Subject To enable an appropriate operation of an exhaust gas purifying
apparatus which uses urea or the like as a reducing agent, and further,
to enable the stable concentration detection and the stable supply of the
reducing agent during the cold months and also to prevent the generation
of ammonia series gas during the severe hot months.Means for solving the
SubjectAn exhaust gas purifying apparatus in an engine 1 is for supplying
the urea water in a storage tank 20 to a reduction catalyst 3 disposed in
an exhaust system. In this exhaust gas purifying apparatus, a
concentration detecting device 60 is disposed in the storage tank 20, and
the detected concentration of the urea water is adopted as basic
information for the supply control of the reducing agent. Further, a
heating device heating the reducing agent in the storage tank 20 and a
cooling device cooling this reducing agent are disposed, to heat,
preferably, the reducing agent in the vicinity of a detecting section 61
of the concentration detecting device 60 and the reducing agent in the
vicinity of an inlet port 12 of a supply pipe 12.
