Title:
内燃機関の排ガス浄化装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4186259
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately detect the deterioration of a lean NOx catalyst by providing an estimation means which estimates the NOx storing capacity of the lean NOx catalyst based on the size of the output value of an oxygen concentration sensor in rich combustion and a deterioration detecting means which detects the deterioration of the catalyst based on the NOx storing capacity of the estimated lean NOx catalyst. SOLUTION: NOx catalyst 14 is arranged in an engine exhaust pipe 12, an A/F sensor 26 is arranged in its upstream, and an O2 sensor 27 is arranged in the downstream. A CPU 31 in an ECU 30 implements lean combustion in an air fuel ratio lean region, NOx in the exhaust gas exhausted in the lean combustion is stored by NOx catalyst 14, the air fuel ratio is temporarily controlled to become rich, and the stored NOx is emitted from the NOx catalyst 14. The CPU 31 finds the peak value of the output of the O2 sensor 27 in the rich combustion, and estimates the NOx storage capacity of the NOx catalyst 14 based on the peak value. The deterioration of the catalyst 14 is thus detected based on the estimated NOx storage capacity.
