EXHAUST GAS CONTROL APPARATUS FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

An exhaust pipe is connected to an intake branch pipe downstream of a throttle valve by an EGR passage. An EGR control valve that controls an EGR gas amount is arranged in the EGR passage. An EGR catalyst is arranged in the EGR passage downstream of the EGR control valve. An ozone supply apparatus is provided which supplies ozone to oxidize and remove particulate matter. An ozone supply end of the ozone supply apparatus is connected to the EGR passage upstream of the EGR catalyst. If an EGR gas supply operation is being performed and an EGR catalyst temperature is within a set temperature range that is set beforehand, an ozone supply operation is performed. If the EGR gas supply operation is not being performed or the EGR catalyst temperature is outside of the set temperature range, the ozone supply operation is prohibited from being performed.
