Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for determining the fill level in a tank in which (liquid) reducing agent, such as a urea water solution, is stored, in particular for a mobile application in the motor vehicle sector.
- (liquid) reducing agent such as a urea water solution
- exhaust gas purification devices in which a reducing agent for reducing certain exhaust gas components is supplied.
- a reducing agent for reducing certain exhaust gas components For example, nitrogen oxide compounds (NOx) in the exhaust gas can be removed particularly effectively if ammonia is supplied to the exhaust gas as a reducing agent.
- NOx nitrogen oxide compounds
- Typical reducing agents, such as ammonia are hazardous substances and therefore should not be stored directly in motor vehicles. Therefore, reducing agent is kept regularly as reducing agent precursor in a separate tank as additional fuel in the motor vehicle.
- a typical reducing agent precursor is, for example, urea. This is z. B. in the form of a 32.5-urea-water solution stored in the vehicle.
- Such a urea-water solution is available, for example, under the trade name "AdBIue.” Such a urea-water solution typically freezes at temperatures of -11 ° C. A device for conveying or metering liquid reducing agent is then Such low temperatures can occur in motor vehicles, in particular as a consequence of long downtimes.
- the invention relates to a method for operating a tank, which has a sensor with a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact. have contact, which comprises at least the following steps:
- step d) comparing the conductance determined in step c) with the guide values determined in steps al) to a.3) and determining whether liquid reducing agent, frozen reducing agent or air is present.
- the method according to the invention is also partially illustrated in connection with various embodiments of a tank for a reducing agent. Accordingly, this tank is particularly suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention and is therefore described in advance for the purpose of illustration.
- It has a tank wall and an at least partially bounded by the tank wall interior, wherein on the tank wall, a sensor having a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact is arranged, wherein the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact with the interior in electrically conductive Connection, the tank wall penetrate from the inner space to an outer side of the tank wall, and at a first distance of less than 5 cm [centimeters] are arranged to each other.
- the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact are preferably arranged at a first distance of less than 3 cm, more preferably even less than 2 cm. So that the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact penetrate the tank wall, it is essentially meant that the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact makes electrical connection from the interior of the tank to an outside of the tank.
- At least the first electrical contact and / or the second electrical contact may be formed by a metallic pot which is arranged in the tank.
- a metallic pot which is arranged in the tank.
- Such a pot can be, for example, a housing for a metering device, which serves to convey reducing agent out of the tank.
- At least the first electrical contact and / or the second electrical contact can also be formed by a withdrawal line, a return line, a withdrawal or a discharge for the metering device.
- An extraction line, a return line, a withdrawal and a discharge are different lines that connect the metering device for promoting reducing agent with the interior of the tank s.
- the first electrical contact it is necessary for the first electrical contact to be electrically insulated from the second electrical contact so that electrical properties of the reducing agent in the tank can be determined.
- the tank wall is preferably made of plastic.
- the electrical contacts which together form the sensor, are preferably cast in the tank wall.
- at least one sealing element may be cast into the tank wall, which seals the electrical contacts against the tank wall.
- the electrical contacts are preferably designed as metallic pins.
- these metallic pins may have a surface structure that favors the sealing of the tank wall to the metallic pins.
- a groove may also be formed in the metallic pins into which a sealing element, such as an O-ring seal, engages.
- the metallic pins may also have a recess through which improved sealing of the pins in the tank wall is achieved. It is also possible that the electrical contacts penetrate the tank wall individually. But it is also possible that the metallic pins are arranged in a common sealing element and this sealing element is inserted as a whole in the tank wall or penetrates the tank wall.
- a plurality of such sensors may be provided, but it is preferred to provide only a single sensor on such a tank.
- Several such sensors may for example be provided in a tank in order to be able to reliably measure at least one of the sensors at low filling levels and / or an inclined position of the tank. At low levels, it may happen due to an inclined position of the tank, that no reducing agent is present at a sensor, although at a certain amount of reducing agent stored in the tank with horizontal alignment of the tank to the sensor would actually be present reducing agent. Consequently, the error rate of the level detection system can be reduced.
- aggregate state eg liquid or frozen
- the reserve level in the tank is preferably determined near the bottom of the tank because near the bottom both electrical contacts may be located at an equal height.
- an arrangement in the vicinity of the tank bottom allows a particularly advantageous determination of a residual volume.
- a residual volume regularly only represents a surface covering of the tank bottom.
- a sensor arranged in the tank bottom can also be arranged in the middle of the tank bottom. As a result, the sensor is less susceptible to sloshing in the tank and / or to a possible tilt of the tank, because sloshing and / or an inclined position (particularly pronounced) change the level just away from the center - at the edge near the side tank walls - cause.
- tanks in motor vehicles may be installed in such a way that access to the tank is only possible from below. Therefore, the sensor z. B. particularly well accessible for maintenance when it is located in the tank bottom.
- the senor can also be arranged on a tank wall.
- a plurality of sensors for example between two sensors and ten sensors, at a specific height over a circumference of the tank.
- monitoring of the tank can take place by means of this plurality of sensors, whereby at least one of the sensors is suitable for a representative measurement even in the case of inclined position and in the event of sloshing movements in the tank.
- the level signals determined by the individual sensors can be evaluated in a suitable controller in order to arrive at a corrected fill level signal. For example, an average value can be formed from the individual fill level signals in order to determine whether a reserve level to be monitored has been undershot or not. In a further embodiment variant, a distinction can also be made as to whether a reserve level has fallen below or not by comparing the number of sensors in which reducing agent is present with the number of all available sensors. If z. B. more than half of the sensors reports that the reserve level is below, the reserve height can be set as below.
- a statistical evaluation of the level signals of the plurality of sensors for example by means of a principal component analysis, is also possible.
- a shoulder with a reserve height is arranged in the region of the electrical contacts. This paragraph isolates the electrical contacts up to the reserve height. In this way, a reserve level amount is precisely defined when arranged in the tank bottom electrical contacts.
- the tank when the tank has a heater, and the heater is disposed at a distance of less than 50 cm [centimeter] to the sensor. Preferably, the second distance is less than 20 cm, and more preferably less than 10 cm.
- the heater is arranged for this purpose, in particular in the vicinity of the tank bottom.
- This heater is preferably a controllable, electrical heater (eg having at least one element from the group heating wire, heating foil, PTC element, cooling water heating).
- a heating coil is preferably passed through the tank through which the cooling water heated by the internal combustion engine flows and gives off heat energy to the reducing agent in the tank.
- the operation of a heater in the vicinity of the tank bottom forms a cavity in the frozen reducing agent (so-called "ice cave") in which (partially) liquid reducing agent is present
- the sensor can be used to determine the size of this ice cave, which can be determined by means of a conductivity measurement to determine whether liquid reducing agent or frozen reducing agent is present on the sensor
- the energy introduced into the tank by the heater can also be taken into account.
- a temperature sensor is mounted. Due to their own electrical conductivity, electrically conductive contacts also regularly have a good thermal conductivity.
- the tank wall preferably made of plastic, however, has a poor thermal conductivity.
- the electrical contacts This can be used to attach a temperature sensor on the outside of a tank wall and to determine with this temperature sensor via one of the two electrical contacts a temperature on the inside of the tank wall or in the interior of the tank. Such a sensor further improves the possibilities for determining a temperature distribution in the tank.
- the guide values of liquid reducing agent and frozen reducing agent are regularly so different that it can be concluded by determining the conductance whether liquid reducing agent or frozen reducing agent is present.
- Air is compared to reducing agent is a very good electrical insulator, so that air can be detected by a conductance determination between the two electrical contacts and air.
- the conductance of frozen reducing agent and the conductance of air are similar.
- the difference between the conductance of the frozen reductant and the conductance of air is significantly smaller than the differences between the conductance of air and the conductance of liquid reductant, and the conductance of frozen reductant and the conductance of liquid reductant.
- the method is particularly advantageous if a temperature sensor is provided on the tank and in step d) a temperature measured with this temperature sensor is taken into account.
- a temperature measured with this temperature sensor is taken into account.
- the conductance values of frozen reducing agent and of air do not differ so much from each other as the liquid reducing agent conductance. For this reason, it may be advantageous if, in order to distinguish whether air or frozen reducing agent is present, a measured temperature is taken into account in step d). If the temperature is above a threshold temperature, for example, more than -10 ° C or preferably more than -5 ° C and more preferably more than 0 ° C, no frozen reducing agent may be present, so that based on the conductance only between air and liquid Reducing agent must be distinguished.
- step d) it can be taken into account in step d) which values were measured in previous process iterations.
- step d) it can be taken into account whether and / or to what extent a heater was operated in a time interval before the procedure was carried out. If, for example, frozen reducing agent was detected in a preceding process iteration and, in addition, a heater was operated in step d) for thawing the reducing agent, it can be expected that liquid reducing agent will first be detected before air is detected. A conductance, which is normally characteristic of air, can thus be evaluated in step d) in such a way that frozen reducing agent is present if no liquid reducing agent could be detected in the meantime.
- the method according to the invention is furthermore particularly advantageous when the method steps a1) to a.3) are carried out in advance, the guide values of liquid reducing agent, frozen reducing agent and air are stored in a first store and then for step d) the guide values of liquid reducing agent, frozen reductant Onsffen and air are read out of this first memory.
- This first memory can be stored in a control unit such as the engine control of a motor vehicle.
- a control unit such as the engine control of a motor vehicle.
- a conductance measured at an earlier time point can be used. At this time, there should certainly have been liquid reductant in the tank. Whether this is the case can be determined with a temperature sensor.
- steps a) to a.3) can be carried out in advance in a test setup.
- These guide values can also be stored in a first memory, from which they are read out for the execution of step d) in later operation.
- the memory may in this case be a read-only memory which is not rewritable.
- reducing agent is regularly a 32.5 percent urea-water solution.
- the urea content may vary somewhat.
- impurities can also occur in the solution.
- the conductance values in particular the conductivities of liquid reducing agent and frozen reducing agent
- the method steps a1) to a.3) should at least be carried out if the properties of the reducing agent (detectable) could have changed. This is especially to be done after filling the tank with reducing agent, because the filled reducing agent may have different properties.
- an alternating voltage is applied in step b) to the first electrical contact and to the second electrical contact, which changes between a positive voltage value and a negative voltage value.
- the AC voltage is rectangular.
- the AC voltage is symmetrical. By this is meant that the negative voltage proportion and the positive voltage proportion correspond in form and amount. Thus it can be prevented that form deposits on one of the two contacts as a result of electrolysis.
- the method is advantageous if the tank has a heater and the method is extended by the following steps:
- step d) activating the heater if it has been determined in step d) that frozen reducing agent is present;
- step d) Disabling the heater if it has been determined in step d) that air is present.
- the invention finds application in a motor vehicle, comprising an internal combustion engine with an exhaust gas treatment device having a metering device for reducing agent, wherein the metering device has a tank described herein and a controller, and the controller is adapted to carry out the method according to the invention.
- a motor vehicle comprising an internal combustion engine with an exhaust gas treatment device having a metering device for reducing agent, wherein the metering device has a tank described herein and a controller, and the controller is adapted to carry out the method according to the invention.
