Abstract

The invention relates to a system and method for controlling an after-treatment component of a compression-ignition engine. A method for controlling regeneration within an after-treatment component of an engine includes receiving a signal that is responsive to a change in pressure across an after-treatment component and calculating an estimate of accumulated particulate matter in the after-treatment component using a soot accumulation model calibrated to simulate operation of the engine at a reference condition. A soot model correction factor is based at least in part on an environmental temperature correction and is applied to the estimate of accumulated particulate matter in the after-treatment component to produce a temperature-compensated estimate of accumulated particulate matter in the after-treatment component. The temperature-compensated estimate of accumulated particulate matter in the after-treatment component is compared to a predetermined threshold associated with the after-treatment component, and a remedial action is initiated when the temperature-compensated estimate of accumulated particulate matter in the after-treatment component exceeds the predetermined threshold.

Description

Control the system and method for the after-treatment components of compression ignition engine
Technical field
The present invention relates to the after-treatment system of compression ignition engine, more particularly, relate to the system and method for the after-treatment components for controlling compression ignition engine.
Background technique
Due to environment reason, in the waste gas of compression ignition engine, the discharge of particulate matter is subject to control.Therefore, be equipped with the vehicle of compression ignition engine for example to generally include, for from its waste gas streams, (transforming, reduce and/or remove particulate matter and other controlled composition, nitrogen oxide or NOx) after-treatment components, for example, particulate filter, catalysis soot filters and absorbing catalyst.Particulate filter and other after-treatment components are effectively, but because they collect particulate matter, so also can increase counterpressure.
Particulate matter can comprise ash and the unburned carbon microsphere that is commonly referred to soot.Because this carbon back particulate matter accumulates in after-treatment components, it can increase the counterpressure in vent systems.Motor with large speed particulate loading discharge can relatively develop too high counterpressure level in cycle short-term, reduces engine efficiency and power and produces ability.Therefore, expectation has the micro particle filtering system that minimizes counterpressure, effectively traps the particulate matter in waste gas simultaneously.
For realizing this two challenging targets, must monitor termly after-treatment components, and the soot gathered by replacement parts or removal is safeguarded after-treatment components.The soot gathered from the after-treatment components cleaning can be by being oxidized to CO 2(that is, burning) realizes, is called in the art regeneration.For avoiding service disruption, regeneration is preferable over the replacing of after-treatment components usually.Cyclic regeneration catcher (CRT) is a kind of after-treatment components that traps the particle in waste gas streams and comprise the catalyzer that helps regeneration.
A kind of method that can realize regeneration is that the temperature by the particulate matter by filter material and/or collection is increased to the level over the combustion temperature of particulate matter.Improve temperature and promote the consumption of soot by the excessive oxygen oxidation particulate matter in permission waste gas.By particulate matter being exposed to the nitrogen dioxide (NO of sufficient concentration 2), at a lower temperature, particulate matter also can be oxidized, thereby be removed.The waste gas of compression engine (for example, diesel engine) contains NOx usually, and it mainly comprises nitrous oxide (NO) and percent 5 to 20 NO roughly 2, while in waste gas streams, having oxidation catalyst, NO 2Level generally higher.Therefore, the regeneration of some levels even occur in relatively low temperature.
Regenerative process can be passive or active.In passive system, for example, for example, whenever heat (, waste gas carries) and soot (, trapping in after-treatment components) while being enough to accelerating oxidation, and/or there is the NO that makes enough concentration that can oxidation at lower temperature in waste gas 2The time, all can regenerate.In active system, for example, by from external source (, electric heater, fuel burner, microwave applicator and/or from motor itself, for example directly spray into the injection of waste gas streams with later stage in-cylinder injection or fuel) introduce heat and cause regeneration in the expected time.Start initiative regeneration during multiple vehicle operating and exhaust situation.In these situations, favourable operational scenario is the stationary vehicle operation, for example, when vehicle stop, as the fueling parking period.Engine control system can be used to prediction and when initiatively promotes regeneration event and regenerative process is implemented to control to be favourable.
Engine control system can be used the soot model, by the characteristic of monitoring waste gas streams when waste gas streams flows through after-treatment components, infers the amount of soot of gathering in (, prediction) after-treatment components.Control system can be monitored time dependent soot load by the amount of soot data of inferring, to determine or to expect that it is necessary or expectation when regenerating, and to promote regeneration event, and/or implements the control to regenerative process or other remedial measure.In a kind of exemplary soot model, can utilize the pressure drop (that is, the reduction of pressure) of the after-treatment components both sides of loading, together with soot gather and pressure drop between the knowledge of relation, estimate the soot load of machinery systems in after-treatment components.This is possible, because along with soot gathers in after-treatment components, when pressure drop is usually clean from after-treatment components, the pressure drop of experience increases (in concrete temperature and volume flow rate).
The variation that has been found that engine operating temperature can cause the significant change of the amount of soot of carrying in engine efflux.This may be due to usually owing to the partial combustion temperature be a plurality of factors of compensation temperature to the control of motor.Therefore, but run into the problem of the soot model of attempting to produce the accurately predicting soot that motor is discharged on the certain environment temperature range.
Thereby expectation provides a kind of improved system and method for the after-treatment components of controlling compression ignition engine, for determining when, promotes initiative regeneration, and for the initiative regeneration of controlling the micro particle filtering system, have an improved model accuracy especially on the certain environment temperature range.

As shown in fig. 1, heater 108 is configured to increase heat to after-treatment components 106, to cause on one's own initiative the regeneration in after-treatment components 106.Refresh controller 110 is configured to predict that the regeneration of when experiencing in after-treatment components is necessary or favourable, and, when appropriate, promotes on one's own initiative regeneration event.Refresh controller 110 can be for example by for example, from external source (heater 108) to after-treatment components, 106 introducing heats or by causing that fuel sprays set out motivation 102 or vent systems 104 and promotes this event.
In order to make refresh controller 110 can carry out better its function, various utensils are disposed in motor 102 and vent systems 104.Described utensil is configured to the variation in response to relevant parameter in motor 102 and vent systems 104, and to refresh controller 110 transmitted signals, the operation of these signal indication motors 102 and after-treatment components 104.For example, in the exemplary embodiment, upstream pressure sensor 112 is measured the pressure of after-treatment components 106 exhaust gases upstream streams and is produced upstream pressure signal 114.Similarly, downstream pressure sensor 116 is measured the pressure of after-treatment components 106 downstream flue gas streams and is produced downstream pressure signal 118.In addition, upstream temperature sensor 120 is measured the temperature of after-treatment components 106 exhaust gases upstream streams and is produced upstream temperature signal 122.
Downstream temperature sensor 124 is measured the temperature of after-treatment components 106 downstream flue gas streams and is produced downstream temperature sensor 126.The speed of engine speed sensor 128 sensing motors 102 also produces engine speed signal 130.The mass flowrate of mobile working fluid (for example, air or air and fuel or waste gas) produce motor flow rate signal 134 in motor flow transducer 132 sensing motors 102 or vent systems 104.Engine air inlet temperature sensor 142 sensings enter motor 102 combustion air temperature and produce intake air temperature signals 144.The temperature of the combustion air in the charge air cooler downstream that downstream charge air cooler temperature transducer 146 sensings are associated with the combustion air flow that enters motor 102 also produces gas-filling temperature signal 148.The temperature of the atmosphere environment that environment temperature sensor 150 sensing motors 102 operate therein also produces ambient temperature signal 152.
Refresh controller 110 reception information, for example, from upstream pressure sensor 112, downstream pressure sensor 116, upstream temperature sensor 120, downstream temperature sensor 124, engine speed sensor 128, motor flow transducer 132, engine air inlet temperature sensor 142, the upstream pressure signal 114 of downstream charge air cooler temperature transducer 146 and environment temperature sensor 150, downstream pressure signal 118, upstream temperature signal 122, downstream temperature signal 126, engine speed signal 130, motor flow rate signal 134, intake air temperature signals 144, one or more in gas-filling temperature signal 148 and ambient temperature signal 152.The processor 136 of refresh controller 110 follows the storage 138 be associated with refresh controller 110 to coordinate, execution is configured to make refresh controller 110 can monitor the instruction of the soot load in after-treatment components 106, to determine or to expect when the regeneration in after-treatment components 106 is essential or expectation, to promote the regeneration event in after-treatment components 106, and/or implement the control to regenerative process or other remedial measure.
For example, in the exemplary embodiment, refresh controller 110 is configured to estimate based on the pressure drop index amount that in after-treatment components 106, particulate matter gathers, the reduction of the pressure of waste gas streams when this pressure drop exponential representation waste gas streams passes after-treatment components 106.In the exemplary embodiment, refresh controller 110 use upstream pressure signal 114 and downstream pressure signal 118 are calculated the pressure drop index.In addition, refresh controller 110 is used from the engine speed signal of engine speed sensor 128 or from the motor flow rate signal 134 of motor flow transducer 132 and produces the flow rate indexes.
Once produce the characteristic of mobile stream, the amount that refresh controller 110 gathers with regard to the particulate matter of estimating in after-treatment components 106.In the exemplary embodiment, refresh controller 110 is used soot to gather model, the soot rate figure of this model based on using the exploitation of motor discharge condition.In a further exemplary embodiment, refresh controller 110 is used the soot of the relation based between pressure drop index, flow rate exponential sum humidity index to gather model.Those skilled in the art can be clear, and the increase of the amount of the pressure drop when constant flow rate and temperature (, the reduction of pressure) means gathering of soot in after-treatment components 106 or other particulate matter.Those skilled in the art also can be clear, and the flow rate index can be standardized as standardization temperature and standardization pressure (for example, according to perfect gas law), to eliminate part or all inaccuracy relevant to the variation of the temperature and pressure of waste gas streams.This is possible, because known, even if temperature and/or the pressure of stream can change, between the pressure loss and this calibrated flow, also has consistent relation.
As mentioned above, the temperature that has realized that the environment of motor 102 operation can cause the significant change of the amount of soot of carrying in engine efflux.For making the impact that the soot model can the compensate for ambient temperature, to the prediction of output application of temperature correction factor produced by the soot model.For determining the temperature correction factor, first carry out relevant which ambient temperature parameter of using as proofreading and correct basic selection.In the exemplary embodiment, set up in advance data hierarchy.In a further exemplary embodiment, which parameter of user's choice for use.In another exemplary embodiment, for reliability is assessed the ambient temperature of sensing, and use more reliable parameter.This can cause using intake air temperature signals 144, gas-filling temperature signal 148 or ambient temperature signal 152.
Once select appropriate temperature signal, just known the or projected relationship between the temperature based on selecting and temperature and correction factor is determined correction factor.In the exemplary embodiment, can determine the correction factor of for example, locating at varying environment height above sea level (sea level, medium height above sea level and high height above sea level) with a plurality of coreected cures.A plurality of temperature correction factors that consequently run through the benchmark height above sea level of certain limit.Then can determine by for example interpolation the correction factor be associated with actual height above sea level.This actual height above sea level can be determined by external pressure.Finally, can apply this correction factor, to regulate the output of soot model, thus the compensate for ambient temperature.
Should be understood that, exist multiple expression to quantize and follow the trail of the pressure drop of after-treatment components.For example, in one embodiment, the pressure drop index is calculated as the ratio (that is, PR=Pu/Pd) of upstream pressure and downstream pressure, to mean the pressure ratio of after-treatment components both sides.In another embodiment, the pressure drop index is calculated as poor (that is, DP=Pu – Pd) between upstream pressure and downstream pressure, to mean the pressure difference of after-treatment components both sides.In another embodiment, the pressure drop index is calculated as difference between upstream pressure and downstream pressure divided by the size of upstream pressure (that is, as the standardization pressure drop, DPP=DP/Pu), poor with the pressure criteria that means the after-treatment components both sides.As those skilled in the clear, above-mentioned flow rate exponential signal can or be configured to by engine speed sensor or Mass Air Flow sensor any other sensor of engine operating condition that sensing means the relative flow rate of waste gas streams and produces.
In the time will carrying out or rely on soot based on pressure and gather model and estimate for soot, refresh controller 110 can gather model based on soot at least in part and estimate the particulate matter gathered in after-treatment components.As mentioned above, this model needs the knowledge of pressure, temperature and the flow rate of waste gas streams as mentioned above.In the exemplary embodiment, the estimated value produced by model means the amount of the particulate matter that expectation has been gathered in after-treatment components.Can the soot based on pressure based on posterior infromation gather model and be configured to be reflected in the relation between particulate matter quality, pressure drop index, the index of discharge and the humidity index of gathering in the after-treatment components of (that is, normalization output) under reference ambient temperature.As mentioned above, the normalization output that the soot based on pressure gathers model carrys out bi-directional scaling according to the temperature correction factor, the amount of the particulate matter gathered in after-treatment components for the specific environment temperature of motor 102 operations with prediction.
Because the estimated value of the material gathered in after-treatment components is followed the predetermined threshold be associated with after-treatment components and is made comparisons, and can promote indemnifying measure while due to the adjustment estimated value of the particulate matter gathered, surpassing predetermined threshold in after-treatment components, so the inaccuracy of this process likely unnecessarily or trigger regenerative process evening.Therefore, by application of temperature compensating factor as mentioned above, refresh controller 110 can improve the reliability of the estimation level that soot gathers, thereby reduces the demand to excessive nargin, and may eliminate unnecessary maintenance.
According to exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the example process 200 of for example, regenerating for the after-treatment components (CRT) of controlling compression ignition engine as shown in Figure 2, comprises the step (step 210) of the one or more values that receive the one or more parameters relevant to the waste gas streams that passes through after-treatment components substantially.In the exemplary embodiment, this parameter can mean pressure variation, upstream temperature, downstream temperature, engine speed or the motor flow rate of upstream pressure, downstream pressure, after-treatment components both sides.
Described value can be received as the signal from upstream pressure sensor 112, downstream pressure sensor 116, upstream temperature sensor 120, downstream temperature sensor 124, engine speed sensor 128 or motor flow transducer 132 or the combination based on them.Described parameter can be the humidity index of the pressure drop index of the reduction of waste air flow pressure while meaning waste gas streams by after-treatment components, the flow rate index that means the waste gas streams flow rate and/or expression exhaust flow temperature.
Except receiving one or more values, process 200 comprises determines the ambient temperature (step 220) of motor in its lower operation.More specifically, this step of process comprises: (a) receive intake air temperature signals (step 222); (b) receive gas-filling temperature signal (step 224); (c) reception environment (for example, on every side) temperature signal (step 226); (d) ambient temperature that is identified for soot model tuning purpose is proofreaied and correct (step 228).Ambient temperature is proofreaied and correct determine can be based on user's appointment selection or pre-defined algorithm (for example, data hierarchy or reliability assessment), this pre-defined algorithm causes at least one the selection based in intake air temperature signals, gas-filling temperature signal or ambient temperature signal.
Be based upon the definite ambient temperature of soot model tuning purpose and proofread and correct, refresh controller 110 is identified for the soot model tuning factor (step 230) of output of the soot model of adjusting ambient temperature.In the exemplary embodiment, refresh controller 110 is based on pressure signal, and suction pressure signal is for example determined the height above sea level (step 232) of power operation.Then, refresh controller 110 reads one or more figure, and (each figure is illustrated in motor and is determined operation part or near height above sea level, the for example medium height above sea level of 5000 feet and/or the high height above sea level of 10000 feet on sea level for example on sea level, for example sea level), to determine the soot model tuning factor (step 234) of the various height above sea level under the specific environment temperature correction.In addition, refresh controller 110 can be used practical operation height above sea level interpolation between the soot model tuning factor be associated with various height above sea level, thereby determines the appropriate soot model tuning (step 236) at specific environment temperature correction and operation height above sea level place.Further again, refresh controller 110 can promote setting and the adjusting to the restriction of ambient temperature or operation height above sea level, exceed this restriction, the soot based on pressure gathers the reliable adjustment (step 240) that model can be considered to insecure or be unsuitable for the base condition that is developed or demarcates from this model.
