Definitions

  • An exhaust gas purification device that utilizes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst or selective catalytic reduction catalyst on a filter (SCRF) disposed on the exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine is commonly used.
  • SCR selective catalytic reduction
  • SCRF filter
  • the catalyst used in such purification devices is able to purify pollutants in the exhaust gas only when the temperature of the catalyst becomes higher than a certain temperature, i.e., the catalysts in the converter do not work when the temperature is lower than the activating temperature of the catalyst.
  • the catalyst in the purification device is gradually heated by the exhaust gas and reaches the activating temperature after the engine starts.
  • the temperature of the engine is low, for example, after a cold start of the engine, it may take a long time to heat the catalyst to the activating temperature because the heat of the exhaust gas may be removed by the cold wall of the exhaust passage before it reaches the converter. Therefore, in a cold start of the engine, the exhaust gas of the engine may not be sufficiently purified because the temperature of the catalyst is lower than the activating temperature.
  • EHCs electrically heated catalysts
  • a problem with the current system of having the heating element in the front of the substrate is that in systems where it is desired to use a NOx storage catalyst, the heating element may heat the NOx storage catalyst and initiate a thermal release of the NOx before the downstream SCR catalyst has reached its activation temperature.

Such a system would therefore be ineffective to reduce NOx emissions in the exhaust.
  • NOx storage coatings require a wide temperature storage window, such as from 20° C. to up 400° C., to allow a robust NOx performance overlap with a downstream SCR or SCRF catalyst.
  • the two main reasons for the need of an extended storage window are: a) the SCR or SCRF catalyst can be located in a substantially colder location, such as an underbody location due to packaging constraints in the engine bay; and b) the energy balance of the system: the NOx storage catalyst, which typically has a lower thermal mass than an SCR or SCRF catalyst, will heat up more quickly. Therefore, the higher thermal mass SCR or SCRF catalyst remains too cold to operate, especially for situations such as the FTP emissions test where the second hill acceleration is very aggressive.
  • systems and methods of the present invention address these issues, as it has been found that including an electric heating element downstream of the NOx storage catalyst but upstream of the SCR catalyst will heat up the SCR catalyst while the NOx is still stored so that the SCR catalyst is active to reduce NOx once the NOx storage catalyst releases the adsorbed NOx.
  • systems and methods of the present invention may provide further advantages by: a) reducing the requirement for an expensive/high washcoat loading NOx storage catalyst (NSC); and/or b) minimizing/removing the need for rich purging of the NSC.

  • NOx storage catalyst and heating element as described herein may also avoid the fuel penalty and pollutant generation associated with the exotherm requirement on a conventional EHC for which the operation requires to reach the operating window of the SCR as quickly as possible to start treating NOx.
  • Such system may be limited by the storage capacity of the NOx storage catalyst. Once the catalyst is full or is getting fuller such that the NOx storage efficiency is not acceptable, if the SCR or SCRF catalyst is too cold to be operated, NOx is slipped to the tail pipe. Such NOx slip can be prevented if the NOx storage catalyst can be purged with a rich gas mixture (conventional NOx storage catalyst). Typically, if this operation is attempted at temperature lower than 250° C., a significant quantity of the stored NOx is not reduced and may be slipped to the tail pipe.
  • Systems and methods of the present invention may act to ensure that the SCR or SCRF catalyst is at an acceptable temperature and reductant injection is started prior to release of the stored NOx, thereby enabling the NOx stored on the NOx storage catalyst to be converted by SCR reactions. Further, systems and methods of the present invention may allow the design of the system to be such that the NOx storage catalyst may have a smaller and lower temperature window and therefore the attributes of this catalyst can be chosen to minimize the aging of the SCR or SCRF catalyst downstream.
  • a conventional NOx storage catalyst will need to be desulphated with rich gas mixture at high temperature (>700° C.), however, these events will accelerate the deactivation of the SCR or SCRF catalyst during its lifetime operation.

  • Such system does not allow the storage of any NOx, and consequently this system will have no NOx removal capability at operating temperatures lower than SCR or SCRF catalyst light off.
  • Using an EHC as described in embodiments of the present invention will minimize the risk of pollutant slip during the heat up phase by ensuring that HC light off is achieved.
  • Systems and methods of the present invention may preferably be used to store NOx from a cold start of the engine.

  • the thermal purge may last less than 30 seconds, less than 25 seconds, less than 20 seconds, less than 15 seconds, less than 10 seconds, less than 5 seconds, about 1 second to about 30 seconds, about 5 seconds to about 25 seconds, or about 10 second to about 20 seconds.
  • a system in some embodiments of the invention, includes a heating element followed by a high thermal mass/low conductivity part, such as metallic substrate or filter substrate, comprising for example, aluminum titanate, cordierite, and/or silicon carbide.
  • a high thermal mass/low conductivity part such as metallic substrate or filter substrate, comprising for example, aluminum titanate, cordierite, and/or silicon carbide.
  • the addition of the high thermal mass/low conductivity part may provide additional benefits to the system, because the heated part would allow for less strict coordination of EHC heating and active NOx release from NOx storage catalyst.
  • Temperature and NOx accumulative mass difference were measured as a function of time in a system including PNA/dCSC+SCR-EHC+SCRF, such as the system depicted in FIG. 1 .
  • the results in FIG. 2 demonstrate the typical mismatch between the NOx adsorber and the downstream NOx reduction catalyst.
  • the NOx adsorber is releasing NOx at a temperature of about 250° C., however, the NOx reduction catalyst will not be effective at this temperature, and would effectively miss the first release of NOx.
  • Tests were run to determine temperature and NOx cumulative mass as a function of time in systems with and without heating. Exhaust gases were sampled over the PNA/dCSC and between the PNA/dCSC and the post SCRF position, with and without heating.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 The results are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 .
  • the temperature measured post EHC-SCR is highlighted, whereby operation with and without the EHC heating mode is depicted.
  • the addition of heat by way of the EHC ensures that the activity of the NOx reduction catalyst (SCR) can be triggered earlier than without the addition of heat.
  • the benefits of this heat are measured by way of a reduction in the cumulative NOx measured after the system previously described when the EHC is operated (specifically in this test at 2 kW of power).
  • This example examines whether it is possible to control the NOx storage-release characteristics of the PNA by thermal management (engine heat) and furthermore, whether the EHC-SCR can be used to capture the thermal release of NOx from the NOx storage catalyst.
  • a system was tested which included the following configuration: NOx storage catalyst, reductant injector, electrical heating element/SCR, reductant injector, SCRF, SCR.
  • the test cycle was the ECE portion of the NEDC, whereby every fourth ECE a lean purge is triggered.
  • the lean purge cleaning of the NOx storage catalyst included a 15 second lean purge (lambda 1.1) using engine de NOx mode.
  • For the lean purge cleaning of the NOx storage catalyst+electrical heating element/SCR in advance of the 15 second lean purge, heating of 1.5 kW was started 50 second prior to the purge, for a duration of 60 seconds.
  • the cumulative NOx mass from the engine is compared to the post aftertreatment systems with and without heating.
  • the release of NOx from the PNA/dCSC is controlled thermally by way of a deNOx purge (lambda near to 1).
  • the addition of strategic heating as previously described results in a reduction of NOx sampled after the aftertreatment system. It is therefore demonstrated that a strategic approach to heating the EHC-SCR can be coupled with engine modes to release NOx from the PNA/dCSC, resulting in an increase in NOx conversion from the aftertreatment system.
