Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of detergent additives to reduce or prevent the formation of deposits in the injection systems of direct injection diesel engines, and more particularly in common rail injection systems.
  • direct-injection diesel engines the fuel is injected through a directly into the combustion chamber-reaching multi-hole injection nozzle of the engine and finely distributed (nebulized), instead of being introduced as in the classic (chamber) diesel engine in a vortex or vortex chamber.
  • the advantage of direct-injection diesel engines lies in their high performance for diesel engines and yet low consumption. In addition, these engines achieve a very high torque even at low speeds.
  • the diesel fuel is pumped by a pump with pressures up to 2000 bar into a high-pressure line, the common rail (literally "common line").
  • spur lines run to the various injectors, which inject the fuel directly into the combustion chamber.
  • the full pressure is always applied to the common rail, which allows a multiple injection or a special injection form.
  • only one injection is possible.
  • Injection in the common rail is essentially subdivided into three groups: (1) preinjection, which substantially achieves softer combustion, so that hard combustion noises ("nails") are reduced and engine running appears quiet; (2.) main injection, which is responsible in particular for a good torque curve; and (3.) post-injection, which provides in particular for a low NO x value.

Abstract

Use of detergent additives (I) for decreasing or preventing the formation of deposits in the injection systems of direct injecting diesel engines.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung von Detergens-Additiven zur Verringerung oder Verhinderung der Bildung von Ablagerungen in den Einspritzsystemen von direkteinspritzenden Dieselmotoren und insbesondere in Common-Rail-Einspritzsystemen.The present invention relates to the use of detergent additives to reduce or prevent the formation of deposits in the injection systems of direct injection diesel engines, and more particularly in common rail injection systems.

Bei in direkteinspritzenden Dieselmotoren wird der Kraftstoff durch eine direkt in den Brennraum reichende Mehrloch-Einspritzdüse des Motors eingespritzt und feinst verteilt (vernebelt), anstatt wie beim klassischen (Kammer-)Dieselmotor in eine Vor- oder Wirbelkammer eingeführt zu werden. Der Vorteil der direkteinspritzenden Dieselmotoren liegt in ihrer für Dieselmotoren hohen Leistung und einem dennoch geringen Verbrauch. Außerdem erreichen diese Motoren ein sehr hohes Drehmoment schon bei niedrigen Drehzahlen.In direct-injection diesel engines, the fuel is injected through a directly into the combustion chamber-reaching multi-hole injection nozzle of the engine and finely distributed (nebulized), instead of being introduced as in the classic (chamber) diesel engine in a vortex or vortex chamber. The advantage of direct-injection diesel engines lies in their high performance for diesel engines and yet low consumption. In addition, these engines achieve a very high torque even at low speeds.

Zur Zeit werden im Wesentlichen drei Verfahren eingesetzt, um den Kraftstoff direkt in den Brennraum einzuspritzen: Die konventionelle Verteilereinspritzpumpe, das PumpeDüse-System (Unit-Injector-System bzw. Unit-Pump-System) und das Common-Rail-System.Essentially, three methods are currently used to inject the fuel directly into the combustion chamber: the conventional distributor injection pump, the unit injector system and the common rail system.

Beim Common-Rail-System wird der Dieselkraftstoff von einer Pumpe mit Drücken bis zu 2000 bar in eine Hochdruckleitung, der Common-Rail (wörtlich "gemeinsame Leitung") gefördert. Ausgehend von der Common-Rail laufen Stichleitungen zu den verschiedenen Injektoren, die den Kraftstoff direkt in den Brennraum injizieren. Dabei liegt auf der Common-Rail stets der volle Druck an, was eine Mehrfacheinspritzung oder eine spezielle Einspritzform ermöglicht. Bei den anderen Injektionssystemen ist dagegen nur eine Einspritzung möglich. Die Einspritzung beim Common-Rail wird im Wesentlichen in drei Gruppen unterteilt: (1.) Voreinspritzung, durch die im Wesentlichen eine weichere Verbrennung erreicht wird, so dass harte Verbrennungsgeräusche ("Nageln") vermindert werden und der Motorlauf ruhig erscheint; (2.) Haupteinspritzung, die insbesondere für einen guten Drehmomentverlauf verantwortlich ist; und (3.) Nacheinspritzung, die insbesondere für einen geringen NOx-Wert sorgt. Bei dieser Nacheinspritzung wird der Kraftstoff in der Regel nicht verbrannt, sondern durch Restwärme im Zylinder verdampft. Das dabei gebildete Abgas/Kraftstoffgemisch wird zur Abgasanlage transportiert, wo der Kraftstoff in Gegenwart geeigneter Katalysatoren als Reduktionsmittel für die Stickoxide NOx wirkt.In the common-rail system, the diesel fuel is pumped by a pump with pressures up to 2000 bar into a high-pressure line, the common rail (literally "common line"). Starting from the common rail, spur lines run to the various injectors, which inject the fuel directly into the combustion chamber. In this case, the full pressure is always applied to the common rail, which allows a multiple injection or a special injection form. For the other injection systems, however, only one injection is possible. Injection in the common rail is essentially subdivided into three groups: (1) preinjection, which substantially achieves softer combustion, so that hard combustion noises ("nails") are reduced and engine running appears quiet; (2.) main injection, which is responsible in particular for a good torque curve; and (3.) post-injection, which provides in particular for a low NO x value. In this post injection, the fuel is not burned in the rule, but evaporated by residual heat in the cylinder. The resulting exhaust gas / fuel mixture is transported to the exhaust system, where the fuel in the presence of suitable catalysts acts as a reducing agent for the nitrogen oxides NO x .

Durch die variable, zylinderindividuelle Einspritzung kann beim Common-Rail-Einspritzsystem der Schadstoffausstoß des Motors, z.B. der Ausstoß von Stickoxiden (NOx), Kohlenmonoxid (CO) und insbesondere von Partikeln (Ruß) positiv beeinflusst werden. Dies ermöglicht beispielsweise, dass mit Common-Rail-Einspritzsystemen ausgerüstete Motoren der Euro 4 Norm theoretisch auch ohne zusätzlichen Partikelfilter genügen können.Due to the variable, cylinder-specific injection of the common rail injection system of the pollutant emissions of the engine, such as the emission of nitrogen oxides (NO x ), carbon monoxide (CO) and in particular of particles (soot) can be positively influenced. This makes it possible, for example, that engines equipped with common-rail injection systems can theoretically meet the Euro 4 standard even without an additional particle filter.

Die Abgasvorschriften der Euro 4 Norm (EU 4), die zu einer verbesserten Luftreinheit in Europa führen sollen, verlangen die Einhaltung bestimmter Grenzwerte, die nicht nur bei Werkeinstellung, sondern auch nach 100000 km Laufzeit des Motors noch eingehalten werden müssen und unter bestimmten Prüfbedingungen gemessen werden. So beträgt der Grenzwert für den Partikelausstoß von Dieselmotoren 0,025 g/km.The Euro 4 emission standard (EU 4), which should lead to improved air purity in Europe, requires compliance with certain limit values, which must be complied with not only at the factory setting but also after the engine has run for 100,000 km and are measured under certain test conditions become. For example, the diesel particulate emissions limit is 0.025 g / km.

Versuche der Anmelderin haben festgestellt, dass es im Laufe des Motorenbetriebs von direkteinspritzenden Dieselmotoren und insbesondere von solchen mit einem Common-Rail-Einspritzsystem zur Bildung von Ablagerungen im Einspritzsystem kommt. Beispielsweise können sich Verkokungsablagerungen an der Einspritzdüse bilden; es kommt aber auch zu Ablagerungen an anderen Teilen des Einspritzsystems. Insbesondere kommt es zur Bildung von Ablagerungen in den Injektoren, was bewirkt, dass diese ein verändertes Ansprechverhalten zeigen, wodurch der Kraftstoff nicht mehr in der richtigen Dosierung eingespritzt wird, d.h. die eingespritzte Menge weicht nach oben oder unten von der ursprünglichen Einstellung ab. Die Ablagerungen können auch bewirken, dass der Kraftstoff nicht mehr ausreichend fein, d. h. nicht mehr mit einer ausreichend kleinen Tröpfchengröße, und/oder nicht mehr mit der richtigen Geometrie vernebelt wird. Insgesamt führt die Bildung von Ablagerungen dazu, dass mit zunehmender Kilometerzahl die Verbrennung immer suboptimaler, insbesondere immer unvollständiger und damit unter Verkokung/Rußbildung verläuft, wodurch die Partikelmenge in den Abgasemissionen des Motors zunimmt und letzten Endes die Grenzwerte der Euro 4 Norm nicht über längere Zeiträume oder nur mit Hilfe aufwendiger Partikelfilter einzuhalten sind.Applicant's experiments have found that in the course of engine operation direct injection diesel engines, and in particular those with a common rail injection system, form deposits in the injection system. For example, coking deposits may form on the injection nozzle; but it also comes to deposits on other parts of the injection system. In particular, deposits are formed in the injectors, causing them to exhibit a different response, thereby no longer injecting the fuel at the correct dosage, i. the injected amount deviates up or down from the original setting. The deposits can also cause the fuel to be insufficiently fine, d. H. no longer with a sufficiently small droplet size, and / or is no longer fogged with the right geometry. Overall, the formation of deposits leads to the fact that with increasing mileage, the combustion is increasingly suboptimal, especially incomplete and thus under coking / soot formation, whereby the amount of particulates in the exhaust emissions of the engine increases and ultimately the limits of the Euro 4 norm not longer periods or can be adhered to only with the help of elaborate particulate filter.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung war es daher, Additive bereitzustellen, welche die Bildung von Ablagerungen in den Einspritzsystemen von direkteinspritzenden Dieselmotoren, speziell in Common-Rail-Einspritzsystemen, verringern oder verhindern sollen.It is an object of the present invention to provide additives which are intended to reduce or prevent the formation of deposits in the injection systems of direct injection diesel engines, especially in common rail injection systems.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die Verwendung von Detergens-Additiven zur Verringerung oder Verhinderung der Bildung von Ablagerungen in den Einspritzsystemen von direkteinspritzenden Dieselmotoren. Insbesondere wird die Bildung von Ablagerungen in Common Rail Einspritzsystemen und dort vor allem in den Injektoren verringert oder verhindert.The object is achieved by the use of detergent additives to reduce or prevent the formation of deposits in the injection systems of direct-injection diesel engines. In particular, the formation of deposits reduced or prevented in common rail injection systems and especially in the injectors.

Insbesondere bleiben dabei die im Ausstoß enthaltenen Partikelmengen deutlich unter dem Grenzwert der Euro 4 Norm. Die angegebenen Werte beziehen sich auf die direkt hinter dem Motor ("engine out") entnommenen Abgasemissionen, d. h. vor einem eventuell eingebauten Partikelfilter, der ja die Partikelmenge im Ausstoß reduzieren würde. Mit Werkeinstellung ist derjenige Zustand des direkteinspritzenden Dieselmotors bzw. des Einspritzsystems gemeint, wie er am Werk, d. h. vor der Auslieferung an die Händler bzw. Endverbraucher, eingestellt ist (sozusagen Kilometer 0). Durch die erfindungsgemäße Verwendung von Detergens-Additiven wird nicht nur eine Einhaltung der Grenzwerte für Partikelemissionen gemäß Euro 4 Norm auch ohne zusätzlichen Partikelfilter über eine Motorlaufzeit von 100000 km gewährleistet, sondern auch für eine deutlich darüber hinaus gehende Betriebszeit.The inventive use of detergent additives ensures that in the exhaust emissions of direct-injection diesel engines, especially diesel engines with a common rail injection system, after 100000 km engine operation preferably at most 2.5 times the amount, more preferably at most 2, 2 times the amount and in particular at most 2 times the amount of particles compared to the factory setting is included. In particular, the quantities of particulates contained in the output remain well below the limit of the Euro 4 standard. The values given refer to the exhaust emissions taken directly after the engine ("engine out"), ie. H. in front of a possibly installed particle filter, which would reduce the amount of particles in the output. By factory setting is meant that state of the direct injection diesel engine or the injection system, as it is at the factory, d. H. before delivery to the dealer or end user (as it were kilometer 0). The use according to the invention of detergent additives not only ensures compliance with the limit values for particle emissions in accordance with the Euro 4 standard, but also without an additional particle filter over an engine running time of 100,000 km, but also for significantly longer operating times.

Beispielexample

Ein Motor mit einem Common-Rail-Einspritzsystem wurde mit einem Dieselkraftstoff gemäß EN 590, der mit 90 Gew.-ppm Kerocom PIBSI (ein Detergens-Additiv der BASF AG, der ein Polyisobutylenbernsteinsäureimid enthält) additiviert war, 70000 km betrieben. Zum Vergleich wurde ein baugleicher Motor mit einem Dieselkraftstoff gemäß EN 590, der kein Detergens-Additiv enthielt, unter gleichen Bedingungen ebenfalls 70000 km betrieben. Die im Ausstoß enthaltenen Partikelmengen wurden direkt hinter dem Motor ("engine out") gemessen. Die Ergebnisse sind in der nachfolgenden Tabelle aufgeführt. Tabelle Dieselkraftstoff Partikelmenge bei 0 km [g/km] Partikelmenge nach 70000 km [g/km] ohne Detergensadditiv 0,008 0,019 mit Detergensadditiv 0,008 0,011 An engine with a common rail injection system was operated with a diesel fuel according to EN 590, which was additized with 90 ppm by weight of Kerocom PIBSI (a detergent additive from BASF AG containing a polyisobutylenesuccinimide), 70,000 km. For comparison, an identical engine with a diesel fuel according to EN 590, which contained no detergent additive, was also operated under identical conditions for 70,000 km. The amounts of particulates in the exhaust were measured directly behind the engine ("engine out"). The results are listed in the table below. table Diesel fuel Particle quantity at 0 km [g / km] Particle quantity after 70,000 km [g / km] without detergent additive 0,008 0.019 with detergent additive 0,008 0.011

Wie die Ergebnisse zeigen, führt die Verwendung von Detergensadditiven zu einer verringerten Partikelmenge in den Abgasen.As the results show, the use of detergent additives leads to a reduced amount of particulates in the exhaust gases.
