- ammonia hereinafter referred to as NH 3
- SCR is configured to adsorb NH 3, to selectively reduce and purify NOx in exhaust the NH 3 adsorbed as the reducing agent.
- an SCR is arranged downstream of the LNT, and NH 3 produced by the LNT is adsorbed to the SCR under a rich atmosphere to reduce and purify NOx. Techniques to do this are disclosed.
- the NH 3 adsorption capacity of the SCR varies depending on the catalyst temperature or the like. Therefore, if the amount of NH 3 produced by LNT in a rich atmosphere is excessive, there is a possibility of causing NH 3 slip that could not be adsorbed by SCR. Further, in order to prevent NH 3 slip, if the exhaust air-fuel ratio at the time of NH 3 generation (rich atmosphere) is set shallow, the amount of NH 3 adsorbed on the downstream SCR decreases, and the NOx purification rate decreases. May also be incurred.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust purification device and a control method therefor that can effectively suppress NH 3 slip while improving the NOx purification rate.

- a first exhaust temperature sensor 51 is provided at the inlet of the LNT 31, and a NOx sensor 52 and a second exhaust temperature sensor 53 are provided at the outlet of the LNT 31 (inlet of the SCR 32).
- the LNT 31 is formed by supporting a noble metal such as an alkali metal or platinum on the surface of a carrier such as a ceramic honeycomb structure.
- the LNT 31 occludes NOx in the exhaust under a lean atmosphere and releases the occluded NOx under a rich atmosphere. NOx released in a rich atmosphere is reduced and purified by HC and CO in the exhaust. Further, the LNT31, the NH 3 is generated by nitrogen in the exhaust under a rich atmosphere reacts with hydrogen.
- the SCR 32 is formed by supporting zeolite or the like on the surface of a carrier such as a ceramic honeycomb structure.
- the SCR 32 adsorbs NH 3 produced by the LNT 31 in a rich atmosphere, and selectively reduces and purifies NOx from the exhaust gas using the adsorbed NH 3 as a reducing agent in a lean atmosphere.
- the DPF 33 is formed by, for example, arranging a large number of cells partitioned by porous partition walls along the exhaust flow direction and alternately plugging the upstream side and the downstream side of these cells.
- the DPF 33 collects PM in the exhaust gas in the pores and surfaces of the partition walls, and when the amount of accumulated PM reaches a predetermined amount, so-called forced regeneration is performed to remove the PM.

- the ECU 40 includes an NH 3 generation amount estimation unit 41, an NH 3 consumption amount estimation unit 42, an NH 3 adsorption amount estimation unit 43, an NH 3 generation control unit 44, and a deterioration degree calculation.
- the unit 45 and the upper limit adsorption amount correction unit 46 are included as some functional elements. Each of these functional elements will be described as being included in the ECU 40 that is an integral piece of hardware, but any one of these may be provided in separate hardware.
- the NH 3 generation amount estimation unit 41 estimates a cumulative generation amount A 1 of NH 3 generated by the LNT 31 by rich spike control, which will be described in detail later. More specifically, the ECU 40 stores an NH 3 generation amount map shown in FIG. 3 using the air-fuel ratio ⁇ and the LNT temperature created in advance by experiments or the like as parameters. The accumulated NH 3 generation amount A 1 is obtained by reading the NH 3 generation amounts corresponding to the sensor values of the air-fuel ratio sensor 50 and the first exhaust temperature sensor 51 from the NH 3 generation amount map during the execution of the rich spike control, and integrating them. Estimated by
- the NH 3 consumption amount estimation unit 42 estimates the NH 3 consumption amount A 2 consumed by the SCR 32 by reducing and purifying NOx flowing from the LNT 31 to the SCR 32 in a lean atmosphere. More specifically, the ECU 40 stores an NH 3 consumption map shown in FIG. 4 that prescribes the relationship between the NOx inflow to the SCR 32 and the NH 3 consumption, which has been created in advance by experiments or the like.
- the NH 3 consumption A 2 is estimated by reading and integrating a value corresponding to the sensor value (or estimated value) of the NOx sensor 52 from the NH 3 consumption map in a lean atmosphere.
- the NH 3 adsorption amount estimation unit 43 estimates the NH 3 adsorption amount A 3 in the current SCR 32.
- the NH 3 generation control unit 44 executes rich spike control in which the LNT 31 generates NH 3 by intentionally setting the exhaust air-fuel ratio to a rich atmosphere. More specifically, the ECU 40 stores an NH 3 adsorbable amount map that prescribes a relationship between the catalyst temperature of the SCR 32 and the NH 3 adsorption amount, which is created in advance by experiments or the like. This is NH 3 adsorption capacity on map, the upper limit adsorption amount A M1 secured the actual sufficient margin than adsorption capacity A L of SCR32 is set.
- the rich spike control is executed by adjusting the exhaust air-fuel ratio to a deep rich atmosphere so that the NH 3 adsorption amount A 3 falls within the range of the upper limit adsorption amount A M1 or less (A 3 ⁇ A M1 ).
- the rich spike control may be performed using, for example, in-pipe injection by the fuel injection valve 17, post-injection of the engine 10, or the like.
- Deterioration degree calculation unit 45 calculates the deterioration degree D R of LNT31 due to thermal degradation or aging deterioration.
- the deterioration degree D R is, for example, the operating state of the engine 10 (engine speed, accelerator opening, etc.) the ratio of the LNT outlet NOx value detected by the engine outlet NOx value and the NOx sensor 52, which is estimated from the (current It is calculated by dividing the NOx purification rate by the reference purification rate in a normal state (for example, when new).

Description
本発明は、排気浄化装置及び排気浄化装置の制御方法に関し、特に、排気中に含まれる窒素化合物(以下、NOx)の浄化に関する。
The present invention relates to an exhaust purification device and a method for controlling the exhaust purification device, and more particularly to purification of a nitrogen compound (hereinafter referred to as NOx) contained in exhaust gas.
従来、排気中のNOxを還元浄化する触媒として、NOx吸蔵還元触媒(以下、LNT)やNOx選択還元触媒(以下、SCR)等が知られている。LNTは、リーン雰囲気下で排気中のNOxを吸蔵すると共に、リッチ雰囲気下で放出したNOxをHCやCOによって還元浄化させる。このLNTでは、リッチ雰囲気下で排気中の窒素が水素と反応することでアンモニア(以下、NH3)が生成される。SCRは、NH3を吸着すると共に、吸着したNH3を還元剤として排気中のNOxを選択的に還元浄化させる。
Conventionally, as a catalyst for reducing and purifying NOx in exhaust gas, a NOx occlusion reduction catalyst (hereinafter referred to as LNT), a NOx selective reduction catalyst (hereinafter referred to as SCR) and the like are known. The LNT occludes NOx in exhaust under a lean atmosphere, and reduces and purifies NOx released under a rich atmosphere with HC and CO. In this LNT, ammonia (hereinafter referred to as NH 3 ) is generated when nitrogen in the exhaust gas reacts with hydrogen in a rich atmosphere. SCR is configured to adsorb NH 3, to selectively reduce and purify NOx in exhaust the NH 3 adsorbed as the reducing agent.
このようなNOx触媒の特性に着目して、例えば特許文献1には、LNTの下流側にSCRを配置し、リッチ雰囲気下でLNTによって生成されるNH3をSCRに吸着させてNOxを還元浄化する技術が開示されている。
Focusing on the characteristics of such NOx catalyst, for example, in Patent Document 1, an SCR is arranged downstream of the LNT, and NH 3 produced by the LNT is adsorbed to the SCR under a rich atmosphere to reduce and purify NOx. Techniques to do this are disclosed.
ところで、SCRのNH3吸着能力は触媒温度等に応じて変化する。そのため、リッチ雰囲気下でLNTによって生成させるNH3量が過多になると、SCRで吸着しきれなかったNH3のスリップを招く可能性がある。また、NH3スリップを防止するために、NH3生成時(リッチ雰囲気時)の排気空燃比を浅く設定すると、下流側のSCRに吸着されるNH3量が低下して、NOx浄化率の低下を招く可能性もある。
By the way, the NH 3 adsorption capacity of the SCR varies depending on the catalyst temperature or the like. Therefore, if the amount of NH 3 produced by LNT in a rich atmosphere is excessive, there is a possibility of causing NH 3 slip that could not be adsorbed by SCR. Further, in order to prevent NH 3 slip, if the exhaust air-fuel ratio at the time of NH 3 generation (rich atmosphere) is set shallow, the amount of NH 3 adsorbed on the downstream SCR decreases, and the NOx purification rate decreases. May also be incurred.
本発明の目的は、NOx浄化率の向上を図りつつ、NH3スリップを効果的に抑制することができる排気浄化装置及びその制御方法を提供することにある。
An object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust purification device and a control method therefor that can effectively suppress NH 3 slip while improving the NOx purification rate.

Hereinafter, an exhaust emission control device and a control method thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.
図1に示すように、内燃機関(以下、単にエンジン)10には、吸気マニホールド10a及び排気マニホールド10bが設けられている。吸気マニホールド10aには新気を導入する吸気通路11が接続され、排気マニホールド10bには排気を導出する排気通路12が接続されている。また、排気マニホールド10b及び吸気マニホールド10aはEGR通路20で連通され、このEGR通路20にはEGRクーラ21及びEGRバルブ22が設けられている。
As shown in FIG. 1, an internal combustion engine (hereinafter simply referred to as an engine) 10 is provided with an intake manifold 10a and an exhaust manifold 10b. An intake passage 11 for introducing fresh air is connected to the intake manifold 10a, and an exhaust passage 12 for extracting exhaust is connected to the exhaust manifold 10b. Further, the exhaust manifold 10b and the intake manifold 10a communicate with each other through an EGR passage 20, and an EGR cooler 21 and an EGR valve 22 are provided in the EGR passage 20.
吸気通路11には、吸気上流側から順に過給機のコンプレッサ13、インタクーラ14、吸気スロットルバルブ15が設けられている。排気通路12には、排気上流側から順に、過給機のタービン16、燃料噴射弁17、空燃比センサ50、排気後処理装置30が設けられている。
The intake passage 11 is provided with a turbocharger compressor 13, an intercooler 14, and an intake throttle valve 15 in order from the intake upstream side. The exhaust passage 12 is provided with a turbocharger turbine 16, a fuel injection valve 17, an air-fuel ratio sensor 50, and an exhaust aftertreatment device 30 in order from the exhaust upstream side.
排気後処理装置30は、排気上流側から順にLNT31、SCR32、ディーゼル・パティキュレイト・フィルタ(以下、DPF)33を配置して構成されている。また、LNT31の入口部には第1排気温度センサ51が設けられ、LNT31の出口部(SCR32の入口部)にはNOxセンサ52及び第2排気温度センサ53がそれぞれ設けられている。
The exhaust aftertreatment device 30 is configured by arranging an LNT 31, an SCR 32, and a diesel particulate filter (hereinafter referred to as DPF) 33 in order from the exhaust upstream side. A first exhaust temperature sensor 51 is provided at the inlet of the LNT 31, and a NOx sensor 52 and a second exhaust temperature sensor 53 are provided at the outlet of the LNT 31 (inlet of the SCR 32).
LNT31は、例えばセラミックハニカム構造等の担体表面にアルカリ金属や白金等の貴金属を担持して形成されている。このLNT31は、リーン雰囲気下で排気中のNOxを吸蔵すると共に、リッチ雰囲気下では吸蔵したNOxを放出する。リッチ雰囲気下で放出されたNOxは、排気中のHCやCOによって還元浄化される。また、LNT31では、リッチ雰囲気下において排気中の窒素が水素と反応することでNH3が生成される。
The LNT 31 is formed by supporting a noble metal such as an alkali metal or platinum on the surface of a carrier such as a ceramic honeycomb structure. The LNT 31 occludes NOx in the exhaust under a lean atmosphere and releases the occluded NOx under a rich atmosphere. NOx released in a rich atmosphere is reduced and purified by HC and CO in the exhaust. Further, the LNT31, the NH 3 is generated by nitrogen in the exhaust under a rich atmosphere reacts with hydrogen.
SCR32は、例えばセラミックハニカム構造等の担体表面にゼオライト等を担持して形成されている。このSCR32は、リッチ雰囲気下でLNT31により生成されるNH3を吸着すると共に、リーン雰囲気下では吸着したNH3を還元剤として排気中からNOxを選択的に還元浄化する。
The SCR 32 is formed by supporting zeolite or the like on the surface of a carrier such as a ceramic honeycomb structure. The SCR 32 adsorbs NH 3 produced by the LNT 31 in a rich atmosphere, and selectively reduces and purifies NOx from the exhaust gas using the adsorbed NH 3 as a reducing agent in a lean atmosphere.
DPF33は、例えば多孔質性の隔壁で区画された多数のセルを排気流れ方向に沿って配置し、これらセルの上流側と下流側とを交互に目封止して形成されている。DPF33は、排気中のPMを隔壁の細孔や表面に捕集すると共に、PM堆積量が所定量に達すると、これを燃焼除去するいわゆる強制再生が実行される。
The DPF 33 is formed by, for example, arranging a large number of cells partitioned by porous partition walls along the exhaust flow direction and alternately plugging the upstream side and the downstream side of these cells. The DPF 33 collects PM in the exhaust gas in the pores and surfaces of the partition walls, and when the amount of accumulated PM reaches a predetermined amount, so-called forced regeneration is performed to remove the PM.
電子制御ユニット(以下、ECU)40は、エンジン10等の各種制御を行うもので、公知のCPUやROM、RAM、入力ポート、出力ポート等を備えて構成されている。この各種制御を行うために、ECU40には各種センサ類50~55のセンサ値が入力される。
The electronic control unit (hereinafter referred to as ECU) 40 controls the engine 10 and the like, and includes a known CPU, ROM, RAM, input port, output port, and the like. In order to perform these various controls, the sensor values of the various sensors 50 to 55 are input to the ECU 40.
また、ECU40は、図2に示すように、NH3生成量推定部41と、NH3消費量推定部42と、NH3吸着量推定部43と、NH3生成制御部44と、劣化度合演算部45と、上限吸着量補正部46とを一部の機能要素として有する。これら各機能要素は、一体のハードウェアであるECU40に含まれるものとして説明するが、これらのいずれか一部を別体のハードウェアに設けることもできる。
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the ECU 40 includes an NH 3 generation amount estimation unit 41, an NH 3 consumption amount estimation unit 42, an NH 3 adsorption amount estimation unit 43, an NH 3 generation control unit 44, and a deterioration degree calculation. The unit 45 and the upper limit adsorption amount correction unit 46 are included as some functional elements. Each of these functional elements will be described as being included in the ECU 40 that is an integral piece of hardware, but any one of these may be provided in separate hardware.
NH3生成量推定部41は、詳細を後述するリッチスパイク制御によってLNT31で生成されるNH3の累積生成量A1を推定する。より詳しくは、ECU40には、予め実験等により作成した空燃比λとLNT温度とをパラメータとする図3に示すNH3生成量マップが記憶されている。NH3累積生成量A1は、リッチスパイク制御の実行期間中にNH3生成量マップから空燃比センサ50及び第1排気温度センサ51のセンサ値に対応するNH3生成量を読み取って積算することで推定される。
The NH 3 generation amount estimation unit 41 estimates a cumulative generation amount A 1 of NH 3 generated by the LNT 31 by rich spike control, which will be described in detail later. More specifically, the ECU 40 stores an NH 3 generation amount map shown in FIG. 3 using the air-fuel ratio λ and the LNT temperature created in advance by experiments or the like as parameters. The accumulated NH 3 generation amount A 1 is obtained by reading the NH 3 generation amounts corresponding to the sensor values of the air-fuel ratio sensor 50 and the first exhaust temperature sensor 51 from the NH 3 generation amount map during the execution of the rich spike control, and integrating them. Estimated by
NH3消費量推定部42は、リーン雰囲気下でLNT31からSCR32に流入するNOxの還元浄化によってSCR32で消費されるNH3消費量A2を推定する。より詳しくは、ECU40には、予め実験等により作成したSCR32へのNOx流入量とNH3消費量との関係を規定する図4に示すNH3消費量マップが記憶されている。NH3消費量A2は、リーン雰囲気下において、NH3消費量マップからNOxセンサ52のセンサ値(又は、推定値)に対応する値を読み取って積算することで推定される。
The NH 3 consumption amount estimation unit 42 estimates the NH 3 consumption amount A 2 consumed by the SCR 32 by reducing and purifying NOx flowing from the LNT 31 to the SCR 32 in a lean atmosphere. More specifically, the ECU 40 stores an NH 3 consumption map shown in FIG. 4 that prescribes the relationship between the NOx inflow to the SCR 32 and the NH 3 consumption, which has been created in advance by experiments or the like. The NH 3 consumption A 2 is estimated by reading and integrating a value corresponding to the sensor value (or estimated value) of the NOx sensor 52 from the NH 3 consumption map in a lean atmosphere.
NH3吸着量推定部43は、現在のSCR32内のNH3吸着量A3を推定する。このNH3吸着量A3は、NH3生成量推定部41で推定されたNH3累積生成量A1からNH3消費量推定部42で推定されたNH3消費量A2を減算することで得られる(A3=A1-A2)。
The NH 3 adsorption amount estimation unit 43 estimates the NH 3 adsorption amount A 3 in the current SCR 32. The NH 3 adsorption amount A 3 is obtained by subtracting the NH 3 consumption amount A 2 estimated by the NH 3 consumption amount estimation unit 42 from the NH 3 cumulative production amount A 1 estimated by the NH 3 generation amount estimation unit 41. Is obtained (A 3 = A 1 -A 2 ).
NH3生成制御部44は、排気空燃比を意図的にリッチ雰囲気にすることで、LNT31でNH3を生成させるリッチスパイク制御を実行する。より詳しくは、ECU40には、予め実験等により作成したSCR32の触媒温度とNH3吸着量との関係を規定するNH3吸着可能量マップが記憶されている。このNH3吸着可能量マップ上には、SCR32の実際の吸着可能量ALよりも十分なマージンを確保した上限吸着量AM1が設定されている。リッチスパイク制御は、NH3吸着量A3が上限吸着量AM1以下の範囲内で収まるように(A3≦AM1)、排気空燃比を深めなリッチ雰囲気に調整することで実行される。なお、リッチスパイク制御は、例えば、燃料噴射弁17による排気管内噴射や、エンジン10のポスト噴射等を用いて行えばよい。
The NH 3 generation control unit 44 executes rich spike control in which the LNT 31 generates NH 3 by intentionally setting the exhaust air-fuel ratio to a rich atmosphere. More specifically, the ECU 40 stores an NH 3 adsorbable amount map that prescribes a relationship between the catalyst temperature of the SCR 32 and the NH 3 adsorption amount, which is created in advance by experiments or the like. This is NH 3 adsorption capacity on map, the upper limit adsorption amount A M1 secured the actual sufficient margin than adsorption capacity A L of SCR32 is set. The rich spike control is executed by adjusting the exhaust air-fuel ratio to a deep rich atmosphere so that the NH 3 adsorption amount A 3 falls within the range of the upper limit adsorption amount A M1 or less (A 3 ≦ A M1 ). The rich spike control may be performed using, for example, in-pipe injection by the fuel injection valve 17, post-injection of the engine 10, or the like.
劣化度合演算部45は、熱劣化や経年劣化等によるLNT31の劣化度合DRを演算する。この劣化度合DRは、例えば、エンジン10の運転状態(エンジン回転数、アクセル開度等)から推定されるエンジン出口NOx値とNOxセンサ52で検出されるLNT出口NOx値との比(現在のNOx浄化率)を、正常状態(例えば、新品時等)の基準浄化率で除算することで演算される。
Deterioration degree calculation unit 45 calculates the deterioration degree D R of LNT31 due to thermal degradation or aging deterioration. The deterioration degree D R is, for example, the operating state of the engine 10 (engine speed, accelerator opening, etc.) the ratio of the LNT outlet NOx value detected by the engine outlet NOx value and the NOx sensor 52, which is estimated from the (current It is calculated by dividing the NOx purification rate by the reference purification rate in a normal state (for example, when new).
上限吸着量補正部46は、LNT31の劣化度合DRに応じて、図5に示すNH3吸着可能量マップ上の上限吸着量AM1を吸着可能量ALよりも低い範囲内で上方に補正する(図5中のAM2参照)。すなわち、LNT31の劣化が進みNOxスリップ量が増加した場合は、NH3スリップの防止のために確保したマージン量を減らすことで、SCR32のNH3吸着量を増加させるように構成されている。これにより、LNT31が劣化した際は、SCR32によるNOx還元割合が増加され、システム全体のNOx浄化率を効果的に維持することができる。なお、劣化度合DRに応じた補正量は、予め実験等により作成したマップや近似式等から求めればよい。
The upper limit adsorption amount correcting unit 46 in accordance with the deterioration degree D R of LNT31, corrected upwards within a range lower than the adsorption capacity A L limit adsorption amount A M1 on NH 3 adsorption capacity map shown in FIG. 5 (See A M2 in FIG. 5). That is, when the deterioration of the LNT 31 progresses and the NOx slip amount increases, the amount of margin secured for preventing NH 3 slip is reduced to increase the NH 3 adsorption amount of the SCR 32. Thereby, when LNT31 deteriorates, the NOx reduction | restoration rate by SCR32 is increased, and the NOx purification rate of the whole system can be maintained effectively. The correction amount corresponding to the degree of deterioration D R may be obtained from a map or approximate expression created in advance through experiments or the like.
次に、本実施形態に係る排気浄化装置及びその制御方法による作用効果を説明する。
Next, operational effects of the exhaust emission control device and the control method thereof according to the present embodiment will be described.
本実施形態では、リッチスパイク制御によって排気空燃比を意図的にリッチ雰囲気にすることで、LNT31で生成されるNH3を下流側のSCRに吸着させている。そして、リッチスパイク終了後のリーン運転時はLNT31からスリップするNOxをSCR32に吸着させたNH3で還元浄化させている。すなわち、図6(a)に示すように、リッチ雰囲気下においてLNT31で生成されるNH3はSCR32に吸着するためNH3スリップが確実に防止され、さらに、図6(b)に示すように、リーン雰囲気下でLNT31からスリップするNOxはSCR32に吸着させたNH3を還元剤として確実に浄化されるように構成されている。
In the present embodiment, NH 3 produced by the LNT 31 is adsorbed to the downstream SCR by intentionally setting the exhaust air-fuel ratio to a rich atmosphere by rich spike control. During lean operation after the end of rich spike, NOx slipping from the LNT 31 is reduced and purified by NH 3 adsorbed on the SCR 32. That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), NH 3 produced by LNT31 in a rich atmosphere is adsorbed by SCR 32, so that NH 3 slip is reliably prevented. Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), NOx slipping from the LNT 31 in a lean atmosphere is configured to be reliably purified using NH 3 adsorbed on the SCR 32 as a reducing agent.
したがって、本実施形態の排気浄化装置及びその制御方法によれば、NH3スリップを確実に防止しつつ、NOx浄化率を効果的に向上させることができる。また、NH3スリップやHCスリップの防止に酸化触媒等を用いる場合に比べて、貴金属を使用しないSCR32を用いることで、装置全体のコストを効果的に抑えることもできる。また、LNT31のNOx浄化率が熱劣化や経年劣化等によって低下した場合は、SCR32へのNH3吸着量を増加させるため、システム全体としてのNOx浄化率を効果的に維持することができる。その結果、LNT31の使用可能期間を延ばすこが可能となり、システム全体の耐久性及びメンテナンス性の向上を図ることができる。
Therefore, according to the exhaust purification device and the control method thereof of the present embodiment, it is possible to effectively improve the NOx purification rate while reliably preventing NH 3 slip. In addition, the cost of the entire apparatus can be effectively reduced by using the SCR 32 that does not use a noble metal as compared with the case where an oxidation catalyst or the like is used to prevent NH 3 slip or HC slip. Further, when the NOx purification rate of the LNT 31 is reduced due to thermal degradation, aging degradation, or the like, the amount of NH 3 adsorbed on the SCR 32 is increased, so that the NOx purification rate of the entire system can be effectively maintained. As a result, the usable period of the LNT 31 can be extended, and the durability and maintainability of the entire system can be improved.
なお、本発明は、上述の実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で、適宜変形して実施することが可能である。
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately modified and implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
例えば、SCR32及びDPF33は別体に設ける必要はなく、図7に示すように、SCRをDPF担体にコートしたSCRF34として一体に設けることも可能である。このように構成することで、装置全体の省スペース化を図ることができる。
For example, the SCR 32 and the DPF 33 do not need to be provided separately, and as shown in FIG. With this configuration, it is possible to save the space of the entire apparatus.
