Abstract
An intake pipe of an evaporated fuel processing device is provided with a throttle valve downstream of a supercharger, and an ejector in parallel to the supercharger. A purge passage is branched into first and second branch passages, which connect to the intake pipe at a position downstream of the throttle valve and to a suction port of the ejector, respectively. In the ejector, its intake port is connected to the intake pipe at a position between the supercharger and the throttle valve, and its exhaust port is connected to the intake pipe at a position upstream of the supercharger. A flow rate of purge gas in the second branch passage is obtained based on at least two of a first pressure downstream of the throttle valve, a second pressure between the supercharger and the throttle valve, and a third pressure upstream of the supercharger.
