Abstract

In order to relief a sudden change of engine sound during the transition to recovery control of a particulate removing filter or during returning from the recovery control, a system of treating exhaust gas of an engine includes an exhaust-gas particulate removing filter in an exhaust path, closes down the opening of an inlet throttle valve or an exhaust throttle valve to a recovery opening smaller than a normal opening during recovery of the particulate removing filter, and returns the opening from the recovery opening to the normal opening after the recovery of the particulate removing filter. The opening of the inlet throttle valve or the exhaust throttle valve during the closing process from the normal opening to the recovery opening and during the returning process from the recovery opening to the normal opening is changed at a gradually decreasing or gradually increasing rate of change of the opening.

Claims (6)

1. An exhaust gas processing system for an engine in which a particulate removing filter for exhaust gas is provided in an exhaust passage, and in a case of regeneration of the particulate removing filter, an intake throttle valve or an exhaust throttle valve is throttled to a regeneration opening smaller than a normal opening and the valve is returned from the regeneration opening to the normal opening after regenerating the particulate removing filter, and the opening of the intake throttle valve or the exhaust throttle valve in a throttle process from the normal opening to the regeneration opening and a return process from the regeneration opening to the normal opening is changed with an opening change rate which is the time change rate of the opening decreasing or increasing gradually, characterized in that

the intake throttle valve or the exhaust throttle valve set at the regeneration opening is returned to the normal opening when acceleration request or loading request is inputted while the regeneration control of the particulate removing filter is performed,

wherein the intake throttle valve or the exhaust throttle valve is throttled to regeneration opening again when the acceleration request or the loading request is canceled,

the opening change rate is set to a normal opening change rate or a transient opening change rate larger than the normal opening change rate, and

the opening change rate at the throttle process and the return process of the intake throttle valve or the exhaust throttle valve is switched from the normal opening change rate to the transient opening change rate in a period after starting the regeneration control of the particulate removing filter from initial input of the acceleration request or the loading request to end of the regeneration control.

2. The exhaust gas processing system for the engine according to claim 1 , wherein the opening change rate is switched from the normal opening change rate to the transient opening change rate when the opening of the intake throttle valve or the exhaust throttle valve with the transient opening change rate exceeds that with the normal opening change rate.
