- a first plausibility check of the fluid consumption can be carried out by analyzing a fluid consumption and a knock strength change which takes place through the addition of fluid.
- a certain addition of fluid causes a predeterminable cooling of the cylinder charge and thus the combustion temperature in the cylinder. Consequently, this also causes a predeterminable cooling of the exhaust gas temperature.
- the temperature reduction also achieves a reduction in knocking. A predeterminable amount of fluid thus causes a predeterminable reduction in knocking.

- the fluid admixture that is the amount of admixed fluid, can be reduced, for example, if a knock intensity decreases in order to prevent this
- the fluid addition may be increased as the knock intensity increases to set the knock to a predetermined desired knock value.
- an amount of fluid to be used for combustion may be predetermined, and a corresponding amount of reserve of the fluid may be provided.
- the fluid is added under high pressure in the cylinder or in the fuel system directly into the fuel, so only a calculated amount of fluid must be pressurized.
- a higher efficiency of the entire internal combustion engine can be achieved.
- Also can be made possible by setting a certain or determinable knock strength at the set ignition angle improved compliance with the exhaust gas temperature limits in this way.
- the nominal knock intensity can be compared with an actual knock strength and / or the setpoint exhaust gas temperature with an actual exhaust gas temperature in the control unit.
- the control unit can, analogously to the above descriptions, execute an error log at least in the case of a predetermined deviation from the setpoint and actual value.

- the deviation may in particular be a predetermined, for example percentage, deviation of the Values of each other. In this way, a plausibility of the fluid consumption can take place.
- an error identification or the exclusion of a cause of error can take place when an error occurs in the internal combustion engine. Furthermore, in this way, an amount of fluid can be adjusted, which must be kept depending on an actual fluid consumption.
- An error log that may be performed may include, for example, issuing a fault to an internal or external diagnostic device.
- the diagnostic device may be in particular an on-board diagnostic device (OBD).
- OBD on-board diagnostic device
- a control signal of the control device which can be output due to the occurrence of an error, can also be output in the context of execution of the error log in the control device.

- the amount of fluid can be adapted to the current combustion characteristics. This may allow for improved control of the combustion process. This can also allow a fluid amount that is needed in the future to be detected in advance, since a higher knock strength requires a higher admixture of fluid, if the ignition angle is not to be adjusted.
- the device may also include an exhaust gas temperature sensor.
- the control device may be configured such that an ignition angle of the cylinder is controlled such that an exhaust gas temperature is within a predetermined temperature interval, in particular does not exceed a predetermined exhaust gas temperature.

- the water can be filled by a fluid pump 11.
- the fluid pump 11 is for this purpose connected to the control device 60. Once the control device 60 has determined the amount of fluid to be supplied or the desired rate of fluid addition, the control of the fluid addition takes place. If necessary, then also the control of the knock strength, as described above. For this purpose, the control device outputs a delivery command to the fluid pump 11, which then provides the fluid accordingly.
- the fluid pump 11 thus only promotes the actual volume of fluid to be consumed, thereby reducing fluid consumption and reducing power consumption for holding the fluid.
- the prediction of the rotational speed is made by determining, via the gradient of the actual rotational speed, where the value would lie in a certain time, if the rotational speed continues to change with the same gradient. at the prediction of the load is used instead of the actual charge, which is built up delayed over the exhaust gas turbocharger, the target filling.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Steuern einer Verbrennung in einer Brennkraftmaschine und eine Brennkraftmaschine mit derart gesteuerter Verbrennung.The invention relates to a method for controlling a combustion in an internal combustion engine and an internal combustion engine with such controlled combustion.
In Verbrennungsmotoren, beispielsweise bei Ottomotoren, insbesondere bei hoch aufgeladenen Ottomotoren, kann es zu einer klopfenden Verbrennung kommen. Dies kann zu einer Leistungsreduktion und geringerem Wirkungsgrad bei der Verbrennung führen. Im Extremfall kann dies sogar zu Bauteilbeschädigungen führen.In internal combustion engines, for example in gasoline engines, especially in highly-charged gasoline engines, knocking combustion can occur. This can result in power reduction and lower combustion efficiency. In extreme cases, this can even lead to component damage.
Um dem Klopfen entgegenzuwirken oder vorzubeugen, ist es bekannt, den Zündwinkel des Zylinders nach spät zu verschieben. Dadurch verschlechtert sich jedoch der Wirkungsgrad der Verbrennung, und die Abgastemperatur steigt an. Um der höheren Wärmebelastung des Abgassystems entgegenzuwirken, muss im Bedarfsfall das in den Zylinder eingespritzte Luft-Kraftstoff-Gemisch angefettet, also mit höherem Kraftstoffanteil versehen werden. Dadurch kann sich jedoch der Kraftstoffverbrauch, die Leistung und die Emission verschlechtern.To counteract or prevent knock, it is known to retard the firing angle of the cylinder. As a result, however, the combustion efficiency deteriorates and the exhaust gas temperature increases. To counteract the higher heat load of the exhaust system, if necessary, the injected into the cylinder air-fuel mixture must be enriched, so be provided with higher fuel content. However, fuel consumption, performance, and emissions may degrade.
Um die Klopfneigung zu reduzieren, wird daher ein Fluid, beispielsweise Wasser, direkt in den Brennraum oder in den Kraftstoff gegeben, wodurch die Zylinderladung gekühlt wird, wenn das Fluid verdampft wird. Dadurch kann der Zündwinkel in Richtung früh verstellt werden, und Kraftstoffverbrauch und Leistung des Motors verbessern sich.To reduce the tendency to knock, therefore, a fluid, such as water, is added directly into the combustion chamber or into the fuel, whereby the cylinder charge is cooled when the fluid is evaporated. As a result, the ignition angle can be adjusted toward early, and fuel consumption and performance of the engine improve.
Die
Neue und verschärfte Normen hinsichtlich der Emissionskontrolle von Verbrennungsvorgängen erfordern zudem jedoch die Einhaltung von Grenzwerten bei Abgastemperaturen. Die Abgastemperatur kann durch die Fluidzugabe ebenfalls reduziert werden. Jedoch erfordert dies, dass eine bestimme Fluidmenge permanent vorgehalten werden muss, um eine Beimischung von Fluid zu gewährleisten. Die genaue Fluidmenge ist dabei abhängig von vielen verschiedenen Einflussgrößen, wie Ansauglufttemperatur, Motortemperatur, Kraftstoffqualität, Bauteiltoleranzen, beispielsweise hinsichtlich der Verdichtung in dem Zylinder, Signaltoleranzen, beispielsweise bei der Befüllung des Zylinders, Ablagerungen im Brennraum und andere. Diese Einflussgrößen können nicht ausreichend vorgesteuert oder anderweitig erfasst werden. Daher muss stets eine große Fluidmenge vorgehalten werden, und der Fluidverbrauch erhöht sich.However, new and stricter emission control standards for combustion processes also require compliance with exhaust gas temperature limits. The exhaust gas temperature can through the Fluid addition can also be reduced. However, this requires that a certain amount of fluid must be kept permanently in order to ensure an admixture of fluid. The exact amount of fluid is dependent on many different factors, such as intake air temperature, engine temperature, fuel quality, component tolerances, for example, in terms of compression in the cylinder, signal tolerances, for example, during the filling of the cylinder, deposits in the combustion chamber and others. These factors can not be sufficiently pre-controlled or otherwise recorded. Therefore, always a large amount of fluid must be kept, and the fluid consumption increases.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung bereitzustellen, mit einem reduzierten Fluidverbrauch bei der Verbrennungssteuerung, wobei gleichzeitig eine Steuerung der Abgastemperatur möglich ist, so dass insbesondere Abgastemperaturgrenzwerte eingehalten werden können.It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a method and a device, with a reduced fluid consumption in the combustion control, at the same time a control of the exhaust gas temperature is possible, so that in particular exhaust gas temperature limits can be met.
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist ein Verfahren zum Steuern einer Verbrennung in einer Brennkraftmaschine, insbesondere einem Verbrennungsmotor in einem Kraftfahrzeug, mit wenigstens einem Zylinder vorgesehen, wobei das Verfahren einen Schritt aufweist, in dem eine Klopfstärke in dem Zylinder mittels eines Klopfsensors erfasst wird. In einem weiteren Schritt wird ein vorbestimmter Soll-Zündwinkel des Zylinders, der einer Soll-Abgastemperatur entspricht, eingestellt. In einem weiteren Schritt wird eine Fluidbeimischung in den Zylinder in Abhängigkeit von der erfassten Klopfstärke gesteuert.To achieve the object, a method for controlling a combustion in an internal combustion engine, in particular an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle, is provided, with at least one cylinder, wherein the method comprises a step in which a knock level is detected in the cylinder by means of a knock sensor. In a further step, a predetermined target ignition angle of the cylinder, which corresponds to a desired exhaust gas temperature, is set. In a further step, a fluid addition into the cylinder is controlled as a function of the detected knock intensity.
Das Fluid kann dabei insbesondere Wasser, Ethanol oder ein anderes Fluid sein, das geeignet ist, die Verbrennungstemperatur des Kraftstoffes bzw. die Abgastemperatur zu senken. Eine Abkühlung erfolgt dabei durch die Verdampfungsenthalpie des Fluids in dem Zylinder. Die Beimischung in den Zylinder kann durch Einspritzen des Fluids in den Zylinder und/oder durch Einspritzen des Fluids direkt in den Kraftstoff erfolgen.The fluid may in particular be water, ethanol or another fluid which is suitable for lowering the combustion temperature of the fuel or the exhaust gas temperature. Cooling takes place by the enthalpy of vaporization of the fluid in the cylinder. The admixture into the cylinder may be accomplished by injecting the fluid into the cylinder and / or injecting the fluid directly into the fuel.
Erfindungsgemäß wird bei Auftreten eines Klopfeffekts ein vorgegebener Zündwinkel eingestellt, bei dem eine bestimmte Abgastemperatur erreicht wird. Die Abhängigkeit zwischen dem eingestellten Zündwinkel und dem auftretenden Klopfen ist dabei vorzugsweise vorbekannt und kann in einer Steuervorrichtung, beispielsweise der Motorelektronik, hinterlegt sein. Dem Klopfeffekt kann dann unter Beibehaltung einer, beispielsweise maximalen, Abgastemperatur, durch gezielte Zugabe von Fluid entgegengewirkt werden. So kann eine notwendige Fluidmenge abhängig von dem Klopfsignal besser vorbestimmt werden. Dies erlaubt eine optimale Nutzung des zur Verfügung stehenden Fluids. Zudem kann der Fluidverbrauch verringert werden, wobei gleichzeitig eine verbesserte Einhaltung der Abgastemperaturvorgaben erreicht werden kann.According to the invention, a predetermined ignition angle is set when a knocking effect occurs, at which a certain exhaust gas temperature is reached. The dependence between the set ignition angle and the occurring knocking is preferably previously known and can be used in a control device, For example, the engine electronics, be deposited. The knocking effect can then be counteracted while maintaining a maximum exhaust gas temperature, for example, by targeted addition of fluid. Thus, a necessary amount of fluid can be better predetermined depending on the knock signal. This allows optimal use of the available fluid. In addition, the fluid consumption can be reduced, at the same time improved compliance with the exhaust gas temperature specifications can be achieved.
Auch kann so eine Fluidanforderung früher erkannt und das Fluid kann zuverlässig vorgehalten werden. So kann eine Totzeit ab einer folgenden tatsächlichen Anforderung des Fluids verringert werden, und das Fluid kann im Bedarfsfall schneller an Fluidinjektoren geliefert werden.Also, such a fluid requirement can be detected earlier and the fluid can be kept reliably. Thus, a dead time can be reduced from a subsequent actual request of the fluid, and the fluid can be supplied to fluid injectors more quickly if necessary.
Die Steuervorrichtung kann zudem eine Soll-Menge an Fluid, die in den Zylinder einzuspritzen ist, zumindest basierend auf der Soll-Abgastemperatur und/oder auf der erfassten Klopfstärke bestimmen. Auf diese Weise kann eine Vorhaltemenge des Fluids bereits anhand der erfassten Signale bestimmt werden.The controller may also determine a desired amount of fluid to inject into the cylinder based at least on the target exhaust gas temperature and / or on the detected knock level. In this way, a Vorhaltemenge of the fluid can be determined already on the basis of the detected signals.
Dadurch kann eine erste Plausibilisierung des Fluidverbrauchs durchgeführt werden, indem ein Fluidverbrauch und eine Klopfstärkenänderung, die durch die Fluidzugabe erfolgt, analysiert werden. Eine bestimmte Fluidzugabe bewirkt eine vorbestimmbare Abkühlung der Zylinderladung und somit der Verbrennungstemperatur in dem Zylinder. Folglich bewirkt dies auch eine vorbestimmbare Abkühlung der Abgastemperatur. Durch die Temperaturreduzierung wird auch eine Reduzierung des Klopfens erreicht. Eine vorbestimmbare Menge an Fluid bewirkt also eine vorbestimmbare Reduktion des Klopfens.As a result, a first plausibility check of the fluid consumption can be carried out by analyzing a fluid consumption and a knock strength change which takes place through the addition of fluid. A certain addition of fluid causes a predeterminable cooling of the cylinder charge and thus the combustion temperature in the cylinder. Consequently, this also causes a predeterminable cooling of the exhaust gas temperature. The temperature reduction also achieves a reduction in knocking. A predeterminable amount of fluid thus causes a predeterminable reduction in knocking.
Sollte trotz ausreichender Fluidzugabe eine Reduzierung des Klopfens nicht in einem vorherbestimmten Ausmaß erfolgen, kann dies in einer Steuervorrichtung bestimmt und als eine Fehlermeldung gespeichert oder ausgegeben werden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Steuervorrichtung, insbesondere zur Vorbeugung von Beschädigungen, Steuerbefehle ausgeben, die beispielsweise im akuten Fall eine weitere Erhöhung der Fluidzufuhr bewirken oder eine Abschaltung des betroffenen Zylinders oder des gesamten Motors herbei führen.If, despite sufficient fluid addition, a reduction in knocking does not occur to a predetermined extent, this may be determined in a controller and stored or output as an error message. Alternatively or additionally, the control device, in particular for the prevention of damage, issue control commands which, for example, cause a further increase in the fluid supply in the acute case or cause a shutdown of the affected cylinder or of the entire motor.
Analog oder zusätzlich kann dies für eine Bestimmung der Abgastemperatur vor und nach der Fluidzugabe erfolgen. Ebenfalls analog oder zusätzlich kann auch eine Zündwinkeleinstellung auf diese Weise plausibilisiert werden, insbesondere wenn eine zugegebene Fluidmenge exakt definiert werden kann. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren kann also einen in sich geschlossenen Regelkreis bilden.Analogously or additionally, this can be done for a determination of the exhaust gas temperature before and after the addition of fluid. Also analogously or additionally, a Zündwinkeleinstellung can be plausibility in this way, especially if an added amount of fluid can be defined exactly. The method according to the invention can thus form a self-contained control loop.
Zur Plausibilisierung der Fluidzugabe kann beispielsweise mit dem Klopfstärkensensor vor der Zugabe des Fluids und nach der Zugabe des Fluids die Klopfstärke erfasst und in einer Speichervorrichtung in der Steuervorrichtung gespeichert werden. Analog kann die berechnete und/oder die tatsächlich beigemischte Fluidmenge, falls sich diese von der berechneten Fluidmenge unterscheidet, in der Speichervorrichtung hinterlegt werden. In der Steuervorrichtung kann ein Komparator ausgebildet sein, der einen Vergleich mit vorbestimmten Werten durchführt. Die vorbestimmten Werte können beispielsweise in Form einer Datentabelle, auch als Look-Up-Table (LUT) bezeichnet, vorliegen. Bei einer vorbestimmbaren Abweichung der tatsächlichen Werte von den vorbestimmten Werten können dann ein vorbestimmter Ablauf eines Programmes, beispielsweise eines Fehlerprotokolls, und/oder die Ausgabe eines entsprechenden Steuersignals und/oder weitere Schritte zur Fehlerbehandlung erfolgen.To check the plausibility of the addition of fluid, the knock intensity can be detected, for example, with the knocking strength sensor before the addition of the fluid and after the addition of the fluid, and stored in a memory device in the control device. Analogously, the calculated and / or the actually admixed amount of fluid, if different from the calculated fluid quantity, can be stored in the storage device. In the control device may be formed a comparator, which performs a comparison with predetermined values. The predetermined values can be present, for example, in the form of a data table, also referred to as a look-up table (LUT). With a predeterminable deviation of the actual values from the predetermined values, a predetermined sequence of a program, for example an error protocol, and / or the output of a corresponding control signal and / or further steps for error handling can then take place.
Die Datentabelle kann theoretische Werten, allgemeine praktische Erfahrungswerte und/oder Zylinder- bzw. Motor-spezifische Erfahrungswerte aus dem störungsfreien Betrieb aufweisen.The data table can have theoretical values, general practical empirical values and / or cylinder-specific or engine-specific empirical values from trouble-free operation.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren kann in einer Brennkraftmaschine mit mehreren Zylindern für jeden Zylinder eine selektive Erfassung der Klopfstärke und/oder eine selektive Steuerung der Fluidbeimischung aufweisen. So kann ein Klopfen eines Zylinders gezielt reduziert werden, ohne die Leistung und den Wirkungsgrad der anderen Zylinder zu beeinträchtigen. Dies kann es erlauben, die vorgehaltene Fluidmenge zu reduzieren und den Wirkungsgrad der Brennkraftmaschine, insbesondere des Fahrzeugmotors, an der Klopfgrenze zu erhöhen.In an internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinders, the method according to the invention can have a selective detection of the knock intensity for each cylinder and / or a selective control of the fluid admixture. Thus, a knock of a cylinder can be selectively reduced without affecting the performance and efficiency of other cylinders. This can make it possible to reduce the retained fluid quantity and to increase the efficiency of the internal combustion engine, in particular of the vehicle engine, at the knock limit.
Die Fluidbeimischung, also die Menge an beigemischtem Fluid, kann beispielsweise verringert werden, wenn sich eine Klopfstärke verringert, um dasThe fluid admixture, that is the amount of admixed fluid, can be reduced, for example, if a knock intensity decreases in order to prevent this
Klopfen auf einen vorbestimmten Soll-Klopfwert einzustellen. Entsprechend kann die Fluidbeimischung erhöht werden, wenn sich die Klopfstärke erhöht, um das Klopfen auf einen vorbestimmten Soll-Klopfwert einzustellen. Auf diese Weise kann eine schnelle Reaktion auf die aktuelle Verbrennungscharakteristik erfolgen. Zudem kann eine Fluidmenge, die für die Verbrennung verwendet werden soll, vorbestimmt werden und eine entsprechende Vorhaltemenge des Fluids kann bereitgestellt werden. Insbesondere in Fällen, in denen das Fluid unter Hochdruck in den Zylinder oder in das Kraftstoffsystem direkt in den Kraftstoff gegeben wird, muss so nur eine berechnete Menge an Fluid mit Druck beaufschlagt werden. So kann auch eine höhere Effizienz der gesamten Brennkraftmaschine erreicht werden. Auch kann auf diese Weise durch Einstellen einer bestimmten bzw. bestimmbaren Klopfstärke bei dem eingestellten Zündwinkel eine verbesserte Einhaltung der Abgastemperaturgrenzen ermöglicht werden.Set knock to a predetermined desired knock value. Accordingly, the fluid addition may be increased as the knock intensity increases to set the knock to a predetermined desired knock value. In this way, a quick reaction to the current combustion characteristics can take place. In addition, an amount of fluid to be used for combustion may be predetermined, and a corresponding amount of reserve of the fluid may be provided. In particular, in cases where the fluid is added under high pressure in the cylinder or in the fuel system directly into the fuel, so only a calculated amount of fluid must be pressurized. Thus, a higher efficiency of the entire internal combustion engine can be achieved. Also can be made possible by setting a certain or determinable knock strength at the set ignition angle improved compliance with the exhaust gas temperature limits in this way.
In einem weitergebildeten Verfahren kann die Soll-Klopfstärke mit einer Ist-Klopfstärke und/oder die Soll-Abgastemperatur mit einer Ist-Abgastemperatur in dem Steuergerät verglichen werden. Das Steuergerät kann dabei, analog zu obigen Beschreibungen, zumindest im Falle einer vorbestimmten Abweichung von Soll- und Ist-Wert ein Fehlerprotokoll ausführen. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Steuervorrichtung ein korrigierendes Steuersignal ausgeben.In a further developed method, the nominal knock intensity can be compared with an actual knock strength and / or the setpoint exhaust gas temperature with an actual exhaust gas temperature in the control unit. The control unit can, analogously to the above descriptions, execute an error log at least in the case of a predetermined deviation from the setpoint and actual value. Alternatively or additionally, the control device can output a corrective control signal.
Die jeweiligen Soll-Werte können wiederum theoretische Werte abhängig von verschiedenen vorgegebenen Parametern sein, beispielsweise von einer maximal zulässigen Abgastemperatur unabhängig von dem Zündwinkel, einer Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit, einer Beschleunigung etc. Die Soll-Werte können auch die durch die Steuervorrichtung bestimmten Werte sein, die bei bestimmten eingestellten Parametern zu erwarten sind, beispielsweise die Abgastemperatur für einen vorbestimmten Zündwinkel des Zylinders.The respective desired values may in turn be theoretical values depending on various predetermined parameters, for example, a maximum permissible exhaust gas temperature independent of the ignition angle, a vehicle speed, an acceleration, etc. The desired values may also be the values determined by the control device certain set parameters are to be expected, for example, the exhaust gas temperature for a predetermined firing angle of the cylinder.
Die Steuervorrichtung kann auch eine tatsächlich verbrauchte Fluidmenge und die Soll-Menge an beizumischendem Fluid vergleichen. In einem Fall, in dem eine Abweichung der so verglichenen Fluidmengen festgestellt wird, kann ein Fehlerprotokoll ausgeführt werden. Es kann auch ein korrigierendes Steuersignal aus der Steuervorrichtung ausgegeben werden. Die Abweichung kann insbesondere eine vorgegebene, beispielsweise prozentuale, Abweichung der Werte voneinander sein. Auf diese Weise kann eine Plausibilisierung des Fluidverbrauchs erfolgen. Zudem kann eine Fehleridentifizierung oder der Ausschluss einer Fehlerursache erfolgen, wenn in der Brennkraftmaschine ein Fehler auftritt. Weiterhin kann auf diese Weise auch eine Menge an Fluid angepasst werden, die vorgehalten werden muss, abhängig von einem tatsächlichen Fluidverbrauch.The controller may also compare an actual amount of fluid consumed and the desired amount of admixed fluid. In a case where a deviation of the fluid quantities thus compared is detected, an error log may be executed. A corrective control signal can also be output from the control device. The deviation may in particular be a predetermined, for example percentage, deviation of the Values of each other. In this way, a plausibility of the fluid consumption can take place. In addition, an error identification or the exclusion of a cause of error can take place when an error occurs in the internal combustion engine. Furthermore, in this way, an amount of fluid can be adjusted, which must be kept depending on an actual fluid consumption.
Ein Fehlerprotokoll, das durchgeführt werden kann, kann beispielsweise die Ausgabe eines Fehlers an eine interne oder eine externe Diagnosevorrichtung beinhalten. Bei Verwendung eines Kraftfahrzeugs kann die Diagnosevorrichtung insbesondere ein On-Board Diagnosegerät (OBD) sein.An error log that may be performed may include, for example, issuing a fault to an internal or external diagnostic device. When using a motor vehicle, the diagnostic device may be in particular an on-board diagnostic device (OBD).
Ein Steuersignal der Steuervorrichtung, das aufgrund des Auftretens eines Fehlers ausgegeben werden kann, kann auch im Rahmen der Ausführung des Fehlerprotokolls in der Steuervorrichtung ausgegeben werden. Dieses Steuersignal kann ein Signal sein, das die Fluidzufuhr erhöht oder verringert. Es kann auch ein Signal sein, das den Zündwinkel verstellt, die Kraftstoffzufuhr verändert oder den Zylinder komplett deaktiviert. Das Steuersignal kann auch als Teil eines Regelkreises zur akuten Fehlerbehebung, beispielsweise, um Beschädigungen zu verhindern, ausgegeben werden.A control signal of the control device, which can be output due to the occurrence of an error, can also be output in the context of execution of the error log in the control device. This control signal may be a signal that increases or decreases the fluid supply. It can also be a signal that adjusts the ignition angle, changes the fuel supply or completely deactivates the cylinder. The control signal may also be output as part of an acute fault correction loop, for example, to prevent damage.
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung wird zur Lösung der Aufgabe der Erfindung eine Vorrichtung zum Beimischen eines Fluids zu wenigstens einem Zylinder eines Verbrennungsmotors bereitgestellt mit einer Fluidpumpe und einer Dosiervorrichtung. In der Vorrichtung ist eine Steuervorrichtung ausgebildet, die ausgebildet ist, eine Menge an beizumischendem Fluid zu bestimmen, wobei die Dosiervorrichtung die bestimmte Menge an Fluid in ein Fluidreservoir, ein Krafststoffsystem und/oder ein Luft-Ansaugsystem eindosiert. Als Fluidreservoir kann im Kontext der Erfindung auch eine Fluidleitung verstanden werden, durch die das Fluid strömt.According to a further aspect of the invention, to achieve the object of the invention, an apparatus for adding a fluid to at least one cylinder of an internal combustion engine is provided with a fluid pump and a metering device. In the device, a control device is embodied, which is designed to determine a quantity of admixing fluid, wherein the metering device meters the specific amount of fluid into a fluid reservoir, a fuel system and / or an air intake system. In the context of the invention, a fluid reservoir can also be understood as a fluid conduit through which the fluid flows.
Diese Vorrichtung erlaubt es, eine Fluidmenge, die bei einem Verbrennungsprozess in einem Zylinder beigemischt werden soll, vorzubestimmen, wodurch eine Vorhaltemenge des Fluids genau an den vorbestimmten Verbrauch angepasst werden kann. So kann ein Verbrauch von Fluid verringert werden. Zudem kann die Menge an Fluid, die vorgehalten wird, reduziert werden.This apparatus makes it possible to predetermine an amount of fluid to be mixed in a cylinder in a combustion process, whereby a reserve amount of the fluid can be accurately adjusted to the predetermined consumption. Thus, a consumption of fluid can be reduced. In addition, the amount of fluid held can be reduced.
Das Fluidreservoir kann auch durch eine Fluidleitung oder durch eine Fluidpumpe gebildet sein.The fluid reservoir can also be formed by a fluid line or by a fluid pump.
Die Vorrichtung kann des Weiteren einen Klopfstärkesensor aufweisen. Dabei kann die Steuervorrichtung ausgebildet sein, die Menge an beizumischendem Fluid zumindest basierend auf einer durch den Klopfstärkesensor erfassten Klopfstärke zu bestimmen. So kann die Fluidmenge an die aktuelle Verbrennungscharakteristik angepasst werden. Dies kann eine verbesserte Steuerung des Verbrennungsprozesses erlauben. Dies kann es zudem erlauben, eine Fluidmenge, die zukünftig benötigt wird, im Vorfeld zu erfassen, da eine höhere Klopfstärke eine höhere Beimischung von Fluid erfordert, wenn nicht der Zündwinkel verstellt werden soll.The device may further include a knock strength sensor. In this case, the control device may be configured to determine the amount of fluid to be admixed at least based on a knock intensity detected by the knocking strength sensor. Thus, the amount of fluid can be adapted to the current combustion characteristics. This may allow for improved control of the combustion process. This can also allow a fluid amount that is needed in the future to be detected in advance, since a higher knock strength requires a higher admixture of fluid, if the ignition angle is not to be adjusted.
Die Vorrichtung kann auch einen Abgastemperatursensor aufweisen. Dabei kann die Steuervorrichtung so ausgebildet sein, dass ein Zündwinkel des Zylinders derart gesteuert wird, dass eine Abgastemperatur innerhalb eines vorbestimmten Temperaturintervalls liegt, insbesondere eine vorbestimmte Abgastemperatur nicht überschreitet. Auf diese Weise kann ein Klopfen reduziert bzw. auf einen vorbestimmten Wert eingestellt werden, ohne dass eine Verletzung von Abgasnormen auftritt. Damit kann es erreicht werden, Emissionen, beispielsweise von Stickoxiden, zu reduzieren. Gleichzeitig kann die Zylinderleistung und damit auch die Motorleistung besser genutzt werden. Eine Einstellung der Fluidzufuhr kann in diesem Fall eine noch feinere Einstellung der Klopfstärke ermöglichen, ohne dass die Abgastemperaturschwellwerte über- oder unterschritten werden.The device may also include an exhaust gas temperature sensor. In this case, the control device may be configured such that an ignition angle of the cylinder is controlled such that an exhaust gas temperature is within a predetermined temperature interval, in particular does not exceed a predetermined exhaust gas temperature. In this way, knocking can be reduced or set to a predetermined value without violating emission standards. This can be achieved to reduce emissions, such as nitrogen oxides. At the same time, the cylinder output and thus also the engine power can be better utilized. An adjustment of the fluid supply can in this case allow an even finer adjustment of the knock level, without the exhaust gas temperature thresholds are exceeded or fallen below.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann für eine Mehrzahl oder alle Zylinder einer Brennkraftmaschine eine derartige Dosiervorrichtung oder ein derartiges Fluidreservoir aufweisen. In einigen Ausführungen der Erfindung kann bei einer Mehrzahl an Zylindern für jeden Zylinder eine individuell ansteuerbare Dosiervorrichtung bzw. eine individuell befüllbares Fluidreservoir ausgebildet sein. Dies erlaubt es, jeden einzelnen Zylinder oder eine Gruppe von Zylindern separat einzustellen. So können auch Zylinder-spezifische Charakteristika, beispielsweise Ablagerungen, Abnutzungen etc. bei der Steuerung und bei der Verwendung des Zylinders berücksichtigt werden.The device according to the invention can have such a metering device or a fluid reservoir for a plurality or all cylinders of an internal combustion engine. In some embodiments of the invention, for a plurality of cylinders, an individually controllable metering device or an individually fillable fluid reservoir may be formed for each cylinder. This allows each cylinder or group of cylinders to be adjusted separately. Thus, cylinder-specific characteristics, such as deposits, wear, etc., can also be taken into account in the control and use of the cylinder.

Zudem weist das Fluidsystem 10 einen weiteren Fluidinjektor 14, hier als Dosierventil ausgebildet, auf. Das Dosierventil 14 verbindet das Fluidsystem 10 mit dem Kraftstoffsystem 50. Dadurch kann Fluid von dem Fluidsystem 10 auch direkt in den Kraftstoff der Verbrennungsmaschine injiziert werden. In alternativen Ausführungen kann auch nur der Fluidinjektor 13 oder nur das Dosierventil 14 in dem Fluidsystem 10 ausgebildet sein.In addition, the
Das Fluidinjektorsystem 1 weist zudem eine Steuervorrichtung 60 auf. Die Steuervorrichtung 60, die insbesondere die digitale Motorelektronik beinhaltet oder darstellt, ist über Steuerleitungen 61 mit dem Fluidinjektor 13 bzw. mit dem Dosierventil 14 verbunden. Des Weiteren ist die Steuervorrichtung 60 mit einer Hochdruckpumpe 51 des Kraftstoffsystems 50 verbunden. Auf diese Weise kann eine Kraftstoffzufuhr über eine Kraftstoffleitung 53 und eine Beimischung von Fluid durch das Dosierventil 14 gesteuert werden, und ein Fluid-Kraftstoffgemisch kann über eine Zuleitung 52 zu Kraftstoffinjektoren 41 geliefert werden. Die Kraftstoffinjektoren 41 sind in der gezeigten Ausführungsform mit einer Railvorrichtung 40 verbunden, wie sie dem Fachmann bekannt ist.The
Der Kraftstoffinjektor 41 injiziert das Fluid-Kraftstoffgemisch in den Zylinder 30. Der Zylinder 30 ist vorliegend ein Zylinder für einen Vier-Taktbetrieb. In einem ersten Takt wird ein Kolben 34 über ein Pleuel 35 durch eine nicht-dargestellte Kurbelwelle derart verstellt, dass sich das freie Volumen des Zylinders 30, also dessen Verbrennungsraum 31, vergrößert. Dadurch entsteht ein Unterdruck. Ein Einlassventil 32 verbindet den Verbrennungsraum 31 mit dem Ansaugsystem 20. Die mit Fluid angereicherte Luft tritt in den Verbrennungsraum ein, wenn das Einlassventil 32 geöffnet wird. In einem zweiten Takt des Motors wird der Kolben derart verstellt, dass der Verbrennungsraum verkleinert wird, und Kraftstoff wird von dem Kraftstoffinjektor 41 in den Verbrennungsraum injiziert. Durch die Verkleinerung des Verbrennungsraums wird der Kraftstoff ebenso wie die zugeführte Luft und das zugeführte Fluid stark komprimiert. In einem dritten Motortakt erfolgt die Zündung des komprimierten Kraftstoffgemisches abhängig von dem Zündwinkel des Zylinders. Der Kolben wird nach unten verschoben, überwindet einen unteren Totpunkt, und in einem vierten Takt öffnet sich ein Auslassventil 33. Durch einen weiteren Kolbenhub wird das verbrannte Gemische durch eine Abgasleitung 36 ausgestoßen.The
An dem Zylinder 30 ist des Weiteren ein Klopfsensor 37 vorgesehen. Der Klopfsensor 37 erfasst, ob eine klopfende Verbrennung in dem Zylinder 30 vorliegt oder nicht. Der Klopfsensor 37 ist mit der Steuervorrichtung 60 verbunden und übermittelt die erfassten Daten, also ob eine klopfende Verbrennung vorliegt und gegebenenfalls deren Ausmaße, an die Steuervorrichtung 60.On the
Weiterhin kann in dem Fluidsystem 10 ein hier nicht dargestellter Durchflusssensor ausgebildet sein, der ein Fluid-Volumen erfasst, das durch das Fluidsystem zu dem Fluidinjektor 13 und/oder zu dem Dosierventil 14 transportiert wird.Furthermore, a flow sensor, not shown here, may be formed in the

Wie nicht in den Figuren dargestellt ist, kann des Weiteren in einem derartigen Fluidinjektorsystem 1 ein Sensor zum Erfassen der Kraftststoffqualität und/oder der Motortemperatur und/oder der Ansauglufttemperatur oder ähnliches vorgesehen sein. Alternativ oder zusätzlich können diese Informationen auch in der Steuervorrichtung hinterlegt und/oder gesammelt werden. Es ist weiterhin denkbar, dass die aktuelle Drehzahl des Motors erfasst wird. Zudem kann eine prädizierte Drehzahl des Motors und eine prädizierte Fluidbefüllung in der Steuervorrichtung hinterlegt bzw. gespeichert sein.Further, as not shown in the figures, in such a
Alle oder ein Teil dieser Informationen können, insbesondere in einem Fall, in dem das Fluid an dem Injektor anliegt, zur exakten Berechnung der Injektionszeitpunkts, der Injektionsdauer, des Injektionsvolumens etc. von der Steuervorrichtung berücksichtigt werden. Zudem kann die Erfassung einer aktuellen Ist-Klopfstärke in der Steuervorrichtung verarbeitet werden, um eine Fluidbeimischung zu regeln. Dazu kann in der Steuervorrichtung ein hier nicht dargestellter Regler ausgebildet sein, der abhängig von der Ist-Klopfstärke und/oder der Soll-Klopfstärke und/oder des Soll- bzw. Ist-Zündwinkels und/oder der Soll- bzw. Ist-Abgastemperatur und/oder anderer Parameter einen Korrekturfaktor bestimmt. Der Korrekturfaktor kann dann bei der Berechnung bzw. bei der Regelung der Fluidbefüllung in der Steuervorrichtung berücksichtigt werden.All or part of this information can, in particular in a case in which the fluid rests against the injector, be taken into account for the exact calculation of the injection time, the injection duration, the injection volume etc. by the control device. In addition, the detection of a current actual knock level in the control device can be processed in order to regulate a fluid admixture. For this purpose, a controller (not shown here) may be formed in the control device, which depends on the actual knock intensity and / or the nominal knock intensity and / or the desired or actual ignition angle and / or the target or actual exhaust gas temperature and / or other parameter determines a correction factor. The correction factor can then be used in the calculation or be taken into account in the regulation of the fluid filling in the control device.
Die Wasserbefüllung kann durch eine Fluidpumpe 11 erfolgen. Die Fluidpumpe 11 ist dazu mit der Steuervorrichtung 60 verbunden. Sobald die Steuervorrichtung 60 die zuzuführende Fluidmenge bzw. die Sollrate der Fluidbeimischung bestimmt hat, erfolgt die Steuerung der Fluidbeimischung. Im Bedarfsfall erfolgt dann auch die Regelung der Klopfstärke, wie oben beschrieben. Dazu gibt die Steuervorrichtung einen Förderbefehl an die Fluidpumpe 11 aus, die dann das Fluid entsprechend bereitstellt.The water can be filled by a
Die Fluidpumpe 11 fördert somit nur das tatsächlich zu verbrauchende Fluidvolumen, wodurch ein Fluidverbrauch reduziert wird und ein Energieverbrauch für das Vorhalten des Fluids verringert werden kann.The

Wenn Wasser in der Form von einer Zumischung zum Kraftstoff eingespritzt wird, mischt man das Fluid vorzugsweise vor der Kraftstoffhochdruckpumpe zu, um mit geringen Fluiddrücken auskommen zu können. Dadurch wirkt das Volumen des Kraftstoffhochdrucksystems von der Einleitstelle des Fluids bis zur Injektorspitze als Totvolumen. Beim Start der Wassereinspritzung muss diese Volumen erst über den Verbrennungsmotor gespült werden, bevor das Fluid im Brennraum ankommt und dort wirksam wird.When water in the form of an admixture is injected to the fuel, it is preferable to mix the fluid in front of the high-pressure fuel pump in order to manage with low fluid pressures. As a result, the volume of the high-pressure fuel system from the point of introduction of the fluid to the injector tip acts as a dead volume. At the start of the water injection, these volumes must first be flushed via the internal combustion engine before the fluid arrives in the combustion chamber and takes effect there.
Um die effektive Totzeit zu reduzieren, versucht man in die Zukunft zu schauen, um schon vorzeitig mit dem Zumischen von Wasser in den Kraftstoff beginnen zu können. Dazu werden die Parameter Drehzahl und Last prädiziert. Idealerweise so, dass das Fluid dann im Brennraum ankommt, wenn die tatsächliche Drehzahl und Last den im Kennfeld dafür vorgesehen Wert erreicht haben. In der Realität kann man die Totzeit erheblich reduzieren.In order to reduce the effective dead time, one tries to look into the future in order to prematurely start adding water to the fuel. For this purpose, the parameters speed and load are predicted. Ideally, so that the fluid arrives in the combustion chamber when the actual speed and load have reached the value provided in the map for this purpose. In reality, you can significantly reduce dead time.
Die Prädiktion der Drehzahl erfolgt, indem über den Gradienten der tatsächlichen Drehzahl ermittelt wird, wo der Wert in einer bestimmten Zeit liegen würde, wenn sich die Drehzahl mit dem gleichen Gradienten weiter ändert. Bei der Prädiktion der Last wird anstatt der tatsächlichen Füllung, die über den Abgasturbolader verzögert aufgebaut wird, die Soll-Füllung verwendet.The prediction of the rotational speed is made by determining, via the gradient of the actual rotational speed, where the value would lie in a certain time, if the rotational speed continues to change with the same gradient. at the prediction of the load is used instead of the actual charge, which is built up delayed over the exhaust gas turbocharger, the target filling.
