Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide an exhaust device for a diesel engine capable of surely burning flammable gas in an exhaust route. In the exhaust device for the diesel engine, liquid fuel (6) is supplied from a liquid-fuel supply source (5) to a gas generator (3). The gas generator (3) converts the liquid fuel (6) to flammable gas (7) and has a flammable-gas flow outlet (9) of the with which an exhaust route (1) is communicated upstream of a diesel-particulate-filter (2). The flammable gas (7) flowed out from the flammable-gas flow outlet (9) is burnt with oxygen in exhaust gas (10) to produce combustion heat. The exhaust gas (10) heated by the thus produced combustion heat can burn the exhaust-gas fine particles remaining at the filter (2). The gas generator (3) is provided with a catalyst chamber (51) which houses a catalyst (4). Catalyst-combustion heat is generated in the catalyst chamber (51) which is arranged along an external periphery of a peripheral wall (1a) of the exhaust route (1).

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide an exhaust-gas processing device for a diesel engine, able to inhibit the deterioration of the fuel-consumption and the output reduction. In order to accomplish the above object, the device is provided with a DPF, a means for presuming the amount of PM to be deposited on the DPF, a DPF-regeneration means, a DPF-regeneration control means, a storing means, a means for sending message to demand an accelerated regeneration, and an operation means for starting the accelerated regeneration. While a normal regeneration processing is being continued (S6) since it has started (S2), the time when a term (T1) for reserving judgment as to the demand for accelerated regeneration has elapsed is taken as the judging time (T3). At this judging time (T3), if the assumed value of the PM deposed amount exceeds a value (J2) for judgment as to the demand for accelerated regeneration, the accelerated regeneration is deemed to be demanded.

Abstract: The present invention provides a multi-cylinder engine capable of inhibiting an EGR cooler from being damaged and at the same time making the EGR cooler compact. On the assumption that a direction where a crank shaft spans is taken as a front and rear direction and a widthwise direction of a cylinder head perpendicular to this front and rear direction is deemed as a lateral direction, an intake-air distributing passage wall is attached to one lateral side surface of the cylinder head and an exhaust-gas converging passage wall ached to the other lateral side of the cylinder head, the exhaust-gas converging passage wall having an interior area communicated with an interior area of the intake-air distributing passage wall through the EGR cooler. In this multi-cylinder engine, an intake-air inlet pipe is made to stand up at an upper portion of the intake air distributing passage wall and the EGR cooler is above the intake-air distributing passage wall.

Abstract: A cylinder block for multi-cylinder engine includes a cooling water passage provided at a head-side portion of a cast metal inter-bore wall. The cooling water passage includes a plurality of vertically adjoining transverse water passages provided in vertical and multiple stages. A connecting wall portion of the cooling water passage includes at least one cast metal connecting wall connecting a front wall portion of the inter-bore wall to a rear half wall portion thereby separating the vertically adjoining transverse water passages from each other. The cooling water passage has its cast metal wall surface which faces a water passage spaced exposed in its entirety as a molded surface.

Abstract: A screen printing plate which includes an ink permeable member through which ink permeates, and an ink blocking material which adheres to the ink permeable member and blocks permeation of ink. The fluid ink blocking material is ejected onto the ink permeable member. Alternatively, the fluid ink blocking material is ejected onto an intermediate transfer member and then transferred onto the ink permeable member. The ink blocking material solidifies on the ink permeable member, thereby forming a pattern of ink blocking material on the ink permeable member. The ink blocking material is preferably ejected using an ink jetting device.

Abstract: A process of molding a cylinder block of a multi-cylinder engine comprises making a jacket core (30) so as to form cylinder jackets (8) of the multi-cylinder engine (E), attaching the jacket core (30) to a cylinder block forming mold (28), and pouring molten metal into the cylinder block forming mold (28). The process makes a water passage forming core (31) of sphered particle sand having a lower expansion coefficient than the common silica sand. The core (31) is intended for forming at a head side portion of an inter-bore wall (4) of the multi-cylinder engine (E), a cooling water passage (10) which communicates the cylinder jackets (8) with a head jacket (22). And prior to pouring the molten metal, the process fixedly attaches the water passage forming core (31) to a position corresponding to the inter-bore wall (4) of the jacket core (30).
