  • Patent number: 11441511
    Abstract: An engine controller controlling an engine including an occlusion reduction catalyst in an exhaust device includes a fuel injection controller that controls a fuel injection amount of an injector, an EGR controller that controls an EGR device, a sulfur purge determiner that determines whether sulfur purging of the catalyst is to be performed, and a sulfur purge controller that executes sulfur purge control if the sulfur purging is performed. The sulfur purge control involves performing a fuel injection to achieve a rich air-fuel ratio at an inlet of the catalyst and prohibiting the exhaust-gas introduction. The sulfur purge controller executes sulfur-purge standby control when a sulfur-purge standby condition is satisfied, and resumes the sulfur purge control when the condition becomes non-satisfied after starting the sulfur-purge standby control.

  • Patent number: 11313279
    Abstract: An entire scroll is effectively cooled. A scroll of an embodiment leads combustion gas to a turbine stage as a working medium for driving a turbine rotor in a gas turbine facility, and includes a scroll inner cylinder and a scroll outer cylinder. The working medium flows into the scroll inner cylinder. The scroll outer cylinder is provided to cover the scroll inner cylinder with a scroll cooling flow path therebetween where a cooling medium with a temperature lower than the working medium is supplied. The scroll cooling flow path includes an inner ring side flow path part located inside than the scroll inner cylinder in a radial direction of the turbine rotor and an outer ring side flow path part located outside than the scroll inner cylinder in the radial direction of the turbine rotor. Here, a dividing part dividing the outer ring side flow path part in an axial direction along a rotation axis of the turbine rotor is provided at the scroll inner cylinder.
