Abstract

An exhaust gas purification device includes a diesel particulate filter (DPF) that collects particulate matter (PM) from an exhaust gas, a urea water spray unit that sprays urea water into the exhaust gas, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device that reduces and purifies NOx of the exhaust gas, a capacitance detecting unit that detects capacitance of the DPF, a PM accumulation calculating unit that calculates an amount of accumulated PM on the basis of the capacitance, an NO2 consumption estimating unit that calculates an amount of consumed NO2 on the basis of the amount of accumulated PM, and a control unit that controls an engine such that a ratio of NO to NO2 flowing into the SCR approaches 1:1 on the basis of the estimated consumption.
