Detailed description of the invention
With reference to figure 1, which depict the typical air path of the explosive motor 10 for vehicle.One or more sensor 12 can be provided in air flow path.Such as, air mass flow rate sensor 12a and/or air-temperature pickup 12b can be provided in air flow path.Air can through the compressor 14a of turbocharger 14.Turbocharger 14 can improve engine power and export and emissions reduction.Typically, turbocharger 14 is furnished with exhaust gas-driven turbo-machine 14b, and this exhaust gas-driven turbo drive is arranged on the compressor 14a on same axostylus axostyle.Optional intercooler 16 can be provided in the downstream of turbocharger compressor 14a, such as, to increase the density of the air entering explosive motor 10 further.Air can enter explosive motor 10 via throttle gate 18, and this throttle gate is configured to change the mass flow of the air entering explosive motor.In particular instance of the present invention, explosive motor 10 comprises diesel motor.
The exhaust leaving explosive motor 10 can by the turbo-machine 14b of turbocharger.One or more pump-down process module 20 can be provided, such as, to reduce the discharge from engine exhaust.Pump-down process module 20 can comprise in oxide catalyst 20a (such as, diesel oxidation catalyst) and particulate filter 20b (such as, diesel particulate filter) one or more.
The exhaust gas recycling loop 22 being configured to optionally exhaust be got back to from explosive motor 10 recirculation explosive motor can also be provided.This exhaust gas recycling loop 22 can comprise recirculation valve 24, and this recirculation valve can control the amount of recirculation.In addition, vent gas cooler 26 can be provided in exhaust gas recycling loop 22.The cooling vessel bypass channel 28 with bypass disc 30 can in parallelly with vent gas cooler 26 provide, to make cooling vessel 26 can by optionally bypass.
Compartment heating component 32 can also be provided.Compartment heating component 32 can be configured to heat to be delivered to compartment from explosive motor 10.The cooling system conditioner circuit 34 being configured to cool explosive motor 10 can also be provided.Cooling system conditioner circuit 34 is passable, such as, via compartment heating component 32, heat is supplied to compartment.Miscellaneous part can be included on cooling system conditioner circuit, such as, and pump, radiator etc.
Referring to figs. 2 and 3, the present invention relates to method 100 and/or the system 200 in the compartment of heated vehicle.When vehicle in use, the passenger of vehicle can reside in compartment.As described above with respect to Fig. 2, method 100 comprises the first step 110 determining whether the compartment heating that needs are extra.Method 100 comprises the second step 120 reducing to enter the mass flowrate of the ambient air of explosive motor 10 further.The reduction of the mass flowrate of air can realize with the mass flowrate reducing to enter the ambient air of explosive motor 10 by regulating the position of throttle gate 18.Therefore, the temperature be associated with explosive motor can improve and more heats can be delivered to compartment by compartment heating component.If determine to need extra compartment heating in first step 110, second step 120 can be performed so subsequently to provide required additional heat.
Determine whether to need the first step 110 of extra compartment heating can comprise measurement environment air themperature, such as, measure via sensor 12b.First step 110 additionally or alternatively can comprise measurement compartment temperature, such as, measures via the temperature sensor in compartment.The computer heating control that can be arranged by the passenger of vehicle arranges and also can determine whether to need compartment to heat and/or the heating of extra compartment.Can arrange based on the ambient air temperature measured, compartment temperature and/or computer heating control subsequently and determine whether to need extra compartment heating.
Method 100 may further include the expectation air mass flow rate of determining to enter explosive motor 10.The air mass flow rate entering explosive motor can be measured, such as, measured by sensor 12a.Such as can regulate the position of throttle gate 18 according to the difference between the mass flowrate measured and desired qualities flow rate, to obtain expectation air mass flow rate.In this way, the mass flow entering the air of explosive motor can be such as controlled in C/LOOP by closed loop systems device.Therefore the air mass flow rate meeting engine calls (such as, moment of torsion, driving performance and the turbo-charger pressure regulating limit) can be realized.
But, when determining to need extra compartment heating, expecting that air mass flow rate can be reduced, such as, reducing scheduled volume.Expect that air mass flow rate can be reduced absolute magnitude or be reduced a part for previously desired flow rate.Expect that size that air mass flow rate reduces can be the function of environment and/or compartment temperature.But, expect that air mass flow rate can not be reduced to lower than minimum air mass flow rate.Should be appreciated that, the reduction of air mass flow rate can realize by regulating (such as, partly closing) throttle gate 18.
By closing air inlet shutter valve 18 (during its normal running at diesel motor, usual 100% opens) at lower environment and coolant temperature lower part, likely reduce the cold air stream entering explosive motor.Therefore, the temperature of explosive motor improves and transmission to cooling system conditioner circuit and the heat that therefore arrives compartment also increases.In particular example, the method has been illustrated as increasing the heat removal rate of engine coolant and the typical 50-100kph under the ambient air temperature of-18 DEG C drives cycle period to cause engine coolant temperature to increase by 10 DEG C to 20 DEG C.The increase of the engine coolant temperature produced can be used for compartment heating component, to improve compartment heating.
Method 100 may further include and prevents flow of exhaust through exhaust recirculation circuit 22, such as, regulates the position of throttle gate 18, to increase the heat being delivered to compartment simultaneously.But if determine that exhaust gas recirculation expects, so method 100 may further include the adjustment terminating Throttle Position, to increase the heat being delivered to compartment.Exhaust gas recirculation under any circumstance can increase the temperature of explosive motor, and therefore can not need cooling system conditioner and said method 100.
Alternatively, method 100 may further include and allows exhaust by exhaust gas recycling loop 22, such as, also regulates the position of throttle gate 18, to increase the heat being delivered to compartment simultaneously.
Explosive motor 10 can have multiple operation mode and described method can comprise with the one operation in multiple operation mode.Such as, said method can be set to the operation mode execution of zero with wherein exhaust gas recirculation flow rate.
Method 100 may further include to be determined no longer to need extra compartment heating; And terminate the adjustment of Throttle Position.Determine no longer to need extra compartment heating can comprise measurement environment air themperature and/or compartment temperature, and/or monitoring computer heating control is arranged.When ambient air temperature and/or compartment temperature reach respective threshold or when computer heating control setting is closed, extra compartment heating can be stopped.
With reference to figure 3, the system 200 for the compartment of heated vehicle comprises one or more controllers with the first module 210, and wherein the first module is configured to determine whether to need extra compartment heating.Controller comprises the second module 220, this second module is configured to regulate the position of throttle gate to reduce to enter the mass flowrate of the ambient air of explosive motor, thus improves the temperature that is associated with explosive motor and increase the heat being delivered to compartment by compartment heating component thus.Should be appreciated that, one or more controller can comprise the further module of any one be configured to perform the above method.Such as, controller can determine explosive motor is with which kind of operation mode.Should also be clear that controller can comprise the existing controller of any one be reprogrammed to perform the above method.
