Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Brennkraftmaschine nach den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine according to the Features of the preamble of claim 1.
Insbesondere bei Motoren mit Benzin-Direkteinspritzung wird im sogenannten Schichtladebetrieb der Kraftstoff erst kurz vor der Zündung eingespritzt, wobei das zugeführte Kraftstoff-Luftgemisch sehr mager ist (Luftzahl λ < 1). Der Luftüberschuss im sogenannten Magerbetrieb lässt jedoch Stickoxide entstehen, die in einem NOx-Speicher- Katalysator zwischengespeichert werden müssen. Stellt ein in der Motorsteuerung integriertes Rechenmodell oder der in bzw. nach dem Speicherkatalysator installierte NOx-Sensor eine ansteigende Stickoxid-Konzentration fest, schaltet die Motorsteuerung für Sekunden auf einen fetten Betrieb mit Luftzahlen λ < 1 um. Auf die Anfettung zurückzuführende Kohlenwasserstoffe im Abgas bewirken nun eine Reduktion der im Speicherkatalysator eingelagerten Stickoxide. Nach der Regeneration des Speicherkatalysators kann der Motor im Teillastbereich wieder im Magerbetrieb arbeiten und somit Kraftstoff einsparen.In the case of engines with gasoline direct injection in particular, the so-called Stratified charge mode of fuel is injected shortly before the ignition, the supplied fuel-air mixture is very lean (air ratio λ <1). The excess air in so-called lean operation, however, creates nitrogen oxides, which are stored in a NOx Catalyst must be cached. Sets in the engine control integrated computing model or the one installed in or after the storage catalytic converter NOx sensor detects an increasing nitrogen oxide concentration, the engine control switches for seconds to a rich operation with air numbers λ <1 um. On the enrichment Hydrocarbons to be returned in the exhaust gas now bring about a reduction in the Storage catalytic converter stored nitrogen oxides. After the regeneration of the Storage catalytic converter, the engine can work in lean operation again in the partial load range and thus save fuel.
Bei Motoren mit zwei oder mehreren Zylinderbänken (z. B. Boxer- oder V-Motor) werden die zwei- oder mehrsträngig ausgebildeten Abgasabführungen in den meisten Fällen zu einem gemeinsamen Abgasrohr zusammengeführt. Es gibt jedoch auch mehrreihige Brennkraftmaschinen, bei denen aus gasdynamischen Gründen - je Zylinderreihe - eine separate Abgasabführung vorteilhaft ist.For engines with two or more cylinder banks (e.g. boxer or V engine) the two- or multi-line exhaust gas outlets in most cases merged into a common exhaust pipe. However, there are also multiple rows Internal combustion engines in which - for gas-dynamic reasons - one for each cylinder bank separate exhaust gas discharge is advantageous.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, bei der letztgenannten Brennkraftmaschinen- Ausführung eine Abgasnachbehandlung durch NOx-Speicher-Katalysatoren für jeden Abgasstrang vorzusehen, wobei die Kapazität der Speicher-Katalysatoren optimal ausgenutzt werden soll. The object of the invention is therefore in the latter internal combustion engine Execution of an exhaust gas aftertreatment by NOx storage catalysts for everyone Provide exhaust system, the capacity of the storage catalysts optimal should be exploited.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Verfahrensmerkmale.The problem is solved by the specified in claim 1 Process features.
Dadurch, dass die Fett/Mager-Zyklen zur Regeneration der in den Abgassträngen angeordneten Speicherkatalysatoren separat geregelt werden, bestimmt sich die Häufigkeit der Regeneration nicht nach dem "schlechteren" Speicherkatalysator, der beispielsweise aufgrund von Volumen- bzw. Fertigungstoleranzen unter Umständen eine geringere Speicherkapazität aufweist, als der in dem anderen Abgasstrang angeordnete Speicherkatalysator. Wird zuerst nur in einem Speicherkatalysator ein Anstieg der Stickoxid-Konzentration detektiert, so wird das Kraftstoff-Luftgemisch nur für die dem Speicherkatalysator zugeordnete Zylinderbankreihe angereichert, d. h. es wird über die Motorsteuerung vom Magerbetrieb in den Fettbetrieb "umgeschaltet". Bei der Benzin- Direkteinspritzung, bei der der Kraftstoff im Teillastbereich im sogenannten Schichtbetrieb erst im Kompressionstakt eingespritzt wird, würde dann die Kraftstoffeinspritzung für die dem "schlechteren" Speicherkatalysator zugeordnete Zylinderbankreihe bereits während des Ansaugtaktes erfolgen. Durch die separate Regelung der Fett/Mager-Zyklen können Kraftstoff-Verbrauchsvorteile erzielt werden, da die andere Zylinderbankreihe gegebenenfalls noch so lange im Magerbetrieb weiter arbeiten kann, bis ebenfalls ein Signal zur Regeneration des der Zylinderbankreihe zugeordneten NOx-Speicherkatalysators mit der grösseren Speicherkapazität abgegeben wird.Because of the rich / lean cycles for regeneration in the exhaust lines arranged storage catalytic converters are regulated separately, the Frequency of regeneration not after the "worse" storage catalyst, the for example, due to volume or manufacturing tolerances has less storage capacity than that arranged in the other exhaust line Storage catalyst. If there is first an increase in only one storage catalytic converter Nitrogen oxide concentration is detected, so the fuel-air mixture is only for that Accumulated cylinder bank row assigned to storage catalytic converter, d. H. it is about the Engine control "switched" from lean operation to rich operation. When petrol Direct injection, in which the fuel in the partial load range in the so-called Shift operation is only injected in the compression cycle, the would Fuel injection for those assigned to the "worse" storage catalytic converter Cylinder bank row already take place during the intake stroke. Through the separate Controlling the rich / lean cycles can achieve fuel consumption benefits because the other row of cylinder banks may continue to run lean for as long as necessary can work until there is also a signal to regenerate the cylinder bank row assigned NOx storage catalytic converter with the larger storage capacity is delivered.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung und Zeichnung näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is in the following description and Drawing explained in more detail.
Die einzige Figur zeigt schematisch eine zweireihige Brennkraftmaschine mit einer zweistrangigen separaten Abgasabführung. The single figure shows schematically a two-row internal combustion engine with one two-line separate exhaust gas discharge.
Die im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel als 6-Zylinder-Motor ausgebildete Brennkraftmaschine weist zwei Zylinderbankreihen 2 und 4 auf, denen jeweils eine separat ausgebildete Abgasabführung 6 und 8 nachgeschaltet ist. Beide Abgasabführungen 6, 8 weisen ein Abgaskrümmerteil 10 bzw. 12 auf, das über jeweils drei einzelne Krümmerrohre 14 bis 16 bzw. 17 bis 19 und über ein Verteilerstück 20 bzw. 21 in jeweils ein Abgassammelrohr 22 bzw. 23 übergeht. Den beiden Abgassammelrohren 22, 23 sind in Strömungsrichtung der Abgase gesehen jeweils ein Vorkatalysator 24 bzw. 25, ein Speicherkatalysator 26 bzw. 27 und jeweils ein Nachschalldämpfer 28 bzw. 29 nachgeordnet.The internal combustion engine designed as a 6-cylinder engine in the present exemplary embodiment has two rows of cylinder banks 2 and 4 , each of which is followed by a separately designed exhaust gas outlet 6 and 8 . Both exhaust gas outlets 6 , 8 have an exhaust manifold part 10 or 12 , which merges into three exhaust manifolds 22 and 23 , respectively, via three individual manifold tubes 14 to 16 or 17 to 19 and via a distributor piece 20 or 21 . A precatalyst 24 or 25 , a storage catalytic converter 26 or 27 and a rear silencer 28 or 29 are arranged downstream of the two exhaust manifolds 22 , 23 as seen in the flow direction of the exhaust gases.
Die Vorkatalysatoren 24, 25 sind mit den Speicherkatalysatoren 26, 27 über jeweils eine Abgasrohrleitung 30 bzw. 31 miteinander verbunden; die Speicherkatalysatoren 26, 27 wiederum sind ebenfalls über Abgasrohrleitungen 32 bzw. 33 mit den Nachschalldämpfern 28, 29 verbunden. Aus den beiden Nachschalldämpfern 28, 29 führt ein kurzes Abgasrohr 34 bzw. 35, das gleichzeitig das Endstück der Abgasabführung bildet.The pre-catalysts 24 , 25 are connected to the storage catalysts 26 , 27 via an exhaust pipe 30 and 31, respectively; The storage catalytic converters 26 , 27 are in turn also connected to the rear silencers 28 , 29 via exhaust gas pipes 32 and 33, respectively. A short exhaust pipe 34 and 35 leads from the two rear silencers 28 , 29 , which at the same time forms the end piece of the exhaust gas discharge.
Zur Erfassung des Rest Sauerstoffgehalts ist im Vorkatalysator 24 bzw. 25 jeweils eine Lambda-Regel-Sonde 36 bzw. 37 angebracht. In Strömungsrichtung der Abgase gesehen sind hinter den Vorkatalysatoren 24, 25 zur Erfassung der Abgastemperatur zwei Temperatursensoren 38 bzw. 39 in der Abgasrohrleitung 30 bzw. 31 angebracht. Zur Erfassung des Speicherzustandes der beiden Speicherkatalysatoren 26, 27 sind in Strömungsrichtung der Abgase gesehen am Ende dieser Katalysatoren jeweils ein NOx- Sensor 40 bzw. 41 angeordnet. Die Lambda-Regelsonden 36, 37, die Temperatursensoren 38, 39 sowie die beiden NOx-Sensoren 40 und 41 sind darüber hinaus mit einem Motorsteuergerät 42 verbunden. A lambda control probe 36 or 37 is installed in the pre-catalyst 24 or 25 to record the residual oxygen content. Seen in the flow direction of the exhaust gases, two temperature sensors 38 and 39 are mounted in the exhaust pipe 30 and 31 behind the pre-catalysts 24 , 25 for detecting the exhaust gas temperature. To detect the storage state of the two storage catalytic converters 26 , 27 , a NOx sensor 40 and 41 are arranged at the end of these catalytic converters, as seen in the flow direction of the exhaust gases. The lambda control probes 36 , 37 , the temperature sensors 38 , 39 and the two NOx sensors 40 and 41 are also connected to an engine control unit 42 .
Im Folgenden wird das Regelverfahren zur Regeneration der Speicherkatalysatoren 26, 27, das insbesondere für Motoren mit Benzin-Direkteinspritzung geeignet ist, näher beschrieben. Bei der Benzin-Direkteinspritzung wird im Teillastbereich der Kraftstoff im Kompressionstakt des Kolbens eingespritzt. Dieser im unteren Drehzahl- und Drehmomentbereich betriebene geschichtete Magerbetrieb mit Luftüberschuss (λ < 1) lässt jedoch Stickoxide entstehen, die in den Speicherkatalysatoren 26 und 27 mittels einer chemischen Reaktion eingelagert werden. Wird mit Hilfe der am Ende der Speicherkatalysatoren 26, 27 angeordneten NOx-Sensoren 40, 41 ein Anstieg der NOx- Konzentration in den Speicherkatalysatoren 26, 27 detektiert, so wird mit Hilfe des Steuergerätes 42 von der geschichteten Gemischaufbereitung mit einer Luftzahl λ < 1 auf eine homogene Gemischaufbereitung mit einer Luftzahl λ < 1 "umgeschaltet". Dazu wird der Einspritzzeitpunkt für den homogenen Betrieb vom Kompressionstakt zum Einlasstakt hin verlagert. Gleichzeitig wird über das Steuergerät 42 die im Ansaugtrakt des Motors befindliche Drosselklappe von der Stellung "offen" auf "teilweise geschlossen" gestellt, so dass das Kraftstoff-Luftgemisch zur Regeneration der Speicherkatalysatoren 26, 27 im gewünschten Sinne angereichert wird. Mit Hilfe der im Abgasrohr 22, 23 angeordneten Lambda-Sonden 36, 37 kann ein Homogenbetrieb mit λ = 1 überwacht werden. Da u. U. die Speicherkapazitäten der beiden Katalysatoren 26, 27 aufgrund von Volumen- bzw. Fertigungstoleranzen unterschiedlich ausgebildet sind, oder die Rohemissionen in beiden Zylinderbankreihen 2, 4 unterschiedlich sind, kann die Speicherkapazitätsgrenze beider Katalysatoren 26, 27 zu unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkten erreicht werden. Erreicht beispielsweise der Speicherkatalysator 26 seine Kapazitätsgrenze zuerst, so erfolgt über die Zylinderbankreihe 2 nur die Regeneration dieses Katalysators 26, während die andere Zylinderbankreihe 4 noch im Magerbetrieb weiter arbeiten kann, da die Kapazitätsgrenze vom Speicherkatalysator 27 noch nicht erreicht ist.The control method for the regeneration of the storage catalytic converters 26 , 27 , which is particularly suitable for engines with gasoline direct injection, is described in more detail below. With gasoline direct injection, the fuel is injected in the compression cycle of the piston in the partial load range. However, this stratified lean operation with excess air (λ <1), which is operated in the lower speed and torque range, produces nitrogen oxides, which are stored in the storage catalytic converters 26 and 27 by means of a chemical reaction. If an increase in the NOx concentration in the storage catalytic converters 26 , 27 is detected with the aid of the NOx sensors 40 , 41 arranged at the end of the storage catalytic converters 26 , 27 , the stratified mixture preparation with an air ratio λ <1 is established with the aid of the control unit 42 a homogeneous mixture preparation with an air ratio λ <1 "switched". For this purpose, the injection timing for homogeneous operation is shifted from the compression stroke to the intake stroke. At the same time, the throttle valve located in the intake tract of the engine is set from the "open" to "partially closed" position via the control unit 42 , so that the fuel-air mixture for the regeneration of the storage catalytic converters 26 , 27 is enriched in the desired sense. Homogeneous operation with λ = 1 can be monitored using the lambda probes 36 , 37 arranged in the exhaust pipe 22 , 23 . Since u. If the storage capacities of the two catalysts 26 , 27 are designed differently due to volume or manufacturing tolerances, or the raw emissions in the two rows of cylinder banks 2 , 4 are different, the storage capacity limit of both catalysts 26 , 27 can be reached at different times. If, for example, the storage catalytic converter 26 reaches its capacity limit first, only the regeneration of this catalytic converter 26 takes place via the cylinder bank row 2 , while the other cylinder bank row 4 can continue to work in lean operation, since the capacity limit of the storage catalytic converter 27 has not yet been reached.
Sobald der "schlechtere" Speicherkatalysator 26 regeneriert ist, wird über ein Steuersignal an das Steuergerät 42 wieder für die betreffende Zylinderbankreihe 2 auf den Magerbetrieb mit einer Luftzahl λ < 1 "umgeschaltet", vorausgesetzt der Motor arbeitet weiterhin im Teillastbetrieb. Auf diese Weise kann die Speicherkapazität des "besseren" Speicherkatalysators 27 vollständig ausgeschöpft werden. Damit kann der kraftstoffsparende Magerbetrieb im Teillastbereich des Motors länger aufrechterhalten werden.As soon as the "poorer" storage catalytic converter 26 has been regenerated, a control signal to the control unit 42 again "switches" to the lean operation with an air ratio λ <1 for the relevant cylinder bank row 2 , provided that the engine continues to operate in part-load operation. In this way, the storage capacity of the “better” storage catalytic converter 27 can be fully utilized. This allows the fuel-saving lean operation in the part-load range of the engine to be maintained for longer.
Das vorgeschriebene Regelverfahren ist nicht nur für Motoren mit Benzin- Direkteinspritzung anwendbar, sondern auch bei Magermotoren mit konventioneller Saugrohreinspritzung anwendbar.The prescribed control procedure is not only for engines with petrol Direct injection applicable, but also for lean-burn engines with conventional Intake manifold injection applicable.
