Stand der TechnikState of the art
Zur Abgasnachbehandlung von Verbrennungsmotoren können SCR-Katalysatoren (selective catalytic reduction) verwendet werden. Stromaufwärts eines solchen SCR-Katalysators wird eine Harnstoffwasserlösung (HWL) in den Abgasstrang eindosiert und reagiert dort zu Ammoniak. Ammoniak reagiert im SCR-Katalysator mit Stickoxiden zu Wasser und Stickstoff. Ein Teil des Ammoniaks kann auch im SCR-Katalysator gespeichert werden.SCR catalytic converters (selective catalytic reduction) can be used to treat exhaust gases from internal combustion engines. Upstream of such an SCR catalytic converter, a urea water solution (HWL) is metered into the exhaust line and reacts there to form ammonia. In the SCR catalytic converter, ammonia reacts with nitrogen oxides to form water and nitrogen. Some of the ammonia can also be stored in the SCR catalytic converter.
Abgasnachbehandlungssysteme mit zwei hintereinander angeordneten SCR-Katalysatoren weisen zumindest ein Dosierventil stromaufwärts des ersten SCR-Katalysators und optional noch ein weiteres Dosierventil zwischen den SCR-Katalysatoren auf, um HWL in den Abgasstrang einzudosieren. Um die SCR-Reaktion zu überwachen und einen Ammoniakfüllstand der SCR-Katalysatoren zu modellieren, sind üblicherweise Stickoxidsensoren vor, zwischen und hinter den SCR-Katalysatoren im Abgasstrang angeordnet. Weiterhin können diese auch verwendet werden, um Stickoxidemissionen des Verbrennungsmotors aufzuzeichnen und zu speichern und für Auswertungen außerhalb des Kraftfahrzeugs zur Verfügung zu stellen (tailpipe monitoring). Weiterhin kann mithilfe der Stickoxidsensoren eine Manipulation der Abgasnachbehandlung erkannt werden (anti-tempering) und die Wirksamkeit des gesamten Abgasnachbehandlungssystems überwacht werden (on board monitoring; OBM) anstatt nur einzelne defekte Komponenten zu identifizieren.Exhaust aftertreatment systems with two SCR catalysts arranged one behind the other have at least one metering valve upstream of the first SCR catalyst and optionally another metering valve between the SCR catalysts in order to meter HWL into the exhaust system. In order to monitor the SCR reaction and to model an ammonia filling level of the SCR catalytic converters, nitrogen oxide sensors are usually arranged in front of, between and behind the SCR catalytic converters in the exhaust line. Furthermore, these can also be used to record and store nitrogen oxide emissions from the internal combustion engine and make them available for evaluations outside the motor vehicle (tailpipe monitoring). Furthermore, with the help of the nitrogen oxide sensors, manipulation of the exhaust aftertreatment can be detected (anti-tempering) and the effectiveness of the entire exhaust aftertreatment system can be monitored (on board monitoring; OBM) instead of just identifying individual defective components.
Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of Invention
Das Verfahren dient zum Plausibilisieren von Stickoxidsensoren eines SCR-Katalysatorsystems mit zwei SCR- Katalysatoren. Dieses weist mindestens einen ersten Stickoxidsensor auf der stromaufwärts der SCR- Katalysatoren in einem Abgasstrang insbesondere eines Kraftfahrzeugs angeordnet ist. Weiterhin weist es mindestens einen zweiten Stickoxidsensor auf, der zwischen den SCR-Katalysatoren angeordnet ist und mindestens einen dritten Stickoxidsensor, der stromabwärts der SCR-Katalysatoren angeordnet ist. Diese Stickoxidsensoren müssen in vielen Ländern aufgrund gesetzlicher Vorgaben von der On-Board-Diagnose (OBD) überwacht werden. Dies betrifft sowohl ihre Eignung zur Emissionsreduzierung in Verbindung mit den SCR-Katalysatoren als auch ihre Eignung zur Diagnose von anderen Bestandteilen der Abgasnachbehandlung.The method is used to check the plausibility of nitrogen oxide sensors in an SCR catalytic converter system with two SCR catalytic converters. This has at least one first nitrogen oxide sensor which is arranged upstream of the SCR catalytic converters in an exhaust system, in particular of a motor vehicle. Furthermore, it has at least one second nitrogen oxide sensor, which is arranged between the SCR catalytic converters, and at least one third nitrogen oxide sensor, which is arranged downstream of the SCR catalytic converters. In many countries, these nitrogen oxide sensors must be monitored by on-board diagnostics (OBD) due to legal requirements. This applies to both their suitability for reducing emissions in connection with the SCR catalytic converters and their suitability for diagnosing other components of the exhaust aftertreatment.
In dem Abgasstrang ist weiterhin ein Partikelfilter angeordnet. Dieser kann unabhängig von den SCR-Katalysatoren als separates Bauteil vorgesehen sein oder es kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass ein SCR-Katalysator auf dem Partikelfilter angeordnet ist (SCR on filter; SCRoF). Dabei ist insbesondere der von den beiden SCR-Katalysatoren weiter stromaufwärts angeordnete SCR-Katalysator auf dem Partikelfilter angeordnet.A particle filter is also arranged in the exhaust line. This can be provided as a separate component independently of the SCR catalytic converters, or it can also be provided that an SCR catalytic converter is arranged on the particle filter (SCR on filter; SCRoF). In particular, the SCR catalytic converter arranged further upstream from the two SCR catalytic converters is arranged on the particle filter.
Unabhängig davon, ob der Partikelfilter mit einem SCR-Katalysator kombiniert ist oder ein eigenes Bauteil darstellt, sieht das Verfahren vor, dass während einer Regeneration des Partikelfilters Signale des ersten Stickoxidsensors und des zweiten Stickoxidsensor miteinander plausibilisiert werden und außerhalb der Regeneration des Partikelfilters Signale des zweiten Stickoxidsensors und des dritten Stickoxidsensors miteinander plausibilisiert werden. Während des Betriebs eines Verbrennungsmotors dessen Abgas von SCR-Katalysatorsystem nachbehandelt werden soll, ist in der Regel die Temperatur des in Strömungsrichtung zweiten SCR-Katalysators geringer als die des ersten SCR-Katalysators. Je nach Betriebspunkt ist der eine oder der andere SCR-Katalysator besser zur Stickoxidkonvertierung geeignet. Insbesondere spielt die Temperatur hierbei eine große Rolle. Eine zu niedrige Temperatur behindert das Verdampfen der HWL und die Bildung von Ammoniak stromaufwärts des SCR-Katalysators sowie die SCR-Reaktion. Eine zu hohe Temperatur bewirkt ebenfalls eine Abnahme der Konvertierungsleistung, da ein großer Teil der eindosierten HWL mit Sauerstoff reagiert, anstatt Stickoxide zu reduzieren. Daher wird bei geringer Abgastemperatur verstärkt der erste SCR-Katalysator zur Stickoxidreduktion verwendet und bei hoher Abgastemperatur der zweite SCR-Katalysator. Dazu kann die Verteilung der eindosierten HWL zwischen einer Dosierstelle stromaufwärts des ersten SCR-Katalysators und einer Dosierstelle zwischen den beiden SCR-Katalysatoren variiert werden, die bis zum Verzicht auf die Dosierung an einer Dosierstelle gehen kann.Irrespective of whether the particulate filter is combined with an SCR catalytic converter or is a separate component, the method provides that signals from the first nitrogen oxide sensor and the second nitrogen oxide sensor are checked for plausibility during regeneration of the particulate filter and signals from the second outside of the regeneration of the particulate filter Nitrogen oxide sensor and the third nitrogen oxide sensor are checked for plausibility with each other. During the operation of an internal combustion engine whose exhaust gas is to be post-treated by the SCR catalytic converter system, the temperature of the second SCR catalytic converter in the direction of flow is generally lower than that of the first SCR catalytic converter. Depending on the operating point, one or the other SCR catalytic converter is better suited to converting nitrogen oxides. In particular, the temperature plays a major role here. Too low a temperature hinders the evaporation of the HWL and the formation of ammonia upstream of the SCR catalyst and the SCR reaction. Too high a temperature also causes a reduction in conversion performance, since a large proportion of the HWL that is dosed reacts with oxygen instead of reducing nitrogen oxides. Therefore, when the exhaust gas temperature is low, the first SCR catalytic converter is used to a greater extent for reducing nitrogen oxides, and when the exhaust gas temperature is high, the second SCR catalytic converter is used. For this purpose, the distribution of the HWL metered in between a metering point upstream of the first SCR catalytic converter and a metering point between the two SCR catalytic converters can be varied, which can go as far as dispensing with metering at one metering point.
Während der Regeneration des Partikelfilters wird die Temperatur des Partikelfilters, aber auch die der gesamten Abgasanlage, stark erhöht, was die zuvor beschriebenen Auswirkungen auf die Effizienz der SCR-Katalysatoren hat. Während der Regeneration wird daher üblicherweise die Dosiermenge der ersten Dosiereinrichtung stark verringert, da die Temperatur des ersten SCR-Katalysators zu hoch ist ohne effiziente Stickoxidreduzierung zu erreichen. Die Plausibilisierung während der Regeneration erfolgt demnach vorzugsweise zu einem Zeitpunkt, an dem eine Eindosierung einer Reduktionsmittellösung in den Abgasstrang stromaufwärts der SCR-Katalysatoren um einen vorgebbaren Wert gegenüber einer Eindosierung außerhalb der Regeneration verringert ist. Die Verringerung erfolgt dabei besonders bevorzugt auf eine Eindosierung von null.During the regeneration of the particle filter, the temperature of the particle filter, but also that of the entire exhaust system, increases significantly, which has the effects on the efficiency of the SCR catalytic converters described above. During regeneration, therefore, the dosage is usually the first dosing device greatly reduced, since the temperature of the first SCR catalytic converter is too high without achieving efficient nitrogen oxide reduction. The plausibility check during the regeneration is therefore preferably carried out at a point in time at which metering of a reducing agent solution into the exhaust system upstream of the SCR catalytic converters is reduced by a predefinable value compared to metering outside of the regeneration. In this case, the reduction particularly preferably takes place to a dosage of zero.
Außerhalb der Regeneration des Partikelfilters gibt es Betriebspunkte, bei denen die Dosiermenge der zweiten Dosiereinrichtung stark verringert wird, da die Temperatur des zweiten SCR-Katalysators zu niedrig ist, um eine effiziente Stickoxidreduzierung zu erreichen. Die Plausibilisierung außerhalb der Regeneration erfolgt deshalb bevorzugt zu einem Zeitpunkt, an dem eine Eindosierung einer Reduktionsmittellösung in den Abgasstrang zwischen den SCR-Katalysatoren um einen vorgebbaren Wert gegenüber einer Eindosierung während der Regeneration verringert ist. Besonders bevorzugt erfolgt eine Verringerung der Eindosierung auf null.Outside of the regeneration of the particle filter, there are operating points at which the metering quantity of the second metering device is greatly reduced because the temperature of the second SCR catalytic converter is too low to achieve efficient nitrogen oxide reduction. The plausibility check outside of the regeneration therefore preferably takes place at a point in time at which metering of a reducing agent solution into the exhaust line between the SCR catalytic converters is reduced by a predefinable value compared to metering during the regeneration. The dosage is particularly preferably reduced to zero.
In beiden Fällen wird die Eindosierung der Reduktionsmittellösung in einen der beiden SCR-Katalysatoren stark verringert oder sogar deaktiviert. Für einige Zeit nach der starken Verringerung oder Deaktivierung der Reduktionsmitteldosierung, findet im dahinter liegenden SCR-Katalysator noch eine Reaktion von Stickoxiden mit zuvor eingespeichertem Ammoniak statt. Ein elektronisches Steuergerät, mit dem die Stickoxidsensoren verbunden sind, kann den Ammoniakspeicherstand der SCR-Katalysatoren modellieren. Nachdem der Ammoniakspeicher eines SCR-Katalysators geleert ist, erfolgt nur noch eine geringe oder keine Änderung der Stickoxidkonzentration über diesen SCR-Katalysator. Die Plausibilisierung erfolgt deshalb vorzugsweise zu einem Zeitpunkt zu dem ein Ammoniakspeicherstand eines SCR-Katalysators, der zwischen den zu plausibilisierenden Stickoxidsensoren angeordnet ist unter einem Schwellenwert liegt. Das elektronische Steuergerät kann dann die Stickoxidsignale der Stickoxidsensoren in dem Teilabschnitt des Abgasstrangs, in dem keine SCR-Reaktion mehr abläuft, miteinander vergleichen und gegenseitig plausibilisieren.In both cases, the metering of the reducing agent solution into one of the two SCR catalytic converters is greatly reduced or even deactivated. For some time after the sharp reduction or deactivation of the reducing agent metering, a reaction of nitrogen oxides with previously stored ammonia takes place in the SCR catalytic converter behind it. An electronic control unit to which the nitrogen oxide sensors are connected can model the ammonia storage level of the SCR catalytic converters. After the ammonia storage of an SCR catalytic converter has been emptied, there is little or no change in the nitrogen oxide concentration via this SCR catalytic converter. The plausibility check is therefore preferably carried out at a point in time when an ammonia storage level of an SCR catalytic converter which is arranged between the nitrogen oxide sensors to be checked for plausibility is below a threshold value. The electronic control unit can then compare the nitrogen oxide signals from the nitrogen oxide sensors in the section of the exhaust system in which the SCR reaction is no longer taking place and mutually check their plausibility.
Weist das SCR-Katalysatorsystem mehrere erste Stickoxidsensoren auf, so können während einer Regeneration des Partikelfilters auch deren Signale miteinander plausibilisiert werden.If the SCR catalytic converter system has a plurality of first nitrogen oxide sensors, their signals can also be checked for plausibility with one another during regeneration of the particle filter.
Weichen bei der Plausibilisierung die Stickoxidsignale der miteinander plausibilisierten Stickoxidsensoren mindestens um eine vorgebbaren Schwellenwert voneinander ab, so kann insbesondere auch vorgesehen sein, dass das OBD-System einen Fehler erkennt, einen Fehler-Code speichert und insbesondere erst nach wiederholter Fehlererkennung eine Fehlerlampe (MIL) aktiviert. Im Rahmen der Überwachung zusätzlicher Funktionalitäten der Stickoxidsensoren können auch weitere Maßnahmen eingeleitet werden. Bei den weiteren Maßnahmen kann es sich insbesondere um die Erzeugung einer nur für eine Werkstatt sichtbaren Fehlermeldung, um eine verdeckte Fehlermeldung oder um eine Leistungsverringerung des Verbrennungsmotors (inducement) handeln. Da eine Regeneration des Partikelfilters nur selten durchgeführt wird, und die Emissionen während dieser Regeneration mittels eines Faktors abhängig von der Häufigkeit der Regeneration auf alle Fahrten umgerechnet werden, sind während den seltenen Regenerationen des Partikelfilters auch höhere Emissionen zulässig, die durch das niedrigere Niveau der Fahrten ohne Regeneration des Partikelfilters ausgeglichen werden. Dies kann auch die Plausibilisierung einschließen, die im Verlauf der Regeneration des Partikelfilters durchgeführt wird.If, during the plausibility check, the nitrogen oxide signals of the nitrogen oxide sensors that have been checked for plausibility differ from one another by at least a predeterminable threshold value, it can also be provided in particular that the OBD system detects an error, stores an error code and, in particular, only lights up a fault lamp (MIL) after repeated error detection. activated. Additional measures can also be initiated as part of the monitoring of additional functionalities of the nitrogen oxide sensors. The further measures can in particular involve the generation of an error message that is only visible to a workshop, a hidden error message or a reduction in the power of the internal combustion engine (inducement). Since the particle filter is rarely regenerated and the emissions during this regeneration are converted to all journeys using a factor depending on the frequency of regeneration, higher emissions are also permitted during the rare regeneration of the particle filter, which is caused by the lower level of journeys can be compensated for without regenerating the particle filter. This can also include the plausibility check that is carried out in the course of the regeneration of the particle filter.
