Description

엔진 냉간시동시 촉매의 조기 활성화를 위한 담체 가열식 촉매컨버터장치{Catalyst converter apparatus}Carrier-heated catalytic converter device for early activation of catalyst during cold start of engine

본 발명은 엔진 냉간시동시 촉매의 조기 활성화를 위한 담체 가열식 촉매컨버터장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a carrier heating catalytic converter device for the early activation of the catalyst during engine cold start.

배기가스중에는 인체에 유해한 CO, HC 및 NOx 등의 성분이 다량으로 함유되어 있어 이를 그대로 대기로 방출하는 경우 대기오염을 유발하게 되므로, 배기파이프의 도중에 촉매컨버터를 설치하여 상기 유해 성분들을 촉매의 산화·환원작용에 의해 각기 무해한 CO2, H2O, 및 N2 로 변환하여 배출토록 하고 있다.The exhaust gas contains a large amount of components such as CO, HC, and NOx, which are harmful to the human body, and if it is released into the atmosphere, air pollution is caused. Therefore, a catalytic converter is installed in the middle of the exhaust pipe to oxidize the catalyst. · They are converted into harmless CO 2 , H 2 O, and N 2 by the reduction action.

도 5에 종래의 일반적인 촉매컨버터장치(20)를 도시하였는 바, 시라우드 케이스(21)내에 마치 벌집모양의 격자상 구조로 형성된 촉매(22, 담체)를 수용하여 배기가스가 촉매(22)를 통과하면서 촉매(22) 표면에 코팅되어 있는 귀금속, 예를들면 백금과 로듐 및 파라듐으로 구성된 귀금속과의 반응으로 유해가스를 산환·환원시킨 후 대기중에 방출하게 된다.5 shows a conventional general catalytic converter device 20, the catalyst 22 (carrier) formed in the shroud case 21 in the shape of a honeycomb lattice structure is contained in the exhaust gas. While passing through the reaction, the noble metal coated on the surface of the catalyst 22, for example, platinum, noble metal composed of rhodium and palladium, converts and reduces harmful gas and releases it into the atmosphere.

그런데 촉매가 정화기능을 발휘하기 위해서는 활성화가 이루어져야 하는데 촉매가 제기능을 발휘하기 위한 활성화 온도는 약 300 ~ 400℃ 이상에 도달해야하는 것으로 알려져 있다.By the way, the catalyst must be activated in order to exhibit a purification function, the activation temperature for the catalyst to function properly is known to reach about 300 ~ 400 ℃ or more.

그러나 엔진의 시동초기 냉간 상태에서는 배기가스 온도가 낮고 실린더헤드 및 배기매니폴드도 냉각되어 있기 때문에 배출되는 배기가스에 의해 담체(촉매)가 가열되어 활성화 온도에 도달하기까지에는 어느정도 시간이 걸리게 되므로써 촉매컨버터장치(20)가 제기능을 발휘하지 못해 냉간시동 상태하에서는 정화처리되지 않은 배기가스가 대량으로 배출되므로써 대기오염의 중요한 요인이 되고 있다. 이 때문에 담체의 용량을 증대시키거나 실린더헤드와 담체와의 거리를 가깝게 유지토록 하고 있으나, 이러한 해결방안은 가격이 상승하고 엔진의 레이아웃성을 해치게 되어 그다지 바람직스럽지 않다는 점이 지적되고 있다.However, since the exhaust gas temperature is low in the initial cold state of the engine and the cylinder head and exhaust manifold are also cooled, it takes some time for the carrier (catalyst) to be heated by the exhaust gas to reach the activation temperature. Since the converter device 20 does not function properly, large amounts of exhaust gas which is not purified under a cold start state are discharged, which is an important factor of air pollution. For this reason, the capacity of the carrier is increased or the distance between the cylinder head and the carrier is kept close. However, it is pointed out that this solution is not preferable because the price increases and the layout of the engine is compromised.

이에 본 발명은 상기한 점을 감한하여 제안한 것으로서 그의 목적으로 하는 것은Therefore, the present invention is proposed by subtracting the above point, and its object is to

도면중 부호 1은 시라우드 케이스로서 배기파이프의 도중에 접속되며, 그 시라우드 케이스(1)의 내부에는 원통형의 격자상 담체(2)가 매트(3)에 싸여져 수용되어 있다.In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a shroud case, which is connected in the middle of the exhaust pipe, and a cylindrical lattice carrier 2 is enclosed in the mat 3 and accommodated inside the shroud case 1.

상기한 격자상 담체(2)는 도 4에서와 같이 길이방향을 따라 +자상의 4조각으로 분할하여 각 분할면(2a)들을 다시 합침에 있어서 그 분할된 경계면(4)에 도 2에 도시하는 것과 같은 전열기구(5)를 내장하고 있다.The lattice carrier 2 is divided into four pieces in the shape of + in the longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. 4, and the respective divided surfaces 2a are shown in FIG. The same heat transfer mechanism 5 is incorporated.

그리고 +자형 전열기구(5)는 밧데리전원(Ⅴ)에 접속되어 있다.The + -shaped heat transfer mechanism 5 is connected to the battery power source V. As shown in FIG.

이하 본 발명의 작동에 대하여 설명한다.Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described.

엔진이 가동되면 촉매온도센서(10)로부터 담체(2, 촉매)의 온도를 측정하여 그 측정신호가 전자제어장치(11)에 보내진다.When the engine is operated, the temperature of the carrier 2 (catalyst) is measured from the catalyst temperature sensor 10, and the measurement signal is sent to the electronic controller 11.

전자제어장치(11)는 촉매온도센서(10)로부터 보내져온 온도정보가 촉매(담체)의 활성화 온도인 300 ~ 400℃, 예를들면 300℃에 미달하는 경우 전열기구(5)에 전원(Ⅴ)을 공급하여 발열시키도록 제어한다.The electronic controller 11 supplies power to the heating device 5 when the temperature information sent from the catalyst temperature sensor 10 is lower than 300 to 400 ° C, for example, 300 ° C, which is the activation temperature of the catalyst (carrier). ) To control the heat generation.

이에따라 전열기구(5)가 700℃ 이상으로 발열하여 담체(2)를 가열하게 되며, 담체(2)는 신속히 가열되어 활성화 온도에 도달하여 배기가스를 정화하게 되는 것이다.Accordingly, the heat transfer mechanism 5 generates heat above 700 ° C. to heat the carrier 2, and the carrier 2 is rapidly heated to reach an activation temperature to purify the exhaust gas.

시간이 경과하여 촉매온도센서(10)로부터 활성화 온도인 300℃ 이상이 검출되면 전자제어장치(11)는 전열기구(5)에의 전원공급을 차단하며, 담체(2)는 이후 고온의 배기가스온도에 의해 활성화 온도를 유지하게 되는 것이다.When time elapses, when the activation temperature of 300 ° C. or more is detected from the catalyst temperature sensor 10, the electronic controller 11 cuts off the power supply to the heat transfer mechanism 5, and the carrier 2 then has a high exhaust gas temperature. It is to maintain the activation temperature.

이상과 같은 본 발명은 배기가스 정화를 담당하는 담체(촉매)내에 전열기구를 매설하여 엔진의 냉간시동 초기 전열기구에 의해 신속히 담체를 활성화 온도로 상승시키는 것에 의해서, 배기가스를 다량으로 배출하므로써 환경 악화의 주요인으로 지목되는 엔진의 냉간시동시에도 담체의 정화기능을 조기에 활성화시킬 수 있어 대기오염 방지에 크게 효과가 있게 된다.The present invention as described above, by embedding the heat transfer mechanism in the carrier (catalyst) responsible for the exhaust gas purification by rapidly raising the carrier to the activation temperature by the cold start initial heat transfer mechanism of the engine, by exhausting a large amount of exhaust gas Cold start of the engine, which is the main cause of the deterioration, can activate the purification function of the carrier at an early stage, which is greatly effective in preventing air pollution.
