배기 시스템, 및 이의 제어방법{EXHAUST SYSTEM AND THE CONTROL METHOD THEREOF} EXHAUST SYSTEM AND THE CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

본 발명은 선택적 환원 촉매가 코팅된 디젤 매연 필터(selective catalytic reduction catalyst on diesel particulate filter; SDPF)를 구비한 배기 시스템, 및 이의 제어방법에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to an exhaust system having a selective catalytic reduction catalyst on diesel particulate filter (SDPF) coated thereon, and a method for controlling the same.

일반적으로 엔진에서 배기매니폴드를 통해 배출되는 배기가스는 배기파이프에 설치된 촉매 컨버터(Catalytic Converter)로 유도되어 정화되고, 머플러를 통과하면서 소음이 감쇄된 후 테일 파이프를 통해 대기 중으로 배출된다. In general, the exhaust gas discharged from the engine through the exhaust manifold is guided to a catalytic converter installed in the exhaust pipe to be purified, and the noise is attenuated while passing through the muffler, and then discharged to the atmosphere through the tail pipe.

상기 촉매 컨버터는 배기가스에 포함되어 있는 오염물질을 정화한다. 그리고 배기파이프 상에는 배기가스에 포함된 입자상 물질(Particulate Matters: PM)을 포집하기 위한 매연 필터가 장착된다.The catalytic converter purifies pollutants contained in the exhaust gas. In addition, a soot filter for collecting particulate matter (PM) contained in the exhaust gas is mounted on the exhaust pipe.

선택적 환원(Selective Catalytic Reduction; SCR) 촉매는 배기가스에 포함된 질소산화물(NOx)을 정화시키는 촉매 컨버터의 한 형식이다. 우레아(Urea), 암모니아(Ammonia), 일산화탄소 및 탄화수소(Hydrocarbon; HC) 등과 같은 환원제를 배기가스에 제공하면 SCR 촉매에서는 배기가스에 포함된 질소산화물이 상기 환원제와의 산화/환원 반응을 통해 환원되게 된다.A Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst is a type of catalytic converter that purifies nitrogen oxides (NOx) contained in exhaust gas. When a reducing agent such as urea, ammonia, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon (HC) is provided to the exhaust gas, the SCR catalyst reduces nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas through an oxidation/reduction reaction with the reducing agent. do.

최근에는, 강화된 배기가스 규제에 대응하기 위하여 SCR 촉매와 함께 린녹스트랩(Lean NOx Trap; LNT)를 사용하고 있다. LNT는 엔진의 공연비가 희박(lean)한 분위기에서 작동되면 배기가스에 포함된 질소산화물을 흡착하고, 엔진의 공연비가 농후(rich)한 분위기에서 작동되면 흡착된 질소산화물을 탈착하며, 탈착된 질소산화물과 배기가스에 포함된 질소산화물을 환원시킨다.Recently, Lean NOx Trap (LNT) is used together with an SCR catalyst in order to respond to stricter exhaust gas regulations. LNT adsorbs nitrogen oxides contained in exhaust gas when the engine is operated in an atmosphere with a lean air-fuel ratio, and desorbs adsorbed nitrogen oxides when the engine is operated in an atmosphere with a rich air-fuel ratio. It reduces oxides and nitrogen oxides contained in exhaust gas.

그런데, LNT와 SCR 촉매를 함께 사용하는 경우, 공간적 제약 때문에 SCR 촉매가 디젤 매연 필터에 코팅될 수 있다. 선택적 환원 촉매가 코팅된 디젤 매연 필터(selective catalytic reduction catalyst on diesel particulate filter; SDPF)는 배기가스에 포함된 입자상 물질을 포집하고 환원제를 이용하여 배기가스에 포함된 질소산화물을 제거한다. However, when the LNT and the SCR catalyst are used together, the SCR catalyst may be coated on the diesel soot filter due to space constraints. A selective catalytic reduction catalyst on diesel particulate filter (SDPF) collects particulate matter contained in exhaust gas and uses a reducing agent to remove nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas.

여기서, SDPF에 포집된 입자상 물질이 설정량 이상이면, 배기가스의 온도를 올려 SDPF에 포집된 입자상 물질을 태워 제거한다. 이를 SDPF의 재생이라고 한다.Here, if the particulate matter collected in the SDPF is equal to or greater than the set amount, the temperature of the exhaust gas is raised to burn the particulate matter collected in the SDPF to remove it. This is called SDPF regeneration.

엔진(10)은 연료와 공기가 혼합된 혼합기를 연소시켜 화학적 에너지를 기계적 에너지로 변환한다. 엔진(10)은 흡기매니폴드(16)에 연결되어 연소실(12) 내부로 공기를 유입받으며, 연소 과정에서 발생된 배기가스는 배기매니폴드(18)에 모인 후 엔진 밖으로 배출되게 된다. 상기 연소실(12)에는 인젝터(14)가 장착되어 연료를 연소실(12) 내부로 분사한다.The engine 10 converts chemical energy into mechanical energy by burning a mixture of fuel and air. The engine 10 is connected to the intake manifold 16 to receive air into the combustion chamber 12 , and exhaust gas generated in the combustion process is collected in the exhaust manifold 18 and then discharged out of the engine. An injector 14 is mounted in the combustion chamber 12 to inject fuel into the combustion chamber 12 .

여기에서는 디젤 엔진을 예시하였으나 희박 연소(lean burn) 가솔린 엔진을 사용할 수도 있다. 가솔린 엔진을 사용하는 경우, 흡기매니폴드(16)를 통하여 혼합기가 연소실(12) 내부로 유입되며, 연소실(12) 상부에는 점화를 위한 점화플러그(도시하지 않음)가 장착된다. 또한, 가솔린 직접 분사(Gasoline Direct Injection; GDI) 엔진을 사용하는 경우, 디젤 엔진과 마찬가지로 인젝터(14)가 연소실(12)의 상부에 장착된다.A diesel engine is exemplified here, but a lean burn gasoline engine may be used.

The LNT 40 occludes nitrogen oxides (NOx) contained in exhaust gas in a lean atmosphere, desorbs nitrogen oxides stored in a rich atmosphere, and nitrogen oxides or desorbed nitrogen oxides contained in exhaust gas. reduce nitrogen oxides. In addition, the LNT 40 oxidizes carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) contained in the exhaust gas.

여기에서, 탄화수소는 배기가스와 연료에 포함된 탄소와 수소로 구성된 화합물을 모두 지칭하는 것으로 이해하여야 할 것이다.Here, it should be understood that the hydrocarbon refers to both a compound composed of carbon and hydrogen contained in exhaust gas and fuel.

상기 LNT(40)의 후방 배기파이프(20)에는 제2 산소 센서(76), 제2 온도 센서(78) 및 제1 녹스 센서(80)가 장착되어 있다.A second oxygen sensor 76 , a second temperature sensor 78 , and a first Knox sensor 80 are mounted on the rear exhaust pipe 20 of the LNT 40 .

상기 제2 산소 센서(76)는 상기 매연 필터(60)에 유입되는 배기가스에 포함된 산소량을 측정하여 이에 대한 신호를 상기 제어기(70)에 전달한다. 상기 제1 산소 센서(72)와 제2 산소 센서(76)의 검출값을 기초로 상기 제어기(70)는 배기가스의 린/리치 제어를 수행할 수 있다. 본 명세서에서 상기 제2 산소 센서(76)의 측정값을 필터 전단의 공연비(lambda)라고 칭하기로 한다.The second oxygen sensor 76 measures the amount of oxygen included in the exhaust gas flowing into the soot filter 60 and transmits the signal to the controller 70 . Based on the detection values of the first oxygen sensor 72 and the second oxygen sensor 76 , the controller 70 may perform lean/rich control of the exhaust gas. In this specification, the measured value of the second oxygen sensor 76 will be referred to as an air-fuel ratio (lambda) of the front end of the filter.

제2 온도 센서(78)는 상기 매연 필터(60)에 유입되는 배기가스의 온도를 측정하여 이에 대한 신호를 상기 제어기(70)에 전달한다. 여기서, 상기 매연 필터(60)에서 배출되는 배기가스의 온도를 감지하고, 이를 상기 제어기(70)로 전송하는 제3 온도 센서(90)가 더 배치될 수 있다. The second temperature sensor 78 measures the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing into the soot filter 60 and transmits a signal corresponding thereto to the controller 70 . Here, a third temperature sensor 90 that detects the temperature of the exhaust gas discharged from the soot filter 60 and transmits it to the controller 70 may be further disposed.

제1 녹스 센서(80)는 매연 필터(60)에 유입되는 배기가스에 포함된 NOx 양을 측정하여 이에 대한 신호를 상기 제어기(70)에 전달한다. 상기 제1 녹스 센서(80)에서 측정된 NOx 양은 상기 분사 모듈(50)에서 분사할 환원제의 양을 결정하는데 사용될 수 있다.The first Knox sensor 80 measures the amount of NOx included in the exhaust gas flowing into the soot filter 60 and transmits a signal corresponding thereto to the controller 70 . The amount of NOx measured by the first Knox sensor 80 may be used to determine the amount of the reducing agent to be sprayed by the injection module 50 .

분사 모듈(50)은 상기 매연 필터(60)의 전단 배기파이프(20)에 장착되어 있으며, 제어기(70)에 의하여 제어되어 환원제를 배기가스에 분사한다. 통상적으로, 분사 모듈(50)은 요소를 분사하며, 분사된 요소는 가수분해에 의하여 암모니아로 변환된다. The injection module 50 is mounted on the exhaust pipe 20 at the front end of the soot filter 60 and is controlled by the controller 70 to inject the reducing agent into the exhaust gas. Typically, the injection module 50 injects urea, and the injected urea is converted into ammonia by hydrolysis.

그러나, 환원제는 암모니아에 한정되지는 않는다. 이하에서는 설명의 편의상 환원제로 암모니아를 사용하고 분사 모듈(50)에서 요소를 분사하는 것을 예시한다. 그러나, 본 발명의 기술적 사상 내에서 암모니아 이외의 환원제를 사용하는 것도 본 발명의 범위에 포함되는 것으로 이해되어야 할 것이다.However, the reducing agent is not limited to ammonia.
