Definitions
- the invention relates to a burner for generating the heat required for the thermal regeneration of particle filters for diesel engine exhaust gas.
- the exhaust gas from diesel engines contains particles that mainly consist of soot. Efforts are being made to realistically find feasible ways to retain these particles before the diesel engine exhaust gas is blown outside, and the most promising way to do this is to use particle filters in the exhaust pipe of the diesel engine in question. It has been shown, however, that the particle filters become clogged more and more after a relatively short operating time of the diesel engine, so that the particle filters have to be freed from the particles contained therein at relatively short time intervals.
- the thermal regeneration of particle filters is known, in each case for a regeneration phase the temperature on the particle filter is increased by the supply of heat from a burner, that is to say brought to at least 650-700 ° C. as a rule, so that the particles held in the particle filter burn off.
- burners for the thermal regeneration of particle filters are problematic.
- a particular difficulty is that during the regeneration phase the burners generally have to generate a very different amount of heat per unit of time, which essentially depends on the amount of exhaust gas just occurring per unit of time and the temperature of the exhaust gas in the area of the particle filter, the amount of exhaust gas per unit of time in turn essentially depends on the current speed of the diesel engine.
- Another difficulty is that, at least at certain times during the regeneration phase, the burner must generate very large amounts of heat.
- large-volume diesel engines such as those e.g. are installed in trucks or buses, especially since the burner should also be as compact and space-saving as possible.
- the invention has for its object to provide a burner for generating the heat required for the thermal regeneration of particle filters for diesel engine exhaust gas, the heating power can be controlled in a very wide range and which has a high maximum heating power with a compact structure.
- a - preferably controllable - basic heating output is generated in the pre-combustion chamber, and the base heating output and the circumference of the main combustion chamber are generated by the basic heating output brought to high temperatures, or kept.

- the burner according to the invention is primarily intended for the so-called full-flow regeneration of particle filters.
- the full-flow regeneration takes place during the operation of the diesel engine, the burner regulatingly generating so much heat that the exhaust gas has such a high temperature when it enters the particle filter that the particle filter is thermally regenerated.
- the combustion air supply opening of the main combustion chamber and / or the combustion air supply opening of the pre-combustion chamber are preferably each connected to a combustion air blower or to a common combustion air blower. It is also preferred that these combustion air blowers or this common combustion air blower are designed so that the air delivery quantity per unit of time is a function of the speed of the diesel engine, to which the particle filter to be regenerated is assigned, so that the air delivery quantity is greater at a higher speed of the diesel engine and Conversely, an essentially existing proportionality between the speed of the diesel engine and the (respective) air delivery quantity is preferred. This dependency of the air delivery quantity on the diesel engine speed can be achieved, for example, by a variable speed fan, which can be driven mechanically by the diesel engine. Another possibility is to provide electrical, speed-adjustable fans. Yet another possibility is to provide a point with a controllably variable flow cross-section somewhere in the flow path of the combustion air from the (respective) combustion air blower to the respective combustion air supply opening.
- the fuel supply opening of the main combustion chamber and / or the fuel supply opening of the pre-combustion chamber is preferably connected to a separate device or to a common device for supplying fuel with pressure or almost without pressure.
- This device is preferably a mechanically driven by the diesel engine or an electrically driven fuel pump.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Brenner zur Erzeugung der für die thermische Regeneration von Partikelfiltern für Dieselmotorenabgas erforderlichen Wärme.The invention relates to a burner for generating the heat required for the thermal regeneration of particle filters for diesel engine exhaust gas.
Das Abgas von Dieselmotoren enthält bekanntlich Partikel, die hauptsächlich aus Ruß bestehen. Man ist bestrebt, realistisch gangbare Wege zu finden, diese Partikel zurückzuhalten, ehe das Dieselmotorenabgas ins Freie geblasen wird, und der Erfolg versprechendste Weg hierzu sind Partikelfilter in der Abgasleitung des betreffenden Dieselmotors. Es hat sich aber gezeigt, daß sich die Partikelfilter schon nach relativ kurzer Betriebszeit des Dieselmotors mehr und mehr zusetzen, so daß die Partikelfilter in relativ kurzen Zeitabständen von den darin festgehaltenen Partikeln wieder befreit werden müssen. Zu diesem Zweck ist die thermische Regeneration von Partikelfiltern bekannt, bei der jeweils für eine Regenerationsphase die Temperatur am Partikelfilter durch Wärmezufuhr von einem Brenner soweit gesteigert wird, d.h. auf in der Regel mindestens 650-700 °C gebracht wird, daß die im Partikelfilter festgehaltenen Partikel abbrennen.As is well known, the exhaust gas from diesel engines contains particles that mainly consist of soot. Efforts are being made to realistically find feasible ways to retain these particles before the diesel engine exhaust gas is blown outside, and the most promising way to do this is to use particle filters in the exhaust pipe of the diesel engine in question. It has been shown, however, that the particle filters become clogged more and more after a relatively short operating time of the diesel engine, so that the particle filters have to be freed from the particles contained therein at relatively short time intervals. For this purpose, the thermal regeneration of particle filters is known, in each case for a regeneration phase the temperature on the particle filter is increased by the supply of heat from a burner, that is to say brought to at least 650-700 ° C. as a rule, so that the particles held in the particle filter burn off.
Die technisch möglichst günstige Gestaltung von Brennern für die thermische Regeneration von Partikelfiltern ist problematisch. Eine besondere Schwierigkeit besteht darin, daß die Brenner während der Regenerationsphase in der Regel eine stark unterschiedliche Wärmemenge pro Zeiteinheit erzeugen müssen, die im wesentlichen von der gerade anfallenden Abgasmenge pro Zeiteinheit und der Temperatur des Abgases im Bereich des Partikelfilters abhängt, wobei die Abgasmenge pro Zeiteinheit ihrerseits im wesentlichen von der momentanen Drehzahl des Dieselmotors abhängt. Eine weitere Schwierigkeit besteht darin, daß zumindest zu gewissen Zeiten während der Regenerierrungsphase die Erzeugung sehr großer Wärmemengen durch den Brenner erforderlich ist. Die angeführten Schwierigkeiten sind besonders ausgeprägt bei großvolumigen Dieselmotoren, wie sie z.B. in Lastkraftwagen oder Omnibussen eingebaut sind, zumal der Brenner auch noch möglichst kompakt und platzsparend sein soll.The technically most favorable design of burners for the thermal regeneration of particle filters is problematic. A particular difficulty is that during the regeneration phase the burners generally have to generate a very different amount of heat per unit of time, which essentially depends on the amount of exhaust gas just occurring per unit of time and the temperature of the exhaust gas in the area of the particle filter, the amount of exhaust gas per unit of time in turn essentially depends on the current speed of the diesel engine. Another difficulty is that, at least at certain times during the regeneration phase, the burner must generate very large amounts of heat. The difficulties mentioned are particularly pronounced in large-volume diesel engines, such as those e.g. are installed in trucks or buses, especially since the burner should also be as compact and space-saving as possible.
Die Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Brenner zur Erzeugung der für die thermische Regeneration von Partikelfiltern für Dieselmotorenabgas erforderlichen Wärme zu schaffen, dessen Heizleistung sich in einem sehr weiten Bereich regeln läßt und der bei kompaktem Aufbau eine hohe Maximal-Heizleistung hat.The invention has for its object to provide a burner for generating the heat required for the thermal regeneration of particle filters for diesel engine exhaust gas, the heating power can be controlled in a very wide range and which has a high maximum heating power with a compact structure.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist der Brenner erfindungsgemäß dadurch gekennzeichnet,
- (a) daß er eine Hauptbrennkammer aufweist, in deren Umfangswand eine Brennstoff-Zuführöffnung für eine Brennstoff-Hauptmenge und eine Verbrennungsluft-Zuführöffnung für eine Verbrennungsluft-Hauptmenge vorgesehen sind;
- (b) daß an dem Brennkammerboden der Hauptbrennkammer eine Vorbrennkammer angesetzt ist;
- (c) daß an der Umfangswand der Vorbrennkammer ein fortragender, hohler Stutzen vorgesehen ist, in dem eine elektrische Zündeinrichtung angeordnet ist und der eine Brennstoff-Zuführöffnung für eine Brennstoff-Grundmenge aufweist; und
- (d) daß in der Umfangswand der Vorbrennkammer eine Verbrennungsluft-Zuführöffnung für eine Verbrennungsluft-Grundmenge vorgesehen ist.
- (a) that it has a main combustion chamber, in the peripheral wall of which a fuel supply opening for a main fuel quantity and a combustion air supply opening for a main combustion air quantity are provided;
- (b) that a pre-combustion chamber is attached to the combustion chamber bottom of the main combustion chamber;
- (c) that on the circumferential wall of the pre-combustion chamber a supporting, hollow connection piece is provided, in which an electrical ignition device is arranged and which has a fuel supply opening for a basic fuel quantity; and
- (d) that a combustion air supply opening for a basic combustion air quantity is provided in the peripheral wall of the pre-combustion chamber.
In der Vorbrennkammer wird eine - vorzugsweise regelbare - Grund-Heizleistung erzeugt, und durch die Grund-Heizleistung werden der Brennkammerboden und die Umfangs- der Hauptbrennkammer
auf hohe Temperaturen gebracht, bzw. gehalten. Die Hauptbrennkammer weist keine eigene elektrische
Zündeinrichtung auf. Vielmehr entzündet sich das Brennstoff-Luft-Gemisch der Hauptbrennkammer an deren heißem Brennkammerboden. Infolgedessen können die Brennstoffzufuhr und die Verbrennungsluftzufuhr zu der Hauptbrennkammer in weiten Bereichen variiert werden, so daß sich insgesamt ein extrem großer Heizleistungsregelbereich es Brenners ergibt.A - preferably controllable - basic heating output is generated in the pre-combustion chamber, and the base heating output and the circumference of the main combustion chamber are generated by the basic heating output
brought to high temperatures, or kept. The main combustion chamber does not have its own electrical system
Ignition device on. Rather, the fuel-air mixture of the main combustion chamber ignites on its hot combustion chamber floor. As a result, the fuel supply and the combustion air supply to the main combustion chamber can be varied within a wide range, so that there is an extremely large heating output control range for the burner overall.
Der erfindungsgemäße Brenner ist in erster Linie für die sogenannte Vollstrom-Regeneration von Partikelfiltern vorgesehen. Die Vollstrom-Regeneration erfolgt während des Betriebs des Dieselmotors, wobei der Brenner geregelt soviel Wärme erzeugt, daß das Abgas beim Eintritt in den Partikelfilter eine so hohe Temperatur hat, daß der Partikelfilter thermisch regeneriert wird.The burner according to the invention is primarily intended for the so-called full-flow regeneration of particle filters. The full-flow regeneration takes place during the operation of the diesel engine, the burner regulatingly generating so much heat that the exhaust gas has such a high temperature when it enters the particle filter that the particle filter is thermally regenerated.
Vorzugsweise ist die Verbrennungsluft-Zuführöffnung der Hauptbrennkammer und/oder die Verbrennungsluft-Zuführöffnung der Vorbrennkammer jeweils an ein Verbrennungsluftgebläse oder an ein gemeinsames Verbrennungsluftgebläse angeschlossen. Es ist darüber hinaus bevorzugt, daß diese Verbrennungsluftgebläse bzw. dieses gemeinsame Verbrennungsluftgebläse so ausgelegt sind, daß die Luftliefermenge pro Zeiteinheit eine Funktion der Drehzahl des Dieselmotors ist, dem der zu regenerierende Partikelfilter zugeordnet ist, so daß bei höherer Drehzahl des Dieselmotors die Luftliefermenge größer ist und
umgekehrt, wobei eine im wesentlichen vorhandene Proportionalität zwischen der Drehzahl des Dieselmotors und der (jeweiligen) Luftliefermenge bevorzugt ist. Diese Abhängigkeit der Luftliefermenge von der Dieselmotorendrehzahl kann man z.B. durch ein Gebläse variabler Drehzahl, das insbesondere mechanisch von dem Dieselmotor angetrieben sein kann, verwirklichen. Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, elektrische, drehzahlregelbare Gebläse vorzusehen. Noch eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, irgendwo in dem Strömungsweg der Verbrennungsluft von dem (jeweiligen) Verbrennungsluftgebläse zu der jeweiligen Verbrennungsluft-Zuführöffnung eine Stelle mit steuerbar variablem Strömungsquerschnitt vorzusehen.The combustion air supply opening of the main combustion chamber and / or the combustion air supply opening of the pre-combustion chamber are preferably each connected to a combustion air blower or to a common combustion air blower. It is also preferred that these combustion air blowers or this common combustion air blower are designed so that the air delivery quantity per unit of time is a function of the speed of the diesel engine, to which the particle filter to be regenerated is assigned, so that the air delivery quantity is greater at a higher speed of the diesel engine and
Conversely, an essentially existing proportionality between the speed of the diesel engine and the (respective) air delivery quantity is preferred. This dependency of the air delivery quantity on the diesel engine speed can be achieved, for example, by a variable speed fan, which can be driven mechanically by the diesel engine. Another possibility is to provide electrical, speed-adjustable fans. Yet another possibility is to provide a point with a controllably variable flow cross-section somewhere in the flow path of the combustion air from the (respective) combustion air blower to the respective combustion air supply opening.
Vorzugsweise ist die Brennstoff-Zuführöffnung der Hauptbrennkammer und/oder die Brennstoff-Zuführöffnung der Vorbrennkammer an jeweils eine eigene oder an eine gemeinsame Einrichtung zum Zuführen von Brennstoff mit Druck oder auch nahezu drucklos angeschlossen. Diese Einrichtung ist vorzugsweise eine mechanisch von dem Dieselmotor oder eine elektrisch angetriebene Brennstoffpumpe. Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt, diese Einrichtung so auszulegen, daß die Brennstoffliefermenge
pro Zeiteinheit eine Funktion der Dehzahl des Dieselmotors ist, dem der zu regenerierende Partikelfilter zugeordnet ist. Bevorzugte Möglichkeiten
sind auch hier eine Einrichtung mit gesteuert variabler Drehzahl und eine Stelle mit gesteuert variablem Strömungsquerschnitt, wobei ergänzend auf die Ausführungen weiter vorn im Zusammenhang mit der Verbrennungsluft-Zuführung hingewiesen wird.The fuel supply opening of the main combustion chamber and / or the fuel supply opening of the pre-combustion chamber is preferably connected to a separate device or to a common device for supplying fuel with pressure or almost without pressure. This device is preferably a mechanically driven by the diesel engine or an electrically driven fuel pump. It is further preferred to design this device so that the fuel delivery quantity
per unit time is a function of the number of stretches of the diesel engine to which the particle filter to be regenerated is assigned. Preferred options
are also a device with a controlled variable speed and a point with a controlled variable flow cross-section, with additional reference being made to the statements above in connection with the combustion air supply.
Schließlich ist es bevorzugt, die Einrichtung zum Zuführen der Brennstoff-Hauptmenge so auszulegen, daß deren Brennstoffliefermenge - vorzugsweise zusätzlich zur Abhängigkeit von der Dieselmotorendrehzahl - eine Funktion der Abgastemperatur im Bereich des Partikelfilters ist. Auf diese Weise kann man die Abgastempereratur genau auf die erforderliche Regenerationstemperatur regeln.Finally, it is preferred to design the device for supplying the main fuel quantity such that its fuel supply quantity - preferably in addition to the dependency on the diesel engine speed - is a function of the exhaust gas temperature in the area of the particle filter. In this way, the exhaust gas temperature can be precisely regulated to the required regeneration temperature.
Es wird darauf hingewiesen, daß der im Anspruch 1 verwendete Begriff "Umfangswand" keine Beschränkung auf eine im wesentlichen zylinderische Konfiguration der Hauptbrennkammer und der Vorbrennkammer bedeutet, wiewohl eine solche Konfiguration bevorzugt ist.It should be noted that the term "peripheral wall" used in claim 1 does not imply a restriction to a substantially cylindrical configuration of the main combustion chamber and the pre-combustion chamber, although such a configuration is preferred.

Der in die Hauptbrennkammer 4 hineinragende Endbereich der Vorbrennkammer 6 und der daran radial außen anschließende, restliche Brennkammerboden 10 der Hauptbrennkammer 4 befinden sich infolge der geschilderten Verbrennung auf hoher Temperatur. Die der Vorbrennkammer 6 zugeführte Brennstoffmenge wird Brennstoff-Grundmenge genannt, und die der Vorbrennkammer 6 zugeführte Verbrennungsluftmenge wird Verbrennungsluft-Grundmenge genannt.The combustion flame can be limited to the interior of the
Brennstoff, der der Hauptbrennkammer 4 durch die Düse 20 zugeführt wird, verdampft in dem heißen, stromaufseitigen Endbereich der Hauptbrennkammer 4 und vermischt sich mit der durch die Zuführöffnung 22 zugeführten Verbrennungsluft und entzündet sich an den Verbrennungsgasen aus der Vorbrennkammer 6 bzw. an dem heißen Endbereich 8 der Vorbrennkammer. Die durch die Düse 20 zugeführte Brennstoffmenge wird Brennstoff-Hauptmenge genannt, und die durch die Mündung 22 zugeführte Verbrennungsluftmenge wird Verbrennungsluft-Hauptmenge genannt.Fuel that is supplied to the
Figur 2 zeigt, wie der vorstehend beschriebene Brenner 2 an einem im wesentlichen zylinderischen Partikelfilter 40 an einer Stirnseite mit der Längsachse des Partikelfilters 40 fluchtend angebracht ist. In dem Partikelfiltergehäuse ist ein Partikelfilterkörper 42, beispielsweise in Form eines keramischen Filterkörpers, angeordnet. Einem Raum 44 vor dem Filterkörper 42 strömt das Abgas eines Dieselmotors durch eine Abgasleitung 46 zu. Von dem Partikelfilter 40 strömt das Abgas durch eine stirnseitig wegführende Abgasleitung 48 ab. Die Hauptbrennkammer 4 des Brenners 2 mündet in den Raum 44, und der Brenner 2 ist an der der abführenden Abgasleitung 48 entgegengesetzten Stirnseite des Partikelfilters 40 angebaut.FIG. 2 shows how the burner 2 described above is attached to an essentially cylindrical particle filter 40 on one end face in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the particle filter 40. A
In Figur 2 erkennt man ferner ein Gebläse 50, welches über Leitungen 52 und 54 mit den weiter vorn beschriebenen Verbrennungsluft-Zuführöffnungen 22 und 24 verbunden ist. Außerdem erkennt man eine Brennstoffpumpe 56, die über Brennstoffleitungen 58 und 60 mit den weiter vorn beschriebenen Brennstoff-Zuführöffnungen 20 und 34 verbunden ist. In der Brennstoffleitung 58, die zu der Brennstoff-Zuführöffnung 20 der Hauptbrennkammer 4 führt, ist ein Regelventil 62 angeordnet. Schließlich erkennt man ein elektrisches Steuergerät 64, an das ein Temperaturfühler 66 in dem Raum 44 des Partikelfilters 40, das Gebläse 50, die Brennstoffpumpe 56 und das Regelventil 62 angeschlossen sind.FIG. 2 also shows a
Das Gebläse 50 und die Brennstoffpumpe 56 sind so ausgelegt, daß sie mit der Drehzahl des Dieselmotors, dem der Partikelfilter 40 zugeordnet ist, zunehmende Verbrennungsluftmenge bzw. Brennstoffmenge liefern. Die durch die Brenn-Zuführöffnung 20 der Hauptbrennkammer 4 pro Zeiteinheit zugeführte Brennstoffmenge kann außerdem mittels des Regelventils 62 geregelt werden.The
Es wird darauf hingewiesen, daß für jede Verbrennungsluftleitung 52 und 54 auch jeweils ein eigenes Gebläse vorgesehen sein kann und daß für jede Brennstoffleitung 58 und 60 jeweils eine eigene Brennstoffpumpe vorgesehen sein kann. Ferner wird darauf hingewiesen, daß es durchaus möglich ist, die Vorbrennkammer 6 mit ungeregelter, d.h. konstanter, zeitlicher Verbrennungsluftmenge und Brennstoffmenge zu betreiben.It is pointed out that a separate blower can also be provided for each
