Abstract
A diagnostic device for an exhaust gas purification system that has a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), a diesel particulate filter, and an exhaust pipe injection device. The device includes a sensor for detecting a temperature of the DOC, a first calculation unit for converting an integration time of the detected temperature between regeneration intervals into a thermal history time with respect to a predetermined set temperature, and calculating a degree of degradation of the DOC based on this thermal history time, a second calculation unit for calculating a quantity of heat generated in the DOC based on the detected temperature during a forced regeneration execution period, and calculating another degree of degradation of the DOC based on the quantity of heat generated; and a diagnosis unit for diagnosing a degradation state of the DOC based on the degrees of degradation entered from the first and second calculation units.
