Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Regeneration eines von einem Abgas durchströmten Partikelfilters eines Kraftfahrzeugs sowie ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einem Verbrennungsmotor, einem in einer Abgasleitung des Verbrennungsmotors angeordneten Partikelfilter und einem Kohlenwasserstoffreformer gemäß dem Oberbegriff der Patentansprüche 1 bzw. 7.The invention relates to a method for regenerating a particle filter of a motor vehicle through which an exhaust gas flows and to a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine, a particle filter arranged in an exhaust line of the internal combustion engine, and a hydrocarbon reformer.
Es ist zu erwarten, dass die zukünftige Abgasgesetzgebung für Kraftfahrzeuge zumindest in der Europäischen Gemeinschaft, den USA und Japan im Hinblick auf die Partikelemission immer mehr verschärft werden wird. Zur Erfüllung weiter herabgesetzter Emissionsgrenzwerte für Partikel wird es daher erforderlich werden, das Abgas einer zusätzlichen Nachbehandlung zu unterziehen.It is expected that the future emissions legislation for motor vehicles, at least in the European Community, the USA and Japan, will be increasingly tightened in terms of particulate emissions. To meet further reduced emission limits for particles, it will therefore be necessary to subject the exhaust gas to an additional aftertreatment.
Zur Reduzierung des Ausstoßes von Dieselruß und anderen bei der Verbrennung eines Kraftstoffs im Verbrennungsmotor eines Kraftfahrzeugs entstehenden partikelförmigen Abgasbestandteilen ist es bereits seit langem bekannt, das Abgas durch einen in der Abgasleitung angeordneten Partikelfilter hindurchzuleiten. Insbesondere dann, wenn das Fahrzeug über längere Zeit im Schwachlastbereich betrieben wird, muss dieser Partikelfilter von Zeit zu Zeit regeneriert werden, wobei die vom Filter zurückgehaltenen Partikel von den Filteroberflächen entfernt werden, um eine einwandfreie Funktion des Partikelfilters über seine weitere Laufzeit zu gewährleisten. Zur Regeneration des Partikelfilters ist es erforderlich, den Filter selbst und/oder den durch den Filter hindurchtretenden Abgasstrom aufzuheizen, um die vom Filter zurückgehaltenen Partikel zu verbrennen und dabei in gasförmige Reaktionsprodukte umzuwandeln.To reduce the emission of diesel soot and other in the combustion of a fuel in the internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle resulting particulate exhaust gas components, it has long been known to pass the exhaust gas through a arranged in the exhaust pipe particulate filter. In particular, when the vehicle is operated for a long time in the low load range, this particulate filter must be regenerated from time to time, the particles retained by the filter are removed from the filter surfaces to ensure proper functioning of the particulate filter over its remaining term. To regenerate the particulate filter, it is necessary to heat the filter itself and / or the exhaust gas stream passing through the filter in order to burn the particles retained by the filter and thereby to convert them into gaseous reaction products.
Bisher bekannte Verfahren sehen dabei entweder eine langsame passive Regeneration des Partikelfilters mit NO2 durch den CRT-Effekt bei Temperaturen ab 250°C oder eine schnelle aktive thermische Regeneration durch Reaktion des Kohlenstoffrußes mit Sauerstoff ab einer Temperatur von 550°C vor, wobei sich das zuletzt genannte Verfahren auch zur Notregeneration des Filters eignet.Previously known methods provide either a slow passive regeneration of the particulate filter with NO 2 by the CRT effect at temperatures above 250 ° C or a rapid active thermal regeneration by reaction of carbon soot with oxygen from a temperature of 550 ° C, wherein the the latter method is also suitable for emergency regeneration of the filter.
Da die für diese Verfahren erforderlichen Mindesttemperaturen in der Abgasleitung eines Verbrennungsmotors jedoch vor allem im Stadtverkehr selten oder nie erreicht werden, muss eine zusätzliche Aufheizung des Filters oder des Abgases erfolgen. Diese zusätzliche Aufheizung wird bisher gewöhnlich durch einen Eingriff ins Motormanagement herbeigeführt. Dabei unterscheidet man einerseits zwischen rein motorseitigen Heizmaßnahmen in Form eines Eingriffs in den Verbrennungsablauf sowie andererseits katalytischen Heizmaßnahmen, zum Beispiel in Form einer späten Nacheinspritzung, bei der die an der Oberfläche eines Oxidationskatalysators erzeugte Wärme zur Aufheizung des Abgasstroms und zur Regeneration des nachgeschalteten Partikelfilters ausgenutzt wird.However, since the minimum temperatures required for these methods in the exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine, especially in city traffic rarely or never be achieved, an additional heating of the filter or the exhaust gas must take place. This additional heating is usually brought about by an intervention in the engine management. A distinction is made on the one hand between purely motor-side heating measures in the form of an intervention in the combustion process and on the other hand catalytic heating measures, for example in the form of a late post-injection, in which the heat generated at the surface of an oxidation catalyst for heating the exhaust stream and for the regeneration of the downstream particulate filter is utilized ,
Bei beiden Verfahren ist jedoch von Nachteil, dass sie einen erhöhten Kraftstoffverbrauch infolge eines ungünstigeren Motorbetriebs und eine mögliche Ölverdünnung durch Kraftstoffeintrag zur Folge haben.However, both methods have the disadvantage that they result in increased fuel consumption due to less favorable engine operation and possible oil dilution due to fuel input.
Grundsätzlich sind aus dem Stand der Technik die
Ausgehend hiervon liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und ein Kraftfahrzeug der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, dass eine Regeneration des Partikelfilters ohne Eingriff in das Motormanagement und ohne die damit verbundenen ungünstigen Betriebszustände des Motors ermöglicht wird.Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to improve a method and a motor vehicle of the type mentioned in that regeneration of the particulate filter without intervention in the engine management and without the associated unfavorable operating conditions of the engine is made possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass dem Abgas vor seinem Eintritt in den Partikelfilter aus einem Kohlenwasserstoffreformer ein oxidationsfähiges Reformatgas zugeführt wird, um durch eine katalytische Oxidation des Reformatgases die zu regenerierende Rußschicht an der Oberfläche des Partikelfilters direkt oder indirekt durch Aufheizung des Abgases auf die für eine aktive thermische Regeneration erforderlichen Temperaturen zu erhitzen.This object is achieved in that the exhaust gas before its entry into the particulate filter from a hydrocarbon reformer oxidative reformat gas is supplied to the regenerated by a catalytic oxidation of the reformate soot layer on the surface of the particulate filter directly or indirectly by heating the exhaust gas on the to heat for an active thermal regeneration required temperatures.
Der verhältnismäßig hohe Brennwert des Reformatgases und die niedrigen Zündtemperaturen des im Reformatgas enthaltenen Wasserstoffs H2 und Kohlenmonoxids CO führen bereits bei niedrigen Temperaturen zu einem sehr schnellen Einsetzen der katalytischen oxidativen Umsetzung des Reformatgases und damit zu einer schnellen Aufheizung des Partikelfilters bzw. des diesen durchströmenden Abgases und somit zu einer schnellen Einleitung der Regeneration, bei der die im Partikelfilter abgeschiedenen Partikel oxidiert und in gasförmige Reaktionsprodukte umgesetzt werden.The relatively high calorific value of the reformate gas and the low ignition temperatures of the hydrogen contained in the reformate H 2 and carbon monoxide CO already at low temperatures to a very rapid onset of catalytic oxidative conversion of the reformate gas and thus to rapid heating of the particulate filter or the exhaust gas flowing through it and thus to a rapid initiation of the regeneration, in which the particles deposited in the particle filter are oxidized and converted into gaseous reaction products.
Da die Zufuhr von Reformatgas von der jeweiligen Betriebsweise des Verbrennungsmotors unabhängig ist, lässt sich zudem die Regeneration des Partikelfilters vollständig vom Motorbetrieb entkoppeln, wodurch ein Eingriff in das Motormanagement zur Filterregeneration vermieden und dieses dadurch vereinfacht wird. Außerdem kann der Kraftstoffverbrauch insgesamt verringert werden.In addition, since the supply of reformate gas is independent of the particular mode of operation of the internal combustion engine, the regeneration of the particulate filter can be completely decoupled from engine operation, thereby avoiding intervention in the engine management for filter regeneration, thereby simplifying it. In addition, the overall fuel consumption can be reduced.
Die katalytische Oxidation des Reformatgases kann in einem vor dem Partikelfilter in der Abgasleitung des Verbrennungsmotors angeordneten Oxidationskatalysator oder vorzugsweise innerhalb des katalytisch beschichteten Partikelfilters selbst erfolgen, um eine hohe thermische Belastung des Oxidationskatalysators zu vermeiden. Im zuerst genannten Fall wird das Reformatgas dem Abgas zweckmäßig vor dessen Eintritt in den in der Abgasleitung angeordneten Oxidationskatalysator zugeführt, um es innerhalb des Oxidationskatalysators zu oxidieren und so den Abgasstrom auf die für eine aktive thermische Regeneration erforderlichen Temperaturen von mehr als 550°C zu erhitzen, bei denen die im Partikelfilter abgeschiedenen Rußpartikel unter Bildung gasförmiger Reaktionsprodukte mit dem Restsauerstoff im aufgeheizten Abgas reagieren.The catalytic oxidation of the reformate gas can be arranged in a front of the particulate filter in the exhaust pipe of the internal combustion engine Oxidation catalyst or preferably within the catalytically coated particulate filter itself to avoid high thermal stress of the oxidation catalyst. In the former case, the reformate gas is expediently supplied to the exhaust gas prior to its entry into the oxidation catalyst disposed in the exhaust conduit to oxidize it within the oxidation catalyst to heat the exhaust stream to the temperatures of more than 550 ° C required for active thermal regeneration in which the soot particles deposited in the particle filter react with the residual oxygen in the heated exhaust gas to form gaseous reaction products.
Im zuletzt genannten Fall wird das Reformatgas dem Abgas zweckmäßig nach dessen Austritt aus dem Oxidationskatalysator zugeführt und vorzugsweise kurz vor dem Partikelfilter in die Abgasleitung eingespeist, um Wärmeverluste zu minimieren.In the last-mentioned case, the reformate gas is expediently fed to the exhaust gas after it leaves the oxidation catalytic converter and is preferably fed into the exhaust gas line shortly before the particle filter in order to minimize heat losses.
Wenn, wie bei manchen Kraftfahrzeugen, in der Abgasleitung zwei Oxidationskatalysatoren vorhanden sind, von denen einer in der Nähe des Verbrennungsmotors angeordnet ist, um eine hohe Abgaseintrittstemperatur sicherzustellen, wird das Reformatgas dem Abgas zweckmäßig nach seinem Austritt aus dem ersten und vor seinem Eintritt in den zweiten Oxidationskatalysator zugeführt.If, as in some motor vehicles, in the exhaust pipe two oxidation catalysts are present, one of which is located in the vicinity of the internal combustion engine to ensure a high exhaust gas inlet temperature, the reformate gas is the exhaust gas after its exit from the first and before entering the supplied to the second oxidation catalyst.
Der Kohlenwasserstoffreformer, aus dem das zur Regeneration des Partikelfilters verwendete Reformatgas stammt, kann eine unabhängige Komponente sein, die nur das zur Regeneration des Partikelfilters und ggf. das beim Start des Verbrennungsmotors zur Aufheizung des Oxidationskatalysators erforderliche Reformatgas erzeugt und daher ohne eine nachgeschaltete Gasreinigungseinheit auskommt. Vorzugsweise ist er jedoch Teil eines Brennstoffzellensystems des Kraftfahrzeugs, das die zum Betrieb verschiedener Verbraucher des Fahrzeugs benötigte elektrische Energie erzeugt.The hydrocarbon reformer, from which the reformate gas used for the regeneration of the particulate filter originates, may be an independent component which generates only the reformate gas required for regeneration of the particulate filter and possibly the reforming gas required to heat the oxidation catalyst and therefore does not require a downstream gas purification unit. Preferably, however, it is part of a fuel cell system of the motor vehicle, which generates the electrical energy required to operate various consumers of the vehicle.
In beiden Fällen wird im Reformer vorzugsweise der zum Betrieb des Verbrennungsmotors eingesetzte Kraftstoff umgesetzt. Während das dabei erzeugte Reformatgas aus einer unabhängigen Komponente direkt in die Abgasleitung zugeführt wird, wird es aus einem Brennstoffzellensystem vorzugsweise zwischen dem Reformer und einem Brennstoffzellenstapel abgezweigt, wobei die Entnahme vor oder hinter einer Gasreinigungseinheit erfolgen kann, sofern das Brennstoffzellensystem mit einer solchen Einheit ausgestattet ist. Alternativ ist es jedoch auch möglich, abgereichertes Reformatgas in Form von Anodenrestgas hinter dem Brennstoffzellenstapel abzuzweigen und in die Abgasleitung zuzuführen.In both cases, the fuel used to operate the internal combustion engine is preferably converted in the reformer. While the reformate gas thus generated from an independent component is fed directly into the exhaust pipe, it is preferably branched off from a fuel cell system between the reformer and a fuel cell stack, the removal can be done in front of or behind a gas cleaning unit, if the fuel cell system is equipped with such a unit , Alternatively, it is also possible to divert depleted reformate gas in the form of anode residual gas behind the fuel cell stack and feed it into the exhaust pipe.
