Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Dosiersystems für die Reduktionsmittellösung einer SCR-Katalysatoreinrichtung in dem Abgasstrang einer Brennkraftmaschine, wobei das Dosiersystem wenigstens ein kühlbares Dosiermodul umfasst, das an einen Kühlmittelkreislauf, insbesondere an einen Kühlwasserkreislauf, angeschlossen ist. The present invention relates to a method for operating a metering system for the reducing agent solution of an SCR catalyst device in the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, wherein the metering system comprises at least one coolable metering module, which is connected to a coolant circuit, in particular to a cooling water circuit.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Es sind Verfahren und Vorrichtungen zum Betreiben einer Brennkraftmaschine insbesondere bei Kraftfahrzeugen bekannt, in deren Abgasbereich ein SCR-Katalysator (Selective Catalytic Reduction) angeordnet ist, der die im Abgas der Brennkraftmaschine enthaltenen Stickoxide (NOx) in Gegenwart eines Reduktionsmittels zu Stickstoff reduziert. Methods and apparatuses for operating an internal combustion engine, in particular in motor vehicles, are known, in the exhaust gas region of which an SCR catalytic converter (selective catalytic reduction) is arranged, which reduces the nitrogen oxides (NO x ) contained in the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine to nitrogen in the presence of a reducing agent.
Das Grundprinzip eines SCR-Katalysators besteht darin, dass Stickoxidmoleküle auf der Katalysatoroberfläche bei Vorhandensein von NH3 als Reduktionsmittel zu elementarem Stickstoff reduziert werden. Das erforderliche Reduktionsmittel wird üblicherweise in Form einer wässrigen Harnstofflösung in den Abgasstrang eindosiert. Hierfür ist eine Dosiereinrichtung bzw. ein Dosiersystem mit einem Dosiermodul vorgesehen, das die erforderliche Reduktionsmittellösung stromaufwärts des SCR-Katalysators in den Abgasstrang eindosiert. The basic principle of an SCR catalyst is that nitrogen oxide molecules are reduced on the catalyst surface in the presence of NH 3 as a reducing agent to elemental nitrogen. The required reducing agent is usually metered into the exhaust gas line in the form of an aqueous urea solution. For this purpose, a metering device or a metering system with a metering module is provided, which meters the required reducing agent solution upstream of the SCR catalytic converter into the exhaust gas line.
Das Dosiermodul kann abhängig vom Einbauort in dem Abgasstrang hohen Temperaturen ausgesetzt sein, die das Bauteil schädigen oder es sogar zum Ausfall bringen können. Zur Reduzierung dieser thermischen Belastung sind im Prinzip zwei unterschiedliche Kühlungskonzepte für das Dosiermodul bekannt. Zum Einen werden rein luftgekühlte Dosiermodule verwendet. Zum anderen kommen Dosiermodule mit einer Wasserkühlung zum Einsatz, wobei diese Dosiermodule an einen im Kraftfahrzeug vorhandenen Kühlwasserkreislauf angeschlossen sind. Basierend auf einem Temperaturmodell für die Spitze des Dosierventils, das sich in dem Dosiermodul befindet, kann das Dosiermodul unter bestimmten Betriebsbedingungen durch Anforderung von Mindestdosiermengen des flüssigen Reduktionsmittels zusätzlich gekühlt werden. Während bei einem luftgekühlten Dosiermodul eine aktiv gesteuerte Kühlung nur durch diese Anforderung von Mindestdosiermengen des Reduktionsmittels bei laufendem Motor möglich ist, kann bei einem wassergekühlten Dosiermodul die Kühlung auch durch Anforderung einer spezifischen Kühlleistung des Kühlkreislaufs aktiv beeinflusst werden. Die Temperatur des Kühlmittels (Kühlwasser) beim Eintritt in das Dosiermodul ist in der Regel jedoch nicht genau bekannt. Als Ersatzgrößen werden hierfür Temperaturmessgrößen verwendet, die weit entfernt vom Dosiermodul erfasst werden. Depending on the installation location in the exhaust gas line, the dosing module can be exposed to high temperatures which can damage the component or even lead to failure. In principle, two different cooling concepts for the metering module are known for reducing this thermal load. On the one hand, air-cooled dosing modules are used. On the other hand, dosing modules with water cooling are used, these dosing modules being connected to a cooling water circuit present in the motor vehicle. Based on a temperature model for the tip of the metering valve located in the metering module, the metering module can be additionally cooled under certain operating conditions by requesting minimum metering amounts of the liquid reducing agent. While in an air-cooled dosing an actively controlled cooling is possible only by this requirement of Mindestdosiermengen the reducing agent with the engine running, in a water-cooled metering the cooling can be actively influenced by requesting a specific cooling capacity of the cooling circuit. However, the temperature of the coolant (cooling water) entering the dosing module is generally not known exactly. As a substitute variables temperature measurements are used, which are detected far away from the dosing.

Vorteile der Erfindung Advantages of the invention
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren geht von einem Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Dosiersystems für die Reduktionsmittellösung einer SCR-Katalysatoreinrichtung im Abgasstrang einer Brennkraftmaschine aus, wobei das Dosiersystem wenigstens ein kühlbares Dosiermodul umfasst, das an einen Kühlmittelkreislauf, insbesondere an einen Kühlwasserkreislauf, angeschlossen ist. Eine Hauptfunktion dieses Kühlwasserkreislaufes kann beispielsweise die Kühlung der Brennkraftmaschine sein. Die Kühlung des Dosiermoduls, die zur Vermeidung von Hitzeschäden am Dosiermodul erforderlich ist, erfolgt durch Anforderung einer Kühlleistung des Kühlmittelkreislaufes. Erfindungsgemäß wird bei der Anforderung der Kühlleistung die Temperatur des Kühlmittels berücksichtigt, wobei die Temperatur des Kühlmittels im Bereich des Eintritts in das Dosiermodul auf der Basis eines Modells bestimmt wird. Die Erfindung geht hierbei davon aus, dass an dieser Stelle, also im Bereich des Dosiermoduls, keine Temperaturmessstelle für das Kühlmittel vorhanden ist. Für eine bedarfsgerechte Anforderung einer Kühlleistung wird die Temperatur des Kühlmittels im Bereich des Eintritts in das Dosiermodul auf der Basis eines Modells bestimmt, wobei in das Modell wenigstens eine Information zur Temperatur des Kühlmittels fern des Dosiermoduls und wenigstens eine Information zur Temperatur im Bereich des Dosiermoduls einfließen. Diese Modellierung basiert darauf, dass die Temperatur des Kühlmittels beim Eintritt in das Dosiermodul zwischen zwei Grenzwerten liegt. Der eine Grenzwert wird von einem weiter entfernt messbaren oder anderweitig erfassbaren Temperaturwert des Kühlmittels, beispielsweise im Bereich der Kühlmittelpumpe, bestimmt. Der andere Grenzwert wird von einem Temperaturwert am Dosiermodul bestimmt. Durch eine geeignete Berechnung der Temperatur zwischen diesen beiden Grenzwerten kann erfindungsgemäß die Temperatur des Kühlmittels beim Eintritt in das Dosiermodul näherungsweise ermittelt werden und für eine bedarfsgerechte Anforderung einer Kühlleistung herangezogen werden. Bei herkömmlichen Verfahren wird in der Regel nur eine Temperaturmessgröße für das Kühlmittel berücksichtigt, die entfernt von dem Dosiermodul erfasst wird, beispielsweise im Bereich der Kühlmittelpumpe. Eine thermische Beeinflussung des Kühlmittels auf dem Weg von der Temperaturmessstelle bis zum Dosiermodul bleibt hierbei unberücksichtigt. Da sich die Temperatur des Kühlmittels auf diesem Weg erheblich ändern kann, ist eine Kühlleistungsanforderung auf der Basis dieses ausschließlich fernab des Dosiermoduls gemessenen Temperaturwertes des Kühlmittels nicht bedarfsgerecht. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Modellierung des Temperaturwertes für das Kühlmittel im Bereich des Dosiermoduls kann daher die Anforderung einer spezifischen Kühlleistung in einer bedarfsgerechten Weise erfolgen, die an die jeweiligen herrschenden Bedingungen genau angepasst ist. The inventive method is based on a method for operating a metering system for the reducing agent solution of an SCR catalyst device in the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, wherein the metering comprises at least one coolable metering module which is connected to a coolant circuit, in particular to a cooling water circuit. A main function of this cooling water circuit may be, for example, the cooling of the internal combustion engine. The cooling of the dosing, which is required to prevent heat damage to the dosing, is done by requesting a cooling capacity of the coolant circuit. According to the invention, the temperature of the coolant is taken into account when requesting the cooling power, wherein the temperature of the coolant in the region of entry into the metering module is determined on the basis of a model. The invention is based on the assumption that there is no temperature measuring point for the coolant at this point, ie in the region of the dosing module. For a needs-based requirement of cooling capacity the temperature of the coolant in the region of entry into the metering module is determined on the basis of a model, wherein at least information about the temperature of the coolant remote from the metering module and at least information about the temperature in the area of the metering module are included in the model. This modeling is based on the fact that the temperature of the coolant when entering the metering module is between two limits. The one limit value is determined by a further measurable or otherwise detectable temperature value of the coolant, for example in the region of the coolant pump. The other limit value is determined by a temperature value at the dosing module. By a suitable calculation of the temperature between these two limit values, according to the invention, the temperature of the coolant when entering the metering module can be approximately determined and used for a demand-oriented request of a cooling capacity. In conventional methods, only one temperature measurement variable for the coolant, which is detected remotely from the dosing module, is taken into account, for example in the region of the coolant pump. A thermal influence of the coolant on the way from the temperature measuring point to the metering remains unconsidered here. Since the temperature of the coolant can change significantly in this way, a cooling power requirement on the basis of this measured only far away from the dosing module temperature value of the coolant is not appropriate. Due to the modeling according to the invention of the temperature value for the coolant in the area of the dosing module, it is therefore possible to demand a specific cooling capacity in a demand-oriented manner which is precisely adapted to the prevailing conditions.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird die Information zur Temperatur des Kühlmittels fern des Dosiermoduls vorzugsweise von einem Messwert eines Kühlmitteltemperatursensors, der sich fern des Dosiermoduls befindet, oder von einem Ersatzwert für einen solchen Kühlmitteltemperatursensor fern des Dosiermoduls abgeleitet. Der Temperatursensor kann dabei beispielsweise am Ausgang des Kühlers (z. B. Wasserkühler) des Verbrennungsmotors sitzen, in dessen Kühlkreislauf das Dosiermodul integriert ist. Es sind auch Kühlkreisläufe ohne Temperatursensor möglich. In diesen Fällen kann als Temperaturgröße ersatzweise der Wert eines anderen Sensors verwendet werden, der mit der Temperatur des Kühlkreislaufs korreliert. Beispielsweise kann das Dosiermodul in den Kühlkreislauf der Ansaugluft integriert sein, wobei als Ersatzgröße für die Temperatur im Kühlkreislauf die gemessene Umgebungstemperatur verwendet werden kann. Bei dem Ersatzwert für einen Kühlmitteltemperatursensorwert kann es sich beispielsweise auch um einen modellierten Wert handeln, der in an sich bekannter Weise als Temperaturwert eines Kühlmittels berechnet wird. In the method according to the invention, the information on the temperature of the coolant remote from the metering module is preferably derived from a measured value of a coolant temperature sensor located far away from the metering module or from a substitute value for such a coolant temperature sensor remote from the metering module. The temperature sensor can be located, for example, at the outlet of the cooler (eg water cooler) of the internal combustion engine, in the cooling circuit of which the dosing module is integrated. There are also cooling circuits without temperature sensor possible. In these cases, the temperature value can be replaced by the value of another sensor, which correlates with the temperature of the cooling circuit. For example, the metering module can be integrated into the cooling circuit of the intake air, wherein the measured ambient temperature can be used as a substitute variable for the temperature in the cooling circuit. The substitute value for a coolant temperature sensor value may, for example, also be a modeled value, which is calculated in a manner known per se as the temperature value of a coolant.
Bei der Information zur Temperatur im Bereich des Dosiermoduls handelt es sich vorzugsweise um einen Temperaturwert am Dosiermodul selbst. In der Regel umfasst das Dosiermodul ein elektrisch ansteuerbares Dosierventil, sodass beispielsweise der Temperaturwert einer Magnetspule, also der Spulentemperaturwert, zur diesem Zweck eingesetzt werden kann. Der Spulentemperaturwert kann in an sich bekannter Weise aus dem Widerstand und dem Strom während einer aktiven Bestromung des Dosierventils innerhalb des Dosiermoduls bestimmt werden.The information about the temperature in the region of the dosing module is preferably a temperature value on the dosing module itself. As a rule, the dosing module comprises an electrically controllable dosing valve so that, for example, the temperature value of a magnetic coil, ie the coil temperature value, can be used for this purpose. The coil temperature value can be determined in a manner known per se from the resistance and the current during active energization of the metering valve within the metering module.
Bevorzugterweise fließt in das Modell zur Berechnung der Kühlmitteltemperatur im Bereich des Dosiermoduls weiterhin wenigstens eine Information zur aktuellen Förderleistung der Kühlmittelpumpe im Kühlmittelkreislauf ein. Preferably, at least one piece of information about the current delivery rate of the coolant pump in the coolant circuit continues to flow into the model for calculating the coolant temperature in the region of the metering module.
In besonders bevorzugter Weise basiert das Modell zur Modellierung der Kühlwassertemperatur bei Eintritt in das Dosiermodul auf einer linearen Interpolation zwischen der Information zur Temperatur des Kühlmittels fern des Dosiermoduls und der Information zur Temperatur im Bereich des Dosiermoduls. Insbesondere kann die lineare Interpolation anhand eines Interpolationsfaktors erfolgen. In besonders bevorzugter Weise fließt in die Berechnung dieses Interpolationsfaktors weiterhin eine Information zur aktuellen Förderleistung der Kühlmittelpumpe ein. Weiterhin kann bei der Ermittlung des Interpolationsfaktors eine Filterung und/oder Glättung erfolgen. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the model for modeling the cooling water temperature when entering the metering module is based on a linear interpolation between the information on the temperature of the coolant remote from the metering module and the information about the temperature in the region of the metering module. In particular, the linear interpolation can take place on the basis of an interpolation factor. In a particularly preferred manner, information about the current delivery rate of the coolant pump continues to flow into the calculation of this interpolation factor. Furthermore, filtering and / or smoothing can take place when determining the interpolation factor.
Die Erfindung umfasst darüber hinaus ein Computerprogramm, das zur Durchführung der beschriebenen Schritte des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens eingerichtet ist. Schließlich umfasst die Erfindung ein maschinenlesbares Speichermedium, auf welchem ein derartiges Computerprogramm gespeichert ist, sowie ein elektronisches Steuergerät, das zur Durchführung der Schritte des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens eingerichtet ist. Die Implementierung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens als Computerprogramm bzw. als maschinenlesbares Speichermedium oder als elektronisches Steuergerät hat den besonderen Vorteil, dass das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren damit auch bei bestehenden Kraftfahrzeugen eingesetzt werden kann, um so die Kühlung des Dosiermoduls für das SCR-System zur optimieren. The invention also includes a computer program which is set up to carry out the described steps of the method according to the invention. Finally, the invention comprises a machine-readable storage medium, on which such a computer program is stored, as well as an electronic control device, which is set up to carry out the steps of the method according to the invention. The implementation of the method according to the invention as a computer program or as a machine-readable storage medium or as an electronic control unit has the particular advantage that the method according to the invention can thus also be used in existing motor vehicles in order to optimize the cooling of the metering module for the SCR system.
