Definitions
- Exhaust gas treatment device and method for operating an exhaust gas treatment device are Exhaust gas treatment device and method for operating an exhaust gas treatment device
- the invention relates to an exhaust gas treatment device for an internal combustion engine, having a first particle filter and a second particle filter arranged downstream of the first particle filter in the flow direction of the exhaust gas through the exhaust gas treatment device.
- the invention relates to a method for operating such an exhaust gas treatment device.
- WO 2008/043422 A1 describes an exhaust gas treatment device for an internal combustion engine.
- a second particle filter is arranged downstream of a first particle filter.
- a volume of the second particulate filter is preferably less than 30% of the first particulate filter, so that the second particulate filter has a lower particle absorption capacity than the first particulate filter.
- a lower porosity of the second particle filter compared to the first particle filter can lead to a reduced particle absorption capacity of the second particle filter. Due to the comparatively low particle absorption capacity of the second particle filter, an increase in the loading of the second particle filter can be detected relatively quickly. A malfunction of the first particulate filter or a reduced degree of separation of the particles on the first particulate filter can be detected so that measures for restoring the functionality of the first particulate filter can be taken.
- Object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust gas treatment device or a method of the type mentioned, by means of which or by means of which an impairment of the functionality of the first particulate filter can be detected even faster.
- the exhaust gas treatment device for an internal combustion engine has a first particle filter and a second particle filter arranged downstream of the first particle filter in the flow direction of the exhaust gas through the exhaust gas treatment device.
- the second particle filter comprises at least one carrying device through which the exhaust gas can flow, on which a filter unit is arranged, wherein a pore size of the filter unit is smaller than a pore size of the at least one carrying device.
- the invention is based on the finding that, in the case of a second particle filter known from the prior art, a reduction in its particle absorption capacity is provided by the provision of a particularly small volume of the same limits. In fact, if the second particle filter is dimensioned too small, its mechanical stability is limited. In the present case, the porous support device through which the exhaust gas can flow ensures sufficient mechanical stability of the second particle filter. As a result, the second filter unit, which has the smaller pore size compared to the carrying device, can be configured comparatively filigree and optimized for the particularly effective separation of particles.
- the filter unit is designed as a filter membrane applied to the support means. Loading of the filter membrane then increases very rapidly as a result of damage, for example a crack, in the first particle filter. A period until the determination of the impairment of the functionality of the first particulate filter is then particularly low. As a result, a particularly high accuracy can be achieved when determining a reduction in a separation efficiency of the first particle filter. Furthermore, this construction of the second particulate filter whose space requirements, weight and cost are particularly low. In addition, the second particulate filter increases the back pressure of the exhaust gas treatment device only slightly.
- the pore size of the filter unit is at least half, in particular half to one tenth, of the pore size of the at least one support device.
- the pore size of the filter unit can also be, for example, one fifth of the pore size of the at least one support device. This is particularly effective to ensure that the retention of the particles in the exhaust gas ström through the filter unit. Thus, an increase in the load of the second particulate filter can be detected particularly quickly and accurately.
- the filter unit is designed for retaining particles by means of surface filtration.
- the filter unit can be flowed through by the exhaust gas with a very low pressure loss.
- soot particles can not penetrate into the filter unit, but are retained on the surface of the filter unit.
- the filter unit may in particular have microfiltration properties, so that soot particles of less than 10 .mu.m in diameter, in particular soot particles with a diameter of 10 .mu.m to 0.1 .mu.m, are retained particularly well by the filter unit.
- a thickness of the at least one support means is a multiple of a thickness of the filter unit. Characterized in that the filter unit is thus designed to be particularly thin compared to the support means, the filter unit for the exhaust gas on a good flow through.
- a porosity of the at least one support device is a multiple of the porosity of the filter unit. The thus compared to the support means few and relatively fine pores having filter unit is so in case of damage of the first particulate filter, such as when this has a crack or a hole due to repeated temperature changes or due to a long service life, very quickly. An associated significant increase in the pressure drop across the second particle filter is very easy and clearly detectable even with less sensitive and thus particularly robust pressure detection means.
- a smallest extension of the at least one support device transversely to the flow direction of the exhaust gas is a multiple, in particular at least five times, a thickness of at least one support device.
- the diameter is thus a multiple, in particular five times or ten times, the thickness of the carrying device.
- the at least one support means and the filter unit are at least partially formed of a same material.
- the material forming the carrying device and the filter unit may in particular be a metallic or ceramic material.
- the support device may be formed as a metallic wire mesh, as a single-layer or multi-layer sieve or as a metal foam component.
- the filter unit formed for example as a filter membrane can then be a dense metal fiber fleece. Such a fleece of metal fibers preferably has a felt-like structure. Fibers of the nonwoven fabric may be connected to each other during the manufacture of the filter unit and / or the second particle filter, for example by sintering.
- soldering or welding can be used to connect the separately produced filter unit to the carrying device.
- the support device and the filter unit can alternatively be produced in the same manufacturing process.
- the filter unit is likewise formed from a porous ceramic material.
- Metallic or ceramic materials used for the carrying device and the filter unit are advantageously resistant to high temperatures, so that an arrangement in close proximity to the first particle filter can be provided.
- Such high temperature resistant materials withstand a temperature load of 900 ° C, in particular from 1200 ° C to 1300 ° C, without damage. This is particularly advantageous when high temperatures occur in the exhaust gas treatment device during regeneration of the particulate filter, ie when burning off soot deposited on the particulate filter.
- the at least one carrying device can be arranged downstream and / or upstream of the filter unit. If the carrying device is arranged both upstream and downstream of the filter unit, a cohesive connection of the filter unit to at least one of the carrying devices can be dispensed with, since the filter unit can be fixed in position by the carrying devices arranged on both sides. If the at least one carrying device is arranged upstream of the filter unit, then the carrying device can assume a separating function for particles in addition to its supporting function. In this case, the second particle filter also has properties of a depth filter, since particles are deposited both in channels and / or pores of the support device and on the surface of the filter unit.
- the filter unit is arranged between two carrying devices, then the two carrying devices may differ with regard to the material used for each of them and / or with regard to their structure and / or their porosity and / or their pore size.
- the second particle filter may be arranged at least substantially perpendicular or inclined to the flow direction of the exhaust gas in the exhaust gas treatment device. By arranging inclined to the flow direction of the exhaust gas in the exhaust gas treatment device, an enlargement of the effective for the deposition of particles surface of the second particle filter can be achieved. When installed perpendicular to the flow direction, however, a particularly small space requirement is given.
- the support device may be connected to the inner wall by welding or soldering.
- a fiber mat or the like may be provided between the inner wall of the exhaust gas treatment device and the at least one carrying device, wherein the carrying device is fixed in position in the exhaust gas treatment device by a clamping action of the fiber mat. This clamping effect is improved in particular by an expansion of the fiber mat at elevated temperature of the exhaust gas treatment device.
- the second particulate filter may have at least one elevation.
- the elevation is preferably oriented counter to the flow direction of the exhaust gas, in order to prevent accumulation of particles in a constriction area of the second particle filter.
- a plurality of concentric elevations may be provided.
- the second particle filter may have a plurality of mutually parallel elevations, so that the second particle filter in longitudinal section has a corrugated profile.
- the second particle filter is arranged to be regenerable in the exhaust gas tract by heat transfer, the heat transfer Transmission by means of a thermal regeneration of the first particulate filter is effected.
- the burning off of soot which was separated from the exhaust gas by means of the first particle filter, leads to a burning off of soot on the second particle filter.
- On a separate regeneration of the second particulate filter can be dispensed with.
- the second particle filter can be arranged within a housing surrounding the first particle filter. In this case, a distance of a few centimeters between the first particle filter and the second particle filter may be provided. Alternatively, at least in some regions, there may be a contact contact between the first particle filter and the second particle filter.
- the second particulate filter may be housed in a separate housing, which has an enlarged cross-section compared to a region of the exhaust tract upstream of this separate housing.
- the second particle filter By arranging the second particle filter in the housing, which surrounds the first particle filter, or in the separate housing, the second particle filter can therefore have a particularly large flow-through cross-section and, associated therewith, a particularly low flow resistance.
- the exhaust gas treatment device pressure detection means and an evaluation wherein by means of the evaluation device, a difference in pressure between a point upstream of the second particulate filter and a point downstream of the second particulate filter with respect to a state of the first particulate filter is evaluable.
- the difference can be determined here by means of a differential pressure sensor or by means of two absolute pressure sensors. If the value of the difference exceeds a threshold value, then damage to the first particulate filter can be deduced. In contrast, at a Falling below the threshold value to be closed to a non-critical state of the first particulate filter.
- Such evaluation of the difference in the condition of the first particulate filter is particularly safe and rapid.
- a supplementary or alternatively predictable evaluation of a temperature rise at the second particle filter during thermal regeneration of the same would enable a detection of damage of the first particle filter only during the regeneration. Since the thermal regeneration is performed at different time intervals, a damage of the first particulate filter is then not always immediately detectable.
- an already existing measuring device for detecting the pressure drop at the first particle filter in particular a measuring line, may optionally be used.
- a reference value of the difference characterizing the state of the first particle filter is stored in a memory.
- the memory can in this case be arranged in the evaluation device.
- the reference value of the difference in the initial startup of the exhaust treatment device characterizes a new condition of the first and the second particulate filter. If, compared to the reference value for the new condition of the first particulate filter, a value of the difference is detected which is greater than a threshold value, it is possible to conclude an erroneous condition of the first particulate filter by means of the evaluation device.
- a faulty state of the first particulate filter can be communicated in particular via a communication device, for example in the form of an optical and / or acoustic alarm signal or a display or the like.
- the reference value characterizing the state of the first particle filter is preferably variable as a function of aging of the first particle filter.
- the reference value may hereby be stored in the memory in the form of a characteristic curve, which represents an operating time of the exhaust gas treatment device and / or an exhaust gas flow rate through the exhaust gas treatment device and / or a fuel flow rate of the internal combustion engine having the exhaust gas treatment device and / or if the exhaust gas treatment device is arranged in a vehicle Vehicle considered.
- temperature profiles of the exhaust gas treatment device can be used to characterize the aging of the first particle filter.
- the value of the difference formed from measured values can be damped and / or, in particular using a low-pass filter, filtered processed in the evaluation or attenuated or filtered the evaluation be handed over.
- the pressure drop across the second particulate filter can in particular be evaluated continuously.
- a normalization is preferably carried out in order to obtain a value independent of the volume of exhaust gas flow passed through.
- the exhaust gas treatment device has pressure detecting means for detecting the pressure upstream and downstream of the first particulate filter.
- the loading state of the first particulate filter can be determined as a function of a pressure drop at the first particulate filter.
- a differential pressure sensor can be used.
- an absolute pressure sensor may be provided upstream and downstream of the first particulate filter, respectively.
- only one absolute pressure sensor is present at a location upstream of the first particulate filter and the pressure downstream of the first particulate filter is calculated via a model.
- this variable can be used to check the plausibility of the state of the first particle filter determined by measuring the pressure drop at the second particle filter.
- the measuring point arranged downstream of the first particle filter of the pressure detecting means can be used for determining the pressure drop at the first particle filter and for determining the pressure drop at the second particle filter.
- the pressure sensing means may be used to calculate a ratio of a difference in pressure between a location upstream of the second particulate filter and a location downstream of the second particulate filter to a difference of Pressure between a location upstream of the first particulate filter and a point downstream of the first particulate filter to determine.
- a ratio determined on the basis of the pressure-detecting means can be determined by means of the evaluation device with a stored in a memory Ratio are compared and evaluated with regard to a state of the first particulate filter.
- the ratio stored in the accumulator is usually greatest in the new condition of the exhaust gas treatment device and decreases as the operating time of the exhaust gas treatment device increases. A damage of the first particulate filter can be concluded by means of the evaluation device when the ratio determined on the basis of the pressure sensing means increases again during the operation of the exhaust gas treatment device.
- the evaluation device is designed to evaluate the ratio determined on the basis of the pressure detecting means as a function of a thermal regeneration of at least the first particle filter. This is based on the knowledge that the stored in the memory, the new state of the exhaust gas treatment device characterizing ratio is most achievable then when the first particulate filter and the second particulate filter have just been regenerated.
- certain ratio always evaluate when just a thermal regeneration of at least the first particulate filter has occurred. In this case, for example, an average value of the ratio can be determined within a predetermined time window.
- the exhaust gas treatment device comprises an exhaust gas recirculation line branching off downstream of the second particle filter and in particular having a throttle device.
- the second particle filter then serves to retain particles originating from the first particle filter, which particles may be present there as a result of damage or due to the production of the first particle filter.
- the second particulate filter when the exhaust gas recirculation line opens upstream of a compressor of an exhaust gas turbocharger in an intake tract of the internal combustion engine, the second particulate filter is used to protect the compressor from damage by such particles.
- the second particulate filter disposed upstream of the branch of the exhaust gas recirculation passage does not contribute to increasing the back pressure of the exhaust gas recirculation passage, so that the exhaust gas recirculation passage has an undiminished effective scavenging slope.
- the above-mentioned object is achieved by a method for operating an exhaust gas treatment device for an internal combustion engine, in which exhaust gas is filtered by means of a first particle filter and by means of a second particle filter arranged downstream of the first particle filter in the flow direction of the exhaust gas through the exhaust gas treatment device.

This is particularly useful if the absolute pressure downstream of the second particulate filter 6 is to be used as an input variable for regulating the low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation rate through the exhaust gas recirculation line 8.
- the pressure detecting means includes three absolute pressure sensors 24 in place of the differential pressure sensors 20, 21.

- measurement of the absolute pressure downstream of the second particulate filter 6 may be omitted.
- the detection of the differential pressure at the second particle filter 6 by means of the differential pressure sensor 21 can then be dispensed with.
- the pressure drop across the second particle filter 6 can be evaluated, in particular continuously, by means of an evaluation device, which can be arranged in a control device, not shown here, for controlling the internal combustion engine 1.
- the pressure drop is compared with a comparison value which characterizes a new condition of the first particulate filter 5. If the measured pressure drop exceeds the comparison value by a predetermined threshold value, an alarm is triggered in a monitoring device of the control device, which is also referred to as an OBD unit (on-board diagnosis).
- OBD unit on-board diagnosis
- the threshold value is stored in the form of a characteristic which takes into account the aging of the first particle filter 5.
- the pressure drop across the second particulate filter 6 may be related to the pressure drop across the first particulate filter 5.
- the measured ratio is compared with a ratio characterizing the new condition of the exhaust gas treatment device 13. The alarm is triggered when the high ratio in the new state increases rather than decreases and / or exceeds the value of the new state.
- the ratio is preferably formed following a common thermal regeneration of the particulate filters 5, 6 from the measured values measured by the pressure sensing means.
