Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for testing a decompression engine brake (DEB) system of a combustion engine, a combustion engine comprising a DEB system and a vehicle, in particular a heavy duty truck, comprising a combustion engine with a DEB system.
  • DEB decompression engine brake
  • Decompression engine brakes are one example of so-called primary retarders and can be found in many combustion engines, in particular in, but not limited to, heavy duty trucks.
  • the DEB system In order to provide and ensure a properly functioning DEB system, the DEB system should be tested on a regular basis and/or when a driver of the vehicle equipped with the DEB system realizes abnormal behavior of the DEB system and/or the engine.
  • the combustion engine can be driven during the test by a starter motor of the engine.
  • the starter motor can be too weak to drive the combustion engine at engine speeds close or equal to engine speeds at regular operation of the engine for a period long enough to perform the test and/or overheat during such a test.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method for testing a DEB system of a combustion engine that overcomes the problems mentioned above.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method for testing a DEB system that requires only little time and tests the DEB system at engine speeds close or equal to engine speeds at regular operation of the engine.
  • this object is achieved by a method for testing a decompression engine brake (DEB) system of a combustion engine according to claim 1, a combustion engine according to claim 15 and a vehicle according to claim 16.
  • DEB decompression engine brake
  • a method for testing a decompression engine brake (DEB) system of a combustion engine comprises DEB actuators to adjust opening characteristics of exhaust valves of the combustion engine.
  • the DEB actuators are configured to open the exhaust valve at the end of the compression stroke, thereby performing negative work on the engine.
  • the DEB actuators may comprise a dedicated cam and rocker for engine braking.
  • the DEB actuators may comprise a brake lobe integrated in an exhaust cam. In both cases, it may be possible to actuate the DEB on a single valve, for example by a pin-through-bridge design.
  • the test of the DEB system is performed while the engine is running. In order to test the DEB system for a cylinder under investigation, the following steps are performed:
  • Fuel injection is shut off for at least one cylinder, including the cylinder under investigation. Meanwhile, at least one other cylinder keeps the engine running. Consequently, no other engine, like an external engine or a starter motor, is needed to keep the engine running. Therefore, testing the DEB system can be done both quickly, since there is no need to connect an external engine to the engine, and at engine speeds that are close to or equal to engine speeds at regular operation of the engine, since even one or a few cylinders are powerful enough to reach such engine speeds when there is no load on the engine.
  • DEB is activated by the DEB actuators for at least one of the cylinders for which fuel injection has been shut off, including the cylinder under investigation. That is, if the DEB system works properly for the cylinder under investigation, the cylinder under investigation should perform negative work on the engine.
  • the result of the test of the DEB system for the cylinder under investigation is determined in dependence on the determined momentary unbalance on the crank shaft by the cylinder under investigation. If the momentary unbalance on the crank shaft by the cylinder under investigation is above a predetermined threshold, indicating negative work performed on the engine, the test indicates that the DEB system works properly for the cylinder under investigation. On the other hand, if the momentary unbalance on the crank shaft by the cylinder under investigation is below the predetermined threshold, a malfunctioning of the DEB system for the cylinder under investigation is detected.
  • DEB may be activated per single cylinder or per cylinder bank, depending, e.g., on the capabilities of the DEB actuators. It is important, however, that at least one cylinder keeps the engine running.
  • DEB may be deactivated for the cylinder under investigation and the method may be repeated for another cylinder under investigation. In order to do so, it may also be necessary to turn on fuel injection for the cylinder under investigation and shut off fuel injection for the other cylinder under investigation. Preferably, this is done until the method has been repeated for all cylinders of the combustion engine.
  • Determining the momentary unbalance on the crank shaft may be performed by measuring a cylinder acceleration signal, i.e., the acceleration of the engine caused by a cylinder.
  • a cylinder acceleration signal i.e., the acceleration of the engine caused by a cylinder.
  • this acceleration is negative, i.e., a deceleration.
  • a measurement of the cylinder acceleration signal is performed at a flywheel of the combustion engine or directly at the cylinder under investigation.
  • the acceleration signal may be measured by comparing the engine speed of the cylinder under investigation to a previous engine speed.
  • the engine speed of a predetermined event is measured.
  • the predetermined event is preferably an injection event, wherein the injection event for a cylinder for which the fuel injection has been shut off is defined as the event in the combustion cycle when fuel injection would occur if it had not been shut off.
  • Another example for a predetermined event is the passing of a predetermined tooth of a cylinder on the crank gear.
  • the predetermined tooth may be located somewhere at the expansion stroke of the cylinder.
  • Yet another predetermined event may be the time taken for the expansion stroke of the respective cylinder.
  • the previous engine speed is the engine speed of the predetermined event of a cylinder which precedes the cylinder under investigation in a cylinder firing sequence.
  • the acceleration signal is determined as the engine acceleration from one predetermined event to the next predetermined event, wherein the latter predetermined event is the predetermined event of the cylinder under investigation. That way, the deceleration caused by the cylinder under investigation, mainly provided by the compression stroke and the subsequent dissipation of the compressed air, is included in the measurement of the cylinder acceleration signal and therefore of the momentary unbalance on the crank shaft by the cylinder under investigation.
  • the difference of the momentary unbalance on the crank shaft by the cylinder under investigation with DEB deactivated on the cylinder under investigation and the momentary unbalance on the crank shaft by the cylinder under investigation with DEB activated on the cylinder under investigation is determined. That is, the momentary unbalance on the crank shaft by the cylinder under investigation is measured once when fuel injection is shut off and DEB is deactivated and once when fuel injection is shut off and DEB is activated. If the absolute value of the difference between the two measurements is greater than a predetermined threshold, the DEB actuators for the cylinder under investigation are working properly.
  • the DEB actuators for the cylinder under investigation either they fail to activate DEB on the cylinder under investigation or they permanently activate DEB on the cylinder under investigation, even when it is supposed to be turned off.
  • the measurement of the momentary unbalance on the crank shaft by the cylinder under investigation with DEB deactivated on the cylinder under investigation is performed after fuel injection has been shut off for the cylinder under investigation and before DEB is activated for the cylinder under investigation.
  • the measurement of the momentary unbalance on the crank shaft by the cylinder under investigation with DEB deactivated on the cylinder under investigation and fuel injection shut off for the cylinder under investigation may be compared to the measured momentary unbalance on the crank shaft by the cylinder under investigation with DEB deactivated on the cylinder under investigation and fuel injection turned on for the cylinder under investigation. If the difference in momentary unbalance on the crank shaft by the cylinder between fuel injection turned on and shut off is below a predetermined threshold, a faulty behavior of the cylinder under investigation, in particular with its fuel injection, is assumed and the test of the DEB system is aborted.
  • the difference of the momentary unbalance on the crank shaft by the cylinder under investigation with DEB activated and/or deactivated on the cylinder under investigation and an average momentary unbalance on the crank shaft by all cylinders may be determined. Said difference is, for example, indicative of whether DEB is always activated or always deactivated by the DEB actuators for the cylinder under investigation.
  • the average speed of the combustion engine may be held constant. This leads to more robust and significant results. Holding the average speed of the combustion engine constant may be achieved by use of a feedback control, adjusting the engine speed, e.g., by the amount of injected fuel to the cylinders for which fuel injection has not been shut off.
  • the method may be performed under repeatable test circumstances.
  • the repeatable test circumstances may include one or more of the following: a constant engine speed; a given variable turbine geometry (VTG) position; a given back pressure (BP) valve position; and a given exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve position.
  • VVT variable turbine geometry
  • BP back pressure
  • EGR exhaust gas recirculation
  • Repeatable test circumstances enable an even better determination of the proper functioning or malfunctioning of the DEB system.
  • repeatable test circumstances provide an accurate quantification of malfunctioning of the DEB system, which may help in determining the reason for the malfunctioning, e.g., by comparing the measured values to a look-up table containing previously determined values and/or predetermined thresholds and the corresponding reasons for malfunctioning of the DEB system.
  • VTG, BP valve and/or EGR valve positions using pre-defined VTG, BP valve and/or EGR valve positions, the effect of potentially malfunctioning VTG, BP valves and/or EGR valves on the test result can be minimized.
  • the reason is that a malfunctioning of the VTG, BP valve and/or EGR valve can also cause reduced engine braking performance, which may erroneously lead to the assumption of a malfunctioning of the DEB system.
  • one or more entry conditions may be defined. Before the engine is started and/or before fuel injection is shut off for the first cylinder under investigation, said entry conditions are checked and the method is only performed if all of the entry conditions are fulfilled.
  • the entry conditions may include one or more of the following: the engine is idling; a throttle pedal is not pressed; a vehicle comprising the combustion engine is standing still; no other failures are detected; no other engine test is in progress; for an automatic gearbox, the gearbox is in neutral position; and oil pressure, oil temperature, boost pressure and/or brake circuit air pressure are above calibrate-able thresholds.
  • Oil pressure and oil temperature have to be in a range where the DEB system should function normally, since, e.g., at a very low oil temperature, the DEB system will not perform properly and will therefore be disabled, leading to the erroneous assumption of a malfunctioning DEB system.
  • the brake circuit air pressure has to be above a certain threshold to ensure that the compressor is not activated, which may cause additional unbalance to the crank shaft and thereby influence the test results.
  • one or more exit conditions may be defined. Said exit conditions may be checked continuously while the method is performed and the method may be aborted if one or more of the exit conditions are fulfilled.
  • the exit conditions may include one or more of the following: a vehicle comprising the combustion engine is not standing still; a throttle pedal is pressed; for an automatic gearbox, the gearbox is not in neutral position; other engine tests are in progress; the test does not finish in a calibrate-able duration of time; engine speed is out of a calibrate-able threshold band; and boost pressure, oil pressure, oil temperature and/or brake circuit air pressure are equal to or below a calibrate-able threshold and/or their reading is not valid.
  • the combustion engine may be an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, such as a heavy duty truck.
  • the vehicle may be at rest while the method is performed, e.g., the method may be performed in a workshop. This yields the most reliable and time effective test results, since the test conditions can be controlled and there is no need to drive the vehicle on the road.
  • the results of the test of the DEB system may be visualized, in particular on a per cylinder basis. That way, it is easy to determine which DEB actuators need to be fixed.
  • the visualization may be a simple pass/fail visualization, a numeric or graphic representation of the DEB braking power per cylinder or even a graphic indication of the parts of the DEB actuators that might be broken.
  • the method may be performed automatically, i.e., with little or no human interaction.
  • the method may be performed by an engine control unit (ECU) of the combustion engine.
  • ECU engine control unit
  • the method is started and controlled by a workshop tool connected to the ECU, e.g., via an OBD interface.
  • Said workshop tool may be a generic workshop tool equipped with specific software.
  • determining the reason for malfunctioning may be performed by the workshop tool, wherein the look-up table with the previously determined values and/or predetermined thresholds and the corresponding reasons for malfunctioning of the DEB system is stored in the workshop tool. Since there is no need to hook up external equipment besides the workshop tool before performing the method, the method can be performed very quickly.
  • a combustion engine comprising a decompression engine brake (DEB) system and an electronic control unit (ECU) is provided, wherein the ECU is designed to perform the method according to the above description.
