Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system and method for removing SOx (Sulfur Oxides), and a query generator for this system.
- a diesel engine of a motor vehicle is associated with means of treating its exhaust gas to reduce the amount of pollutants released into the atmosphere and in particular the amount of nitrogen oxide molecules, or NOx.
- the engine can be associated with a NOx trap arranged in the exhaust line thereof and adapted to store such molecules in the form of nitrate at specific storage sites, such as barium for example .
- a fuel supply device of the engine is tipped in rich mixture so that the engine releases in the exhaust line a sufficient quantity of NOx reducers contained in the trap, such as HC and CO .
- the NOx are then reduced and desorbed in the form of N 2 and the storage sites released for a new NOx storage.
- these storage sites are also able to store oxides of sulfur, or SOx, when they are exposed to SOx generated by the engine from the sulfur contained in the fuel and engine lubricating oil.
- SOx oxides of sulfur
- the NOx trap is generally associated with a catalyst arranged upstream of it or integrated on the same support as the trap.
- the catalyst is adapted to burn hydrocarbons from the engine and thereby generate exotherms to raise the temperature of the trap.
- SOx removal systems stored in a NOx trap including:
- a power supervisor capable of performing several tasks including at least: a task of regenerating the NOx trap triggered in response to a regeneration request, the task of controlling a fuel supply device of the engine cylinders for supplying the engine with a rich mixture for regenerating the NOx trap without as much eliminate the SOx,.
- a purge task initiated in response to a purge request of controlling the fuel supply device to supply the engine with a lean mixture to raise and maintain the trap temperature in a range where SOx removal is possible and, alternatively, with a rich mixture for removing SOx, and - a purge request generator capable of sending this request to the power supervisor so that, in response to this request, the power supervisor Schedule the execution of the purge task.
- the power supervisor receives a purge request in response to which it must immediately perform the purge task.
- the invention aims to overcome this disadvantage by proposing a SOx removal system stored in a NOx trap allowing greater flexibility in the scheduling of tasks performed by the power supervisor.
- the subject of the invention is thus such a system for eliminating SOx in which:
- the purge request generator is able to establish the value of a degree of urgency assigned to the purge task, this degree of urgency possibly taking at least two different values, namely a value corresponding to a low emergency level and a value corresponding to a higher emergency level, and associating the degree of urgency established with the purge request sent to the power supervisor when it is necessary to trigger the execution of a purge task, and - the feed supervisor is able to schedule the execution time of the purge task according to the degree of urgency associated with the purge request received.
- the power supervisor can more flexibly plan the tasks he has to perform. For example, if the degree of urgency is low, the supervisor may decide to temporarily suspend this purge task and perform other higher priority tasks or wait for a better time to complete the purge task.
- the generator is able to establish the value of the degree of urgency according to an indicator of the probability of completing the purge task to the end, the value of this indicator being a function of the number of incomplete purge tasks previously planned and triggered; a timer capable of counting the time elapsed since the stopping of an incomplete purge task, and the purge request generator is able to establish the value of the degree of urgency as a function of the time counted by the timer;
- the generator is able to establish the value of the degree of urgency as a function of the measured or estimated engine operating temperature
- an estimator of a dilution rate of the engine lubricating oil with the fuel and the generator is able to establish the value of the degree of urgency as a function of this dilution ratio
- an estimator or a sensor of the quantity of SOx stored in the NOx trap and the generator is able to establish the value of the degree of urgency according to this estimated or measured quantity
- an estimator of the type of rolling of the vehicle from measurements of at least one speed sensor of the vehicle, the value of the type of rolling may take at least two different values, one of which is representative of traffic conditions in an urban environment and the other is representative of traffic conditions on road or highway, and the generator is able to establish the value of the degree of urgency depending on the type of taxiing estimated.
- the use of the probability indicator to complete the purging task to the end makes it possible to increase the degree of urgency in order to limit as much as possible the harmful consequences that may result from a low value of this indicator,
- - using the dilution ratio makes it possible, for example, to reduce the degree of urgency in order to give preference to the engine resistance compared to the durability of the NOx trap, - to use the quantity of SOx stored in the NOx trap to establish the value of the urgency level avoids unnecessary triggering of purge tasks,
- the invention also relates to a purge request generator adapted to be implemented in the SOx removal system above.
- the subject of the invention is also a process for eliminating SOx that can be implemented in the above system, in which:
- the purge request generator sets the value of a degree of urgency assigned to the purge task, this degree of urgency can take at least two different values, namely a value corresponding to a low emergency level, and a value corresponding to a higher urgency level and associating the degree of urgency established with the purge request sent to the feed supervisor, and
- the power supervisor schedules the execution time of the purge task according to the degree of urgency associated with the purge request received.

- the engine 4 is a diesel engine.
- the engine 4 is equipped with cylinders 6 inside which move pistons adapted to rotate a camshaft.
- the engine 4 is associated with a controllable fuel supply device 8 for the cylinders 6.
- the engine 4 is also associated with a device 10 for admitting an air / exhaust gas mixture into the cylinders 6. This mixture is obtained by mixing fresh air with the exhaust gases produced by the engine 4.
- the device 10 is fluidly connected to a recirculation device 12 exhaust gas more commonly known as EGR (Exaust Gas Recirculation).
- EGR Extended Gas Recirculation
- This device 12 is fluidly connected to an outlet 14 of the exhaust gas.
- the outlet 14 is also fluidly connected to an exhaust line 20 for expelling the exhaust gases outside the vehicle 2.
- This exhaust line 20 is successively equipped going from upstream to downstream of a turbocharger 22, a NOx trap 24 and a particulate filter 26.
- the NOx trap 24 also performs the function of excitation catalyst by the integration on its support of catalyst means. This catalyst is able to generate exotherms to raise the temperature of the trap.
- the vehicle 2 is also equipped with a supervisor 30 of the particulate filter 26, a supervisor 32 of the regeneration of the trap 24 and a system 34 for removing SOx stored in the trap 24.
- the supervisor 30 is able to generate a regeneration request intended to trigger a regeneration task of the particle filter 26.
- this supervisor 30 also comprises an estimator 36 of the rolling types of the vehicle 2.
- the type of taxiing can take three different values, namely the value "URBAN”, “ROAD” and “MOTORWAY”.
- the value "URBAN” indicates that the routing conditions of the vehicle 2 are similar to the driving conditions of a vehicle in the city.
- the value "ROUTE” indicates that the driving conditions of the vehicle 2 are similar to those encountered on a national road.
- the value "AUTOROUTE” indicates that the driving conditions of the vehicle 2 are those that meet on a highway.
- the estimator 36 establishes the type of running from different sensors of the operating conditions of the vehicle 2 including a sensor 38 of the speed of the vehicle 2.
- the "URBAN”, “ROAD” and “MOTORWAY” values are respectively associated with three numerical values arranged in ascending order so that a particular type of running may be discriminated by comparison with a predetermined threshold.
- the supervisor 32 is able to generate and send a request for regeneration of the trap 24 when it is necessary to eliminate the NOx stored in the trap 24.
- the sending of this request is, for example, triggered according to: - d an estimate of the temperature TNOx inside the trap 24 delivered by an estimator 40, and
- the system 34 comprises a supervisor 46 of the purge trap 24 as well as a power supervisor 50 capable of controlling the device 8.
- the supervisor 46 comprises:
- the supervisor 46 is also connected to information storage means such as a memory 58, to an SOx trap poisoning estimator 60, to an estimator 62 of the dilution ratio of the lubricating oil of the motor 4, and the sensor 44.
- information storage means such as a memory 58
- SOx trap poisoning estimator 60 to an estimator 62 of the dilution ratio of the lubricating oil of the motor 4, and the sensor 44.
- the memory 58 is intended to store different variables used during the execution of the method of FIG. 2.
- the memory 58 comprises:
- variable "unfavorable deSOx" corresponds to a degree of efficiency at two possible states of the purge task.
- the memory 58 also includes a rule base 66 used by the generator 52 to generate the purge request, and a rule base 68 used by the module 54 to control the purge stop. These rule bases 66 and 68 are detailed below.
- the estimator 60 is able to emit an indicator of the SOx poisoning level of the trap 24. Here, this indicator takes five different values respectively "LOW”, “MEDIUM”, “HIGH”, “VERY HIGH” and “CRITICAL” .
- the estimator 60 is also able to emit an instantaneous SOx elimination velocity VdeSOx of the trap 24 during the execution of the purge task, and an estimate of the mass SOx mSOx currently stored in the trap 24.
- the value of this indicator and of these different estimates are, for example, established from the TNOx estimate of the temperature inside the trap 24 and the information delivered by a proportional ⁇ probe 70 able to measure the richness of the mixture entering into the trap 24.
- the estimator 60 continuously calculates the mass of SOx stored in the trap 26. For example, for this purpose, two different calculations are performed. Indeed, one of these calculations relates to the speed of storage of the SOx and the other the VdeSOx speed destocking thereof. According to whether a purge task is in progress or not, a switch integrates one or other of the speeds to continuously estimate the mass mSOx of sulfur in the trap.
- the calculation of the SOx storage rate is in fact the sum of two storage speeds, namely that due to the sulfur contained in the fuel consumed by the engine and that due to the sulfur contained in the lubricating oil consumed by the engine. .
- the storage rate of SOx from the fuel consumed by the engine is calculated assuming the sulfur content of the fuel constant, ie for example 10 ppm.
- Instantaneous engine consumption fuel (Qcarb) is determined by performing the sum of the flow rates of the different injections used, namely the pilot injections (Qpilot,), main (Qmain,) and post-injections (Qpost,) according to the relation:
- This instantaneous consumption is then multiplied by the sulfur content of the fuel, which gives the storage speed resulting from it.
- the storage speed of the sulfur resulting from the oil consumed by the engine is calculated from the oil consumption by the engine, which is a calibrated value, for example in g / 1000 km traveled, multiplied by the content of the fuel. sulfur oil which is also a calibrated value.
- the release rate VdeSOx is calculated when a purge task is executed.
- the mSOx mass of SOx in the trap 24 decreases with each passage in operating mode of the engine fed with rich mixture.
- a predetermined destocking model is then used to represent the evolution of the mSOx mass during the purge task.
- This model is capable of delivering an estimate of the velocity VdeSOx (g / s) as a function of the value of the richness of the gases as delivered by the proportional lambda probe 70 and the temperature inside the trap 26 estimated by the estimator 40.
- the mass mSOx is compared with different thresholds, for example predetermined, to estimate a level of poisoning of the depollution means.
- this mass can be compared to four predetermined thresholds to define five levels of poisoning, namely a low poisoning level, a medium level, a high level, a very high level and a critical level, the level correspondent being transmitted to the supervisor 46 and involved in the decision to start and stop a purge task.
- the estimator 62 estimates the dilution value of the oil from oil dilution maps by the fuel and its evaporation during the operation of the engine in its various modes and from the duration of the engine. operation of this engine according to each mode. For example, for this purpose, an hourly oil dilution estimation module and an oil hourly evaporation estimation module are used.
- modules are for example in the form of predefined dilution and evaporation maps during the development of the engine and the associated depollution means, which receive as input various information relating to the operating conditions of the engine, such as, for example, information on engine rotational speed, fuel flow rate and engine operating mode.
- the evaporation module also receives as input oil temperature information and overall dilution rate thereof.
- the dilution map is established based on the speed, the flow rate and the mode of operation of the engine while the evaporation map is established based on the speed, the flow rate, the operating mode, the oil temperature and the overall dilution rate.
- the values obtained from overall D-global dilutions are then compared with predetermined thresholds in order to affect the dilution ratio, by example, four different values, namely "low”, “medium”, “high” and "critical".
- the estimator 40 establishes the estimate TNOx by means of two sensors 72 and 74 of the temperature of the exhaust gases respectively upstream and downstream of the trap 24.
- the base 66 includes rules which make it possible to establish the value of a degree of urgency assigned to the purge task of the trap 24 according to the estimates made by the estimators 36, 60, 62 and the temperature measured by the sensor. 44.
- the rules of the base 66 are, for example, the following: Rule 0:
- the urgency value is "0" when none of the following rules apply. In this case, it is not necessary to schedule the execution of a purge task and no purge request is transmitted to the supervisor 50.
- the urgency value is equal to "1" when:
- the level of poisoning is equal to “medium” or “high” or (the level of poisoning is equal to “very high” and the type of rolling is below a predetermined threshold)
- the degree of urgency is equal to "1"
- the degree of urgency is kept equal to "1" in order not to rush the triggering of this purge task.
- the degree of urgency is equal to "2" if: - (the dilution ratio is equal to "low” or “medium” or “high”)
- the level of poisoning is equal to "very high” and the type of rolling is greater than a predetermined threshold
- the degree of urgency is equal to "3" if:
- the trap When the degree of urgency is equal to "3", the trap has a critical level of poisoning. It is therefore crucial for its durability and for to avoid irreversible damage by requesting the execution of a purging task on an urgent basis.
- the degree of urgency is equal to "4" if: - (the dilution level is equal to "low” or “medium” or “high”)
- the degree of urgency is equal to "4" when the supervisor 46 has detected a number of failed executions of the purge task (the variable "critical SOx condition" has passed from the false value to the true value). This means that the supervisor 46 has significant difficulties in effectively performing the purge task. Consequently, it becomes a priority to watch for any favorable condition in order to try to succeed in this purging task.
- the degree of urgency therefore takes the value "4" as soon as the taxi conditions are favorable and whatever the amount of SOx in the trap 24.
- the failure of the previous purging tasks means that the driving conditions are very low. seldom favorable and it is therefore wise that the degree of urgency takes the value "4" in order to take advantage of the moment when the running conditions will finally become favorable. It should be noted that the degree of urgency systematically takes the value "0" when:
- the base 68 includes rules for determining whether a stop command of the purge task is to be issued. For example, base 68 includes the following rules:
- this speed VdeSOx is integrated from the beginning of the execution of the purge task in order to obtain a mass mdeSOx eliminated since the beginning of the execution. of the purge task and this mass mdeSOx is compared with a predetermined threshold whose value increases as a function of the time elapsed since the start of the execution of the purge task.
- the supervisor 46 is connected to the supervisor 30 to receive the information that a regeneration task of the filter 26 is to be performed.
- the supervisors 30, 32 and 46 are connected to the supervisor 50 so that the latter can receive the regeneration requests of the trap 24 and the filter 26 as well as the purge requests and the stop commands of the execution of the request. the purge task.
- the supervisor 50 is also able to inform the supervisor 30 that a purge task has been performed.
- the supervisor 50 comprises a common decision module 80 receiving the regeneration and purge requests and able to schedule according to these requests the times at which the regeneration and purging tasks can be executed.
- This module 80 is able to activate a regeneration controller 82 of the filter 26, a trap purge controller 84 and a trap regeneration controller 86.
- the controllers 82 and 86 are adapted to control the feed device 8 according to a predetermined strategy to trigger and execute a regeneration task respectively of the filter 26 and the trap 24.
- the regeneration task of the trap 24 can be executed in accordance with the teaching of the patent EP 0 859 132.
- the controller 84 is able to control the device 8 to perform the purge task of the trap 24.
- This purge task is, for example, performed in accordance with the teaching of the patent application FR 04 07884 filed on July 15, 2004 in the name of of of PEUGEOT CITROEN AUTOMOBILES SA.
- the common decision module 80 is also associated with information storage means such as a memory 90 containing a rule base 92.
- the base 92 contains rules for scheduling and scheduling the execution of the regeneration and purge tasks.
- the rules for scheduling and scheduling the execution of the regeneration tasks of the filter 26 and the purge of the trap 24 are as follows:
- Rule 8 makes it possible to start the execution of a regeneration task of filter 26 only if no purge task of trap 24 is to be executed.
- the fact that the degree of urgency is equal to "2", "3” or "4" means that it is urgent to purge the trap 24 without waiting for that a request for regeneration of the filter 26 is received.
- the SOx elimination system 34 is made from a programmable electronic computer capable of executing instructions recorded on an information recording medium 96.
- the recording medium 96 includes instructions for performing the method of Figure 2 when these instructions are executed by the electronic computer. The operation of the system 34 will now be described in more detail with respect to the method of FIG.
- the operating conditions of the motor 4 are measured. For example, during this step 100, the temperature of the cooling water of the engine 4 is measured, during an operation 102, by the sensor 44 and the speed of the vehicle 2 is measured during an operation
- the operating conditions of the exhaust line 20 are also measured. For example, when step 106, the temperatures upstream and downstream of the trap 24 are measured, during an operation 108, by the sensors 72 and 74 and the richness of the gas mixture upstream of the trap 24 is measured, during an operation 110, by the probe 70. Then, from the various measurements made, the operating conditions of the trap 24 are estimated, during a step 1 14. For example, during step 114, the temperature TNOx at inside the trap 24 is estimated, during an operation 116, by the estimator 40. It is also during this step 1 14 that the estimator 60 estimates, during an operation 1 18, the level of poisoning. trap 24, velocity VdeSOx and mass mSOx.
- step 1 14 In parallel with step 1 14, during steps 120 and 122, the oil dilution ratio and the type of rolling of the vehicle are estimated respectively by the estimators 62 and 36.
- a phase 130 of supervision of the regeneration of the filter 26, a phase 132 of supervision of the regeneration of the trap 24 and a phase 134 of supervision of the purge of the trap 24 are executed in parallel.
- These different supervision phases consist in sending to the supervisor, when necessary, a regeneration request or a purge request. Since the supervision of the regeneration of the trap 24 is carried out conventionally, this will not be described in detail.
- phase 130 is performed in a conventional manner except that the regeneration request of the filter 26 is generated during an operation 140, taking into account that a purge task has been executed.
- a purge task also causes the regeneration of the filter 26 and must therefore be considered by the supervisor 30 as a regeneration task of the filter 26 in order to properly emit the next regeneration request of this filter .
- phase 134 leading to the sending of a purge request to the supervisor 50 will now be described in more detail.
- the generator 52 acquires the different estimates made by the estimators 36, 60 and 62 as well as the operating temperature measured by the sensor 44. Then, during a step 144, it also acquires the values of the variables "failed SOx tempo" and "critical SOx condition".
- the generator 52 establishes the degree of urgency assigned to the purging task by applying the rules defined in the base 66.
- a step 148 if the value of the emergency degree established is different from "0", then during a step 150, the generator 52 generates a purge request in which it incorporates the value of the degree of urgency. established urgency and sends this purge request to the supervisor 50. In the case where the degree of urgency established is equal to "0", no purge request is sent to the supervisor 50.
- the supervisor 50 executes a phase 160 of supervision of the fuel supply of the engine 4. More precisely, at the beginning of this phase 160, during a step 162, the supervisor 50 receives the requests transmitted by the supervisors 30, 32 and 46.
- step 164 the common decision module 80 orders and schedules the execution times of the regeneration and purging tasks triggered by the receipt of the requests.
- step 164 the module 80 schedules the execution of these tasks by applying the rules defined in the database 92.
- step 166 the controllers 82, 84 and 86 are activated to execute the scheduled tasks during step 164.
- the decision module 80 informs the supervisor 30 so that this information can be taken account at step 140.
- controller 82 If the controller 82 is activated, then it executes, during a phase 170, a regeneration task of the filter 26.
- controller 86 If the controller 86 is activated, then it executes, during a phase 172, a task of regeneration of the trap 24.
- controller 84 executes a phase 174 of elimination of the SOx stored in the trap 24.
- Phases 170 and 172 are conventionally made and will not be described here in more detail.
- the device 8 is controlled so as to feed initially the engine 4 with a first lean mixture allowing a rise in temperature inside the trap 24 above 650 ° C and preferably above 700 ° C. Then, the device 8 is controlled to feed the engine with a rich mixture for removing the SOx stored in the trap 24.
- the temperature inside the trap 24 decreases. Therefore, these rich fuel supply phases are alternated with lean fuel supply phases so as to maintain the temperature inside the trap 24 at around 700 ° and for example in a range between 650 ° and 750 ° C.
- the module 54 monitors the progress of this phase to request in a timely manner the stopping of the purge task of the trap 24 by applying the rules of the base 68.
- the module 54 assigns the variable "unfavorable deSOx" the false value. Also at the moment of the triggering of the purge task, during a step 182, the module 54 acquires the mass mSOx (t 0 ) of SOx stored in the trap 24 at this instant.
- the module 54 acquires the speed VdeSOx and the mass mSOx (t) at the current time.
- the speed VdeSOx is integrated in the interval of time elapsed since the beginning of the execution of the purge task to obtain a mass m st (t) of SOx eliminated since the beginning of the execution. of the purge task.
- This mass m st (t) is compared, during a step 188 to the mass mSOx (to) acquired during step 182. If these are equal, it means that almost all the SOx has been eliminated.
- trap 24 and the module 54 controls, in a step 190, stopping the purge task. Then, during a step 192, the module 54 resets the value of the variable "counter deSOx successively stranded" to zero and assigns the false value to the variable "condition of critical SO.sub.x" during a step 194.
- Phase 174 then ends and the process returns to steps 100 and 106.
- the module 54 compares, during a step 200, the mass m st (t) to a predetermined threshold increasing according to the time elapsed since the launch of the execution of the purge task.
- This threshold is represented by an increasing line 202 in the graph of FIG. 3.
- a line 204 also represents an example of evolution over time of the mass m st (t).
- the instant t 0 represents the start time of the execution of the purge task. If the mass m st (t) is less than the predetermined threshold, the module 54 checks, in a step 210, whether the execution of a regeneration task of the filter 26 has been required but not yet completely executed. In the example of FIG. 3, it is assumed that a regeneration task of the filter 26 has been required from the instant 0 and does not end until the instant ti as represented by the arrow 212.
- the module 54 affects, during a step 216, the value true to the variable "deSOx unfavorable" then command, during a step 218, stopping the purge task. Indeed, it means that it runs too slowly to be effective. Under these conditions, it is more appropriate to interrupt the purge task to resume later when the conditions for performing this purge task will be more favorable. This therefore makes it possible to limit the wear of the trap 24, to limit the dilution of oil in the engine and to limit the overconsumption of fuel for the customer since the duration of the purging tasks is shortened.
- the module 54 activates the timer 56, during a step 220.
- This timer 56 maintains the value of the variable "tempo deSOx unfinished "to the true value for a predetermined time interval after stopping an inefficient purge task.
- the value of the variable "counter deSOx successively failed” is incremented by a predetermined step.
- the value of this counter is then compared, during a step 224, with a predetermined threshold. If this predetermined threshold is exceeded, in a step 226, the value "true” is assigned to the variable "condition critical SOxx” then the process returns to steps 100 and 106. Otherwise, the process returns directly to the steps 100 and 106 without changing the value of the variable "critical SOx condition".
- step 200 If during step 200, it is established that the mass m st (t) is greater than the predetermined threshold or if, during step 210, it is established that a regeneration task is running, the module 54 does not control the stopping of the purge task and returns to step 184.
- the mass m st (t) is below the predetermined threshold, but this does not trigger stopping of the purge task because a regeneration task is currently in progress.
- the generation of a purge request associated with a degree of urgency or the control of the stopping of the purging task as described here can be implemented in a vehicle whose exhaust line has no particulate filter but, for example, only a NOx trap.
- Other methods for estimating the dilution rate or poisoning level of the trap 24 may be used as described herein. It is the same for the estimation of the type of rolling.
- some of these estimators are alternatively replaced by sensors.
- some sensors, such as, for example, the sensor 44 are alternatively replaced by estimators.
- the system 34 has been described here in the particular case where a degree of urgency is associated with the purge request in order to add a degree of flexibility to the planning of the tasks performed by the supervisor 50.
- the urgency of the regeneration task of the filter 26 is associated with the regeneration request issued by the supervisor 30.
- a degree of urgency is assigned to the regeneration task of the filter 26, it can be used to the place of the degree of urgency assigned to the purge task of the trap 24 or in addition to this last degree of urgency.
- the decision module 80 may be independent of the power supervisor.
