  • Patent number: 8915067
    Abstract: Provided is a diesel engine which can efficiently regenerate a diesel particulate filter. The control for regeneration using an ECU includes a first regeneration by burning particulate matter at slightly more than 300° C. for 20 minutes when the accumulation of particulate matter exceeds a first threshold; a second regeneration by burning particulate matter at approximately 560° C. for 30 minutes by an additional injection to remove particulate matter other than ash when the accumulation of particulate matter exceeds the first threshold for a first predetermined period of time, or every 100 hours; and a third regeneration by burning particulate matter at approximately 600° C. for 15 minutes by an additional injection to remove particulate matter other than ash when the accumulation of particulate matter exceeds a second threshold and an emergency regeneration switch is pushed, or after 50 hours since the second or third regeneration and the emergency regeneration switch is pushed.

  • Patent number: 8893479
    Abstract: In order to relief a sudden change of engine sound during the transition to recovery control of a particulate removing filter or during returning from the recovery control, a system of treating exhaust gas of an engine includes an exhaust-gas particulate removing filter in an exhaust path, closes down the opening of an inlet throttle valve or an exhaust throttle valve to a recovery opening smaller than a normal opening during recovery of the particulate removing filter, and returns the opening from the recovery opening to the normal opening after the recovery of the particulate removing filter. The opening of the inlet throttle valve or the exhaust throttle valve during the closing process from the normal opening to the recovery opening and during the returning process from the recovery opening to the normal opening is changed at a gradually decreasing or gradually increasing rate of change of the opening.

  • Patent number: 8801822
    Abstract: An exhaust gas aftertreatment system for an engine can perform manual regeneration control for regenerating a particulate removal filter by increasing the engine rotation speed. The system can suppress the engine rotation speed increase while maintaining the exhaust gas temperature required to regenerate the particulate removal filter. The system can set the target engine rotation speed to a first set value when a regeneration instruction signal from a manual regeneration switch is received. When, although the engine rotation speed falls within a predetermined engine rotation speed range including the first set value that is the target engine rotation speed for a predetermined time period, the exhaust gas temperature does not reach the filter's regeneration temperature within the predetermined time period, the target engine rotation speed is repeatedly reset by being increased from the first set value by a predetermined rotation speed.

  • Patent number: 8660774
    Abstract: An engine governor calculates the amount of fuel supplied to an engine based on the difference in speed between the target engine speed (Nset) and actual engine speed (Nact). The amount of fuel supplied to the engine is adjusted based on the calculation results. When the difference in speed between the target engine speed (Nset) and low idle engine speed (Nlow) is equal to or less than a first predetermined speed, the difference in speed between the actual engine speed (Nact) and target engine speed (Nset) is equal to or greater than a second predetermined speed, and the calculation results are equal to or less than the minimum value of the actual engine speed (Nact), the P gain is set at a value equal to or greater than the normal value, and in cases where the I component is a negative value, the I component is set to zero.
