Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An exhaust gas control apparatus ( 100 ) of an internal combustion engine ( 200 ) of a vehicle, which is provided with: the internal combustion engine which can use fuel containing methane in exhaust gas; an exhaust gas purifying apparatus ( 300 ) disposed in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine; an EGR passage ( 400 ) which can recirculate the exhaust gas to an intake passage of the internal combustion engine, in a HPL path which does not include the exhaust gas purifying apparatus; and an adjusting device ( 407 ) which can adjust an exhaust gas recirculation amount in the EGR passage, is provided with: a first specifying device for specifying a methane concentration in the exhaust gas; and a first controlling device for controlling the adjusting device to increase an exhaust gas recirculation amount in the HPL path if the specified methane concentration is greater than or equal to a reference value.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An exhaust system of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, the internal combustion engine using a fuel, the fuel including at least one of a fuel containing methane and a fuel when burned producing methane in exhaust gas, the exhaust system comprising: an exhaust gas purifier disposed in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine; an EGR passage which recirculates the exhaust gas to an intake passage of the internal combustion engine,…
