Abstract

An engine is provided with an exhaust gas treatment device which treats exhaust gas. The exhaust gas treatment device is provided with electric parts which detect a state of the exhaust gas purification device. The engine is provided with a cooling water circulation mechanism which circulates cooling water for the engine. Further, the electric parts are arranged in an outer side of the exhaust gas purification device on an extension in a longitudinal direction of the exhaust gas purification device.

Claims (16)

1. An engine device comprising:

an engine;

an exhaust gas purification device positioned adjacent to the engine for purifying exhaust gas from the engine, the exhaust gas purification device comprising a first end surface and a second end surface at opposite longitudinal ends of the exhaust gas purification device;

a temperature sensor attached to the exhaust gas purification device;

electric parts which detect a state of the exhaust gas purification device and which comprise a differential pressure sensor and a wiring connector which is electrically connected to the temperature sensor, wherein at least portions of the electric parts are spaced from the exhaust gas purification device on an extension which partially extends along a longitudinal direction of the exhaust gas purification device, and the at least portions of the electric parts intersect a plane defined by the first end surface or the second end surface;

an exhaust manifold connected to the exhaust gas purification device, wherein the exhaust manifold is provided on a first side surface of the engine device;

an exhaust gas introduction portion connecting the exhaust gas purification device and the exhaust manifold;

an exhaust gas purification case comprising a case outer surface defined by the first end surface and the second end surface, wherein the at least portions of the electric parts are arranged at a position which is outside the case outer surface, and wherein the at least portions of the electric parts are farther from the engine than the case outer surface;

a flange on the exhaust gas purification case; and

a wiring having an intermediate portion fixed to the flange, wherein the wiring connects the temperature sensor and the wiring connector.

2. The engine device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a cooling fan provided on a first side surface of the engine,

an output shaft, and

a cylinder head,

wherein an end of the output shaft is present on the first side surface of the engine, the exhaust gas purification device is supported on the cylinder head in an upper surface side of the engine, and a distance between the exhaust gas purification device and the cooling fan is less than a distance between the exhaust gas purification device and the output shaft.

3. The engine device according to claim 1 , wherein the exhaust gas purification device comprises a diesel oxidation catalyst and/or a soot filter.
