A control device of a diesel engine, including an acceleration detector including an acceleration sensor, the acceleration sensor being attached to an engine body that defines a combustion chamber, the acceleration detector configured to output a vibration acceleration, an integrator configured to integrate values corresponding to amplitudes of the vibration acceleration from a predetermined integration start timing that is at least before an ignition timing, a comparison unit configured to compare an integration value of the integrator with a predetermined ignition timing judgment level, and a real ignition timing judgment unit configured to judge a real ignition timing on the basis of a reach timing, at which the integration value has reached the ignition timing judgment level.

Control device of diesel engine and method of controlling diesel engine

In exhaust gas purifying apparatus and method for an internal combustion engine, a degree of a performance deterioration of an NOx trap catalyst is determined on the basis of a detected air-fuel ratio variation time difference, at the performance deterioration determination of the NOx trap catalyst, the degree of the performance deterioration with at least one of correcting factors of a quantity of NOx trapped by means of the NOx trap catalyst, a reducing agent supply quantity by which a reducing agent is supplied to the NOx trap catalyst, and catalyst temperature which is a temperature of the NOx trap catalyst, and at least one of the correcting factors is reflected on the determination of the degree of the performance deterioration of the NOx trap catalyst.

Exhaust gas purifying apparatus and method for internal combustion engine

A diagnosis system of an exhaust aftertreatment apparatus for an internal combustion engine is arranged to execute a first deterioration diagnosis of the exhaust aftertreatment apparatus on the basis of a change of a catalyst downstream side air/fuel ratio relative to a change of a catalyst upstream side air/fuel ratio during a rich spike control and to execute a second deterioration diagnosis from an inversion cycle of a feedback quantity during the feedback control of the catalyst downstream side air/fuel ratio during a stoichiometric control when the first deterioration diagnosis made a deterioration determination.
