Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In an internal combustion engine, an exhaust purification catalyst and a hydrocarbon feed valve are arranged in an exhaust passage. When a temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst falls in a first catalyst temperature region (I), a first NO X purification method is performed, while when a temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst falls in a second catalyst temperature region (II), a second NO X purification method is performed. When the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst falls in a region (IIP) in the second catalyst temperature region close to the first catalyst temperature region, the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst is made to increase to shift the region in which the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst falls to the first catalyst temperature region to thereby switch the NO X purification method used from the second NO X purification method to the first NO X purification method.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An exhaust purification system for an internal combustion engine, the exhaust purification system comprising: an engine exhaust passage; an exhaust purification catalyst arranged in the engine exhaust passage; a hydrocarbon feed valve arranged upstream of the exhaust purification catalyst in the engine exhaust passage; a precious metal catalyst that is carried on an exhaust gas flow surface of the exhaust purification catalyst and basic exhaust g…
