Description

VEHICLE HAVING A HEATING DEVICE FOR EMISSION REDUCTANT FLUIDS
TEHNICWJ FIELD
The present invention relates to a vehicle having a heating device for emission reductant fluids.
BACKOUND
Selective Catalytic Reduction systems (SCR) are known as an efficient way to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOr) emissions of internal combustion engine systems.
The SCR is a catalytic device in which the nitrogen oxides (NOr) contained in the exhaust gas are reduced into diatonic nitrogen (N2) and water (H20), with the aid of a gaseous reducing agent, typically arrTnonia (NH3) that can be obtained by urea (CH4N2O) thermo-hydrolysis and that is absorbed inside the catalyst. Typically urea, or in general any suitable Diesel Emission Fluid (DEF) containing urea, is injected in the exhaust line and mixed with the exhaust gas upstream the SCR.
Known SCR systems may comprise a Diesel Emission Fluid (DEF) tank provided with a DEF pressure regulator, used to maintain DEF pressure at a certain setpoint to maximize injection spray efficiency. The DEF tank is connected downstream to a filter and a pump.
Regulations in some regions require that the aftertreatment maintain its function even below the freezing point of the emission fluid. As a result, it is necessary to provide heating of the fluid in the tank to thaw the fluid.
Current technology uses traditional resistive electric heating to thaw the emission fluid.
Furthermore, regulations for emission systems using fluid base emission reduction require a robust means of measuring the quantity of fluid in the vehicle reductant tank.
Since regulations mandate that low fluid level will result in power reduction and/or imaobilizing the vehicle, it is desirable to provide the driver an accurate and continuous measurement of the level of fluid available.
The fact that emission reductant fluid freezes prevents the use of normal level measurement methods. Current strategy only provides discrete measurement at a limited number of fluid levels and may require for example three measurement devices, namely three different fluid level sensors. This method of measurement is complex, costly and limits the resolution of the information that can be provided the driver.
An object of an embodiment of the invention is to provide enhancements to the technology used in aftertreatment systems using emission reductant fluids, like urea SCR systems or similar.
Another object of the present invention is to meet these goals by means of a simple, rational and inexpensive solution.
These objects are achieved by a vehicle having the features recited in the independent claim.
The dependent claims delineate preferred and/or especially advantageous aspects of the various embodiments.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which: Figure 1 is a schematic representation of an embodiment of the invention included in a vehicle.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED 1BCDIMENT
A preferred embodiment of the present invention is now described with reference to Figure 1 whereby a tank 15 for storing an emission reductant fluid 16 is depicted, the tank 15 having a fill port 18 for refilling and an outtake line for the fluid that comprises a filter 17 and a pump 14.
According to an embodiment hereby described, a microwave source 11 is provided, said microwave source being connected to a microwave emitter 12 suitable to emit microwave energy into the tank 15 for the emission reductant fluid herein stored.
The emission reductant fluid is therefore heated in order to reach or keep a desired temperature.
In the case of frozen emission fluid, microwave energy is modulated to heat fluid sufficiently to thaw the fluid. Since the water based emission fluids respond well to microwave energy, the microwave emission promotes thawing in tanks of various shapes.
Suitable electronics and controls supports initiation of management of the microwave device, said electronics maybe incorporated into the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the vehicle.
Also, suitable shielding of the surface of the tank may be provided for passenger protection from microwave radiation.
The fluid temporarily stored in tank 15 is subjected to an emission of a quantity of microwave radiation suitable to reach or keep a desired temperature for the fluid.
A further step may provide for temperature sensing in order to dictate activation and energy emission of the microwave device.
In general, said microwave emission is calculated in order to permit the fluid to reach or to keep a desired temperature. If the fluid is frozen, the device allows to thaw said emission reductant fluid.
Furthermore a device according to an embodiment of the invention may comprise a microwave detector 13 suitable to detect the microwave response generated by the quantity of fluid present in the tank when the fluid is subjected to an emission of microwaves.
The microwaves emitted are reflected by the fluid and by means of this reflections the quantity of the fluid in the tank is determined.
Specifically, in the case of quantity measurement, the microwave energy is applied periodically to create a energy response that can be detected and used to infer the mass of the fluid in the tank.
This measurement can be applied continuously to the fluid in the tank leading to an improvement with respect to the prior art that provided only discrete measurements.
In general however either continuous or periodic activation of the microwave device could be used to produce electromagnetic energy that, in turn would produce a detectible response correlated to the mass of the fluid in the reservoir. Since the measurement is based on the mass response to the electromagnetic energy, measurements can be made irrespective of the state of the fluid or of the motion of the vehicle.
Preferably, the microwave detector 13 is integral with the microwave emitter 12.
The embodiments described have several important advantages and benefits.
First a new and effective approach for thawing frozen emission reductant fluid or, in general, for heating them is provided enhancing the capabilities of the engine system as a whole.
A substantially improved measurement of fluid quantity is also provided.
A single system, namely the microwave system, replaces two systems used in current technology, namely three level sensors and a resistive heater.
Also, an enhanced On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capability is provided thanks to the erribodiments described which provide an high resolution fluid consumption measure that is insensitive to vehicle motion, because it senses fluid mass rather than fluid level.
While at least one exemplary embodiment has been presented in the foregoing summary and detailed description, it should be appreciated that a vast number of variations exist. It should also be appreciated that the exemplary embodiment or exemplary embodiments are only examples, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability, or configuration in any way. Rather, the foregoing sumary and detailed description will provide those skilled in the art with a convenient road map for implementing at least one exemplary embodiment, it being understood that various changes may be made in the function and arrangement of elements described in an exemplary embodiment without departing from the scope as set forth in the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
