Abstract

The invention discloses a SOx concentration detection apparatus. The apparatus includes a SOx sensor which outputs the amount of sulfur oxide in the exhausted gas in an internal combustion engine in correspondence as a SOx detection value; and a control unit which, based on the SOx detection value, calculates the SOx concentration of the sulfur oxide in the exhausted gas. The SOx concentration detection apparatus detects water concentration in the exhausted gas. And, the control unit calculates the SOx concentration based on the SOx detection value in a manner that the higher the water concentration in the exhausted gas is, the higher the ratio of the SOx concentration to the SOx detection value is higher when is. Therefore, the concentration of sulfur oxide in the exhausted gas can be accurately and excellently detected when water concentration in the exhausted gas changes.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a SOx concentration detecting device which detects (obtains) the concentration of sulfur oxide (SOx) contained in exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a limiting current type gas sensor is known as an SOx sensor for detecting the concentration of sulfur oxide contained in exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. The limiting current type gas sensor includes an electrochemical cell including a pair of electrodes having a solid electrolyte with oxide ion conductivity and adhering to the surface of the solid electrolyte. One of the pair of electrodes is exposed to the exhaust of the internal combustion engine, which is the gas to be tested introduced through the diffusion resistance body, and the other electrode is exposed to the atmosphere. When the above-mentioned one electrode is used as a cathode and the above-mentioned other electrode is used as an anode, an...
