Abstract

See full text

Starting an internal combustion engine may be difficult as a consequence of the operating conditions of the engine. Even after the engine has started, it may take a long period of time for the engine to reach operating temperatures. In the present disclosure, starting difficulty is expected for an engine with an exhaust gas recirculation system, before starting the engine an exhaust gas aftertreatment device is heated to warm residual air within the exhaust gas system.
