Abstract:
PURPOSE:To purify exhaust gas efficiently over a wide operating scope of an engine by connecting the high temperature side passage of a heat exchanger to an exhaust pipe at the upstream side of an adsorption device, and the low temperature side passage of the heat exchanger to an exhaust pipe between the adsorption device and an oxidizing device respectively. CONSTITUTION:When a diesel engine 20 is started, its exhaust gas flows through an exhaust manifold 21, the upstream side of an exhaust pipe 22, the high temperature side passage of a heat exchanger 4, an adsorption device 2, the low temperature side passage of the heat exchanger 4, an-oxidizing device 3, and the downstream side of an exhaust pipe 22 in order. In this case, when the temperature of the exhaust gas is low, the hydrocarbon included in the exhaust gas is collected to a honeycomb carrier 8 of the adsorption device 2. On the other hand, when the temperature of the exhaust gas is made high, the hydrocarbon is removed from the honeycomb carrier 8, accompanied by the exhaust gas, and flows to the low temperature side passage of the heat exchanger 4. And the exhaust gas including the removed hydrocarbon is heated by the new exhaust gas flowing through the high temperature side passage of the heat exchanger 4, and burnt by an oxidizing catalyst carried in a honeycomb carrier 12 of the oxidizing device 3.

PURPOSE:To prevent generation of bad odor in specific operations and burn the adsorbed unburnt fire particles, by causing a controller to control a first opening/closing valve, a second opening/closing valve, and a flow control valve in response to the sensor signals from a first and a second temperature sensor. CONSTITUTION:A bypass pipe passage 17 is connected to exhaust pipe passage 13 positioning at the front and rear sides of a converter 16, and a filter chamber 19, which is filled with fibrous active carbon 18, is provided to the bypass passage 17. Further, a recovering pipe passage 24, which is intended to guide an exhaust gas, having flown out from the filter chamber 19, to an inlet of the converter 16, is provided in a manner that the passage 24 branches from the passage 17. The sensor outputs of first and second temperature sensors 31, 32 are connected to control inputs of a controller 33, the control outputs of which are connected to stepping motors 27 to 30. The exhaust gas is guided to the bypass passage 17 and has unburnt fire particles therein adsorbed by the active carbon 18 in the filter chamber 19. This prevents the generation of bad odor and causes burning of the unburnt fire particles adsorbed.
