Definitions
- Non-fuel emissions which are to be found in the area of material emissions, eg of plastic parts, fresh paints, adhesives or sealing materials
- fuel -Emissions which occur in the field of fuel-carrying components and components (tank system, fuel lines, internal combustion engine with attachments).
- Fuel emissions arrive essentially with the engine off from the engine compartment (piston chamber) via open valves in the air intake tract and the exhaust system. Emissions through the exhaust system are considered to be uncritical because the fuel vapors are retained / degraded by the catalyst.
- Dumps (barriers that prevent the emission of fuel) are significantly reduced in order to comply with the limits for the entire vehicle can.
- the reduction of emissions of volatile compounds in the motor vehicle sector will be realized through far-reaching measures covering the entire vehicle.
- the measures include, for example, the use of new or modified materials in the non-fuel and fuel sectors, but also the application of specific emission-reducing measures.
- Fuel and are limited in their sizing, since they must be a maximum of a few millimeters strong, so as not to lead to an excessive performance degradation. However, this in turn has a negative effect on the adsorption behavior of the activated carbon nonwovens. In the worst case, high concentra- rations to a so-called breakthrough. This means that the organic compounds, despite their fleece, reach the outside atmosphere via diffusion processes from the interior of the engine and a vehicle does not comply with the limit value in the case of an official test.
- activated carbon nonwovens In addition to the activated carbon nonwovens, other passively acting systems, eg “HC catalyst”, “activated carbon bypass”, activated carbon lining of the wall materials of the air intake system, etc., are currently being tested for their suitability for everyday use, including the diffusion behavior of volatile organic compounds from the engine compartment to take advantage of the outdoors.
- CARB's US-American and California legislation in particular is at the forefront of global emissions of volatile organic compounds, with the world's lowest levels.
- the CARB Legislative Limits have been adopted by other US states and nations (Korea, Japan) and are binding there as well.
- the EU will follow suit as part of new draft legislation.
- an emission cleaning system is thus provided which is arranged on the intake tract of an internal combustion engine
- At least one filter unit which is connected to the device for sucking in the air and has an air outlet, as well as
- the proposed solution according to the invention for suppressing the emissions of volatile organic compounds via the air intake tract of internal combustion engines consists in the active reduction of the concentration of volatile compounds in the air intake tract. This can be done either by a predetermined time interval or when a threshold value is exceeded. If a threshold is reached in the vicinity of the opening to the outside atmosphere, it is preferably active for a short time, e.g. via a fan, a blower, a pump or by vacuum
- a targeted backwashing of the filter unit can take place, for example, during later engine operation, during which, if appropriate, the volatile organic compounds could then be supplied to the combustion in the engine.
- the advantage here is that no fuel is lost by diffusion.
- the monitoring of the threshold value in the vicinity of the opening to the outside atmosphere can take place, for example, via sensors in the air intake system, which are suitable for registering differences in the concentration of readily volatile organic compounds in air.
- the at least one sensor is in the region of the opening to the outside air the control unit arranged and controls / controls the device for sucking air in dependence on the measured emission.
- At least two spaced-apart sensors are arranged in the region of the opening to the outside air of the intake tract.
- a preferred sensor is in particular a
- WLD WLD
- FID FID
- PID PID
- semiconductor IR
- the device for sucking in air is a fan, a blower, a pump or a vacuum unit.
- the filter unit is an activated carbon filter or a molecular sieve. It is likewise advantageous if the filter unit is dimensioned so that 0.01 mg to 100,000 g, preferably 1 mg to 100 g, can be taken up.
- the device for sucking in air and the filter unit with the air outlet in the form of at least one component is arranged on the air intake tract.
- the filter unit is connected to a backwash device, which communicates with the combustion part of the engine.
- a method for reducing the emission of internal combustion engines of vehicles when the engine is switched off by sucking air and sucking in this air via a intake manifold at a given time interval and / or by determining the concentrations of emissions in the intake tract and exceeding a predetermined limit arranged filter unit is guided to the outside.
- timing of the system according to the invention is also conceivable.
- a gas flow would be generated for a short time after defined time intervals. The time interval would be either to determine experimentally or to calculate.
- the method according to the invention can be carried out with a device according to the invention described above.
- Depression is freely selectable (adaptation to the need / emission behavior).
- the technical application covers vehicles (automobiles / cars, boats, ships, buses, trucks, motorcycles, rail vehicles, snowmobiles, snow groomers / internal combustion engines of all manufacturers), which are subject to legal regulations regarding the emission of volatile organic compounds, or the want to reduce the described emissions of volatile organic compounds.
- the invention relates to the technical implementation / method for reducing volatile organic emissions (HC, VOC) from the air intake tract of internal combustion engines by active gas flow through a filter unit with the engine off.
- the generated, active gas flow for reducing the concentration of volatile organic compounds is passed through a filter unit, which is suitable for removing volatile organic compounds from the air by adsorption and / or by catalytic degradation.
- the active gas flow may be ensured by a fan, a blower, a pump, a nozzle, a vacuum unit, an overpressure unit, a combination of several of the listed methods, or by any other means capable of generating a gas flow.
- the filter unit may be filled with an adsorber material suitable for receiving volatile organic compounds and / or a catalytic material suitable for the decomposition of volatile organic compounds.
- the technical application of the filter unit or the method extends to internal combustion engines /
- the amount of adsorptive working material of the filter unit is to dimension according to the resulting amounts of volatile organic compounds and extends over a capacity range of 0.01 mg to 100,000 g volatile organic compounds. Of particular importance are filter units having a capacity of from 1 mg to 100 g of volatile organic compounds.
- Catalytically working materials are to be dimensioned according to the accumulating amounts of volatile organic compounds.
- the catalytic activity of HC-degrading compounds is to be construed for an amount of 0.01 mg to 100,000 g of volatile organic compounds per 24.
- filter units having a catalytic activity for an amount of from 1 mg to 100 g of volatile organic compounds per 24 hours.
- the adsorptive material of the filter unit may optionally be backwashed during driving with wind, the volatile organic compounds being supplied to the combustion process of the engine and the layer being available in regenerated form during the next shutdown process.
- the adsorptive material of the filter unit can optionally be heated to improve the results of the backwashing by thermal desorption.
- an engine block 2 is shown with associated exhaust system 3, wherein in the air intake tract 1 of the engine block 2, the emission control system 5 according to the invention with filter unit and fan, blower, pump or vacuum unit is attached.
- the emission cleaning system 5 is connected via the air inlet opening 4 to the emission cleaning system with the air intake tract 1 of the engine block 2.
