  • Patent number: 12146433
    Abstract: A controller for a hydrogen engine controls a hydrogen engine including a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device installed in an exhaust passage and a urea addition valve that adds urea to exhaust gas flowing through a portion of the exhaust passage upstream of the SCR device. Processing circuitry of the controller executes a reduction process that causes a urea addition amount of the urea addition valve to be smaller when a urea deposition amount of the SCR device is greater than or equal to a prescribed value than when the urea deposition amount is less than the prescribed value. The processing circuitry executes a lean-burn limiting process that sets an air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture to be burned in the hydrogen engine to a value less than or equal to a prescribed lean-burn limiting value while the reduction process is reducing the urea addition amount.

  • Publication number: 20240337226
    Abstract: A controller for a hydrogen engine that includes an in-cylinder pressure sensor and an air-fuel ratio sensor includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to execute a process that calculates a fluctuation amount of a combustion pressure based on an output of the in-cylinder pressure sensor and a process that calculates a correction amount based on the fluctuation amount. The correction amount is used to correct a rich deviation of an output of the air-fuel ratio sensor due to unburned hydrogen in exhaust gas.

  • Patent number: 12071908
    Abstract: An upstream integrated value is an integrated value of a difference obtained by subtracting an upstream gas temperature at a starting point in time of integration from the upstream gas temperature after starting of the internal combustion engine. A downstream integrated value is an integrated value of a difference obtained by subtracting a downstream gas temperature at the starting point in time of the integration from the downstream gas temperature after the starting of the internal combustion engine. An anomaly diagnosing process obtains an anomaly determination result indicating that the exhaust purification device is in a removed state when a deviation between the upstream integrated value and the downstream integrated value is smaller than a reference level. The determination threshold is higher than a dew point.
