    摘要: An intake control method for an internal combustion engine equipped with a low-pressure EGR system includes setting a target intake pressure, which is a target value of an intake pressure in an intake passage between a negative pressure generating valve and an intake throttle valve, necessary for performing EGR control in a state of an exhaust pressure determined for each operating point, setting a target total opening area, which is a sum of a target opening area of an EGR valve and a target opening area of the negative pressure generating valve, on the basis of the target intake pressure, a target fresh air amount, and a target EGR gas amount, setting a target EGR valve opening area, which is an opening area of the EGR valve for achieving the target EGR gas amount, assuming that the negative pressure generating valve is fully open, and setting a value obtained by subtracting the target EGR valve opening area from the target total opening area to be a target negative pressure generating valve opening area, which is a target value of an opening area of the negative pressure generating valve.

    摘要: A catalytic converter is provided with: an inlet-side diffuser part; an outlet-side diffuser part; a case including an upstream-side cylindrical part and a downstream-side cylindrical part; an inner liner provided in the upstream-side cylindrical part; a first catalyst retained inside the inner liner; and a second catalyst retained inside the downstream-side cylindrical part. An end face of the second catalyst faces a peripheral surface of the inner liner. An annular flow path is provided between the upstream-side cylindrical part and the inner liner, and the first catalyst is insulated from heat by the annular flow path. A part of exhaust flows into the second catalyst via the annular flow path.

    摘要: A basic opening (A0) of an EGR control valve (22) is set, based on a current engine operation state. A differential pressure (ΔP1) across the EGR control valve (22) is calculated, based on an actual exhaust system temperature (T1) sensed by an exhaust temperature sensor (33). A reference differential pressure (ΔP0) is calculated, which is a differential pressure across the EGR control valve (22) in a steady state corresponding to the current engine operation state. A reference pulsation amplitude (D) is calculated, which is an amplitude of pulsation of the reference differential pressure (ΔP0). The basic opening (A0) is corrected, based on the differential pressure (ΔP1), the reference differential pressure (ΔP0), and the reference pulsation amplitude (D).

    摘要: An internal combustion engine includes an intake passage of the internal combustion engine, an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine, an EGR passage connecting the intake passage and the exhaust passage. The internal combustion engine further includes a throttle valve provided downstream of a connected part to the EGR passage in the intake passage, and configured to control a quantity of intake air flowing into the internal combustion engine, and an intake throttle valve provided upstream of the connected part to the EGR passage in the intake passage. A control device controls the internal combustion engine, in which device an opening degree of the intake throttle valve is determined on the basis of an intake air quantity.

    摘要: A vehicle cooling device includes a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger is a water-cooled intercooler that is configured to cool supercharged intake air. The second heat exchanger is a water-cooled EGR gas cooler that is configured to cool EGR gas. The first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are arranged in series on a cooling water circuit such that cooling water flowing out of the first heat exchanger flows into the second heat exchanger. The second heat exchanger is arranged in a position relatively lower than a height position of the first heat exchanger when the cooling device has been installed in a vehicle. Due to this height difference, the cooling water in the second heat exchanger has high pressure, and boiling of the cooling water is suppressed.
