Concentration determination device of a cleaning
system (301), wherein the cleaning
system (301) comprises: an SCR catalyst (4) which is arranged in an
exhaust pipe of an
internal combustion engine to clean
NOx in the
exhaust gas of the
internal combustion engine; a
reducing agent supply unit (5; 302), which is provided and is arranged to supply
urea or
ammonia as a
reducing agent to the SCR catalyst (4); an
ammonia sensor (202) which is provided and arranged to detect an
ammonia concentration of the
exhaust gas flowing out of the SCR catalyst (4) as a downstream ammonia concentration; and a
NOx sensor (201) which is provided and arranged to detect a
NOx concentration of the
exhaust gas flowing out of the SCR catalyst (4) as a downstream NOx concentration; wherein the concentration determination device is configured to determine a value of the downstream ammonia concentration based on a detection result of the ammonia sensor (202), characterized in that the concentration determination device comprises: a feed control section (S2, S30; S10, S35) which controls the
reducing agent feed unit (5; 302) to supply the reducing agent to the SCR catalyst in a fuel-
free state in which the supply of fuel to the
combustion engine is stopped; a feed correction section (S50 to S120) which corrects the determined value of the downstream ammonia concentration based on a detection result of the NOx sensor (201) and an
oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas after the feed of the reducing agent to the SCR catalyst (4) with the control of the reducing agent feed unit (5; 302) by the Feed correction section (S2, S30; S10, S35), wherein the concentration determination device converts the detection result of the ammonia sensor (202) into an ammonia concentration value according to an ammonia concentration correction formula which represents a relationship between first and second converted ammonia concentrations, wherein the first converted ammonia concentration is a value calculated according to a relationship formula between the detection result of the ammonia sensor (202) and the ammonia concentration of the exhaust gas, and the second converted ammonia concentration is a value calculated from the NOx sensor (201) detection result and the
oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas, and wherein the concentration determination device determines the ammonia concentration value as the downstream ammonia concentration; and wherein the feed correction section (S2, S30; S10, S35) corrects the determined value of the downstream ammonia concentration by updating the ammonia concentration correction formula, wherein the ammonia concentration correction formula in a two-dimensional coordinate
system, in which the ammonia concentration converted from the
electromotive force is plotted along the x-axis and the ammonia concentration converted from the NOx output is plotted along the y-axis, represents a straight line in the two-dimensional coordinate system among several most recently stored, connects a maximum coordinate point and a minimum coordinate point with the output values obtained from the gas sensor (201, 202).
