Definitions
- the invention relates to the operation of an NOx storage catalytic converter in internal combustion engines which are operated with a lean air/fuel mixture.
- internal combustion engines are lean operated spark ignition engines or diesel engines.
- NOx storage catalytic converters are used for the exhaust-gas after treatment in the combustion of lean air/fuel mixtures.
- the NOx storage catalytic converters store the nitrogen oxide, which is emitted in lean engine operation, in a first operating phase whose length is in the order of magnitude of minutes.
- a second shorter operating phase having a length in the range of seconds, an emptying of the storage takes place via the supply of exhaust gas with a reducing agent to the storage catalytic converter.
- the storage capability of the NOx catalytic converter is dependent upon charge and reduces continuously. If the first phase takes too long, then unwanted nitrogen oxide emissions occur. A second phase which takes too long has increased HC emissions and CO emissions as a consequence.
- the regeneration is preferably achieved by injecting fuel into the exhaust-gas system ahead of the catalytic converter.
- the transition from lean to rich and the total regeneration process is especially critical because the varying flow conditions make the appropriate metering for generating a homogeneous distribution of the reducing agent in the exhaust gas ahead of the catalytic converter difficult. This transition phase appears not to be capable of being modeled with a reasonable complexity under the changing flow conditions in the exhaust gas.
- the invention relates to the problem of controlling the change between the two phases.
- An advantage of the invention lies in the significantly more unified conditions of the regeneration phase.
- FIG. 1 shows the technical background in which the invention develops its effect
- FIG. 2 shows time-dependent traces of various signals
- FIG. 3 shows a modified structure for realizing the invention
- FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in the form of a flowchart.
- FIG. 1 shows an internal combustion engine 1 having an NOx storage catalytic converter 2 , exhaust-gas probes 3 and 4 , a control apparatus 5 , a fuel metering device 6 and various sensors ( 7 , 8 , 9 ) for load L and rpm n as well as other operating parameters of the engine as may be required such as temperature, throttle flap position, et cetera.
- the control apparatus forms, inter alia, fuel metering signals with which the fuel metering means 6 is driven.
- the fuel metering means 6 can be configured for a so-called intake manifold injection as well as for a gasoline direct injection into the combustion chambers la of the individual cylinders.
- the variation of the mixture composition can take place via a change of the injection pulse widths with which the fuel metering means is driven.
- the essence of the method of the invention relates, in this environment, primarily to the control apparatus 5 and the exhaust-gas probe 4 mounted rearward of the catalytic converter.
- FIG. 2 presents in FIG. 2 a the change in the mixture composition “lambda” ahead of the catalytic converter (line 2 a ) in combination with the signal US of the rearward exhaust-gas probe 4 (line 2 b ) and the NOx concentration (line 2 c ) rearward of the catalytic converter.
- the rearward exhaust-gas probe can, for example, be realized as an oxygen measuring sensor, a hydrocarbon sensor (HC sensor), as a carbon dioxide sensor (CO sensor) or as a nitrogen oxide sensor. What is shown is the signal of an oxygen sensor which supplies a high signal level when there is an oxygen deficiency and a low signal level when there is an oxygen excess.
- the low signal level of the rearward probe (line 2 b ) indicates that an air or oxygen excess is present also rearward of the catalytic converter.
- the mixture composition is reversed from lambda greater than one to lambda less than one, that is, oxygen deficiency.
- the rearward sensor 4 reacts to the oxygen deficiency with an increase of its signal from a low level to the high level.
- the illustrated change of the mixture composition leads to the situation that the engine emits hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide as reducing agents.
- the reducing agent can be supplied from a supply tank 11 via a valve 12 to the exhaust gas forward of the catalytic converter.
- the valve 12 is driven by the control apparatus 5 .
- the engine can then be operated continuously with a lean mixture.
- FIG. 3 A corresponding modification of the structure of FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. 3.
- the regeneration phase is not modeled via computations and therefore is held variable.
- a predetermined constant mass of fuel is introduced into the exhaust-gas system ahead of the catalytic converter in each case for regeneration.
- the storing phase is then adapted in its duration to the regeneration phase. Defective adaptations are determined by an exhaust-gas probe mounted rearward of the catalytic converter and are reduced by influencing the length of the storing phase. For this purpose, the storing phase is shortened when an exhaust-gas probe signals no adequate change of the concentration of an exhaust-gas component toward the end of the regeneration phase. If such a change occurs, however, too early, then the storing phase is lengthened.
- FIG. 4 An embodiment of the method of the invention is shown in FIG. 4.
- Step 1 represents an engine operation with a lean mixture.
- the NOx which is emitted by the engine in this operating phase, it taken up by the storage catalytic converter.
- the degree of charge of the storage catalytic converter is computed in step 2 from operating parameters of the engine such as known, for example, from DE 197 39 848.
- control apparatus If the degree of the charge reaches a threshold value SW—NOx, the control apparatus triggers a regeneration of the storage catalytic converter. This is shown in steps 3 and 4 .
- the predetermined mass of reducing agent can be metered from the tank 11 into the exhaust gas forward of the storage catalytic converter via the controllable valve 12 .
- the predetermined mass of reducing agent is generated in the exhaust gas by a rich engine operation. For example, all fuel metering signals, which are specific for the normal engine operation with lean mixture, can be increased in a predetermined manner until the sum of the increases of the fuel metering signals corresponds to the desired fuel mass predetermined for the regeneration.
- the signal does not reach the threshold, this means that no oxygen deficiency has arisen rearward of the catalytic converter at the end of the regeneration.
- the reducing agent quantity has then not been adequate to completely regenerate the NOx storage catalytic converter.
- it is not the reduction agent quantity which is increased, but the storing phase is shortened.
- the illustrated example achieves the shortening via a reduction of the threshold value SW—NOx in step 6 . If, in contrast, the reaction of the rearward probe is too pronounced (which, for example, can be determined in step 5 by the threshold value being exceeded), a lengthening of the storing phase takes place in step 7 via an increase of the threshold value SW—NOx.
