Definitions
- From DE 40 07 516 is a diesel engine with an exhaust pipe, in which an exhaust gas turbine of an exhaust gas turbocharger and a particulate filter are arranged and with a combustion air line, in which a supercharger of the exhaust gas turbocharger is provided, as well as with an exhaust gas recirculation line downstream of the particulate filter the exhaust pipe branches off and connects them to the combustion air line, wherein downstream of the exhaust gas turbine an oxidation catalyst and behind this the particulate filter are arranged in the exhaust pipe and that in the exhaust gas recirculation line, an exhaust gas cooler is known.
- a reverse airflow may be used to clean the EGR cooler.
- a single charge air cooler is used to cool the mixture of charge air and recirculated exhaust gas.
- a flow valve that can be moved between open, bypass, and reverse positions is used to control the flow of the charge air / recirculated exhaust gas mixture through the radiator. The reverse position of the flow valve provides a reverse purge flow through the cooling passages to remove accumulated soot particles in the radiator.
- the method provided by Kennedy may use contaminated exhaust air containing soot particles to clean the EGR cooler, as well as increased complexity in exhaust flow design through the EGR cooler.
- An exemplary system includes an EGR valve for selectively diverting a portion of the exhaust gas through an EGR passage to an intake side of the internal combustion engine, an EGR cooler disposed in the EGR passage, the EGR cooler having an exhaust side and a suction side and an intake pressurized air supply system having a compressed air passage, wherein the intake pressurized air supply system is configured to selectively divert a portion of the intake pressurized air compressed by the turbocharger through the EGR cooler to remove particulate matter deposited in the EGR cooler.
- a valve disposed in the compressed air passage may control the flow of intake compressed air.
- the valve for controlling the intake pressurized air flow through the intake pressure passage may be omitted if the compressed air passage is sized and oriented so as not to interfere with the flow of EGR gas into the EGR cooler and that it is still possible to adequately control the EGR Supply quantity of EGR flow for engine operation.
- turbocharger suction compressed air which is relatively free of soot particulate available from the engine turbocharger, may be used to purge the EGR cooler to generate sufficient turbulence to detach soot particles deposited in the EGR cooler.
- the compressed air may be used to remove radiator contaminants if EGR is not used for engine operation to reduce any disturbances to EGR flow operation.
- the object of the present invention is to avoid the abovementioned disadvantages and to provide an internal combustion engine with EGR in order to reliably maintain the exhaust gas limit values.
- an internal combustion engine with exhaust gas recirculation comprising at least one turbocharger, at least one engine control unit, at least one intake pipe, at least one exhaust pipe having at least one EGR pipe, the EGR pipe having at least one EGR valve in said EGR passage for diverting a portion of the exhaust gas through said EGR passage to at least one downstream EGR cooler and its EGR cooler exhaust side, wherein the EGR cooler with its suction side by means of EGR intake manifold with the intake passage is connected, wherein the EGR valve is so close and obviously designed that are removed by additional exhaust pressure pulses, which get into the EGR cooler, the deposited there soot particles.
- EGR exhaust gas recirculation
- At least one EGR valve is arranged downstream of the EGR cooler and upstream of the intake line.
- At least one intercooler is arranged between the turbocharger, in particular the fresh air compressor, and the intake line.
- the intake line and / or the EGR intake line piece has at least one temperature sensor.
- the invention further includes a method of operating an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) internal combustion engine comprising at least one turbocharger, at least one engine control unit, at least one intake manifold, at least one exhaust conduit having at least one EGR conduit, the EGR conduit at least one EGR valve in said EGR passage for diverting a portion of the exhaust gas through said EGR passage to at least one downstream EGR cooler and its EGR cooler exhaust side, wherein the EGR cooler with its suction side by means of EGR intake pipe is connected to the intake manifold, wherein the EGR valve is closed and apparently designed so that additional exhaust pressure pulses are generated, which get into the EGR cooler to remove deposited in the EGR cooler soot particles dissolved.
- EGR exhaust gas recirculation
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the internal combustion engine
- Figure 2 shows the time course of the flap opening angle during the
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of the internal combustion engine 1 is shown.
- the internal combustion engine 1 is in the embodiment of Figure 1 is a six-cylinder diesel engine with intake and exhaust tract. Next, the internal combustion engine 1 to a turbocharger 2, which is communicatively connected to intake and exhaust tract.
- the exhaust pipe 3 of the internal combustion engine 1 has two EGR lines 4, each having an EGR valve 5, which is designed to be open and closed.
- the EGR lines 4 each open into an EGR cooler 6, the suction side of the EGR cooler 7 is communicatively connected to the EGR intake pipe section 8.
- a reed valve 14 is arranged.
- a charge air cooler 10 is arranged between the intake pipe 9 and the turbocharger 2, a charge air cooler 10 is arranged.
- the intake pipe 9 has a temperature sensor 12 and a pressure sensor 13, which communicate with the engine control unit 11 by means of electrical lines or radio links.
- the temperature sensor 12 and the pressure sensor 13 supply their data for controlling the internal combustion engine 1 and the cleaning of the EGR cooler 6 to the engine control unit 11, which in turn controls the EGR valves 5 and opens and closes them by means of closing and then opening an EGR valve 5 to generate a surge, which frees the EGR cooler 6 from the deposited there soot particles.
- the cleaning takes place by means of electronic control of the EGR valve 5, which, as can be seen in FIG. 2, is opened and closed in a pulse-like manner.
- An alternative embodiment provides that the EGR flap position is time-controlled. This means that the cleaning process takes place within a defined time interval.
- a temperature control is implemented instead of a time, which is realized by a temperature sensor behind the EGR cooler.
- the function is shown as a function of time in FIG.
- the cleaning effect in the EGR cooler is that the superficially adhering soot deposition is greatly reduced by forced pressure pulses.
- the pressure pulse is caused by increasing alternating valve opening angle of the upstream EGR actuator, as can be seen in Figure 2.
- the invention is applicable to all internal combustion engine with external EGR system and electronic control of the EGR actuator. reference numeral
