Patent number: 9027325Abstract: An ambient NOx adsorption catalyst that can adsorb NOx contained in an exhaust gas in the presence of CO under standard conditions is placed in an engine exhaust gas passage, in an internal combustion engine. Until an engine post-initiation catalyst is activated, the amounts of a high-boiling-point hydrocarbon and an unsaturated hydrocarbon that are contained in the exhaust gas flowing into the catalyst are reduced so that the NOx-adsorbing activity cannot be deteriorated by the adhesion activity of the hydrocarbons while maintaining the CO concentration in the exhaust gas flowing into the catalyst at a level higher than the concentration required for the adsorption of NOx.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2010Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yusuke Nakayama, Yukihiro Sonoda, Takaaki Itou, Takaaki Kanazawa

Patent number: 8468805Abstract: A moisture adsorbent (32) for adsorbing moisture in exhaust gas and an NOx adsorbent (34) for adsorbing NOx are disposed in a bypass passage (30) for bypassing an exhaust passage (16) of an internal combustion engine (10). When an adsorption operation to the NOx adsorbent (34) is executed, inflow of the exhaust gas to the bypass passage (30) is allowed until the moisture amount that flows into the water adsorbent (32) reaches an allowable moisture inflow amount. The allowable moisture inflow amount is determined based on a residual moisture amount before the starting of the adsorption operation in the moisture adsorbent (32). The residual moisture amount in the water adsorbent (32) can be determined based on the temperature of the moisture adsorbent (32) at the immediately preceding execution of the purge operation.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2008Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuhiro Wakao, Takaaki Itou, Keisuke Sano, Kimikazu Yoda

Patent number: 8245497Abstract: The present invention relates to an exhaust emission control device having an NOx adsorbent, and makes it possible to judge whether the performance of the NOx adsorbent is degraded temporarily or permanently. The amounts of NOx and water adsorbed by the NOx adsorbent are measured during an actual operation of an internal combustion engine. A reference line indicating the correlation between a preselected water adsorption amount and NOx adsorption amount is then referenced to determine a reference value y0 of the NOx adsorption amount that corresponds to a measured value x1 of the water adsorption amount. Next, a measured value y1 of the NOx adsorption amount is compared against the reference value y0 to output a signal in which the result of the comparison is reflected.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2008Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kimikazu Yoda, Takaaki Itou, Keisuke Sano, Kazuhiro Wakao
