Definitions
- the invention relates to methods for carrying out a regeneration of a NO x storage catalytic converter in an exhaust line of an internal combustion engine and devices for carrying out the regeneration with the features mentioned in the preambles of independent claims 1 to 3 or 20 or 21.
- the NO x storage catalytic converter must be regenerated at recurring intervals.
- the internal combustion engine is briefly switched to a rich or stoichiometric working mode ( ⁇ ⁇ 1).
- ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 1 a mass flow of reducing agent in the exhaust gas increases, the nitrogen oxides stored as nitrate are desorbed and converted catalytically on the NO x storage catalytic converter with simultaneous oxidation of CO and HC.
- a regeneration period during which the rich exhaust gas atmosphere is applied to the storage catalytic converter is predefined.
- the disadvantage of this is that an actual loading state of the NO x storage catalytic converter and a current regeneration rate thereof are not taken into account.
- Such a procedure harbors the risk that the regeneration period is too short or too long, with in the first case an incomplete regeneration of the storage and in the second case an unnecessary increase in fuel consumption and an emission of environmentally harmful reducing agents (HC and CO).
- Refined processes attempt to estimate an actual loading state of the NO x storage catalytic converter on the basis of certain operating parameters during the last lean phase and derive a necessary regeneration period from this.
- this method also has considerable inaccuracies, so that unsuitable NO x regeneration times with the mentioned consequences can also result here.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a method for NO x regeneration of a NO x storage catalytic converter which is optimized with regard to the lowest possible reducing agent emission and at the same time ensures complete regeneration of the storage catalytic converter.
- the process should run as quickly as possible, that is to say short regeneration times.
- a device which is suitable and advantageous for carrying out the method is also to be provided.
- the predefined signal threshold value can be determined in advance with sufficient reliability.
- the method thus enables a reduction in CO and HC emissions and a minimization of an additional fuel consumption necessary for NO x regeneration.
- the oxygen-dependent signal of the measuring device is extrapolated on the basis of current operating parameters of the internal combustion engine and / or the exhaust system.
- these can include, for example, a current air / fuel mixture (combustion lambda) fed to the internal combustion engine and / or an exhaust gas mass flow and / or an exhaust gas temperature and / or a catalyst temperature.
- the accuracy of the extrapolation can be further increased by taking into account a behavior model of the NO x storage catalytic converter.
- a behavior model can include, for example, the course of a regeneration rate depending on the current reducing agent mass flow and / or the catalyst temperature.
- the behavior model can also take into account the signal curve measured during the current regeneration.
- An advantageous further development of the method can also be achieved by extrapolating the signal taking into account a behavior model of the oxygen-sensitive measuring device.
- a behavior model of the oxygen-sensitive measuring device In particular, an inertia, that is to say a time delay with which the measuring device displays changed exhaust gas conditions, but also a current temperature of the measuring device measured, for example, via an internal resistance, can be taken into account.
- the exhaust gas runtime as a fixed value preferably provided, this on the basis of current operating parameters of the Calculate internal combustion engine. It can be based on known operating parameters such as engine load, speed or exhaust gas temperature or other suitable data be resorted to.
- a preferred embodiment of the method provides for specifying limit values for different operating conditions of the internal combustion engine and / or the exhaust system and suppressing the extrapolation if these limit values are not observed.
- Limit values for the exhaust gas mass flow and / or for the temperature of the NO x storage catalytic converter are particularly useful, since the regeneration rates are too inconsistent if the exhaust gas mass flows are too high or the catalyst temperatures are too low to be able to be extrapolated with sufficient reliability.
- the signal extrapolation can advantageously also be suppressed if there are interfering influences which depend on the operating point and which influence irregular NO x regeneration. This is the case, for example, in the case of a fuel cut-off of the internal combustion engine.
- the Extrapolation not during the entire regeneration period of the Storage catalytic converter, but only after a specified time has elapsed Start of regeneration and / or after throughput of a predetermined exhaust gas mass and / or after a predetermined minimum threshold of the signal of the Measuring device.
- the extrapolation according to the invention enables the exhaust gas runtime to be taken into account when changing the combustion lambda during regeneration, so that a reaction to an expected signal level can be anticipated to a certain extent. For example, it is possible to increase the combustion lambda before an undesirable reduction in the reducing agent, which is predicted by the extrapolation, and ultimately to reduce it or even to completely suppress it. Overall, the method thus enables a reduction in CO and HC emissions and a minimization of an additional fuel consumption required for NO X regeneration.
- the (Theoretical) achievement of the predetermined for a regeneration termination Signal threshold value determined in advance can be timely means to break off before a reductant breakthrough occurs.
- there are several alternatives at a time of this To determine increase For example, the increase after a Predeterminable portion of a determined by the extrapolation Total regeneration takes place.
- the combustion lambda is even more advantageous when a second predetermined signal threshold value is reached by the to increase the extrapolated sensor signal taking into account the exhaust gas runtime, wherein the second signal threshold is usefully less than the first Signal threshold if it is a probe voltage.
- the raise of the combustion lambda before the end of regeneration causes a reduction of a reducing agent mass flow at a time when only a small amount is left Amounts of nitrogen oxides stored in the storage catalytic converter to convert the Reducing agents are available. This measure thus eliminates the danger of a reducing agent breakthrough at the end of regeneration is additionally reduced. It has proven particularly useful to reduce the combustion lambda to lambda values of 0.94 to 0.99, in particular to 0.95 to 0.98.
- the combustion lambda of the internal combustion engine is lowered below a previous lambda value until the extrapolated sensor signal reaches a third predetermined signal threshold value taking into account the exhaust gas runtime.
- combustion lambda values from 0.6 to 0.9, in particular from 0.7 to 0.8, have proven particularly useful.
- the NO x storage catalytic converter is consequently subjected to a comparatively very rich exhaust gas atmosphere, as long as the storage tank still has a minimum loading of nitrogen oxides marked by the third signal threshold. This at least temporarily very rich loading of the storage catalytic converter increases the efficiency of the NO x conversion, shortens the regeneration period and ultimately minimizes the additional fuel consumption to be used for the regeneration.
- the Exceeded by the extrapolated sensor signal further variations of the Triggers combustion lambdas.
- Additional threshold values can, for example an otherwise determined aging state of the storage catalytic converter consider. The various increases and / or decreases in the Air-fuel mixture to be supplied to the internal combustion engine can also gradually or even continuously.
- the devices according to the invention include means by which the described Process steps are executable.
- the means comprise a control unit in which a Algorithm for controlling the process steps is stored in digital form.
- This Control unit can advantageously also be integrated into an engine control unit of the vehicle his.
- the oxygen-sensitive measuring device can be a lambda probe arranged downstream of the NO x storage catalytic converter, in particular a broadband or a step response lambda probe, or a NO x sensor that has a lambda output signal.
- the internal combustion engine 10 shown in FIG. 1 is assigned an exhaust gas system, designated overall by 12.
- the exhaust system 12 comprises an exhaust duct 14, in which a pre-catalytic converter 16 arranged in a position close to the engine and a large-volume NO x storage catalytic converter 18 are arranged.
- the exhaust gas duct 14 usually houses various gas and / or temperature sensors (not shown) for regulating the internal combustion engine 10.
- Only an oxygen-sensitive measuring device 20 is shown here, which is arranged downstream of the NO x storage catalytic converter 18.
- the measuring device 20 can be, for example, a lambda probe or a NO x sensor which is equipped with a lambda measuring function.
- the measuring device 20 provides a signal U ⁇ that is dependent on an oxygen component of the exhaust gas.
- This signal U ⁇ is transmitted to an engine control unit 22, in which it is digitized and further processed. Further information relating to the operating state of the internal combustion engine 10 is likewise input into the engine control unit 22.
- a control unit 24 is integrated in the engine control unit 22, in which an algorithm for carrying out the method for NO x regeneration of the NO x storage catalytic converter 18 is stored.
- the engine control unit 22 and the control unit 24 are capable of influencing at least one operating parameter of the internal combustion engine 10, in particular an air-fuel mixture to be supplied (combustion lambda), as a function of the signal U ⁇ of the measuring device, to be explained below.
- FIG. 2 shows the course over time of various parameters of the internal combustion engine 10 and of the exhaust system 12 during a NO x regeneration of the NO x storage catalytic converter 18, which is carried out according to a conventional method.
- the internal combustion engine 10 is in a lean operating mode, in which an oxygen-rich air-fuel mixture with ⁇ M >> 1 is fed to it (graph 100).
- the exhaust gas contains an excess of nitrogen oxides NO x , which cannot be completely converted by the pre-catalyst 16.
- NO x is therefore stored in the NO x storage catalytic converter 18, the NO x load of which increases continuously in the process (graph 102).
- a suitable criterion a need for NO x regeneration is recognized at a time t A.
- the internal combustion engine 10 is switched by influencing the engine control unit 22 in a rich operating mode with ⁇ F ⁇ 1.
- NO is reduced x desorbed and nitrogen.
- a decrease in the NO x loading (graph 102) of the storage catalytic converter 18 can, however, only be recorded after a certain time delay after switching over the internal combustion engine 10, since at time t A the exhaust gas duct 14 is still filled with lean exhaust gas, which initially still contains the storage catalytic converter 18 must happen before the reducing agents reach it.
- the course of the NO x regeneration is meanwhile tracked with the aid of the signal U ⁇ provided by the measuring device 20 - as a rule a voltage.
- the probe voltage U ⁇ (graph 104) is inversely proportional to an oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas downstream of the storage catalytic converter 18.
- the signal U ⁇ of the measuring device 20 rises slowly.
- the signal U ⁇ reaches a predetermined threshold value U SE , whereupon the internal combustion engine 10 is generally switched back to a lean operating mode with ⁇ M >> 1.
- FIG. 3 The time course of the same parameters as in FIG. 2 is shown in FIG. 3 - this time during regeneration according to a first typical embodiment of the method according to the invention.
- the signal U ⁇ of the measuring device 20 (graph 104) is first measured in a known manner and recorded.
- the control unit 24 begins at a time t AH with an extrapolation of the signal U ⁇ .
- the control unit 24 On the basis of selected operating parameters, the control unit 24 also calculates a time span ⁇ t that corresponds to the current exhaust gas runtime that the exhaust gas requires until the storage catalytic converter is reached. According to a first aspect of the invention, the time of the actual regeneration end t E is then determined by subtracting the exhaust gas runtime ⁇ t from the time t S. During the period T H , the extrapolation and thus the end of regeneration t E are continuously updated on the basis of current operating parameters and on the basis of the actual signal profile U ⁇ . When the end of regeneration t E determined in this way is reached, the internal combustion engine 10 is switched back to the lean operating mode with ⁇ M.
- FIG. 4 The time profiles of the parameters according to an advantageous embodiment of a further method according to the invention, in which a predetermined combustion lambda is varied taking into account the extrapolated sensor signal U ⁇ and the exhaust gas runtime, is shown in FIG. 4.
- the sensor signal U ⁇ graph 104) and Determination of the exhaust gas transit time ⁇ t analogously to the procedure explained in the context of FIG. 3.
- the extrapolated sensor signal U ⁇ reaches a second signal threshold value U S2 , which is not shown for reasons of clarity and which is located between U S1 and U SE .
- U S2 Reaching the signal threshold value U S2 signals that the NO x loading of the storage catalytic converter 18 is almost exhausted.
- the combustion lambda is further increased to a value of ⁇ F4 close to 1.
- ⁇ F4 is then typically 0.95 to 0.98.
- the point in time t S at which the predetermined signal threshold value U SE is theoretically reached is also determined in accordance with the method shown in FIG.
- the time of the (actual) regeneration end t E is then determined by subtracting the exhaust gas runtime ⁇ t from the time t S. If the end of regeneration t E determined in this way is reached, the internal combustion engine 10 is switched back to the lean operating mode with ⁇ M in order to prevent the pollutant breakthrough (graph 106).
- the small amount of NO x (graph 102) still present in the storage catalytic converter 18 at this point ensures that the small proportion of reducing agent still contained in the exhaust gas is largely implemented.
