EXHAUST GAS CONTROL SYSTEM FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
An exhaust gas control system includes an upstream purification device disposed in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine, a downstream purification device disposed in a portion of the exhaust passage downstream from the upstream purification device, a fuel addition valve disposed in a portion of the exhaust passage upstream from the upstream purification device, and a urea addition valve disposed in a portion of the exhaust passage between the upstream purification device and the downstream purification device, and a cooling device. The cooling device is configured such that refrigerant cools the fuel addition valve first and then cools the urea addition valve subsequent to the fuel addition valve.

Engine system
An engine system of the present disclosure includes an engine configured to drive a plurality of pistons by burning a mixture of air and gas, an air supply pipe through which the air supplied to the engine flows, a supercharger configured to compress the air flowing through the air supply pipe, a gas supply pipe through which the gas supplied to the engine flows, and a mixer configured to mix the air that has passed through the supercharger and the gas. The mixer has a venturi tube shape in which a cross-sectional area of a flow path decreases and expands in a flow direction of the air that has passed through the supercharger, and the gas supply pipe is connected to a portion of the mixer where the cross-sectional area of the flow path in the mixer is decreased.
Controller of fan coupling device
A controller of a fan coupling device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires an acceleration parameter and a deviation parameter; a control unit that controls a regulation mechanism; a prediction unit that predicts that hunting occurs in the rotation speed of the fan, when an operating point of the fan expressed with the deviation parameter and the acceleration parameter belongs to a predicted region; and a restraining unit that executes, when the hunting is predicted to occur, a hunting restraining process of executing at least one of lowering an integral gain of a feedback control to be lower than when the hunting is not predicted to occur and increasing a derivative gain of the feedback control to be higher than when the hunting is not predicted to occur.
COOLING CIRCUIT WITH SEVERAL COOLING TEMPERATURES FOR MOTOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SUCH COOLING CIRCUIT
A cooling circuit for a vehicle includes a single cooler, a refrigeration machine, a first heat-generating device, a second heat-generating device, a coolant pump arrangement configured to pump a coolant, a valve arrangement, and an electronic control module. The first heat-generating device requires the coolant at a first coolant temperature level. The second het-generating device requires the coolant at a second coolant temperature level. The valve arrangement is configured to supply the coolant from the first and second heat-generating devices to the refrigeration machine and/or to the single cooler. The electronic control module is designed to control a temperature of the coolant at coolant inlets of the first and second heat-generating devices by varying flow rates of the coolant through the refrigeration machine and/or the single cooler.
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
A hybrid electric vehicle includes: an engine including a turbocharger and an intercooler that cools intake air; a motor; an inverter for driving the motor; a cooling device for cooling the inverter and the intake air by circulating a cooling medium by a circulation pump in a circulation path including a cooling flow path for cooling the inverter and a cooling flow path for the intercooler as a flow path; and a control device for controlling the cooling device. The control device permits forced drive of the circulation pump from an outside when predetermined conditions including a condition that a vehicle speed is equal to or lower than a predetermined vehicle speed and a condition that a vehicle system is turned off are satisfied.
