An after treatment method for a lean-burn engine is disclosed. The after treatment method is configured to control an after treatment system sequentially equipped with an ammonia production catalyst module, a selective catalytic reduction catalyst, and a CO clean-up catalyst on an exhaust pipe through which an exhaust gas flows. In the after treatment method, the engine is operated sequentially at a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio (AFR) and a lean AFR prior to entering a rich AFR.

After treatment system and after treatment method for lean-burn engine

A control method of an engine having a variable valve timing may include selecting one of a first mode and a second mode as a driving mode, retarding an intake cam to a first predetermined angle range in the first mode, and advancing an intake cam to a second predetermined angle range in the second mode.

Engine having continuous variable timing device

An engine having a variable valve timing mechanism may include a camshaft having a cam formed thereon for moving an intake or exhaust valve, a variable rotation unit disposed on the same axis with the camshaft to rotate the camshaft to have a retard angle chamber and an advance angle chamber for controlling a retard angle and an advance angle of the camshaft, a variable valve bolt having a fastening portion for fastening the variable rotation unit to the camshaft, and an oil control valve for making selective supply of hydraulic oil to the retard angle chamber and the advance angle chamber, and a valve controller disposed on an outer side of the variable rotation unit for controlling the oil control valve in the variable valve bolt.

Engine having continuously variable valve timing mechanism

A method of controlling a CVVT may include a) checking whether a predetermined time has passed, after engine starts. b) locking an actuator by driving oil control valve with different driving currents in accordance with whether a predetermined time has passed after the engine starts. c) unlocking the actuator or feed-backing control cam phase in accordance with whether the actuator is unlocked. d) feed-backing control cam phase or locking the actuator by driving oil control valve with predetermined current in accordance with whether control cam phase is not reached before the actuator is locked. e) driving the oil control valve with predetermined current to maintain the control cam phase or turning off the oil control valve, after feed-backing control cam phase or locking the actuator by driving the oil control valve with predetermined current in accordance with whether the control cam phase is not reached before the actuator is locked.
