  • Patent number: 9371757
    Abstract: A catalytic converter of an internal combustion engine may include: at least one inlet channel having an end through which an exhaust gas is flowed into and the other end which is blocked; at least one outlet channel having an end which is blocked and the other end through which the exhaust gas is discharged; and a wall defining a boundary between neighboring inlet channel and outlet channel, and adapted to flow the exhaust gas from the inlet channel to the outlet channel, wherein the wall includes a single-layered portion formed at an end portion and having a three-way catalyst layer, and a multi-layered portion being the portion other than the single-layered portion and having a three-way catalyst layer, a hydrocarbon trap layer and an insulating layer. An apparatus of purifying an exhaust gas is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20160040569
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purifying filter, a system for regenerating a particulate filter, and a method therefore are disclosed. An exhaust gas purifying filter may include: an ammonia storage catalyst unit adapted to absorb ammonia contained in the exhaust gas when a temperature of the ammonia storage catalyst unit is lower than a predetermined temperature, release the absorbed ammonia when the temperature of the ammonia storage catalyst unit is higher than or equal to the predetermined temperature, and generate nitrogen oxide from the released ammonia; and a particulate filter adapted to trap particulate matter contained in the exhaust gas and regenerate the trapped particulate matter by using the nitrogen oxide generated from the ammonia storage catalyst unit.

  • Patent number: 8776507
    Abstract: A system for regenerating a particulate filter mounted on an exhaust pipe of a gasoline engine including a plurality of cylinders and an ignition device for igniting fuel and air in the cylinder, a three-way catalyst device mounted on the exhaust pipe connected to the gasoline engine, and to oxidize or reduce exhaust gas, the particulate filter mounted on the exhaust pipe downstream of the three-way catalyst device to trap particulate matter and regenerate the particulate matter using heat of the exhaust gas, a differential pressure sensor mounted upstream and downstream of the particulate filter and to measure a pressure difference of the particulate filter, and a control portion to receive the measured pressure difference and control parameters to determine an amount of non-ignited fuel which is not ignited and flows to the three-way catalyst device among the fuel flowing into the plurality of cylinders.

  • Patent number: 8640446
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purification device may deactivate at least one of cylinders to supply a gasoline particulate filter with sufficient air according to a driving condition of a gasoline engine, and a control method thereof and a control method thereof may include comparing a pressure difference of the gasoline particulate filter with a predetermined value, determining a cylinder that may be to be deactivated when the pressure difference may be larger than the predetermined value, regenerating the gasoline particulate filter by supplying it with air through the deactivated cylinder, determining whether the engine may be in an over-run condition during the regeneration process, and returning to a general driving condition in a case that the engine may be in the over-run condition.
