhaust gas.
