Patent ID: 8601797

Claim:
An exhaust device for a diesel vehicle comprising: a diesel fuel catalyst provided downstream of a turbocharger; a hydrocarbon Selective Catalyst Reduction (HC-SCR) catalyst provided downstream of the diesel fuel catalyst; a catalyst-coated diesel particulate filter provided downstream of the HC-SCR catalyst; and a secondary fuel injector provided on an exhaust gas pipe between the turbocharger and the diesel fuel catalyst; a nitrogen oxide sensor provided downstream of the catalyst-coated diesel particulate filter, wherein the nitrogen oxide sensor detects an amount of nitrogen oxides in an exhaust gas; and an electronic control unit configured to respond to a signal applied from the nitrogen oxide sensor and output a control signal, which enables the secondary fuel injector to inject a specific amount of fuel where an amount of nitrogen oxides exceeding a reference amount is detected in the exhaust gas, wherein the amount of nitrogen oxides is determined to exceed a reference amount in a case that a ratio of hydrocarbon to nitrogen oxide is below 5:1; wherein fuel, injected by the secondary fuel injector, is decomposed into oxygen-containing hydrocarbon by the diesel fuel catalyst, and is then supplied to the hydrocarbon SCR catalyst, thereby purifying nitrogen oxides; after oxygen-containing hydrocarbon reacting with the HC-SCR catalyst, a remaining amount of oxygen-containing hydrocarbon reacting with soot, trapped in the CC-DPF downstream of the HC-SCR catalyst, thereby oxidizing the soot.
