  • Patent number: 11964251
    Abstract: Provided is a fuel-reforming device comprising: an ammonia tank (4); a reformer (5) for reforming ammonia and generating high-concentration hydrogen gas having a hydrogen content of at least 99%; a mixing tank (7) for mixing ammonia and hydrogen for temporary storage; and a control means (10) for controlling the respective supply amounts of ammonia and high-concentration hydrogen gas that are supplied to the mixing tank (7). The control means (10) calculates the combustion rate coefficient C of mixed gas with respect to a reference fuel on the basis of equation (1). Equation (1): S0=SH×C+SA×(1?C). In equation (1), S0 is the combustion rate of the reference fuel, SH is the combustion rate of hydrogen, SA is the combustion rate of ammonia, and C is the combustion rate coefficient of mixed gas. In addition, on the basis of equation (2), the control means (10) determines the volume fractions of ammonia and hydrogen that are supplied to the mixing tank. Equation (2): C=1?exp(?A×MB).

  • Patent number: 10912164
    Abstract: A heating device for an exhaust catalyst includes a first antenna and a second antenna. The heating device executes a specific radiation control for controlling operation of an electromagnetic wave generator to set a radiation state of an electromagnetic wave from the first antenna to be a different state from a radiation state of an electromagnetic wave from the second antenna. In such a case, the heating device acquires an intensity of an electromagnetic wave, of electromagnetic waves incident on the first antenna, and acquires an intensity of an electromagnetic wave, of electromagnetic waves incident on the second antenna. The heating device acquires a first temperature-correlated value for the first part based on the first electromagnetic wave intensity, and acquires a second temperature-correlated value for the second part based on the second electromagnetic wave intensity.

  • Patent number: 10871094
    Abstract: An object of the disclosure is to prevent the sensing accuracy of an exhaust gas sensor from being deteriorated by the effect of electromagnetic waves in an exhaust gas purification system for an internal combustion engine that is configured to apply electromagnetic waves to the exhaust gas purification device provided in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine. The disclosure is applied to an exhaust gas purification system for an internal combustion engine including an exhaust gas sensor located within the range of radiation of electromagnetic waves from a radiating device that radiates electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency to an exhaust gas purification device. The system suspends the radiation of electromagnetic waves from the radiating device during a sampling period in which sampling of the output value of the exhaust gas sensor is performed, even when a specific condition for performing the radiation is met.
