Description

Water trap located upstream and heatable catalytic converter arrangement are arranged
The present invention relates to a kind of device of cleaning internal combustion engines exhaust gases stream.When purifying automobile exhaust, make every effort to reach the low more limiting value of hazardous emission, to alleviate the burden of environment.The part of difficulty is the cold-start phase of internal-combustion engine especially in exhaust is handled again, must eliminate a large amount of hydrocarbons in exhaust in this stage usually.Carbon monoxide also should be oxidized to carbon dioxide, thereby must promote it is the process of oxidation basically by catalytic active substance at cold-start phase.When the operation of the engine load followed, adopt No. three catalysts to carry out exhaust gas purification usually, the composition that their simultaneously can the energy of oxidation oxidation and reduce nitrogen oxide.
For example in EP0638710A2 and EP0485179A2, introduced the emission control system that mainly is designed at the cold-start phase purifying exhaust gas.This system may comprise many parts, that is No. three catalysts, hydrocarbon adsorber and heatable honeycomb ceramics.Some different systems of wherein also touching upon, and which parts of an emission control system should be established the catalytically active coatings of which kind of type.
For example in WO96/10127, introduced to this vent systems particularly suitable can electrically heated parts, they guarantee to reach rapidly the minimum temperature of catalytic reaction necessity at cold-start phase.For have can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics device, people originally thought must reach about 250 ℃ temperature before catalytically active coatings can be facilitated desired oxidizing process.
But according to understanding afterwards, the temperature that catalytic active substance can trigger carbon monoxide and oxidizing hydrocarbon allows to reduce greatly, as long as the carrier of catalytic active substance can keep dry basically.Once some coatings had been developed, they can be coated in as common on the honeycomb ceramics of ceramic wash coat, as long as honeycomb ceramics and ceramic coating are dry, they have just played oxidation catalyst during for example at 70-80 ℃ being lower than 100 ℃ significantly so.Can use so-called water separator in order to keep dry here, they have comprised some can absorb material with storage of water in a large number when being lower than the temperature of regulation.In WO96/39576 for example, introduce some and had the different design and the required for this reason materials of vent systems of this type of water separator.
Based on this prior art, the objective of the invention is, will be made up by the known different parts that are used for exhaust gas purification of prior art, so that realize especially effectively exhaust gas purification in order to reach low especially harmful substance contents in the outlet port.Here a special purpose is will improve the exhaust gas purification in cold-start phase and can cancel near the high load part motor in the exhaust duct.Also make every effort to obtain structure very effective emission control system especially simply again, wherein, what comprised in this system can compare in requisition for energy still less with known devices by electrically heated honeycomb ceramics.The present invention should also provide the appropriate methods that is used to move this device.
Be used to reach this purpose by the device of claim 1 with by the method for claim 13.Favourable and particularly preferred form of implementation have been described in each dependent claims.
The device that is used for cleaning internal combustion engines exhaust gases stream by the present invention successively comprises following parts along the flow direction of exhaust:
First water separator, can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics and the honeycomb ceramics of the catalytically active coatings of accelerating oxidation is at least arranged.Wherein, can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics and have the honeycomb ceramics of catalytically active coatings also can completely or partially constitute an element of construction.
Also want sets forth in detail as the back, this device can be used for two kinds of different functions according to its size.In the honeycomb ceramics size of can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics and catalytically active coatings being arranged hour, this device can be connected for example No. three catalyst downstreams of a common emission control system.This device is mainly used in cold-start phase oxidizing carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon in this case, and the exhaust gas purification task when the emission control system of upstream is born at load operation and this device in the downstream are changed a spot of remaining harmful matter at the most again.
Water separator keeps two components downstream dryings, so just can implement catalytic reaction when temperature is 70-80 ℃.Because in the cold-start phase vent systems, only flow through small amount of exhaust gas stream, so compare with the traditional system that does not contain water separator, this can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics can be rapid many and/or reach such temperature with still less electric energy, in traditional system, then honeycomb ceramics must be placed minimum 250 ℃ temperature.Usually can add the oxidation coating at least by electrically heated honeycomb ceramics, so honeycomb ceramics begins the oxidation reaction of catalytic exothermic immediately when reaching the required temperature of catalytic reaction, they then further improve delivery temperature sharp, and will also place under the reaction temperature at the honeycomb ceramics that the catalytically active coatings that plays oxidation is at least arranged equally in downstream.Therefore after several seconds, begun almost completely to purify the exhaust of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon.The size of water separator should be designed to, and it can store the water vapour from internal-combustion engine muchly, until can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics and/or the honeycomb ceramics that catalytically active coatings is arranged in the downstream begin catalytic reaction.Afterwards, water separator can and be discharged the water of storing again by the blast air heating, can not influence the exhaust gas purification effect.Then original catalytic conversion system also reaches its operating temperature and thereby bears main exhaust gas purification task in the continuation running of internal-combustion engine.Therefore can be not overheated in this system in downstream, but in temperature even decline to some extent in some cases again.
Water separator and can being arranged in automobile from the distant place of motor by electrically heated honeycomb ceramics advantageously is with the temperature load that reduces this system when the load operation and aging.
Should be pointed out that can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics and have the honeycomb ceramics of catalytically active coatings can constitute single element of construction, need only have a heatable honeycomb ceramics with enough big surface that is added with catalytically active coatings under extreme case.Certainly, in particularly preferred form of implementation, one very short can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics be directly arranged in before the honeycomb ceramics and be bearing in above it, for example illustrated in WO96/10127.
In order the honeycomb ceramics of catalytically active coatings to be arranged when the parking of automobile and/or can also to keep dry by electrically heated honeycomb ceramics, under the simplest situation, in vent systems, establish an one-way valve, it is closed basically hermetically by EXO and when the no exhaust air flow.
Additionally or as an alternative also can establish second water separator at the vent systems end, it can receive the atmospheric water in the possibility invasive system when stopping for prolonged period of time, and the honeycomb ceramics in its front is made moist.
If use by device of the present invention, then no longer need No. three catalysts are arranged near the motor, but can leave internal-combustion engine outlet 30cm or farther in conjunction with common No. three catalysts.Because internal-combustion engine is used rich mixed gas work usually at cold-start phase, that is to be higher than stoichiometric oil-gas ratio work, so must be at the somewhere of internal-combustion engine back input secondary air, to guarantee the fuel of catalytic conversion surplus.Because the exhaust that this secondary air cooling is flowed out from internal-combustion engine, so the input of secondary air is often carrying out between catalyst and the main catalytic converter in advance, so that can more promptly heat pre-catalyst.Yet this point but is inessential in the present invention, so the import of secondary air can be located between internal-combustion engine and first parts of emission control system Anywhere.If exhaust gas purification is had extra high requirement at cold-start phase, then can be before can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics establish a hydrocarbon adsorber somewhere again, at first it absorb the hydrocarbon in the exhaust, until the sufficiently high temperature that can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics be useful on catalytic reaction.By in the emission control system of the present invention, the hydrocarbon adsorber preferably be arranged in first water separator and can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics between.This hydrocarbon adsorber normally has the honeycomb ceramics of special zeolite coating, as illustrated in the prior art of quoting.
Water separator, hydrocarbon but also have general catalytically active coatings under very high temperature, also to be referred to as aging process to damage by people.Because do not depend on the temperature of the exhaust that stream comes,, thereby reduced the danger of part aging so that whole device can be arranged in automobile is interior from the distant place of internal-combustion engine by the ability to work of device of the present invention.If do not allow to do such layout, also can be before first water separator or be located at the hydrocarbon adsorber of its front in case of necessity before establish the device that is used to dispel the heat.It can be the outlet pipe that is designed to heat exchanger under the simplest situation.But also can implement adjustable or can not force cooling by mode.This adopts when especially being provided with No. three common catalysts before by device of the present invention, and the latter further improves delivery temperature by exothermic reaction when load operation.In this case advantageously, before the miscellaneous part of the system of arrival, reduce delivery temperature again.
Also can will be designed and sized to by device of the present invention, make it can under the situation of No. three catalysts that do not have the upstream, bear the whole exhaust gas purification tasks that begin from cold-start phase separately.Certainly enough big volume must be arranged at the honeycomb ceramics that catalytically active coatings is arranged that can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics back in this case, to guarantee the conversion fully when the load operation.The catalytically active coatings that a kind of accelerating oxidation can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics should be arranged at least.Therefore, at this use a kind of preferred device streamwise in field successively comprise water separator, can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics, honeycomb ceramics and second water separator and/or the one-way valve in case of necessity of three tunnel coatings of catalytic activity arranged.In addition, this system also can comprise a hydrocarbon adsorber when needed.
Should be pointed out that can adopt multi-form can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics and the honeycomb ceramics parts of catalytically active coatings are arranged.For example, can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics can be bearing on the honeycomb ceramics that is positioned at its back or even be combined into a this bigger honeycomb ceramics.There is the honeycomb ceramics of catalytically active coatings also can comprise a plurality of single splits.
By method of the present invention, can electrically heated honeycomb ceramics begin heating during the latest from cranking internal combustion engine.In the system that does not have the hydrocarbon adsorber, can before cranking internal combustion engine, just begin heating 1 to 5 second, so that guaranteed complete purifying exhaust gas from the beginning.For example when opening car door, the circuit of starting heating in time when inserting when the driver sits on the operating seat or with ignition key is known.Because the required temperature of beginning catalytic reaction is very low in the honeycomb ceramics of drying, for example 70-80 ℃, so only need the heating time and/or the less thermoelectric (al) power that adds of a weak point.Therefore can aspect the electrically heated honeycomb ceramics size design big degrees of freedom arranged.
Allow to be embodied as when the cold starting by device of the present invention and obtain the needed operating mode of internal-combustion engine advantageous feature by mode especially smoothly.Internal-combustion engine at first can be rich gas mixture work, meanwhile at air intlet input secondary air, until the internal combustion function with stoichiometric oil-gas ratio or even with rare gas mixture operation.Should be pointed out that by device of the present invention and also be suitable in the venting gas appliance of lean-burn engine at the optional feature of cold-start phase as exhaust gas purification.Change stoichiometry into or be lower than the stoichiometry operation from the rich oil operation, preferably according to carrying out, that is when being reached for the required temperature of catalytic conversion, implements by catalyst this transformation for temperature that record or that calculate in designed No. three catalysts of load operation.
When using water separator in vent systems, if do not take addition thereto, saturated situation that the water separator water absorbing capacity reaches capacity and the working method that loses its usefulness may appear.Water separator can set Electric heating appliance in this case, and they are connected when internal combustion engine operation and/or after stopping, with the drying and dehydrating device.
Should be pointed out that for present in use the fuel of sulfur-bearing still, that is the honeycomb ceramics of the coating that absorbs sulphur is arranged for the parts of avoiding damaging or be infected with emission control system also can be established devulcanizer.Before preferably it being contained in the harm parts the most very that are subjected to sulphur, but should be enough far away from motor, in order to avoid the devulcanizer heat damage.Favourable mounting point for example is directly before first water separator of system.
