An exhaust purification system comprising an exhaust purification catalyst, a downstream side air-fuel ratio sensor, and a control device performing air-fuel ratio control for controlling an air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas and abnormality diagnosis control for diagnosing the downstream side air-fuel ratio sensor. In the air-fuel ratio control, the control device alternately and repeatedly switches the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the exhaust purification catalyst between a rich air-fuel ratio and a lean air-fuel ratio. In the abnormality diagnosis control, the control device judges that the downstream side air-fuel ratio sensor has become abnormal when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is made the rich air-fuel ratio by the air-fuel control and the output air-fuel ratio of the downstream side air-fuel ratio sensor changes from an air-fuel ratio richer than a predetermined lean judged air-fuel ratio to an lean air-fuel ratio.

64 Abnormality diagnosis apparatus for exhaust gas purification apparatus US14718374 2015-05-21 US09404405B2 2016-08-02 Yoshitaka Nakamura; Satoshi Endo
The present invention provides an abnormality diagnosis apparatus for an exhaust gas purification apparatus having an SCR catalyst, with which a misdiagnosis of an abnormality in the SCR catalyst even though the SCR catalyst is normal can be suppressed. In the present invention, a NOx purification ratio is determined using an estimated NOx inflow amount as a parameter, and an abnormality in the SCR catalyst is diagnosed on the basis of the NOx purification ratio. According to the present invention, a minimum NH3 adsorption amount is determined as an NH3 adsorption amount of the SCR catalyst in a condition where an actual NOx inflow amount reaches a maximum. When the minimum NH3 adsorption amount equals or exceeds a predetermined amount, a determination is made as to whether or not a NOx purification ability of the SCR catalyst has deteriorated from a normal condition by comparing the NOx purification ratio with a first threshold. When the minimum NH3 adsorption amount is smaller than the predetermined amount, a determination is made as to whether or not the NOx purification ability of the SCR catalyst has been completely lost by comparing the NOx purification ratio with a second threshold that is smaller than the first threshold.

A method of calibration of at least one fuel injector for a fuel burner in an exhaust gas treatment system for an internal combustion engine is provided. The method is adapted for an exhaust gas system having the fuel burner mounted upstream of a diesel particle filter (DPF). The method of calibration is performed during an idle speed of the combustion engine, this to assure a constant temperature of the burner during the calibration.

A first temperature of an exhaust gas is registered directly downstream of the fuel burner. After this first temperature is registered, the pulse width, of the fuel injector changed into a second pulse width, which is different from the first pulse width.

Provided is a device for performing degradation diagnosis of a downstream-side exhaust gas sensor. When a diagnosis condition is met, an intake-air quantity is successively accumulated to obtain an intake-air-quantity accumulation value, an intake-air-quantity average value is obtained as an average of the intake-air quantity from the start of diagnosis, and, on the basis of this intake-air-quantity average value, an intake-air-quantity accumulation threshold value is set.

A method of monitoring a differential pressure sensor of an exhaust gas aftertreatment system includes sensing a learned value (n−1, n, n+1, n+2, etc.) of the differential pressure sensor for each after-run occurrence of the vehicle, and calculating an absolute value of a rate of change between a current (n) learned value of the differential pressure sensor and a previous (n−1) learned value of the differential pressure sensor. The absolute value of the rate of change is compared to a threshold pressure value to determine if the absolute value of the rate of change is greater than the threshold pressure value or is less than the threshold pressure value. A fault in the differential pressure sensor is signaled when the absolute value of the rate of change of the learned values is greater than the threshold pressure value.
