Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of ordering the nitrogen oxides purge from a jar exhaust gas treatment catalytic internal combustion engine, said pot absorbing such oxides during operation in air / fuel mixture poor of said engine. More particularly, the invention relates to such a process of the type according to which order a purge of the pot by a temporary increase fuel richness of the air / fuel mixture.
- the aforementioned patent proposes to switch periodically the richness of the air / fuel mixture at a value corresponding to a stoichiometric mixture or rich. This switching causes desorption of the nitrogen oxides adsorbed in the pot then their reduction by unburnt hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide present in the pot due to the increase in richness of the mixture.
- the duration of the switching needed to desorb and reduce nitrogen oxides stored in the catalytic converter is proportional to the mass of nitrogen oxides stored.
- the object of the present invention is precisely to provide a method for controlling the oxide purge of nitrogen from a catalytic converter for gas treatment exhaust from an internal combustion engine, which allows to maintain, during and after a pot purge phase, previous engine torque, all reducing engine fuel consumption during this purge and the amount of chemical species pollutants contained in the combustion gases of the engine.
- Patent FR 2 772 428 (RENAULT) describes a process according to the preamble of claim 1.
- FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawing where we schematically represents one of the cylinders of an engine 1 internal combustion, conventionally provided with a piston la, an inlet valve 1b and a valve exhaust lc.
- the exhaust valve lc controls the passage of combustion gases leaving the engine, in a exhaust line 2 on which a pot is mounted trifunctional catalytic 3 of the type described in the preamble of this description.
- Fuel is supplied to the cylinder using a fuel injector 4 opening into the cylinder, in the case of an "injection” engine direct “, or from an injector 5 conventionally spraying the inlet valve 1b, as shown in line interrupted in Figure 1.
- the air flow entering the cylinder through this valve 1b is regulated by an air intake circuit comprising a "motorized" throttle valve 6 controlled by a digital computer 7, as it is now classic.
- the computer controls, in addition to the butterfly 7 and the injector 4 or 5, a spark plug 8 so to adjust the angle of advance at ignition of the mixture air / fuel introduced into the cylinder.
- FIG. 2 shows the development, respectively, of the richness R of the air / fuel mixture, of the air flow rate D entering the engine and of the angle of advance of ignition, from d 'An instant t 1 of triggering a purge, instant determined by said expert system for example, these changes being determined by the purge control method according to the invention, as described in detail below.
- the computer controls a sudden increase in the quantity of gasoline injected into the engine and therefore in the richness of the air / fuel mixture, so that it is suitable for purging the pot of oxides of nitrogen, this richness then passing from the previous value R 0 corresponding to a lean mixture, to a value R 1 greater than that (R 2 ) corresponding to the stoichiometry.
- the computer 7 controls a gradual reduction in the air flow entering the engine from the previous value D 0 , and an abrupt reduction in the ignition advance angle ⁇ , which then goes from the previous value ⁇ 0 to a value ⁇ 1 .
- the sudden reduction in the angle of advance ⁇ to the value ⁇ 1 is calculated to compensate for the sudden increase in engine torque which would otherwise result from the sudden increase in the value of the richness of the air / fuel mixture up to the value R 1 .
- the engine torque is thus stabilized at its value prior to the purge, for the benefit of passenger comfort.
- these changes in torque are eliminated by gradually increasing the angle ⁇ of ignition advance, from the value ⁇ 1 to a value ⁇ 2 corresponding to optimum operation of the engine at the air flow rate D 1 and at the setpoint richness R 1 during the purging, this progressive rise in the angle of ignition advance ⁇ being slaved to the reduction of the air flow so as to follow it over time.
- the response time of the air intake circuit is thus fully taken into account by the method according to the invention, which makes it possible to limit the fuel consumption of the engine during the purge as well as the emissions of polluting species, without disturb the engine torque.
- Controlling the angle ⁇ to the air flow can be obtained simply by suitable programming of the computer 7.
- the expert system determines that the catalytic converter 3 has regained its effectiveness, it commands, at time t 2 , the stopping of the purge, that is to say the restoration in the long term of the values R 0 , D 0 and ⁇ 0 of the richness, the air flow rate and the ignition advance angle respectively.
- this difficulty is overcome by returning to the lean mixture by passing through a mixture of richness of value R 2 intermediate between R 1 and R 0 , the value R 2 corresponding to a stoichiometric mixture, for example, richness value for which the three-way catalyst treats polluting emissions.
- the computer controls the throttle valve 6 so as to increase the air flow entering the engine until gradually returning to an air / fuel mixture of richness R 0 , therefore to a "lean" mixture.
- the computer suddenly raises the ignition advance angle ⁇ to the value ⁇ 3 , so as to compensate for the sudden reduction in the wealth observed at this time, ⁇ 3 corresponding to the optimum advance value when the air / fuel mixture is of stoichiometric composition.
- the advance is again controlled by the air flow until it returns to the value D 0 , at the instant t 3 .
- the advance ⁇ and the richness R are reduced to the values ⁇ 0 and R 0 respectively, corresponding to the lean mixture.
- the present invention achieves the goal, namely to ensure the purge of nitrogen oxides from a catalytic converter, without disturbance of the torque delivered by the engine and without overconsumption of fuel and pollution peaks transients in engine exhaust.
