Description

Procédé de détermination de la température avant l'entrée dans un pot catalvtiαue d'un moteur turbocompressé La présente invention concerne un procédé de détermination de la température avant l'entrée dans un pot catalytique d'un moteur turbocompressé. Dans un moteur catalysé, il est important de connaître la température au niveau du pot catalytique pour ne pas détruire celui-ci. Cette température est importante pour diverses fonctions : protection du catalyseur et de sa sonde oxygène amont, détection de sonde oxygène amont prête, chauffage de sonde oxygène amont ainsi que chauffage du catalyseur. Sur certains moteurs ces quatre fonctions, ou du moins une partie d'entre-elles, n'existent pas. Sur d'autres moteurs, ces fonctions sont régulées en boucle ouverte. Il est également connu pour la gestion de ces fonctions de prendre en compte des paramètres moins précis que la température à l'entrée du pot catalytique. Sur un moteur atmosphérique, il est connu de modéliser la température à l'entrée et à la sortie du pot catalytique. On connaît également par cartographie la température de l'échappement en sortie de moteur. La présente invention a alors pour but de fournir un procédé permettant de déterminer de manière fiable dans un moteur turbocompressé catalysé la température d'entrée des gaz d'échappement dans le pot catalytique, c'est-à-dire en aval du turbocompresseur. A cet effet, elle propose un procédé de détermination dans un moteur turbocompressé de la température des gaz d'échappement en aval de la turbine du turbocompresseur, qui comporte les étapes suivantes : - détermination de la température en amont de la turbine du turbocompresseur, - calcul d'un terme correctif à partir de paramètres de fonctionnement du moteur, et - détermination de la température en aval de la turbine du turbocompresseur en soustrayant le terme correctif de la température en amont de la turbine du turbocompresseur. Cette détermination est très simple à réaliser mais comme il a pu être démontré, la détermination de la température obtenue par ce procédé permet d'obtenir des températures sensiblement conformes à celles enregistrées à l'aide d'une sonde de température pour confirmer ce procédé. La détermination de la température en amont de la turbine du turbocompresseur peut être obtenue à l'aide d'une sonde de température mais pour minimiser le coût du moteur correspondant elle est de préférence obtenue par modélisation. Il est connu de l'homme du métier de modéliser cette température et cette modélisation est déjà utilisée pour éviter la surchauffe du turbocompresseur. Cette modélisation est par exemple réalisée par un dispositif électronique intégré au dispositif de gestion et de commande du moteur. Le calcul du terme correctif peut alors avantageusement être réalisé par ce même dispositif électronique. Dans une forme de réalisation préférée, le terme correctif est obtenu tout d'abord par une courbe prédéterminée donnant une variation de température en fonction du régime moteur et du débit d'air traversant le moteur puis par la multiplication de cette variation de température par un facteur de compression adiabatique. Le facteur de compression adiabatique est avantageusement dépendant d'au moins une grandeur physique choisie dans l'ensemble comprenant la pression à l'échappement du moteur, la différence entre cette pression et la pression extérieure et l'ouverture d'une vanne de décharge du turbocompresseur. Dans la pratique, une seule grandeur permet d'obtenir d'excellents résultats. Pour alors définir la courbe tridimensionnelle donnant la variation de température, dépendant du régime moteur et du débit d'air, on fait par exemple varier ce régime moteur et le débit d'air en maintenant constante(s) la(les) grandeur(s) dont dépend le facteur de compression adiabatique. Des détails et avantages de la présente invention assortiront mieux de la description qui suit, faite en référence au dessin schématique annexé sur lequel : La figure 1 représente schématiquement l'architecture d'un moteur turbocompressé, et La figure 2 est un schéma pour expliquer le fonctionnement d'un procédé selon l'invention. La figure 1 représente très schématiquement un système d'alimentation en air et d'échappement d'un moteur turbocompressé. Ce système permet d'alimenter en air frais un moteur dans lequel au moins un piston 2 se déplace dans un cylindre 4. L'air frais pénètre dans le cylindre 4 par une ouverture commandée par une soupape 6 d'admission. Une soupape 8 est quant à elle prévue pour l'échappement des gaz brûlés hors du cylindre 4. Le système d'alimentation en air représenté comporte, d'amont en aval, une entrée d'air 10, un débitmètre d'air massique 12, un turbocompresseur 14, une chambre appelée intercooler 16, un papillon 18 disposé dans un conduit dans lequel passe l'air alimentant les cylindres et permettant d'agir sur la section de débit d'air de ce conduit, ainsi qu'un collecteur d'admission appelé généralement manifold 20. Les soupapes d'admission 6 sont en liaison directe avec le collecteur d'admission 20. Les soupapes d'échappement 8 sont quant à elles en liaison directe avec un conduit d'échappement 22. Pour ne pas encombrer le dessin, ce conduit d'échappement 22 n'est représenté qu'en sortie de cylindre et au niveau du turbocompresseur 14. Ce dernier comporte deux turbines reliées entre-elles par un arbre. Une première turbine est disposée dans le conduit d'échappement et est entraînée en rotation par les gaz brûlés sortant des cylindres 4 par les soupapes d'échappement 8. La seconde turbine est disposée, comme indiqué plus haut, dans le système d'alimentation en air du moteur et met sous pression l'air se trouvant dans l'intercooler 16. De façon classique, une vanne de décharge de turbocompresseur 24 permet de court-circuiter la turbine disposée dans le conduit d'échappement 22. En sortie du turbocompresseur, les gaz d'échappement passent dans un pot catalytique 26 avant d'être rejetés à l'air libre. Le procédé décrit ci-après permet de déterminer la température des gaz d'échappement à leur entrée dans le pot catalytique 26. Comme indiqué au préambule, la connaissance de cette température est importante pour le fonctionnement du pot catalytique 26. Ce pot catalytique 26 contient une sonde oxygène amont (non représentée) qui permet de donner des indications au dispositif de gestion du moteur pour agir sur la richesse du mélange carburant/comburant envoyé par le système d'alimentation en air dans les cylindres 4. La connaissance de la température en amont du pot catalytique 26, et en aval du turbocompresseur 14, permet de protéger le catalyseur et la sonde oxygène amont de températures trop élevées. Lorsqu'une température trop élevée est détectée, il est possible d'agir sur l'alimentation du moteur afin de diminuer la température des gaz d'échappement en sortie des cylindres 4. Il faut aussi à l'inverse que le catalyseur et la sonde oxygène amont correspondante soient à une température relativement élevée pour pouvoir parfaitement fonctionner. La connaissance de la température à l'entrée du pot catalytique 26 permet donc de savoir si la sonde oxygène amont est prête et donc si les informations qu'elle fournit doivent être prises en considération. On peut également prévoir un chauffage de la sonde oxygène amont et du catalyseur lorsque la température ce ceux-ci n'est pas suffisante. Dans un moteur atmosphérique ou turbocompressé, il est connu de l'homme du métier de modéliser la température dans le conduit d'échappement à la sortie des cylindres 4. De nombreux paramètres sont utilisés pour déterminer cette température comme par exemple, et non exclusivement, le régime moteur, le débit d'air, la richesse du mélange carburant/comburant envoyé dans les cylindres, l'avance à l'allumage, etc.... La présente invention propose de calculer la température à l'entrée du pot catalytique 26, c'est-à-dire en sortie de turbocompresseur, à partir de la température (modélisée) en amont du turbocompresseur. Pour ce faire, elle propose de retrancher de la cartographie de base déterminant la température avant le turbocompresseur 14 une cartographie dépendante du régime moteur et du débit d'air traversant le moteur multipliée par un facteur de compression adiabatique dépendant d'un paramètre tel la pression à l'échappement et/ou l'ouverture de la vanne de décharge du turbocompresseur 24. La figure 2 illustre un schéma expliquant la manière dont la température en aval du turbocompresseur 14, à l'entrée du pot catalytique 26, est déterminée selon l'invention. Sur cette figure 2, on remarque une courbe tridimensionnelle schématisée dans une première fenêtre 28. Un repère orthogonal est également schématisé dans cette fenêtre 28. La courbe représentée schématiquement donne une variation de température TC déterminée à partir du régime moteur N et du débit d'air MAF mesuré par le débitmètre 12. Ainsi, un axe du repère correspond au régime moteur N, un second axe au débit d'air MAF tandis que le troisième axe indique la valeur de la variation de température TC. Sous la fenêtre 28 se trouve une seconde fenêtre 30 à l'intérieur de laquelle sont représentés une courbe et un repère orthogonal à deux axes. L'axe des abscisses correspond à un paramètre tandis que l'axe des ordonnées correspond à un facteur multiplicatif α. Le paramètre en abscisse peut être la pression à l'échappement PE mesurée dans le conduit d'échappement 22 à la sortie des cylindres 4. Il peut également s'agir de la différence de pression entre cette pression d'échappement PE et la pression atmosphérique régnant à l'extérieur du moteur. Il peut enfin s'agir de l'ouverture (en degré ou en pourcentage) de la vanne de décharge du turbocompresseur 24. Cette ouverture est appelée WG sur la figure 2. On considère que la température dans le conduit d'échappement 22 en amont du pot catalytique 26 prend la valeur Tamont- De même, en aval du turbocompresseur 14, la température prend une valeur Tavaι. Soit alorsThe present invention relates to a method for determining the temperature before entering a catalytic converter of a turbocharged engine. In a catalyzed engine, it is important to know the temperature at the level of the catalytic converter so as not to destroy it. This temperature is important for various functions: protection of the catalyst and its upstream oxygen sensor, detection of ready upstream oxygen sensor, heating of upstream oxygen sensor as well as heating of the catalyst. On some engines these four functions, or at least part of them, do not exist. On other motors, these functions are regulated in open loop. It is also known for the management of these functions to take into account less precise parameters than the temperature at the inlet of the catalytic converter. On an atmospheric engine, it is known to model the temperature at the inlet and at the outlet of the catalytic converter. The temperature of the exhaust leaving the engine is also known by mapping. The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method making it possible to reliably determine in a catalyzed turbocharged engine the inlet temperature of the exhaust gases into the catalytic converter, that is to say downstream of the turbocharger. To this end, it proposes a method for determining the temperature of the exhaust gases downstream of the turbine of the turbocharger in a turbocharged engine, which comprises the following steps: - determination of the temperature upstream of the turbocharger turbine, - calculation of a corrective term from engine operating parameters, and - determination of the temperature downstream of the turbocharger turbine by subtracting the corrective term of the temperature upstream of the turbocharger turbine. This determination is very simple to perform, but as it has been shown, the determination of the temperature obtained by this process allows obtain temperatures substantially in line with those recorded using a temperature probe to confirm this process. The temperature upstream of the turbocharger turbine can be determined using a temperature sensor, but to minimize the cost of the corresponding engine it is preferably obtained by modeling. It is known to a person skilled in the art to model this temperature and this modeling is already used to avoid overheating of the turbocharger. This modeling is for example carried out by an electronic device integrated into the engine management and control device. The calculation of the corrective term can then advantageously be carried out by this same electronic device. In a preferred embodiment, the corrective term is obtained first of all by a predetermined curve giving a temperature variation as a function of the engine speed and the air flow rate passing through the engine, then by the multiplication of this temperature variation by a adiabatic compression factor. The adiabatic compression factor is advantageously dependent on at least one physical quantity chosen from the assembly comprising the pressure at the engine exhaust, the difference between this pressure and the external pressure and the opening of a pressure relief valve of the turbocharger. In practice, only one quantity gives excellent results. To then define the three-dimensional curve giving the temperature variation, depending on the engine speed and the air flow, we vary this engine speed and the air flow for example by keeping the quantity (s) constant (s) ) on which the adiabatic compression factor depends. Details and advantages of the present invention will better match the description which follows, given with reference to the appended schematic drawing in which: FIG. 1 schematically represents the architecture of a turbocharged engine, and FIG. 2 is a diagram to explain the operation of a method according to the invention. Figure 1 very schematically shows an air supply and exhaust system of a turbocharged engine. This system makes it possible to supply fresh air to an engine in which at least one piston 2 moves in a cylinder 4. Fresh air enters the cylinder 4 through an opening controlled by an intake valve 6. A valve 8 is in turn provided for the exhaust of the burnt gases out of the cylinder 4. The air supply system shown comprises, from upstream to downstream, an air inlet 10, a mass air flow meter 12 , a turbocharger 14, a chamber called an intercooler 16, a butterfly valve 18 disposed in a duct through which the air supplying the cylinders passes and making it possible to act on the air flow section of this duct, as well as a manifold d intake generally called manifold 20. The intake valves 6 are in direct connection with the intake manifold 20. The exhaust valves 8 are in turn in direct connection with an exhaust duct 22. To avoid clutter the drawing, this exhaust duct 22 is only shown at the cylinder outlet and at the level of the turbocharger 14. The latter comprises two turbines connected together by a shaft. A first turbine is disposed in the exhaust duct and is rotated by the burnt gases leaving the cylinders 4 by the exhaust valves 8. The second turbine is disposed, as indicated above, in the supply system for engine air and pressurizes the air in the intercooler 16. Conventionally, a turbocharger discharge valve 24 makes it possible to short-circuit the turbine placed in the exhaust duct 22. At the outlet of the turbocharger, the exhaust gases pass through a catalytic converter 26 before being discharged into the open air. The method described below makes it possible to determine the temperature of the exhaust gases as they enter the catalytic converter 26. As indicated in the preamble, knowing this temperature is important for the functioning of the catalytic converter 26. This catalytic converter 26 contains an upstream oxygen sensor (not shown) which gives indications to the engine management device to act on the richness of the fuel / oxidant mixture sent by the air supply system in the cylinders 4. Knowledge of the temperature upstream of the catalytic converter 26, and downstream of the turbocharger 14, makes it possible to protect the catalyst and the upstream oxygen sensor from excessively high temperatures. When an excessively high temperature is detected, it is possible to act on the engine supply in order to reduce the temperature of the exhaust gases leaving the cylinders 4. Conversely, the catalyst and the probe must also be corresponding upstream oxygen are at a relatively high temperature to be able to function perfectly. Knowing the temperature at the inlet of the catalytic converter 26 therefore makes it possible to know whether the upstream oxygen sensor is ready and therefore whether the information which it provides must be taken into consideration. It is also possible to provide for heating of the upstream oxygen sensor and of the catalyst when the temperature thereof is not sufficient. In an atmospheric or turbocharged engine, it is known to a person skilled in the art to model the temperature in the exhaust duct at the outlet of the cylinders 4. Many parameters are used to determine this temperature, for example, and not exclusively, the engine speed, the air flow, the richness of the fuel / oxidizer mixture sent into the cylinders, the ignition advance, etc. The present invention proposes to calculate the temperature at the inlet of the catalytic converter 26, that is to say at the outlet of the turbocharger, from the temperature (modeled) upstream of the turbocharger. To do this, it proposes to subtract from the basic mapping determining the temperature before the turbocharger 14 a mapping dependent on the engine speed and the air flow rate passing through the engine multiplied by an adiabatic compression factor depending on a parameter such as the pressure at the exhaust and / or the opening of the discharge valve of the turbocharger 24. FIG. 2 illustrates a diagram explaining how the temperature downstream of the turbocharger 14, at the inlet of the catalytic converter 26, is determined according to l 'invention. In this FIG. 2, there is a three-dimensional curve shown diagrammatically in a first window 28. An orthogonal coordinate system is also shown diagrammatically in this window 28. The curve represented diagrammatically gives a variation in temperature TC determined from the engine speed N and of the MAF air flow measured by the flow meter 12. Thus, one axis of the reference corresponds to the engine speed N, a second axis to the MAF air flow while the third axis indicates the value of the temperature variation TC. Under window 28 is a second window 30 inside which are represented a curve and a two-axis orthogonal coordinate system. The abscissa axis corresponds to a parameter while the ordinate axis corresponds to a multiplicative factor α. The parameter on the abscissa can be the pressure at the PE exhaust measured in the exhaust duct 22 at the outlet of the cylinders 4. It can also be the pressure difference between this PE exhaust pressure and the atmospheric pressure prevailing outside the engine. Finally, it may be the opening (in degree or in percentage) of the discharge valve of the turbocharger 24. This opening is called WG in FIG. 2. It is considered that the temperature in the exhaust duct 22 upstream of the catalytic converter 26 takes the value T am have- Similarly, downstream of the turbocharger 14, the temperature takes a value T ava ι. So then
Δ l = I amont - I aval- Selon la présente invention, on considère que ΔT = α. TC. On a donc Tavaι = Tamont-α. TC. Pour réaliser la cartographie représentée schématiquement dans la fenêtre 28, on maintient le paramètre de la fenêtre 30 (WG, PE, Patm - PE) constant. On fait alors varier à la fois le régime moteur et le débit d'air dans le moteur pour obtenir une variation de température TC. Sur la figure 2, on a représenté schématiquement la construction de deux points de la cartographie de la fenêtre 28. Ces points donnent les valeurs TC0 et TCi lorsque le couple (MAF, N) prend respectivement les valeurs (MAF0, N0) et (MAF-i, Ni). Les valeurs TCo et TCi trouvées correspondent à une ouverture de la vanne de décharge du turbocompresseur 24 correspondant à une valeur WG0. Une fois cette cartographie réalisée, on réalise la courbe de la fenêtre 30. Pour ce faire, on fait alors varier la valeur du paramètre WG. On a schématisé sur la figure 2 l'obtention de deux points de la courbe de la fenêtre 30 avec les valeurs du paramètre WG valant WGi et WG2. On obtient alors respectivement des coefficients i et cc2- Pour ainsi connaître dans un moteur turbocompressé la température à l'entrée du pot catalytique 26, on détermine tout d'abord, de manière connue, la température en amont du turbocompresseur 14. Cette fonction est déjà connue et réalisée sur certains moteurs. Il convient alors en fonction du régime moteur N et du débit d'air MAF mesuré par le débitmètre 12 de déterminer la valeur TC. De même, en fonction de la variable choisie, WG, PE ou Patm - PE, de déterminer à l'aide de la courbe correspondante le facteur correctif α. En multipliant le coefficient TC par α on obtient ΔT le terme correctif permettant de déterminer immédiatement la valeur Tavaι. Ce procédé a été validé sur des moteurs et permet d'obtenir de manière assez précise la température en aval du turbocompresseur, à l'entrée du pot catalytique 26. Il est donc ainsi possible de connaître précisément cette température sans utiliser de capteur. En outre, il n'est pas nécessaire de mettre des moyens électroniques supplémentaires en œuvre pour déterminer cette température. En effet, lorsqu'un véhicule est équipé de moyens permettant de connaître la température en amont du turbocompresseur, les mêmes moyens peuvent déterminer la température en aval de ce turbocompresseur à l'aide d'un procédé selon l'invention. Le surcoût lié à la détermination de cette température à l'entrée du pot catalytique 26 est donc très faible tout en apportant de grands avantages en ce qui concerne la durée de vie du catalyseur et de la sonde oxygène amont qui l'équipe. Pour illustrer l'avantage apporté par la détermination de la température à l'entrée du pot catalytique 26 un exemple numérique est indiqué ci-après. On considère généralement que la température d'entrée des gaz d'échappement dans le turbocompresseur ne doit pas dépasser environ 1000°C. En ce qui concerne la sonde oxygène amont, il est préférable de ne pas dépasser des températures de l'ordre de 750°C. Dans le cas où des températures proches de 1000°C sont obtenues en amont de la turbine d'échappement du turbocompresseur 14, par exemple 950°C, on arrive en aval du turbocompresseur à des températures pouvant atteindre 850°C. Dans le cas où la sonde oxygène est proche de la turbine du turbocompresseur, il est alors nécessaire de déclencher un enrichissement en carburant du mélange brûlé pour abaisser la température à l'entrée du pot catalytique 26. Dans les moteurs de l'art antérieur, aucun enrichissement n'est prévu pour protéger la turbine puisque la valeur limite de 1000°C n'est pas atteinte. La présente invention ne se limite pas à la forme de réalisation du procédé ci-dessus décrite à titre d'exemple non limitatif. Elle concerne également toutes les variantes de réalisation à la portée de l'homme du métier dans le cadre des revendications ci-après. Δ l = I upstream - I downstream- According to the present invention, it is considered that ΔT = α. TC. We therefore have T ava ι = T a mont-α. TC. To carry out the mapping represented schematically in window 28, the parameter of window 30 (WG, PE, P atm - PE) is kept constant. We then vary both the engine speed and the air flow in the engine to obtain a temperature variation TC. In FIG. 2, the construction of two points of the cartography of window 28 is represented diagrammatically. These points give the values TC 0 and TCi when the pair (MAF, N) takes the values (MAF 0 , N 0 ) respectively. and (MAF-i, Ni). The values TCo and TCi found correspond to an opening of the discharge valve of the turbocharger 24 corresponding to a value WG 0 . Once this mapping has been carried out, the curve of window 30 is produced. To do this, the value of the parameter WG is then varied. We have shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2 the obtaining of two points of the curve of window 30 with the values of the parameter WG being equal to WGi and WG 2 . We then obtain coefficients i and cc2- respectively In order to know the temperature at the inlet of the catalytic converter 26 in a turbocharged engine, the temperature upstream of the turbocharger 14 is first of all determined in a known manner. This function is already known and performed on certain engines. It is then appropriate, as a function of the engine speed N and of the air flow MAF measured by the flow meter 12, to determine the value TC. Similarly, depending on the variable chosen, WG, PE or P at m - PE, determine the corrective factor α using the corresponding curve. By multiplying the coefficient TC by α we obtain ΔT the corrective term allowing the value T ava ι to be determined immediately. This process has been validated on engines and makes it possible to obtain the temperature downstream of the turbocharger fairly precisely, at the inlet of the catalytic converter 26. It is therefore thus possible to know this temperature precisely without using a sensor. Furthermore, it is not necessary to use additional electronic means to determine this temperature. In fact, when a vehicle is equipped with means making it possible to know the temperature upstream of the turbocharger, the same means can determine the temperature downstream of this turbocharger using a method according to the invention. The additional cost linked to the determination of this temperature at the inlet of the catalytic converter 26 is therefore very low while bringing great advantages with regard to the lifetime of the catalyst and of the upstream oxygen sensor which equips it. To illustrate the advantage provided by the determination of the temperature at the inlet of the catalytic converter 26, a numerical example is indicated below. It is generally considered that the inlet temperature of the exhaust gases into the turbocharger should not exceed approximately 1000 ° C. With regard to the upstream oxygen sensor, it is preferable not to exceed temperatures of the order of 750 ° C. In the case where temperatures close to 1000 ° C. are obtained upstream of the exhaust turbine of the turbocharger 14, for example 950 ° C., one arrives downstream of the turbocharger at temperatures which can reach 850 ° C. In the case where the oxygen sensor is close to the turbine of the turbocharger, it is then necessary to trigger a fuel enrichment of the burnt mixture to lower the temperature at the inlet of the catalytic converter 26. In the engines of the prior art, no enrichment is planned to protect the turbine since the limit value of 1000 ° C is not reached. The present invention is not limited to the embodiment of the method described above by way of nonlimiting example. It also relates to all the variant embodiments within the reach of those skilled in the art within the scope of the claims below.
