Diesel engine
An object is to provide a diesel engine ( 2 ) capable of reliably preventing an excessive rise in temperature inside a particulate filter ( 10 ) and capable of rapidly enabling driving in a low-rotation and low-load area when there is no possibility of excessive rise in temperature. A diesel engine ( 2 ) includes a diesel engine ( 2 ) exhaust emission purifier ( 1 ). The diesel engine ( 2 ) exhaust emission purifier ( 1 ) includes a particulate filter ( 10 ) and a controller ( 21 ) for forcibly removing a particulate accumulable in the particulate filter ( 10 ). The controller ( 21 ) is configured to prohibit the diesel engine ( 2 ) from entering a predetermined low-rotation and low-load area if a load rotation changes when the particulate filter ( 10 ) has a temperature that is equal to or higher than a first predetermined temperature T 1 and when the particulate is accumulated in an amount that is equal to or more than a predetermined amount.
1. A diesel engine comprising:
a diesel-engine exhaust emission purifier comprising:
a particulate filter; and
a controller configured to:
forcibly remove a particulate accumulable in the particulate filter to regenerate the particulate filter, and
prohibit the diesel engine from entering a predetermined low-rotation and low-load area if a load rotation changes when the particulate filter has a temperature that is equal to or higher than a predetermined regulation temperature and when the particulate is accumulated in an amount that is equal to or more than a predetermined amount; and
notifying means for notifying an operator that entering the low-rotation and low-load area is prohibited.
2. The diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to release control of prohibiting entrance of the low-rotation and low-load area when the temperature of the particulate filter drops to a temperature that is equal to or lower than a predetermined release temperature.
3. The diesel engine according to claim 1 , further comprising a fuel injection valve or a throttle valve, and
wherein the controller is configured to forcibly remove the particulate by operating the fuel injection valve or the throttle valve.
4. The diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to prohibit the diesel engine from entering the predetermined low-rotation and low-load area only when the temperature of the particulate filter is equal to or higher than the predetermined regulation temperature and is equal to or higher than the predetermined regulation temperature continuously for equal to or longer than a predetermined period of time if the load rotation changes.
5. The diesel engine according to claim 4 , wherein the controller is configured to release the control of prohibiting entrance of the low-rotation and low-load area when the temperature of the particulate filter continues to drop for a predetermined period of time.
6. The diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to prohibit the diesel engine from entering the predetermined low-rotation and low-load area only when the temperature of the particulate filter is equal to or higher than the predetermined regulation temperature and when a temperature integral value for a predetermined period of time exceeds a predetermined value if the load rotation changes.
7. The diesel engine according to claim 6 , wherein the controller is configured to release control of prohibiting entrance of the low-rotation and low-load area when the temperature of the particulate filter drops by equal to or more than a predetermined temperature from a maximum temperature to which the temperature of the particulate filter has reached.
8. The diesel engine according to claim 6 , wherein the controller is configured to release control of prohibiting entrance of the low-rotation and low-load area when the temperature of the particulate filter drops by a predetermined value of temperature from a temperature of the particulate filter at a time of starting the control of prohibiting entrance of the low-rotation and low-load area.
