Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling combustion in an internal combustion engine and an internal combustion engine with combustion controlled in this way.
- a fluid for example water
- the ignition angle can be adjusted in the early direction, and fuel consumption and engine performance are improved.
- the DE 31 42 729 A1 describes such a device for controlling an internal combustion engine as a function of the occurrence of knocking processes.
- the US 8,370,049 B1 Fig. 11 shows a method of controlling an engine that burns ammonia as fuel.
- This engine needs a second fuel to allow the ammonia to burn.
- the ratio of ammonia to the second fuel is, among other things, a function of one determined with a knock sensor measured knock strength.
- the ignition angle of the cylinder is set so that the exhaust gas temperature is in an optimal temperature range for a catalytic converter.
- the DE 10 2012 207 904 A1 discloses a method for injecting water into a cylinder in response to the signal from a knock sensor.
- Motor vehicle provided with at least one cylinder, the method having a step in which a knock intensity in the cylinder is detected by means of a knock sensor.
- a predetermined target ignition angle of the cylinder which corresponds to a target exhaust gas temperature, is set when a knocking effect occurs, the set target ignition angle being dependent on the knocking that occurs.
- an admixture of fluid into the cylinder that is to say the amount of fluid admixed to the fuel, is controlled as a function of the detected knock intensity.
- the fluid can in particular be water, ethanol or another fluid that is suitable for lowering the combustion temperature of the fuel or the exhaust gas temperature.
- a cooling takes place through the evaporation enthalpy of the fluid in the cylinder. It is mixed into the cylinder by injecting the fluid directly into the fuel.
- a predetermined ignition angle is set at which a specific exhaust gas temperature is reached.
- the dependency between the set ignition angle and the knocking that occurs is preferably known in advance and can be stored in a control device, for example the engine electronics.
- the knocking effect can then be counteracted by the targeted addition of fluid while maintaining a maximum exhaust gas temperature, for example. In this way, a necessary amount of fluid can be better predetermined depending on the knock signal. This allows an optimal use of the available fluid.
- the fluid consumption can be reduced, and at the same time improved compliance with the exhaust gas temperature specifications can be achieved.
- a fluid request can also be recognized earlier and the fluid can be reliably held.
- a dead time from a subsequent actual demand for the fluid can be reduced, and the fluid can be delivered to fluid injectors more quickly if necessary.
- the control device can also determine a target amount of fluid to be mixed in, which is to be injected into the cylinder, at least based on the target exhaust gas temperature and / or on the detected knock intensity. To this In this way, a reserve amount of the fluid can already be determined on the basis of the detected signals.
- a first plausibility check of the fluid consumption can be carried out by analyzing a fluid consumption and a change in knock strength that occurs due to 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 brings about a predeterminable cooling of the exhaust gas temperature.
- the temperature reduction also reduces knocking. A predeterminable amount of fluid thus brings about a predeterminable reduction in knocking.
- control device can output control commands, in particular to prevent damage, which, for example, in an acute case, cause a further increase in the fluid supply or cause the affected cylinder or the entire motor to be switched off.
- the knock intensity can for example be detected with the knock intensity sensor before the addition of the fluid and after the addition of the fluid and stored in a storage device in the control device.
- the calculated and / or the actually added fluid quantity can be stored in the storage device.
- a comparator which carries out a comparison with predetermined values can be embodied in the control device.
- the predetermined values can, for example, in the form of a data table, also as a look-up table (LUT) referred to.
- LUT look-up table
- 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.
- the data table can have theoretical values, general practical empirical values and / or cylinder or engine-specific empirical values from fault-free operation.
- the method according to the invention can have a selective detection of the knock intensity and / or a selective control of the fluid admixture in an internal combustion engine with a plurality of cylinders for each cylinder. In this way, knocking from one cylinder can be reduced in a targeted manner without impairing the performance and efficiency of the other cylinders. This can make it possible to reduce the amount of fluid held and to increase the efficiency of the internal combustion engine, in particular of the vehicle engine, at the knock limit.
- the admixture of fluid that is to say the amount of admixed fluid, can be reduced, for example, if a knock intensity is reduced in order to set the knock to a predetermined setpoint knock value.
- the admixture of fluid can be increased when the knock intensity increases in order to set the knock to a predetermined setpoint knock value. In this way, a quick reaction to the current combustion characteristics can take place.
- an amount of fluid that is to be used for the combustion can be predetermined and a corresponding reserve amount of the fluid can be provided. In particular in cases in which the fluid is fed into the cylinder or into the fuel system directly into the fuel under high pressure, only a calculated amount of fluid needs to be pressurized. A higher efficiency of the entire internal combustion engine can thus also be achieved. In this way, by setting a specific or determinable knock intensity at the set ignition angle, improved compliance with the exhaust gas temperature limits can be made possible.
- the target knock intensity with an actual knock intensity and / or the target exhaust gas temperature with an actual exhaust gas temperature in compared to the control unit.
- the control device can run an error log at least in the event of a predetermined deviation between the setpoint and the actual value. Alternatively or additionally, the control device can output a corrective control signal.
- the respective target values can 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 target values can also be the values determined by the control device that are certain set parameters are to be expected, for example the exhaust gas temperature for a predetermined ignition angle of the cylinder.
- the control device can also compare an actually consumed amount of fluid and the target amount of fluid to be admixed. In the event that a discrepancy between the amounts of fluid thus compared is found, an error log can be carried out.
- a corrective control signal can also be output from the control device.
- the deviation can in particular be a predefined, for example a percentage, deviation of the values from one another. In this way, the fluid consumption can be checked for plausibility.
- a fault can be identified or a fault cause can be excluded if a fault occurs in the internal combustion engine. Furthermore, in this way it is also possible to adapt an amount of fluid that has to be kept available, depending on an actual fluid consumption.
- An error log that can be carried out can contain, for example, the output of an error to an internal or an external diagnostic device.
- the diagnostic device can in particular be 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 the execution of the error log in the control device.
- This control signal can be a signal that increases or decreases the supply of fluid. It can also be a signal that adjusts the ignition angle, changes the fuel supply or completely deactivates the cylinder.
- the control signal can also be used as Part of a control loop for acute troubleshooting, for example to prevent damage, are output.
- a device for admixing a fluid to at least one cylinder of an internal combustion engine is provided with a fluid pump and a metering device.
- a control device is formed which is designed to carry out the method according to the invention and to determine an amount of fluid to be admixed, the metering device metering the determined amount of fluid into a fluid reservoir, a fuel system and / or an air intake system.
- a fluid line through which the fluid flows can also be understood as a fluid reservoir in the context of the invention.
- This device makes it possible to predetermine an amount of fluid that is to be mixed in during a combustion process in a cylinder, as a result of which a reserve amount of the fluid can be precisely adapted to the predetermined consumption. In this way, consumption of fluid can be reduced. In addition, the amount of fluid that is kept available can be reduced.
- the fluid reservoir can also be formed by a fluid line or by a fluid pump.
- the device can furthermore have a knock intensity sensor.
- the control device can be designed to determine the amount of fluid to be admixed at least based on a knock intensity detected by the knock intensity sensor. In this way, the amount of fluid can be adapted to the current combustion characteristics. This can allow improved control of the combustion process. This can also allow an amount of fluid that will be required in the future to be recorded in advance, since a higher knock intensity requires a higher admixture of fluid if the ignition angle is not to be adjusted.
- the device can also have an exhaust gas temperature sensor.
- the control device can be designed in such a way that an ignition angle of the cylinder is controlled in such a way that an exhaust gas temperature lies within a predetermined temperature interval, in particular a predetermined exhaust gas temperature does not exceed. In this way, knocking can be reduced or set to a predetermined value without a violation of exhaust gas standards occurring. This makes it possible to reduce emissions, for example of nitrogen oxides.
- the cylinder output and thus also the engine output can be better used. In this case, an adjustment of the fluid supply can enable an even finer adjustment of the knock intensity without exceeding or falling below the exhaust gas temperature threshold values.
- the device according to the invention can have such a metering device or such a fluid reservoir for a plurality or all of the cylinders of an internal combustion engine.
- an individually controllable metering device or an individually fillable fluid reservoir can be formed for each cylinder. This allows each individual cylinder or a group of cylinders to be set separately. In this way, cylinder-specific characteristics, for example deposits, wear and tear, etc., can be taken into account when controlling and using the cylinder.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic drawing of a fluid injector system 1.
- the fluid injector system 1 has a fluid system 10.
- the fluid system 10 comprises a fluid pump 11 which holds the fluid in reserve or which conveys the fluid into the fluid system 10 at a predeterminable pressure.
- the fluid pump 11 can also have a fluid reservoir for storing a predeterminable amount of fluid (not shown).
- the fluid is already at a pressure in the fluid system 10 applied, with which it is injected into a fuel system 50 or directly into a cylinder 30.
- the fluid is conducted in the fluid system 10 through a fluid line 12 to a fluid injector 13.
- the fluid injector 13 can in particular be designed as a throttle valve.
- the fluid injector 13 connects in the in Figure 1
- the embodiment shown is the fluid system 10 with an intake pipe 21 of an intake system of the cylinder 30.
- the intake pipe 21 is a common intake pipe, or the plenum, of an internal combustion engine, in particular an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle.
- the fluid injector 13 thus injects the fluid into the intake air of the engine.
- the fluid injector 13 is therefore also referred to as a plenum injection valve in this embodiment.
- the fluid system 10 has a further fluid injector 14, designed here as a metering valve.
- the metering valve 14 connects the fluid system 10 to the fuel system 50.
- fluid is also injected from the fluid system 10 directly into the fuel of the internal combustion engine.
- only the metering valve 14 can be embodied in the fluid system 10.
- the fluid injector system 1 also has a control device 60.
- the control device 60 which in particular contains or represents the digital motor electronics, is connected to the fluid injector 13 or to the metering valve 14 via control lines 61.
- the control device 60 is connected to a high-pressure pump 51 of the fuel system 50. In this way, a fuel supply via a fuel line 53 and an admixture of fluid by the metering valve 14 can be controlled, and a fluid-fuel mixture can be supplied via a supply line 52 to fuel injectors 41.
- the fuel injectors 41 are connected to a rail device 40, as is known to those skilled in the art.
- the fuel injector 41 injects the fluid-fuel mixture into the cylinder 30.
- the cylinder 30 is a cylinder for four-stroke operation.
- a piston 34 is adjusted via a connecting rod 35 by a crankshaft (not shown) in such a way that the free volume of the cylinder 30, that is to say its combustion chamber 31, increases. This creates a negative pressure.
- a Inlet valve 32 connects the combustion chamber 31 to the intake system 20. The air enriched with fluid enters the combustion chamber when the inlet valve 32 is opened.
- the piston is adjusted in such a way that the combustion chamber is made smaller, and fuel is injected into the combustion chamber by the fuel injector 41.
- the fuel, as well as the air and fluid supplied are strongly compressed.
- the compressed fuel mixture is ignited depending on the ignition angle of the cylinder.
- the piston is shifted downwards, overcomes a bottom dead center, and an exhaust valve 33 opens in a fourth cycle.
- the burned mixture is expelled through an exhaust pipe 36 by a further piston stroke.
- a knock sensor 37 is also provided on the cylinder 30.
- the knock sensor 37 detects whether there is knocking combustion in the cylinder 30 or not.
- the knock sensor 37 is connected to the control device 60 and transmits the recorded data, that is to say whether there is a knocking combustion and, if applicable, its extent, to the control device 60.
- a flow sensor can be formed in the fluid system 10, which sensor detects a fluid volume that is transported by the fluid system to the fluid injector 13 and / or to the metering valve 14.
- Figure 2 shows an alternative which does not fall under the claimed invention.
- the same components are provided with the same reference numerals, and a repetition of their description is omitted at this point.
- Figure 2 differs from that in Figure 1 in that fluid injection is tracked through an aspiration tube.
- Each cylinder 30 of the engine has a separate intake pipe so that a fluid injection takes place separately for each cylinder 30.
- the individual injectors 13 are supplied with fluid via a common plenum 15.
- the plenum 15 serves as the fluid reservoir in order to be able to hold a sufficient amount of fluid for the combustion process.
- the fluid supply for the individual cylinders was controlled separately via direct water injection (DWI) into the Fuel system and can be mapped accordingly in the control device 60.
- DWI direct water injection
- injection into the intake manifold is also possible, similar to the embodiment according to FIG Figure 1 .
- Figure 3 shows a diagram which shows the fluid filling when required as a function of time.
- a comparison of the curves of the predicted target amount of fluid that is kept available for filling with the actually kept actual amount of fluid shows a time difference of approx. 1.5s until the actual level reaches the required target level.
- the prediction according to the invention of the required amount of fluid at a specific load reduces the time required to match the target and actual fluid fill amounts, and the risk of knocking combustion can be reduced. In this way, it is also possible to react faster and more flexibly to load changes.
- the speed of the motor is greatly increased during the time delay between the fluid request and the actual supply of the fluid in order to compensate for the delay time in the admixing of the fluid and to achieve the desired output of the motor.
- This can in turn promote knocking combustion, especially in highly charged Otto engines.
- the load on the engine is increased. If the predicted amount of fluid is available, the increase in speed can be reduced. The load on the engine is reduced.
- Figure 3 represents an example of the time-dependent development of the filling and the engine speed in a case of direct water injection
- a similar course of the graphs can also be expected for the case of injection into the plenum 21 or directly into the respective cylinder intake manifolds.
- a sensor for detecting the fuel quality and / or the engine temperature and / or the intake air temperature or the like can furthermore be provided in such a fluid injector system 1.
- this information can also be saved in the control device are stored and / or collected. It is also conceivable that the current speed of the motor is recorded.
- a predicted speed of the motor and a predicted fluid filling can be stored or stored in the control device.
- control device can take into account by the control device, in particular in a case in which the fluid is applied to the injector, for the exact calculation of the injection time, the injection duration, the injection volume, etc.
- detection of a current actual knock intensity can be processed in the control device in order to regulate the addition of fluid.
- a regulator (not shown here) can be configured in the control device, which is dependent on the actual knock intensity and / or the target knock intensity and / or the target or actual ignition angle and / or the target or actual exhaust gas temperature and / or other parameters determine a correction factor. The correction factor can then be taken into account in the calculation or in the regulation of the fluid filling in the control device.
- the water can be filled with a fluid pump 11.
- the fluid pump 11 is connected to the control device 60.
- the control device 60 As soon as the control device 60 has determined the amount of fluid to be supplied or the setpoint rate of the fluid admixture, the fluid admixture is controlled. If necessary, the knock intensity is also regulated as described above. For this purpose, the control device issues a delivery command to the fluid pump 11, which then makes the fluid available accordingly.
- the fluid pump 11 thus only conveys the fluid volume that is actually to be consumed, as a result of which fluid consumption is reduced and energy consumption for holding the fluid can be reduced.
- the fluid is preferably mixed in upstream of the high-pressure fuel pump in order to be able to manage with low fluid pressures. This is how the volume works of the high-pressure fuel system from the point at which the fluid is introduced to the injector tip as dead volume. When the water injection is started, this volume must first be flushed via the internal combustion engine before the fluid arrives in the combustion chamber and takes effect there.
- the prediction of the speed is done by using the gradient of the actual speed to determine where the value would be in a certain time if the speed continues to change with the same gradient.
- the target filling is used instead of the actual filling, which is built up with a delay via the exhaust gas turbocharger.

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 combustion in an internal combustion engine and an internal combustion engine with combustion controlled in this way.
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 Otto engines, in particular in highly charged Otto engines, knocking combustion can occur. This can lead to a reduction in output 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.In order to counteract or prevent knocking, it is known to move the ignition angle of the cylinder late. However, this degrades the combustion efficiency and the exhaust gas temperature rises. In order to counteract the higher thermal load on the exhaust system, the air-fuel mixture injected into the cylinder must, if necessary, be enriched, i.e. provided with a higher proportion of fuel. However, this can degrade fuel consumption, performance and emissions.
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.In order to reduce the tendency to knock, a fluid, for example water, is therefore added directly to the combustion chamber or to the fuel, as a result of which the cylinder charge is cooled when the fluid is evaporated. As a result, the ignition angle can be adjusted in the early direction, and fuel consumption and engine performance are improved.

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 tightened standards with regard to the emission control of combustion processes also require compliance with limit values for exhaust gas temperatures. The exhaust gas temperature can also be reduced by adding fluid. However, this requires that a certain amount of fluid must be kept permanently available in order to ensure an admixture of fluid. The exact amount of fluid depends on many different influencing variables, such as intake air temperature, engine temperature, fuel quality, component tolerances, for example with regard to compression in the cylinder, signal tolerances, for example when filling the cylinder, deposits in the combustion chamber and others. These influencing variables cannot be sufficiently pre-controlled or otherwise recorded. Therefore, a large amount of fluid must always be kept available, 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 reduced fluid consumption in the combustion control, with control of the exhaust gas temperature being possible at the same time, so that in particular exhaust gas temperature limit values can be observed.
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist ein Verfahren zum Steuern einer Verbrennung in einer Brennkraftmaschine, insbesondere einem Verbrennungsmotor in einemTo achieve the object is a method for controlling combustion in an internal combustion engine, in particular an internal combustion engine in one
Kraftfahrzeug, mit wenigstens einem Zylinder vorgesehen, wobei das Verfahren einen Schritt aufweist, in dem eine Klopfstärke in dem Zylinder mittels eines Klopfsensors erfasst wird. Erfindungsgemäß wird in einem weiteren Schritt ein vorbestimmter Soll-Zündwinkel des Zylinders, der einer Soll-Abgastemperatur entspricht, bei Auftreten eines Klopfeffekts eingestellt, wobei der eingestellte Soll-Zündwinkel vom auftretenden Klopfen abhängig ist. In einem weiteren Schritt wird eine Fluidbeimischung in den Zylinder, also die Menge an dem Kraftstoff beigemischtem Fluid, in Abhängigkeit von der erfassten Klopfstärke gesteuert.Motor vehicle, provided with at least one cylinder, the method having a step in which a knock intensity in the cylinder is detected by means of a knock sensor. According to the invention, in a further step, a predetermined target ignition angle of the cylinder, which corresponds to a target exhaust gas temperature, is set when a knocking effect occurs, the set target ignition angle being dependent on the knocking that occurs. In a further step, an admixture of fluid into the cylinder, that is to say the amount of fluid admixed to the fuel, 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 erfolgt durch Einspritzen des Fluids direkt in den Kraftstoff.The fluid can in particular be water, ethanol or another fluid that is suitable for lowering the combustion temperature of the fuel or the exhaust gas temperature. A cooling takes place through the evaporation enthalpy of the fluid in the cylinder. It is mixed into the cylinder by 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, when a knocking effect occurs, a predetermined ignition angle is set at which a specific exhaust gas temperature is reached. The dependency between the set ignition angle and the knocking that occurs is preferably known in advance and can be stored in a control device, for example the engine electronics. The knocking effect can then be counteracted by the targeted addition of fluid while maintaining a maximum exhaust gas temperature, for example. In this way, a necessary amount of fluid can be better predetermined depending on the knock signal. This allows an optimal use of the available fluid. In addition, the fluid consumption can be reduced, and 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.In this way, a fluid request can also be recognized earlier and the fluid can be reliably held. In this way, a dead time from a subsequent actual demand for the fluid can be reduced, and the fluid can be delivered to fluid injectors more quickly if necessary.
Die Steuervorrichtung kann zudem eine Soll-Menge an beizumischendem 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 control device can also determine a target amount of fluid to be mixed in, which is to be injected into the cylinder, at least based on the target exhaust gas temperature and / or on the detected knock intensity. To this In this way, a reserve amount of the fluid can already be determined 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 change in knock strength that occurs due to 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 brings about a predeterminable cooling of the exhaust gas temperature. The temperature reduction also reduces knocking. A predeterminable amount of fluid thus brings about 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 the knocking is not reduced to a predetermined extent despite sufficient fluid addition, this can be determined in a control device and stored or output as an error message. Alternatively or in addition, the control device can output control commands, in particular to prevent damage, which, for example, in an acute case, cause a further increase in the fluid supply or cause the affected cylinder or the entire motor to be switched off.
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.This can be done analogously or additionally for a determination of the exhaust gas temperature before and after the fluid addition. Similarly or in addition, an ignition angle setting can also be checked for plausibility in this way, in particular if an added amount of fluid can be precisely defined. The method according to the invention can thus form a closed 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 for example be detected with the knock intensity sensor before the addition of the fluid and after the addition of the fluid and stored in a storage device in the control device. Analogously, the calculated and / or the actually added fluid quantity, if this differs from the calculated fluid quantity, can be stored in the storage device. A comparator which carries out a comparison with predetermined values can be embodied in the control device. The predetermined values can, for example, in the form of a data table, also as a look-up table (LUT) referred to. In the event of 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 or engine-specific empirical values from fault-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.The method according to the invention can have a selective detection of the knock intensity and / or a selective control of the fluid admixture in an internal combustion engine with a plurality of cylinders for each cylinder. In this way, knocking from one cylinder can be reduced in a targeted manner without impairing the performance and efficiency of the other cylinders. This can make it possible to reduce the amount of fluid held 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 das 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.The admixture of fluid, that is to say the amount of admixed fluid, can be reduced, for example, if a knock intensity is reduced in order to set the knock to a predetermined setpoint knock value. Correspondingly, the admixture of fluid can be increased when the knock intensity increases in order to set the knock to a predetermined setpoint knock value. In this way, a quick reaction to the current combustion characteristics can take place. In addition, an amount of fluid that is to be used for the combustion can be predetermined and a corresponding reserve amount of the fluid can be provided. In particular in cases in which the fluid is fed into the cylinder or into the fuel system directly into the fuel under high pressure, only a calculated amount of fluid needs to be pressurized. A higher efficiency of the entire internal combustion engine can thus also be achieved. In this way, by setting a specific or determinable knock intensity at the set ignition angle, improved compliance with the exhaust gas temperature limits can be made possible.
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 target knock intensity with an actual knock intensity and / or the target exhaust gas temperature with an actual exhaust gas temperature in compared to the control unit. Analogous to the above descriptions, the control device can run an error log at least in the event of a predetermined deviation between the setpoint and the 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 target values can 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 target values can also be the values determined by the control device that are certain set parameters are to be expected, for example the exhaust gas temperature for a predetermined ignition 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 control device can also compare an actually consumed amount of fluid and the target amount of fluid to be admixed. In the event that a discrepancy between the amounts of fluid thus compared is found, an error log can be carried out. A corrective control signal can also be output from the control device. The deviation can in particular be a predefined, for example a percentage, deviation of the values from one another. In this way, the fluid consumption can be checked for plausibility. In addition, a fault can be identified or a fault cause can be excluded if a fault occurs in the internal combustion engine. Furthermore, in this way it is also possible to adapt an amount of fluid that has to be kept available, 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 can be carried out can contain, for example, the output of an error to an internal or an external diagnostic device. When using a motor vehicle, the diagnostic device can in particular be 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 the execution of the error log in the control device. This control signal can be a signal that increases or decreases the supply of fluid. It can also be a signal that adjusts the ignition angle, changes the fuel supply or completely deactivates the cylinder. The control signal can also be used as Part of a control loop for acute troubleshooting, for example to prevent damage, are output.
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, das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren durchzuführen und 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, a device for admixing 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 formed which is designed to carry out the method according to the invention and to determine an amount of fluid to be admixed, the metering device metering the determined amount of fluid into a fluid reservoir, a fuel system and / or an air intake system. A fluid line through which the fluid flows can also be understood as a fluid reservoir in the context of the invention.
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 device makes it possible to predetermine an amount of fluid that is to be mixed in during a combustion process in a cylinder, as a result of which a reserve amount of the fluid can be precisely adapted to the predetermined consumption. In this way, consumption of fluid can be reduced. In addition, the amount of fluid that is kept available 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 can furthermore have a knock intensity sensor. In this case, the control device can be designed to determine the amount of fluid to be admixed at least based on a knock intensity detected by the knock intensity sensor. In this way, the amount of fluid can be adapted to the current combustion characteristics. This can allow improved control of the combustion process. This can also allow an amount of fluid that will be required in the future to be recorded in advance, since a higher knock intensity 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 can also have an exhaust gas temperature sensor. The control device can be designed in such a way that an ignition angle of the cylinder is controlled in such a way that an exhaust gas temperature lies within a predetermined temperature interval, in particular a predetermined exhaust gas temperature does not exceed. In this way, knocking can be reduced or set to a predetermined value without a violation of exhaust gas standards occurring. This makes it possible to reduce emissions, for example of nitrogen oxides. At the same time, the cylinder output and thus also the engine output can be better used. In this case, an adjustment of the fluid supply can enable an even finer adjustment of the knock intensity without exceeding or falling below the exhaust gas temperature threshold values.
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 such a fluid reservoir for a plurality or all of the cylinders of an internal combustion engine. In some embodiments of the invention, with a plurality of cylinders, an individually controllable metering device or an individually fillable fluid reservoir can be formed for each cylinder. This allows each individual cylinder or a group of cylinders to be set separately. In this way, cylinder-specific characteristics, for example deposits, wear and tear, etc., can be taken into account when controlling and using 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 wird Fluid von dem Fluidsystem 10 auch direkt in den Kraftstoff der Verbrennungsmaschine injiziert. In alternativen Ausführungen kann auch 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 fluid injector system 1 also has a
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.A
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, can 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.As is not shown in the figures, a sensor for detecting the fuel quality and / or the engine temperature and / or the intake air temperature or the like can furthermore be provided in such a fluid injector system 1. Alternatively or additionally, this information can also be saved in the control device are stored and / or collected. It is also conceivable that the current speed of the motor is recorded. In addition, a predicted speed of the motor and a predicted fluid filling can be stored or stored in the control device.
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 be taken into account by the control device, in particular in a case in which the fluid is applied to the injector, for the exact calculation of the injection time, the injection duration, the injection volume, etc. In addition, the detection of a current actual knock intensity can be processed in the control device in order to regulate the addition of fluid. For this purpose, a regulator (not shown here) can be configured in the control device, which is dependent on the actual knock intensity and / or the target knock intensity and / or the target or actual ignition angle and / or the target or actual exhaust gas temperature and / or other parameters determine a correction factor. The correction factor can then be taken into account in the calculation or 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 with 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.If water is injected in the form of an admixture to the fuel, the fluid is preferably mixed in upstream of the high-pressure fuel pump in order to be able to manage with low fluid pressures. This is how the volume works of the high-pressure fuel system from the point at which the fluid is introduced to the injector tip as dead volume. When the water injection is started, this volume 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 be able to start adding water to the fuel early. For this, the parameters speed and load are predicted. Ideally in such a way that the fluid arrives in the combustion chamber when the actual speed and load have reached the value provided for in the map. In reality, the dead time can be reduced considerably.
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 speed is done by using the gradient of the actual speed to determine where the value would be in a certain time if the speed continues to change with the same gradient. When predicting the load, the target filling is used instead of the actual filling, which is built up with a delay via the exhaust gas turbocharger.
