Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein System zum Schutz eines Katalysators im Abgassystem einer Brennkraftmaschine vor Übertemperatur gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The The invention relates to a system for protecting a catalyst in the exhaust system an internal combustion engine before overtemperature according to the generic term of claim 1.
Zur Umwandlung der in den Abgasen einer Brennkraftmaschine enthaltenen Schadstoffe in weniger schädliche Stoffe ist bei modernen Brennkraftmaschinen im Abgassystem ein Katalysator vorgesehen. Wenn die Temperatur des Katalysators oberhalb der Mindestbetriebstemperatur liegt, beschleunigt der Katalysator die chemischen Reaktionen zwischen einzelnen Abgasbestandteilen, und zwar insbesondere solche Reaktionen, die zu einer Umwandlung in weniger schädliche Stoffe wie beispielsweise Wasser und Kohlendioxyd führen. Der Katalysator wird in der Regel durch die Abgase der Brennkraftmaschine und durch die exothermen Reaktionen zwischen einzelnen Bestandteilen dieser Abgase aufgeheizt. Um den Katalysator beispielsweise nach dem Starten der Brennkraftmaschine möglichst schnell auf seine Betriebstemperatur aufzuheizen, bietet sich ein Einbau des Katalysators möglichst weit stromaufwärts im Abgassystem an, das heißt an einer Stelle, an der die Abgastemperatur sehr hoch ist. Andererseits muß aber sichergestellt sein, daß die maximal zulässige Temperatur des Katalysators nicht überschritten wird, da der Katalysator sonst beschädigt oder gar völlig zerstört wird. Das Risiko der Überschreitung der maximal zulässigen Katalysatortemperatur ist aber umso größer, je weiter stromauf der Katalysator im Abgassystem eingebaut wird. Der Einbauort muss also in der Regel im Hinblick auf eine möglichst schnelle Aufheizung des Katalysators und einen ausreichenden Schutz vor Übertemperatur optimiert werden. Da bei diesem Optimierungsverfahren der ungünstigste Fall im Hinblick auf eine mögliche Überschreitung der maximal zulässigen Temperatur einkalkuliert werden muss, müssen zwangsläufig Abstriche bei der erreichbaren Aufheizzeit des Katalysators gemacht werden oder es müssen anderweitig Vorkehrungen zum Schutz des Katalysators vor Übertemperatur getroffen werden.to Conversion of contained in the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine Pollutants in less harmful Substance is a catalyst in modern internal combustion engines in the exhaust system intended. When the temperature of the catalyst is above the minimum operating temperature the catalyst accelerates the chemical reactions between individual exhaust components, in particular such reactions, which translates into less harmful substances such as water and carbon dioxide lead. The catalyst is usually due to the exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine and by the exothermic reactions between individual components heated up this exhaust. For example, to the catalyst starting the internal combustion engine as quickly as possible to its operating temperature to heat up, a possible installation of the catalyst far upstream in the exhaust system, that is at a point where the exhaust gas temperature is very high. on the other hand it has to be sure that the maximum permissible Temperature of the catalyst is not exceeded because the catalyst otherwise damaged or even completely destroyed becomes. The risk of overrun the maximum allowed Catalyst temperature is but the greater, the further upstream of the catalyst installed in the exhaust system. The installation site must therefore usually with regard to a possible rapid heating of the catalyst and adequate protection before overtemperature be optimized. As in this optimization method the least favorable Case with regard to possible overshoot the maximum allowed Temperature must be taken into account, inevitably smears be made at the achievable heating time of the catalyst or it has to otherwise provisions to protect the catalyst from overheating to be hit.

Durch die Steuerung der Teilströme mittels einer Klappe ist es somit möglich, den Katalysator unter allen Betriebsbedingungen auf einer optimalen Betriebstemperatur zu halten.By the control of the partial flows by means of a flap, it is thus possible, the catalyst under all operating conditions at an optimal operating temperature to keep.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Katalysator im Abgassystem einer Brennkraftmaschine optimal zu schützen.Of the Invention is based on the object, the catalyst in the exhaust system to optimally protect an internal combustion engine.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 und die nachfolgend beschriebenen vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen gelöst.These The object is achieved by those in claim 1 and those described below advantageous embodiments and developments solved.
Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of invention
Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, dass sie einen optimalen Schutz des Katalysators im Abgassystem einer Brennkraftmaschine bietet und trotzdem eine sehr kurze Aufheizzeit des Katalysators möglich ist.The Invention has the advantage that it provides optimum protection of the catalyst offers in the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine and still a very short heating of the catalyst is possible.
Beim erfindungsgemäßen Schutzsystem ist abhängig vom Betriebszustand der Brennkraftmaschine und/oder von Umgebungsbedingungen eine maximal zulässige Katalysatortemperatur vorgebbar und es ist eine tatsächliche Katalysatortemperatur ermittelbar. Abhängig von der maximal zulässigen Katalysatortemperatur und der tatsächlichen Katalysatortemperatur können Maßnahmen zur Kühlung des Katalysators getroffen werden. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß sowohl der tatsächliche Zustand des Katalysators als auch die Wirksamkeit von ggf. zu treffenden Maßnahmen berücksichtigt werden und somit ein sehr zuverlässiges und effizientes Schutzsystem zur Verfügung steht. Je nach Kühlbedarf des Katalysators und nach Kühlpotential der einzelnen Maßnahmen wird entschieden, welche Maßnahme zur Anwendung kommt. Damit wird die Katalysatortemperatur durch die gestaffelten Maßnahmen geregelt. Eine Kontrolle der eingesetzten Maßnahmen ist durch die erreichte Katalysatortemperatur und ggf. Vergleich mit Referenzwerten oder Vergleich der Auswirkungen der einzelnen Maßnahmen auf die Katalysatortemperatur möglich. Das erfindungsgemäße System diagnostiziert damit die Wirksamkeit der einzelnen Maßnahmen selbständig.In the protection system according to the invention, depending on the operating state of the internal combustion engine and / or environmental conditions, a maximum permissible catalyst temperature can be predetermined and an actual catalyst temperature can be determined. Depending on the maximum allowable catalyst temperature and the actual catalyst temperature, measures may be taken to cool the catalyst. This has the advantage that both the actual state of the catalyst and the effectiveness of any measures to be taken are taken into account and thus a very reliable and efficient protection system is available. Depending on the cooling requirements of the catalytic converter and the cooling potential of the individual measures, it is decided which measure is used. Thus, the catalyst temperature is controlled by the staggered measures. A control of the measures used is possible by the achieved catalyst temperature and, if necessary, comparison with reference values or comparison of the effects of the individual measures on the catalyst temperature. The inventive system thus diagnoses the effectiveness of a individual measures.
Wenn ein erster vorgebbarer Schwellwert für die Differenz aus der maximal zulässigen Katalysatortemperatur und der tatsächlichen Katalysatortemperatur unterschritten wird, werden erste Maßnahmen zur Kühlung des Katalysators getroffen.If a first predefinable threshold for the difference from the maximum permissible Catalyst temperature and the actual catalyst temperature will be the first measures for the cooling of the Catalyst hit.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, weitere Schwellwerte für die Differenz vorzugeben und bei Unterschreiten der weiteren Schwellwerte sukzessiv weitere Maßnahmen zur Kühlung des Katalysators zu treffen.Especially It is advantageous to specify further threshold values for the difference and falling below the other thresholds successively more activities for cooling of the catalyst.
Die maximal zulässige Katalysatortemperatur wird abhängig vom zu erwartenden Energiefluß der Brennkraftmaschine und/oder vom vorhandenen Kühlpotential ermittelt, das durch wenigstens eine der Betriebskenngrößen oder Umgebungskenngrößen Außentemperatur, Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit, Drehzahl der Brennkraftmaschine, Oktanzahl des Kraftstoffs oder Betriebszustand einer Einrichtung zur Regelung des Antriebsschlupfs charakterisiert wird. Weiterhin kann bei starkem Gradienten der tatsächlichen Katalysatortemperatur ein anderer Wert für die maximal zulässige Katalysatortemperatur vorgegeben werden – insbesondere ein kleinerer Wert bei ansteigender Katalysatortemperatur. Damit werden die Maßnahmen bei ansteigender Katalysatortemperatur früher eingeleitet und somit wird die thermische Totzeit des Gesamtsystems auch bei dynamischen Betriebsbedingungen kompensiert.The maximum permissible Catalyst temperature becomes dependent of the expected energy flow of Internal combustion engine and / or determined by the existing cooling potential, the by at least one of the operating parameters or environmental parameters outside temperature, Vehicle speed, engine speed, octane number the fuel or operating condition of a device for regulation of the drive slip is characterized. Furthermore, in strong Gradients of the actual Catalyst temperature another value for the maximum allowable catalyst temperature be given - in particular a smaller value with increasing catalyst temperature. In order to become the measures initiated earlier with increasing catalyst temperature and thus becomes the thermal dead time of the entire system even under dynamic operating conditions compensated.
Die tatsächliche Katalysatortemperatur wird gemessen oder aus dem Heizstrom einer beheizten Abgassonde oder aus der stromauf des Katalysators gemessenen Abgastemperatur ermittelt oder mit Hilfe eines Modells aus Betriebskenngrößen der Brennkraftmaschine ermittelt.The actual Catalyst temperature is measured or from the heating of a heated exhaust gas probe or measured from the upstream of the catalyst Exhaust temperature determined or using a model of operating characteristics of Internal combustion engine determined.
Die Erfindung ist sehr flexibel und unviversell einsetzbar, da eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten zur Vorgabe der maximal zulässigen Katalysatortemperatur, zur Ermittlung der tatsächlichen Katalysatortemperatur und zur Kühlung des Katalysators vorgesehen ist.The Invention is very flexible and unviversell applicable, as a Variety of possibilities to specify the maximum allowable Catalyst temperature, to determine the actual catalyst temperature and for cooling the catalyst is provided.
