Title:
CATALYST CAPACITY DETECTION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023175080
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To determine capacity of a catalyst while suppressing increase in toxic substances in an exhaust gas.SOLUTION: A catalyst capacity detection device 10 includes: a catalyst 31 disposed in an exhaust passage 3 of an internal combustion engine 1 and having oxygen storage capacity; and an A/F sensor 32 disposed downstream from the catalyst 31 in the exhaust passage 3 to detect an oxygen concentration of an exhaust gas corresponding to an air-fuel ratio of a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine 1. The catalyst capacity detection device calculates an inclination in correlation between the oxygen concentration and an oxygen density change speed from a value of the oxygen concentration detected by the A/F sensor 32 and determines capacity of the catalyst from the change of the inclination.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
