Description

TURBOCHARGER EGR MODULE
This application claims the benefit of United States Provisional Application Serial Number 61/394,023 filed October 18, 2011.
TECHICAL FIELD
The technical field generally relates to products including turbochargers for internal combustion engines having an exhaust gas recirculation valve.
BACKGROUND
Federal and State legislation require control of vehicle exhaust emissions. Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) are one of the exhaust gas emissions that must be controlled. Formation of NOx will occur at higher combustion temperatures. A system, referred to as the exhaust gas recirculation system, has been developed to reduce excess oxygen and combustion temperatures to control NOx emissions. A portion of the exhaust gas is recirculated back to the intake where it will be combined with incoming air reducing excess oxygen content in the total air mixture. When this mixture is compressed and ignited in the cylinder, the result is a reduction in NOx due to reduced oxygen content and a lower combustion temperature. A schematic of this system is shown in Figure 1.
The traditional system consists of the "high pressure" EGR loop, named because the EGR loop operates on the high pressure side between the engine and the turbocharger 7. This EGR loop consists of an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve 1 that controls the flow of exhaust gas to the intake manifold 2. The EGR valve shown in Figure 1 is positioned after (cold side) the exhaust gas cooler 5, but it may also be positioned before (hot side) the cooler. As the EGR valve opens and closes it will increase or decrease the flow rate of exhaust gas to the intake manifold. It is also typical to have a throttle valve 6 to control airflow and pressure in the intake manifold and, an exhaust gas cooler 5 to reduce temperature of recirculated exhaust gas, and a cooler bypass valve 4 to bypass exhaust gas around the cooler under certain operating conditions.
To further reduce NOx and improve vehicle fuel economy, recently developed engine systems may add an additional "low pressure" EGR loop that operates on the low pressure side of the turbocharger, after the exhaust turbine and before intake compressor. This system consists of another EGR valve 10 to control the flow rate of exhaust gas to the air intake, and an exhaust throttle valve 11 to control the exhaust back pressure needed to drive the exhaust gas flow. This EGR loop may also includes a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) 9, and an additional exhaust gas cooler 12. Low pressure loop exhaust gas has the additional advantage of passing through the air charge cooler 8 before reaching the engine. Similar to the high pressure loop, the low pressure loop valve can be placed either before (hot side) or after (cold side) the exhaust gas cooler.
EGR valves may be actuated by hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric means.
Pneumatically actuated valves depend upon the availability of pressure or vacuum on the vehicle and this may be an undesirable requirement. They also require a means of electrically controlling the pneumatic source to allow overall electrical control of the system. An electric vacuum or pressure regulator is used to provide this control. Operating force is another factor used in the selection criteria for the type of actuator used for the EGR valve. Higher flow rates require larger valves with greater area and higher operating forces. Lower pressure differential between the exhaust and intake manifold will require larger valves to achieve the desired flow rate. Contamination in the exhaust gas can accumulate on the valve components and cause them to stick or restrict movement if sufficient operating force is not available.
The type of valve technology best suited to a particular application is at least partially driven by the required EGR flow rate. Single poppet valves are well suited for typical engine applications because of low gas leakage passed the valve when the valve is closed. Because the operating forces required typically increase with the valve size, for higher EGR flow rates in moderately sized engines dual poppet valves (two poppet valves on the same shaft) are often chosen; a dual poppet valve increases the flow capacity of a poppet valve while balancing and reducing the required operating forces. For very high EGR flow rates in large engine applications, where a poppet valve or dual poppet valve would need to be very large (> 32 mm in diameter), a throttle valve (or butterfly valve) potentially becomes an attractive solution. A throttle valve is also a potentially attractive solution for "low pressure loop" EGR systems due to lower differential valve pressure and subsequent less stringent requirements for gas leakage when the valve is closed. When compared to a poppet valve: 1) a throttle valve is not typically able to achieve the low leakage rates of a poppet valve, this however is typically of less importance for very large engines. 2) a throttle valve is naturally balanced resulting in lower operating forces for very large valves. 3) a throttle valve can typically achieve a similar EGR flow rate in a smaller diameter valve because of their inherently higher flow efficiency.
EGR valves, and other valves that control the flow of high temperature fluids, may have components that are sensitive to the high temperature. These components may include: actuators, shaft seals, bearings, position sensors, and plastic molded parts. Typical actuators may include: pneumatic devices, linear solenoids, torque motors, stepper motors, and D.C. motors. Additional measures such as liquid cooling, heat shields, remote mounting, or use of expensive materials may be required to achieve suitable durability when operating at the high temperature.
