With the engine, reduction of NOx emission by EGR can be achieved without incurring deterioration in engine durability by enabling operation of the engine with proper EGR rate all over the operating ranges of the engine through making it possible to compensate for reduction in EGR amounts due to reduced DPF pressure difference which occurs when recovering operation of the DPF is performed.

Abstract: In the energy saving mode, a card I/F circuit section is controlled to turn ON intermittently for a predetermined interval by using a switch. The I/F circuit section supplies electric power to an outside I/F part during the ON interval, and receives some communication data from the outside. When the communication data received by the I/F circuit section is a request for a return from the energy saving mode, a return to the ordinary mode is effected. Therefore, an I/F part, such as a non-contact IC card, requiring external electric power supply can be used as a factor of a request for a return from the energy saving mode. In addition, the energy consumption for that purpose can be reduced.

Abstract: A diesel engine system includes a diesel engine, a throttle valve, an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) path, an EGR valve and a controller. The throttle valve controls a flow rate of intake air to the diesel engine. Exhaust gas is recirculated along the EGR path from an exhaust port to an intake port of the diesel engine. The EGR valve controls a flow rate of the exhaust gas. The controller controls the throttle valve and the EGR valve such that an opening of the throttle valve decreases and an opening of the EGR valve increases when a load of the diesel engine increases. The controller controls the EGR valve such that the opening of the EGR valve increases after the opening of the EGR valve is held constant for a first predetermined holding time.
