  • Patent number: 10006389
    Abstract: A supercharged engine includes an emission control device configured to add a reduction agent to exhaust gas from an engine main body to reduce nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas by a catalyst, the supercharged engine including an air release valve configured to discharge a part of supplied air to be supplied from a supercharger to the engine main body through an air feed pipe to the outside of the air feed pipe, and a control device configured to control temperature of the exhaust gas by operating the air release valve and adjusting an amount of supply of the supplied air to be supplied from the supercharger to the engine main body.

  • Patent number: 9976465
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an exhaust purifier which suppresses unnecessary consumption of pressurization air so as to improve a removal rate of dust. An exhaust purifier for removing particulate matter adhered to a NOx catalyst by injecting pressurized air using an air injection nozzle into a housing of a catalyst reactor in which the NOx catalyst serving as a catalyst is positioned, wherein an injection valve of a soot blower supplying pressurized air into the housing of the catalyst reactor is opened and closed based on an exhaust gas flow rate so as to inject the pressurized air.

  • Publication number: 20110138788
    Abstract: It is intend to provide at low cost an exhaust gas purifier capable of in an internal combustion engine or other combustion instrument mainly driven under excess air conditions, efficiently removing nitrogen oxides from exhaust gas. A nitrogen oxide adsorbent (4) is disposed in an exhaust passage, which the nitrogen oxide adsorbent (4) is composed of a lithium composite oxide of the general formula LiAxOy or LiAxPO4, containing as constituent elements lithium (Li) and at least one element (A) selected from the group consisting of manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), titanium (Ti), scandium (Sc), and yttrium (Y). For example, the nitrogen oxide adsorbent (4) is composed of a lithium composite oxide, such as lithium manganate (LiMnO3), the lithium titanate (Li2TiO3) or lithium manganate phosphate (LiMnPO4).
