Definitions

  • the invention concerns a method for determining a soot load of a particle filter with a selective catalytic coating.
  • a method is known from European patent application EP 2 749 745 A1 for determining a patent application of a particle filter with a selective catalytic coating in which two different determination methods are combined with each other.
  • a soot raw emission model or load model is used that calculates a soot emission depending on various engine parameters and determines the quantity deposited in the particle filter and removed by the continuous soot combustion with nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
  • NO2 nitrogen dioxide
  • Another model is used that calculates the soot load by measuring a differential pressure in the exhaust gas flow falling through the particle filter (differential pressure model).
  • a disadvantage of this is that for safety reasons—in particular component protection reasons—the regeneration of the particle filter is always triggered if one of the two models reaches the maximum allowable load limit stored in the internal combustion engine's control device. It is found that the determination of the soot load from the differential pressure is very imprecise, especially after an incomplete regeneration, also called partial regeneration.
  • the soot raw emission model for its part, has very sharp fluctuations in precision depending on the internal combustion engine's operating point, so there can be sharp fluctuations between the soot load values for the particle filters calculated by means of the two models. The overall result is a possible premature regeneration of the particle filter without it actually being necessary at the time indicated by one of the models.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a method that does not have these disadvantages.
  • the object is solved by creating a method for determining a soot load of a particle filter having a selective catalytic coating, namely a particle filter with a coating having a selective catalytic effect for reduction of nitrogen oxides, with the following steps: a nitric oxide conversion—especially current—is determined on the particle filter and a soot load of the particle filter—especially current—is determined from the particular nitric oxide conversion.
  • the soot load of the particle filter is determined depending on the particular nitric oxide conversion.
  • the nitric oxide conversion can also be determined by averaging individual nitric oxide conversion values determined in a predefinable time interval ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes.
  • this can also be combined with at least one other determination of the soot load based on at least one other model, wherein the very precise method addressed here in particular can be used to correct a soot load determined based on the other model correct or adapt the other model itself.
  • the method is preferably performed in an exhaust tract of an internal combustion engine, wherein the exhaust tract preferably has an oxidizing catalytic converter, in particular a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), and/or a nitric oxide storage catalyst (NSC).
  • an oxidizing catalytic converter in particular a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), and/or a nitric oxide storage catalyst (NSC).
  • DOC diesel oxidation catalyst
  • NSC nitric oxide storage catalyst
  • DOC diesel oxidation catalyst
  • NSC nitric oxide storage catalyst
  • an exhaust gas recirculation device is also used.
  • a multipath exhaust gas recirculation device having a high-pressure exhaust gas recirculation line and a low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation line.
  • the soot load is determined from the predetermined nitric oxide conversion by the specific nitric oxide conversion being compared with a nitric oxide conversion—preferably stored in a characterization field—having the particle filter provided with the selective catalytic compound when it is not loaded with soot; for example, when new or after a complete regeneration.
  • the current soot load can be determined very precisely by the comparison with this reference value of the particle filter without soot load.
  • an embodiment of the method is preferred that is characterized in that the soot load is determined with the procedure described here if an exhaust gas temperature—in particular current—that is preferably measured by a temperature sensor arranged in the exhaust tract upstream of the particle filter—is greater than or equal to a predetermined minimum temperature and less than or equal to a predetermined maximum temperature. It has been shown that there is a clear and, in particular, clearly evaluable connection between the nitric oxide conversion and the soot load of the particle filter, especially in a particular temperature range for the exhaust gas temperature upstream of the particle filter. Therefore, the method can be carried out with a particularly high accuracy in this temperature range. It is seen that the minimum temperature preferably is at least 175° C. to at most 210° C.
  • the maximum temperature is preferably from at least 240° C. to at most 280° C.
  • the soot load is preferably determined when the exhaust gas temperature upstream of the particle filter is from at least 150° C. to at most 300° C., preferably from at least 175° C. to at most 280° C., preferably from at least 175° C. to at most 240° C., preferably from at least 210° C. to at most 280° C., preferably from at least 210° C. to at most 240° C.
  • the temperature ranges stated here are particularly appropriate areas for a highly accurate determination of the soot load based on the determined nitric oxide conversion.
  • the minimum temperature and/or maximum temperature can preferably be variably set in a controller of an internal combustion engine.
  • An embodiment of the method is also preferred that is characterized in that for determining the soot load from the specific nitric oxide conversion a—particularly current—ratio of a nitrogen dioxide concentration to a total nitric oxide concentration in the exhaust gas is used upstream of the particle filter that is the sum of the nitrogen dioxide concentration and a nitrogen monoxide (NO) concentration.
  • a—particularly current—ratio of a nitrogen dioxide concentration to a total nitric oxide concentration in the exhaust gas is used upstream of the particle filter that is the sum of the nitrogen dioxide concentration and a nitrogen monoxide (NO) concentration.
  • An embodiment of the method is also preferred that is characterized in that the soot load is determined if the—in particular current—ratio of the nitrogen dioxide concentration to the total nitrogen oxide concentration in the exhaust gas upstream of the particle filter is greater than a predetermined minimum value.
  • a predetermined minimum value is from at least 10% to at most 50%, preferably from at least 20% to at most 40%, and particularly preferably from at least 30% to at most 50%. In these ranges, a highly accurate evaluation of the soot load depending on the predetermined nitrogen oxygen conversion is guaranteed.
  • an embodiment of the method is preferred that is characterized in that the nitrogen oxygen conversion at the particle filter is determined by means of nitric oxide sensors arranged upstream and downstream of the particle filter.
  • nitric oxide sensors are preferably provided in the exhaust tract anyway, so that no additional, expensive elements are needed for performing the method. The method can therefore be performed very cost-effectively.
  • the nitric oxide conversion at the particle filter can be determined very accurately with the aid of sensors provided upstream and downstream of it.
  • a differential measurement of the total nitrogen oxide concentration in the exhaust gas between the measuring point upstream and the measuring point downstream of the particle filter is preferably carried out. The nitric oxide conversion can thus be determined very simply and very precisely at the same time.
  • a nitric oxide sensor arranged downstream of the particle filter can also be arranged downstream of an additional SCR catalytic converter without particle filter function provided downstream of the particle filter.
  • An embodiment of the method is also preferred that is characterized in that the ratio of the nitrogen dioxide concentration to the total nitrogen oxide concentration in the exhaust gas is determined upstream of the particle filter based on the—in particular current—exhaust gas temperature upstream of the particle filter or upstream of a—in particular arranged upstream of the particle filter—oxidation catalyst, an exhaust gas mass flow over the oxidation catalyst, and/or an aging state of the oxidation catalyst.
  • the ratio of nitrogen dioxide to total nitrogen oxide is read depending on at least one of the named parameters from the characterization field. This is particularly preferably stored in a control device of the internal combustion engine that has the exhaust tract in which the method is performed.
  • Each of the parameters named here by itself characterizes the method addressed here, where in particular the named parameters together enable a very precise determination of the ratio so that they are suited to spanning a characteristic field for the ratio.
  • An embodiment of the method is also preferred that is characterized in that the soot load is compared by comparison of the determined nitric oxide conversion with a predetermined nitric oxide conversion of the unloaded particle filter; i.e., without soot load.
  • the method thus performed achieves a particularly high accuracy, as was already explained in greater detail above.
  • the predetermined nitric oxide conversion of the unloaded particle filter is preferably determined depending on an exhaust gas mass flow over the particle filter, the exhaust gas temperature upstream of the particle filter, the ratio of nitrogen dioxide to total nitrogen oxide upstream of the particle filter, a reducing agent load, in particular an ammonium (NH3) load, an aging status of the particle filter and/or an operating point of an internal combustion engine, the exhaust tract of which has the particle filter.
  • the predetermined nitric oxide conversion is read depending on at least one of the parameters here from a characterization field stored in particular in a control device for the internal combustion engine.
  • a characterization field stored in particular in a control device for the internal combustion engine.
  • Each of the parameters here by itself is already characteristic for the predetermined nitric oxide conversion, but in particular, the parameters named here in combination with each other are characteristic for the predetermined nitric oxide conversion, so that they are particularly suited to spanning a characterization field for the predetermined nitric oxide conversion.
  • the nitric oxide conversion of the particle filter not loaded with soot depending on the exhaust gas mass flow over the particle filter, the temperature upstream of the particle filter, the nitrogen dioxide to nitric oxide ratio before the particle filter, the reducing agent load of the particle filter, and the aging status of the particle filter are stored in the control device and read based on these factors for the current operating state of the internal combustion engine.
  • the reducing agent load of the particle filter is preferably determined with the aid of a suitable model, in particular calculated.
  • At least one of the aging statuses of the oxidation catalyst and/or the particle filter is preferably determined as aging factor, and in particular dependent on the factors of temperature over time.
  • a temperature-time integral can be formed for at least one of the named exhaust aftertreatment elements from which an aging status is then determined.
  • An embodiment of the method is also preferred that is characterized in that the soot load of the particle filter, in addition to the procedure previously described, is determined in the method by means of a load model and also additionally based on a differential pressure falling over the particle filter, in particular through a differential pressure model.
  • the soot load is determined in the method by means of a load model and also additionally based on a differential pressure falling over the particle filter, in particular through a differential pressure model.
  • There are then three options available for determining the soot load which can be used alternatingly for correction of the determined soot load and thus in combination with each other and assure a particularly high accuracy of the determination of the soot load.
  • a regeneration of the particle filter is preferably performed if one of the determination methods returns a soot load as the result that reaches or exceeds a predetermined maximum value for the soot load. This can guarantee that the particle filter is always regenerated if this is indicated.
  • An embodiment of the method is also preferred that is characterized in that the soot load is determined based on the nitric oxide conversion if a first load value for the soot load determined based on the load model and a second load value for the soot load determined based on the differential pressure have a difference that reaches or exceeds a predetermined difference threshold.
  • the very precise method for determining the soot load through the determined nitric oxide conversion described here is therefore preferably used if the two other determination methods yield sharply differing results, where this is an indication that at least one of the determination methods currently yields no reliable load values.
  • the soot load determined based on the nitric oxide conversion is preferably used for correction of the first and/or the second load value and/or for correction of the determination methods on which these load values are based.
  • This is based on the idea that the soot load determined using the method from the nitric oxide conversion—at least in particular operating ranges—is the most accurate possible soot load determinable. This can thus be used in a particularly favorable way for correction of the load values otherwise determined and/or the determination methods for determining these load values.
  • an embodiment of the method is preferred that is characterized in that conditions are deliberately set by control of an exhaust gas recirculation device and/or by active heating of an oxidation catalyst under which the soot load of the particle filter can be determined from the determined nitric oxide conversion.
  • An exhaust gas recirculation device is preferably used that has a high-pressure exhaust gas recirculation line and a low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation line.
  • a strategy for controlling the exhaust gas recirculation device can then be adapted as needed such that the exhaust gas recirculation occurs completely through the high-pressure exhaust gas recirculation line, thus achieving the best possible nitrogen dioxide formation on the oxidation catalyst.
  • a desired temperature range for the exhaust gas temperature can be specifically set.
  • the deliberate setting of such favorable conditions is preferably done in particular if the two other determination methods, i.e., in particular the load model and the differential pressure model, yield sharply different load values, where a difference between the load values preferably reaches or exceeds a predetermined difference threshold.
  • the invention also includes a control device for an internal combustion engine, which is designed for performing a preferred embodiment of the method. It is possible that the control device is the engine control unit (ECU) of the internal combustion engine. Alternatively, it is also possible that a separate control device is provided for performing the method.
