Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the treatment of a fluid, in particular for the aftertreatment of an exhaust gas
- Internal combustion engine and a honeycomb body in particular for the aftertreatment of the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine.
- honeycomb bodies have cavities which can be flowed through or at least flowed through, and which form flow channels in the case of cavities which can be flowed through. Precious metal catalysts are applied to the surface of these cavities, which lead to a reaction of the undesired components of the exhaust gas at significantly lower reaction temperatures.
- honeycomb bodies two types are known, on the one hand ceramic monolithic honeycomb bodies and on the other hand, metallic honeycomb bodies, of which several designs are known.
- honeycomb body is constructed from a multiplicity of alternatingly arranged smooth and corrugated or differently corrugated sheet metal layers, the sheet metal layers initially being one or more stacks form that are intertwined.
- the ends of all sheet metal layers come to the outside and can be connected to a housing or casing tube, which creates numerous connections that increase the durability of the honeycomb body.
- Typical examples of these designs are described in EP 0 245 737 BI or WO 90/03220.
- honeycomb bodies in a conical design, possibly also with additional structures for influencing the flow.
- honeycomb body is described, for example, in WO 97/49905.
- NO x nitrogen oxides
- WO 99/20876 it is known from WO 99/20876 to provide a NO x store in the exhaust system of a diesel or lean-burn engine, which can store the nitrogen oxides generated during operation over a certain period of time. Before its storage capacity is exhausted, such a NO x storage device is regenerated by supplying unburned hydrocarbons to the exhaust system. These hydrocarbons react, possibly supported by suitable catalysts, with the stored nitrogen oxides, only carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water being produced.
- honeycomb bodies with storage properties known from the prior art, however, there are no means which prevent the component to be stored from breaking through the memory, that is to say the component to be stored from escaping from the honeycomb body, for example if the storage times are too long.
- a honeycomb body according to the invention has an entry surface, an exit surface and a honeycomb structure through which a fluid can flow, between the entry surface and the exit surface.
- the honeycomb structure has storage means for at least one component of the fluid, and a measuring sensor for the concentration of this component in the fluid.
- the sensor is arranged in the honeycomb structure at a minimum distance from the exit surface.
- Such a honeycomb body is used in particular for the aftertreatment of the exhaust gas from a combustion machine.
- a honeycomb body according to the invention is of great advantage, since in such a case breaking through the component to be stored would lead directly to an emission of the component to be stored into the environment. In addition to an increased short-range load, this would mean that legally prescribed limit values may not be met.
- nitrogen oxides can be stored in the honeycomb body.
- the arrangement of the sensor within the honeycomb structure has the advantage that when the sensor measures a certain concentration of the component to be stored, it is still inside the honeycomb structure and not behind it, as would be the case if the sensor was located behind the Honeycomb body would be formed.
- the minimum distance is dimensioned such that when the sensor responds to the presence of a predefinable maximum concentration of the component in the fluid, this maximum concentration has never reached the exit surface at any point in the honeycomb structure.
- the radially outer channels in the honeycomb body can flow through at a slower speed than the radially central flow channels. This would lead to a higher throughput of fluid taking place in the radially inner region of the honeycomb body per unit of time, so that the storage means in the central channels of the honeycomb body are filled up faster than the storage means at the edge of the honeycomb body.
- These storage media can consist, for example, of an adsorbing coating to which the particles to be stored are bound by physisorption or chemisorption. If the concentration of the component to be stored in the fluid is now determined and this corresponds to a predeterminable maximum concentration, it is established that the storage capacity in the radial region in which the sensor is formed is exhausted up to the sensor. From the known flow conditions it is then possible to determine the progress of the concentration front. This can be done, for example, by a calculation, for example in an engine control of the internal combustion engine.
- the minimum distance is dimensioned such that when the sensor responds to the presence of a predeterminable maximum concentration of the component in the fluid, the storage volume between the sensor and the outlet surface is sufficient to continue to store the component until measures to regenerate the storage means take effect. without this maximum concentration reaching the exit surface at any point in the honeycomb structure.
- Regeneration of the storage means takes place.
- one Honeycomb body in a motor vehicle may otherwise result in a measure for regeneration having to be carried out, although this is only possible with reduced safety for the user of the motor vehicle in the context of the current driving situation, for example when overtaking.
- the minimum distance is dimensioned such that the remaining, not yet filled, memory downstream of the measuring sensor represents a buffer for a certain time, it is advantageously possible to choose a point in time for initiating the regeneration measures that the user is not aware of Security is still associated with loss of comfort.
- the honeycomb body additionally has means for determining at least one further parameter of the fluid.
- means are designed for determining the residual oxygen content of the fluid or the temperature of the fluid.
- the data obtained by such means can advantageously be used in the control of, for example, the regeneration of the storage means in a honeycomb body according to the invention, as well as other parts, for. B. the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine.
- the data obtained in this way can also be used to control the motor as part of a motor control be used.
- the formation of means for determining the temperature of the fluid is particularly advantageous if, for example, an increase in the temperature of the honeycomb body is to be expected as part of the regeneration measures. An increase in the temperature of the honeycomb body leads to the heating of the fluid flowing through it and vice versa. A determination of the temperature of the honeycomb body, among other things, can thus be drawn from the determination of the temperature of the fluid. If necessary, the regeneration measures carried out can be terminated when a predeterminable maximum temperature is reached.
- this has storage means for storing nitrogen oxides (NO x ).
- NO x nitrogen oxides
- a honeycomb body according to the invention with storage means for storing nitrogen oxides in the exhaust line of an internal combustion engine leads to an effective reduction of the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas and to reliable compliance with the legally prescribed limit values.
- the injection of unburned hydrocarbons means that the stored nitrogen oxides are burned off and the storage is thus regenerated.
- the reaction products of this regeneration reaction are carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water.
- the unburned fuel can advantageously be injected.
- a method for treating a fluid in particular for aftertreatment of an exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine, is proposed in a honeycomb body with an inlet surface, an outlet surface and a honeycomb structure through which the fluid can flow, between the inlet surface and the outlet surface, the honeycomb structure Has storage means for at least one component of the fluid.
- the concentration of the component to be stored in the fluid is determined in the honeycomb structure at a minimum distance from the exit surface.
- the minimum distance is dimensioned such that when a predeterminable maximum concentration of the component in the fluid is exceeded, this maximum concentration has never reached the exit surface at any point in the honeycomb structure. This advantageously makes it possible to prevent the honeycomb body from breaking through the exhaust gas component to be stored.
- the minimum distance is dimensioned such that when a predeterminable maximum concentration of the component is exceeded, the storage volume between the position in the honeycomb structure at which the concentration of the components to be stored. Component is determined, and the exit surface is sufficient to continue storing the component until measures for the regeneration of the storage medium become effective without the maximum concentration reaching the exit surface at any point in the honeycomb structure.
- At least one further parameter of the fluid is additionally determined.
- measures for the regeneration of the storage means are carried out as soon as the predetermined maximum concentration of the components to be stored has been reached. This allows the storage means to be regenerated very quickly.
- measures for the regeneration of the storage means are carried out, at the latest as soon as a predeterminable time period has elapsed after the predefinable maximum concentration has been reached.
- nitrogen oxides (NOx) are stored.
- unburned hydrocarbons are introduced into the honeycomb structure as a measure for the regeneration of the storage means.
- this leads to a burning off of the NO x .
- This reaction produces carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water.
- Measures for the regeneration of the storage medium are terminated when the exhaust gas temperature exceeds a predeterminable maximum temperature. This advantageously prevents damage to the honeycomb body, since the regeneration measures can be terminated so early that there is no thermal damage to the honeycomb body.
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a honeycomb body according to the invention
- Fig. 3 shows an internal combustion engine with exhaust system and a honeycomb body according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a honeycomb body 1 according to the invention with a honeycomb structure 2 which has an entry surface 3 and an exit surface 4.
- a gas stream 5 enters the honeycomb structure 2 through the inlet surface 3 and leaves it through the outlet surface 4.
- the honeycomb structure 2 has channels through which a fluid can flow from the inlet surface 3 to the outlet surface 4 .
- the inner surfaces of the honeycomb structure 2 can be coated, wherein the coating can contain noble metal catalysts which are used to convert parts of the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine.
- the honeycomb structure 2 has storage means for at least one component, such as nitrogen oxides (NO x ). These storage means can take the form of a be carried out adsorbent coating, which covers the inner surfaces of the honeycomb structure 2.
- the honeycomb structure 2 has a multiplicity of cavities or channels which can be flowed on and can be constructed as a ceramic monolithic honeycomb structure or as a metallic honeycomb structure.
- An end view of an example of a metallic honeycomb body 1 is shown in FIG. 2.
- the exemplary embodiment shown there has been produced by twisting three stacks of sheet metal layers. Each of these stacks is formed by the alternating stacking of structured sheet metal layers 8 and of essentially smooth sheet metal layers 9, which are connected to one another by suitable joining techniques, such as soldering or welding, at least in axial and / or radial partial areas of the honeycomb structure 2.
- the spaces between the sheet metal layers 8, 9 form channels 11.
- the structures of the structured sheet metal layers 8 are only shown in a section of the end view of the honeycomb structure.
- the honeycomb structure 2 is fastened in a casing tube 10 and thus forms the honeycomb body 1.
- the sheet metal layers 8, 9 can be thin sheet steel layers which have a thickness of less than 80 ⁇ m, preferably less than 40 ⁇ m, and particularly preferably less than 20 ⁇ m. However. it is equally possible to form the structured sheet metal layers 8 and / or the substantially smooth sheet metal layers 9 from a material through which a fluid can flow at least in part. This enables the construction of an open particle filter in which the gas flow partially passes through the structured sheet metal layers 8 or the essentially smooth sheet metal layers 9. The proportion of the gas flow that passes through these layers can be increased by forming structures that lead to a swirling of the gas flow, so that pressure differences allow the gas flow to flow through the walls. This results in the accumulation of particles to be filtered out in the wall.
- a particle filter is said to be open if it can basically be traversed completely by particles, including particles that are considerably larger than the particles that are actually to be filtered out. As a result, such a filter cannot become blocked even during agglomeration of particles during operation.
- a suitable method for measuring the openness of a particle filter is, for example, testing to what diameter spherical particles can still flow through such a filter.
- a filter is particularly open when balls with a diameter greater than or equal to 0.1 mm can still trickle through, preferably balls with a diameter above 0.2 mm.
- the structured sheet metal layers 8 or the substantially smooth sheet metal layers 9 with holes, the dimensions of which are significantly greater than the structural repeat length of the structures used for the structured sheet metal layers 8. This leads to a particularly good mixing and to a more uniform conversion of the exhaust gas.
- the honeycomb body 1 according to the invention also has a measuring sensor 6, which is arranged in the honeycomb structure 2 at a minimum distance 7 from the exit surface 4.
- the sensor 6 is sensitive to the component of the exhaust gas to be stored in the storage means. If this is NO x , the sensor 6 will detect no or only a very low concentration of NO x in the exhaust gas, provided the storage means of the honeycomb structure 2 upstream in relation to the gas stream 5 still have a sufficiently large, unoccupied storage volume.
- the minimum distance 7 is preferably dimensioned such that when the measuring sensor registers a predeterminable maximum concentration of the component in the exhaust gas, this predeterminable maximum concentration of the component at no point in the Honeycomb structure 2 has reached the exit surface 4.
- concentration fronts can form, that is to say fronts of the same concentration of the component to be stored, which move over time in the honeycomb body 1.
- Concentration front will take a certain amount of time, because at the beginning the concentration of NO x in the exhaust gas immediately after entering honeycomb body 1 will quickly go to zero, at least in radial partial areas of honeycomb body, since no NO x has yet accumulated on the storage media , Therefore virtually all NO x that is contained in gas stream 5 at this point in time is stored directly.
- the storage means are successively filled with NO x in the direction of the gas flow 5, so that a concentration front is formed, which develops
- This front does not have to represent a flat plane, rather it is usually curved or jagged. If this concentration front reaches the sensor, this means that the sensor 6 detects the maximum concentration, but there are places in the honeycomb body at which this maximum concentration is significantly closer to the inlet surface 3 or also closer to the outlet surface 4 than at the position of the sensor 6.
- the minimum distance 7 between the sensor 6 and the outlet surface 4 is therefore selected such that NO x cannot break through under normal operating conditions. This means that NO x should not emerge from the exit surface 4 of the honeycomb structure 2.
- a lambda probe and / or a temperature sensor in the measuring sensor 6. This advantageously makes it possible, when carrying out measures for the regeneration of the storage means, to determine whether hydrocarbons pass through the exit surface of the honeycomb structure 2 without combustion and would thus reach the environment. In addition, it is possible to prevent thermal damage to the honeycomb body 1 by terminating the regeneration measure when a predeterminable maximum temperature is reached. This is particularly important in the desulfation of the honeycomb body 1.
- FIG. 3 schematically shows an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle with an exhaust line, engine control and a honeycomb body 1 according to the invention.
- the exhaust gases produced by the engine 12 are fed into the exhaust line 13.
- the exhaust gas is passed through exhaust treatment means 14. These can consist, for example, of a conventional 3-way catalyst. Downstream of this, a honeycomb body 1 according to the invention is formed in the exhaust gas line 13, in which storage means for storing NO x are formed.
- the end pipe 15 Downstream of the honeycomb body 1 according to the invention is the end pipe 15 through which the exhaust gases are released to the environment.
- a sensor 6 In the honeycomb body 1 is a sensor 6 is formed. This determines the NO x concentration in the exhaust gas, it also includes a lambda probe and a temperature sensor.
- the data obtained by the sensor 6 are transmitted to the engine control 17 via a first signal line 16.
- the motor controller 17 is connected to the motor 12 via a second signal line 18.
- There is also a third signal line 19 which connects the engine control 17 to the exhaust gas treatment means 14.
- the data obtained in the exhaust gas treatment means 14, in the honeycomb body 1, and in the engine 12 can be processed by the engine control 17 and used to control the injection means 20.
- the injection means 20 can be designed, for example, as a nozzle, which is supplied, for example, via a pump 21 with unburned fuel from a tank 22 and under pressure.
- a pump 21 with unburned fuel from a tank 22 and under pressure.
- the regeneration measure can that is, the injection of unburned fuel, through which the injection means 20 are quickly ended.
- this prevents unburned hydrocarbons from being released into the atmosphere, and on the other hand prevents the honeycomb body 1 from being thermally damaged.
- honeycomb body according to the invention and a method according to the invention for
- Treatment of a fluid in particular an aftertreatment of an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, advantageously make it possible to store components of a fluid, for example NO x , the required memory can be designed small and nevertheless a breakthrough of the component to be stored through the honeycomb body can be effectively and reliably avoided.
