Patent number: 7788909Abstract: An exhaust gas purification system including an exhaust gas purification device having an oxidation catalyst device including an oxidation catalyst and a diesel particulate filter (“DPF”) arranged in order from an upstream side, or a DPF carrying an oxidation catalyst in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine. At regeneration of the DPF, when a catalyst temperature index temperature (Tg2), indicating a temperature of the oxidation catalyst, becomes equal to a predetermined determining temperature (Tc1) or above, a temperature of the DPF is raised by supplying an unburned fuel to the upstream side of the oxidation catalyst to thereby oxidize the unburned fuel by the oxidation catalyst. The predetermined determining temperature (Tc1) is changed according to an engine speed Ne of the internal combustion engine.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2007Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Isuzu Motors LimitedInventors: Takashi Haseyama, Takao Onodera, Yoshinobu Watanabe, Tatsuo Mashiko

Publication number: 20100024395Abstract: In a control method of an exhaust emission purification system (1) and the exhaust emission purification system (1), an exhaust throttle valve (14) is opened if an engine load reaches at least a predetermined first judgment value during execution of forced regeneration control with said exhaust throttle valve (14) closed when a vehicle is stopping. If the engine load thereby increases during execution of forced regeneration of a DPF (12) for purifying PM (particulate matter) in exhaust gas with the exhaust throttle valve (14) closed when the vehicle is stopping, a good combustion state can be sustained in a cylinder by opening the exhaust throttle valve (14) and taking fresh air into the cylinder of an engine (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2007Publication date: February 4, 2010Inventors: Shinji Gotou, Takashi Haseyama, Takao Onodera, Tatsuo Mashiko

Publication number: 20100011750Abstract: In an exhaust emission purification method and an exhaust emission purification system where forced regeneration start timing of a DPF for purifying the PM (particulate matters) in exhaust gas is judged based on the comparison of a differential pressure across the DPF with a predetermined differential pressure threshold across the DPF, a differential pressure threshold (?Ps) across the DPF is set by multiplying a reference differential pressure threshold (?Ps0) across the DPF by a coefficient (?(?M)) which varies stepwise or continuously depending on the mileage (?M) of a vehicle after previous forced regeneration. Consequently, the PM can be removed by burning while the amount of PM accumulated unevenly in the DPF is still small, and excessive temperature rise in the DPF resulting from excessive accumulation of PM during forced regeneration and melting-loss of DPF due to excessive temperature rise can be prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2007Publication date: January 21, 2010Applicant: ISUZU MOTORS LIMITEDInventors: Takao Onodera, Akira Hirata, Takashi Haseyama, Shinji Gotou, Hitoshi Satou, Tatsuo Mashiko, Futoshi Nakano, Kouichirou Yomogida

Publication number: 20100012105Abstract: An exhaust emission purification system including a controller performing exhaust temperature rise control executing multistage delay injection control for raising the exhaust temperature, if the exhaust gas temperature is lower than a predetermined judgment temperature, and performing particulate matter combustion removal control executing post injection control, if the exhaust gas temperature becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined judgment temperature, when forced regeneration of a diesel particulate filter is carried out. Multistage delay injection control is forbidden when an idle operation state of an internal combustion engine is sustained for a predetermined judgment time and a power take-off is in operating state. The diesel particulate filter is thereby kept in a good state in a vehicle equipped for purifying particulate matter in exhaust gas by executing forced regeneration while avoiding variation in engine speed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2007Publication date: January 21, 2010Applicant: ISUZU MOTORS LIMITEDInventors: Takashi Haseyama, Akihiro Inamura, Shinji Gotou, Hitoshi Satou, Tatsuo Mashiko, Akira Hirata, Noriyuki Tsukamoto, Futoshi Nakano, Kouichirou Yomogida

Publication number: 20090235647Abstract: In regeneration control in a manual regeneration mode, when a first exhaust gas temperature (Tg1) of an exhaust gas flowing into an oxidation catalyst device (12a) is higher than a predetermined determining temperature (Tc1) and an exhaust gas temperature (Tg2) flowing into a DPF device (12b) is higher than a predetermined determining temperature (Tc2) and when an intake temperature (Ta) becomes higher than a predetermined third determining temperature (Tc3), second exhaust gas temperature control carrying out post injection in addition to multi injection is stopped and switched to third exhaust gas temperature rise control carrying out the post injection in addition to normal injection. Thus, in the regeneration control in the manual regeneration mode of a continuous regeneration type DPF device (12) of an engine(10), temperature rise of an engine cooling water can be restricted without stopping an air conditioner, and possible overheat of the engine (10) can be prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2006Publication date: September 24, 2009Applicant: Isuzu Motors LimitedInventors: Shigeru Ikeda, Takashi Ikeda, Takao Onodera, Tatsuo Mashiko

Publication number: 20090064665Abstract: A method (1) of controlling an exhaust gas purification system has a DPF device (12), where a regeneration control means (35C) has a forced regeneration mode and an arbitrary regeneration mode. In the forced regeneration mode, when it is determined by a regeneration time determination means (34C) that it is time to regenerate a filter (12b) and the temperature of exhaust gas is low, the exhaust gas temperature is raised by an exhaust gas temperature raising means (351C) to forcibly regenerate the filter (12b).

Publication number: 20090007549Abstract: In in-cylinder fuel multi-injection conducted during forced regeneration of a DPF (12b), control maps for multi-injection are constructed so as to be different for a first gas temperature raising control, which raises a catalyst temperature index temperature (Tg2, Tg1) to a first judgment temperature (Tc1) only by multi-injection, and for a subsequent second exhaust gas temperature raising control, wherein post-injection is conducted in addition to multi-injection to raise a filter temperature index temperature (Tg2) to a second judgment temperature (Tc2).
