REDUCE COLD START INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE GASEOUS POLLUTANTS EMISSIONS USING ADSORBENTS IN A CARTRIDGE IN A BYPASS EXHAUST LINE
A system that may include an exhaust gas source that provides exhaust gas pollutants, a primary catalytic converter coupled downstream of the exhaust gas source, and an adsorption unit, configured to adsorb exhaust gas pollutants. The adsorption unit may be coupled downstream of the exhaust gas source. A process that may include introducing exhaust gas comprising exhaust gas pollutants into a system that includes an adsorption unit, such that the exhaust gas may flow through the adsorption unit and the exhaust gas pollutants may be adsorbed into an adsorption media in the adsorption unit as adsorbed exhaust gas pollutants. A depleted exhaust gas may pass from the adsorption unit.
EXHAUST GAS CONTROL SYSTEM FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
An exhaust gas control apparatus has an exhaust gas control element other than an SCR catalyst. A temperature increase treatment unit executes temperature increase treatment that increases temperature of exhaust gas flowing into the exhaust gas control apparatus so as to increase the temperature of the exhaust gas control element to a specified target temperature. In this case, when operation of the internal combustion engine is stopped while the temperature increase treatment unit is not executing the temperature increase treatment, addition of an additive to the SCR catalyst from an addition valve is executed after operation stop of the internal combustion engine. When operation of the internal combustion engine is stopped while the temperature increase treatment unit is executing the temperature increase treatment, addition of the additive to the SCR catalyst from the addition valve is not executed after operation stop of the internal combustion engine.
