Title:

EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL DEVICE OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2002/008583

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

An exhaust emission control device of an internal combustion engine, comprising an NOx catalyst (17) installed in the exhaust gas passage of a lean burnable internal combustion engine and discharging the NOx absorbed therein with reducing agent for reducing, a reducing agent feeding means (19) installed in the exhaust gas passage on the upstream side of the NOx catalyst (17), a load detection means for detecting a load on the internal combustion engine (1), and a reducing agent addition control means for controlling a reducing agent adding time and a reducing agent adding interval based on the load on the internal combustion engine (1), wherein the adding time and adding interval for the reducing agent are controlled in consideration of the degree of adherence of the reducing agent on the wall surface in the exhaust gas passage varying according to the flow velocity and temperature of exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine (1) to supply sufficient amount of reducing agent to the NOx catalyst side irrespective of the operating conditions, whereby a proper amount of reducing agent can always be supplied to the Nox catalyst even if the operating conditions of the internal combustion engine vary.
