Abstract
Provided is an engine system including: a bypass pipe (bypass flow passage) connecting an upstream side and a downstream side of the turbine on an exhaust flow passage; a bypass valve configured to open and close the bypass flow passage; and a catalytic activation controller configured to control the bypass valve and a compression ratio of a combustion chamber.
Claims7
An engine system, comprising:
- a combustion chamber to which an intake flow passage and an exhaust flow passage are connected;
- an exhaust gas purification catalyst provided to the exhaust flow passage;
- a turbocharger including:
- a turbine arranged on the exhaust flow passage;
- and
- a compressor arranged on the intake flow passage;
- a bypass flow passage for connecting an upstream side and a downstream side of the turbine on the exhaust flow passage;
- a bypass valve configured to open and close the bypass flow passage;
- a detector configured to detect a temperature of the exhaust gas purification catalyst, and
- a controller configured to control the bypass valve and a compression ratio of the combustion chamber,
- wherein, when the temperature of the exhaust gas purification catalyst is smaller than a first threshold value, the controller controls the bypass valve to an open state and controls the compression ratio to a high compression ratio larger than a minimum compression ratio, and
- when the temperature of the exhaust gas purification catalyst is equal to or larger than the first threshold value, the controller controls the bypass valve to a closed state and maintains the high compression ratio.
