Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In an apparatus for controlling supply power to a conductive porous carrier of a catalyst converter for cleaning an emission, a moisture determiner determines whether moisture is contained in and/or on the conductive porous carrier. A power controller controls supply power to the conductive porous carrier for energization of the conductive porous carrier such that a value of the supply power to the conductive porous carrier when it is determined that the moisture is contained in and/or on the conductive porous carrier is lower than a value of the supply power to the conductive porous carrier when it is determined that the moisture is not contained in and/or on the conductive porous carrier.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: a conductive porous carrier of a catalyst converter for cleaning an emission out of an internal combustion engine, the conductive porous carrier carrying a catalyst of the catalyst converter, the conductive porous carrier being energized for warming of the catalyst; and a power supply controller which is operable with the conductive porous carrier and is configured to: determine whether a first condition that a temperature of the…
