  • Patent number: 7497078
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purifying system reliably detects an amount of accumulated particulates, lengthens forced regeneration intervals, and improves fuel efficiency. The exhaust gas purifying system comprises: a particulate filter 22 disposed in an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine 2 and collecting particulates from exhaust gas, and an NO2 generating unit 21 upstream of or in the particulate filter 22; a discharged particulate amount calculating unit A1 calculates an amount Me of discharged particulates on the basis of an excess air ratio ?; a burnt particulate amount calculating unit A2 calculates an amount Mb of burnt particulates on the basis of the temperature of exhaust gas in front of the particulate filter or the temperature of the particulate filter; and a particulate accumulation amount calculating unit calculates an amount Ma of accumulated particulates on the basis of the amount Me of discharged particulates or the amount Mb of burnt particulates.

  • Publication number: 20050266988
    Abstract: An oxidation catalyst apparatus and a particulate collecting filter are provided sequentially from an upstream side in an exhaust gas passage of a diesel engine. A ratio of the weight of Pd to a sum of the weights of Pt and Pd carried on the oxidation catalyst apparatus is satisfactory with the following inequality: 0.05?Pd/(Pt+Pd)?0.75. When the rise of the temperature of the particulate collecting filter is needed, fuel is supplied into the oxidation catalyst apparatus.
