Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for controlling the lubricating oil dilution - in volume percent - of an internal combustion engine.
  • the invention relates to a device for monitoring and reducing this oil dilution.
  • Internal combustion engines are provided with a lubricating oil circuit and corresponding devices to filter the lubricating oil in order to separate the disturbing particulates and other liquid contaminates, such as water, glycol or in particular fuel therefrom.
  • the liquid contaminates result in a lubricating oil dilution, which is the subject matter of the present invention.
  • a fraction of the injected fuel is mixed with the oil film on the cylinder wall and scraped with the oil film and blow-by gas into the crankcase resulting in a fuel dilution of the oil.
  • a representative oil recycler is disclosed in PCT Application WO96/25996. This oil recycler serves the twofold purpose of filtering the lubricating oil as it recycles through the engine so as to remove particles therefrom and heating a portion of the lubricating oil being recycled in a heating chamber so as to evaporate liquid contaminates from the oil which passes through the chamber.
  • the oil recycler comprises a heated chamber adjacent a filter element.
  • a stack of spaced apart discs is arranged in the heated chamber.
  • the oil is filtered through the filter element and then cascades over the discs in the heated chamber, so that any contaminantes contained therein are evaporated.
  • the US 6,053,143 discloses a method of improving the operating efficiency and reducing certain exhaust emissions in an internal combustion engine.
  • a potion of recycling engine lubricating oil to heat treatment in the range from 170° C to 260° C and preferably in the the range from 180° C to 240°C in a volatilization chamber or the like, an improvement in the fuel consumption as well as a reduction in the total hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide and particulates can be achieved.
  • in-cylinder post injection means an injection of additional fuel into all or some cylinders after the respective main injection but still during the power stroke.
  • In-cylinder post injection is an efficient method for increasing exhaust gas temperatures and/or achieving rich engine operation and at the same time maintaining neutral torque for the same operating point in normal mode.
  • Such an operation mode with increased exhaust gas temperatures is required for example in the periodic combustion of the soot build up in a diesel particulate filter at high exhaust gas temperatures.
  • the rich operation mode is required to regenerate the NO x trapped during lean operation modes for the case the engine is provided with a lean NO x trap.
  • vehicle usage patterns significantly affect the severity of the oil dilution problem as it has an influence on the blow-by flow rate and the oil temperature. Frequent cold starts and short journeys may result in oil dilution ratios up to five times higher than fully warmed operating patterns.
  • the dilution of lubricating oil by fuel has adverse effects on engine wear by changing the lubricity of oil and may result in severe durability problems. This results in limiting the oil change interval i.e. for example limiting the interval to 15.000 kilometers or changing the oil annually to account for worst-case scenario at the cost of higher operational costs and less ideal use of resources.
  • control strategies making use of post in-cylinder injection(s) during the power stroke are very susceptible to result in high fuel dilution of engine oil.
  • modern engines provided with particulates filter and/or NO x trap are required these strategies.
  • the fuel dilution of lubricating engine oil has an adverse effect on engine wear and may result in severe engine damage especially for in-city drive patterns, the operation mode of which is characterized in that the engine operates with low speed and low load.
  • the in-city patterns are followed by a highway operation with full load as another worse drive pattern with respect to fuel dilution of oil.
  • the dilution of the oil has two aspects. One is the adverse effect on the physical properties of the lubricating oil - e.g. viscosity - which may result in higher engine wear. The other aspect is the increased level of the engine oil in the crankcase. At high dilution rates up to 25% by weight the diluted lubrication oil mixture carried over by the blow-by gases into the cylinder and during decelerations can result in an uncontrolled combustion and may result in severe engine damage.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a device for monitoring and reducing the oil dilution i.e. a device to realize the method for controlling the lubricating oil dilution of an internal combustion engine.
  • a method for controlling the lubricating oil dilution - in volume percent - of an internal combustion engine which comprises the following steps
  • a preferred embodiment of the method is characterized in that the dilution ratio is reduced by
  • the inventive method comprises a monitoring step which is used to determine the current oil dilution ratio by estimating and/or calculating.
  • a monitoring step which is used to determine the current oil dilution ratio by estimating and/or calculating.
  • several operating parameters are measured, namely parameteres which are appropriate to describe the oil state, the engine state and/or the vehicle state and furthermore which are appropriate to be correlated to the most important lubrication properties of the oil in order to receive information about the current oil dilution state.
  • the inventive method enables a controlled treatment - e.g. evaporation and/or partial combustion - of the diluted fuel-oil mixture in dependency on the current oil dilution state determined within the monitoring step.
  • the oil change interval may be adapted to different vehicle usage patterns resulting in an ideal use of resources and a reduction of vehicle operational costs. Simultaneously uncontrolled combustion and thereby caused severe engine damage could be avoided.
