Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods for controlling combustion processes in engines that utilize late direct cylinder injection of fuel, such as diesel engines, to reduce harmful emissions produced thereby.
- fuel such as diesel engines
- this application may at times simplistically refer only ⁇ o diesel engines, however, the scope of the invention equally applies to other engines that utilize late direct cylinder injection of fuel as well.
- NOx nitrogen oxides
- PM particulate matter
- EGR exhaust gas recirculation
- the Kimura publication does not disclose a method for two-way tuning of oxygen concentration , levels around a target range during transients (i.e. alternatively making adjustments to raise or lower the oxygen concentration, depending on positive or negative variance from a target oxygen concentration, to maintain oxygen concentration close to a target level).
- the Kimura publication disclose a sequential order in which changes in the rate • of fuel' feed wait for or follow EGR and boost pressure adjustments in order to obtain improved emissions performance during transients.
- Other prior art EGR control mechanisms for intake charge-air oxygen control focus on determining and controlling the amount (e.g. mass) of oxygen in the intake charge-air, rather than the oxygen concentration thereof. For example,. U.S. Patent No.
- 6,508,237 to Romzek discloses control of EGR flow rate, and uses intake oxygen amount calculations to guide adjustments to EGR flow rates and/or boost levels to correct the air/fuel ratios in combustion to desired levels.
- the Romzek patent does not target any particular oxygen concentration level.
- the Romzek patent disclose a sequential order in which changes in the rate of fuel feed are constrained to wait for or follow the EGR and boost pressure adjustments.
- the Romzek patent discloses that fuel delivery is determined based on engine torque demand as determined by a driver accelerator position sensor, prior to determination of a desired air intake composition and the making of EGR and boost adjustments to meet that target air composition.
- 6,273,076 to Beck also discloses a method for continuous adjustments to EGR flow rates, boost pressure levels, and other engine operating conditions in order to optimize fuel/air ratios and combustion temperatures for low NOx formation.
- the Beck '076 patent does not control oxygen concentration levels, nor does it discuss any linking of EGR adjustments and boost pressure adjustments to increase or decrease together in sequence or in tandem, nor does it discuss or take into account the interrelationship of adjustments to EGR flow rates and charge-air mass and air/fuel mass ratios.
- the goal in the Beck patent is to simply adjust the air levels to obtain a target air/fuel ratio for the given fuel quantity required for a particular torque demand.
- the Beck patent also provides (e.g., in Figure 11 thereof) that fuel supply is first adjusted (to the amount as required for a particular operating point) before adjustments of air supply, not vice versa. Therefore, a novel intelligent system for close control and adjustment of in- cylinder oxygen concentration levels, sequenced together with charge-air density controls in such a way as to minimize harmful emissions during transients, is needed for successful implementation of a low emission controlled temperature combustion engine.
- the present invention provides an effective method for close control and adjustment of in-cylinder oxygen concentration levels together with boost adjustments in such a way as to minimize harmful emissions during transients iii engines which utilize late direct cylinder injection of fuel.
- EGR flow rates are adjusted by means of an EGR control valve in a closed loop, linked fashion together with boost pressure changes during transients, to maintain intake charge-air oxygen concentration and boost levels preferably within critical ranges for controlled temperature, low emission combustion at all times.
- boost pressure changes e.g. vehicle acceleration
- corresponding increases in fuel feed into the cylinder are constrained to wait for or follow with boost adjustments.
- boost pressure and charge-air density enable the increase in fuel feed to respond to the driver's demand for more torque.
- Prior art diesel engines to the contrary, have fuel feed adjustments take place prior to (i.e. "lead") the adjustments in boost.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the preferred embodiment of the combustion system of the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a flow chart of the preferred method of the present invention.
- Figure 3 is a flow chart of an alternative method of the present invention.
- C v may be increased or decreased by manipulation of M.
- M in turn, may be increased or decreased by controlling the boost pressure of the charge-air in the intake system, thereby controlling the charge-air density. Therefore, by nature of the chain of relationships set forth above (and as set forth in greater detail in the parent application hereto), a necessary condition for combustion temperature to be controlled is manipulation of the boost pressure of the charge-air in the intake system. This finding opens possibilities for significant reduction of NOx formation through manipulation of boost pressure in internal combustion engines.
- the appropriate range might vary from an intake charge-air oxygen concentration level as low as about 10%, up to around 18%.
- intake charge-air oxygen concentration is kept within a low, tighter range at most engine speeds and loads, preferably maintaining intake charge-air oxygen concentration levels within a range of 12% to 13% or 14%.
- a higher intake oxygen concentration than this may be used without an adverse effect on emissions.
- the resulting desired range is for intake charge-air oxygen concentration in the combustion system used, maintaining intake charge oxygen concentration within this desired range over all normal operating conditions is essential for maintaining low levels of NOx and PM/smoke emissions for those operating conditions. Controlling Intake Charge- Air Oxygen Concentration and Density Together.
- EGR flow rates are appropriately adjusted together with boost pressure changes to respective values that achieve target oxygen concentration levels and charge-air boost pressure levels conducive to obtaining good, low-emission combustion at controlled temperatures to ensure low NOx and low PM/smoke combustion.
- Fuel is then injected responsive to the instant pressure level of boosted charge-air being taken into the cylinder for combustion (considering charge-air temperature).
- the preferred configuration for implementation of the present invention follows hereafter, with reference to the Figures likewise presented herein.
- internal combustion engine 22 is shown, preferably utilizing late direct cylinder fuel injection with a fuel with a relatively low auto-ignition temperature like conventional diesel fuel. Fuel is supplied to engine 22 through direct cylinder fuel injectors 23, 23', 23", etc.
- Exhaust gas is mixed with the intake ambient air at port 13, thereby forming an intake charge-air mixture.
- Exhaust gas is routed from the exhaust pipe at port 16 through exhaust gas cooler 11 to port 13, with optional condensate return- to-exhaust line 18 (regulated by optional exhaust gas flow control valve 14).
- the primary exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) control valve 12' is located just downstream of port 16 in the exhaust pipe. By restricting flow through EGR-regulating control valve 12', the EGR flow rate through ports 16 and 13 is controlled. Operation of the EGR-regulating control valve preferably proceeds through advanced closed loop feedback control methods, allowing close control of valve 12' to control EGR flow rates, coordinated with the adjustments in boost.
- Oxygen concentration control of the charge-air mixture after port 13 is thereby enabled by taking advantage of the fact that oxygen concentration in recirculated exhaust gas is lower than in ambient air, and thus the overall oxygen concentration level for any charge-air mixture may be efficiently controlled within a range by adjusting the ratio between ambient air and EGR. For example, restricting exhaust exit valve 12' will increase the EGR flow rate back to the engine. By this, or any other EGR control valve mechanism, since oxygen concentration in EGR is lower than ambient air, the increase in EGR return flow rate results in a reduction of intake charge-air oxygen concentration.
- the resulting intake charge-air oxygen concentration may be determined by either optional direct oxygen sensor 25', or calculated from other sensed parameters, by methods well-known to one skilled in the art.
- the EGR/ambient air (“charge-air”) mixture flows through and is compressed by compressor 19.
- compressor 19 may be a single stage compressor such as a Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT), or two or more compressors in series or parallel, and is primarily driven by exhaust gas expander motor 27 to provide a controlled boost pressure level to intake manifold 21.
- VGT Variable Geometry Turbocharger
- the extent of compression of the charge-air mixture is preferably controlled to be responsive to a driver's demand for power.
- controller 26 may then transmit appropriate signals to control boost, such as by sending a signal to expander motor 27 (e.g. to adjust the vane position, in the event of use of a VGT).
- An optional electric or hydraulic motor 28 may also be used and controlled by controller 26 to provide rapid boost level changes to assist in providing rapid torque response.
- controller 26 therefore sends appropriate signals to motor 28 to control boost level during transients and during any operating conditions where expander motor 27 alone cannot supply sufficient boost pressure.
- the resulting instant boost pressure level obtained from compressor 19 may then be determined by boost charge-air pressure sensor 31 , and adjustments to boost levels may then be adjusted and coordinated with fuel and EGR adjustments to respond to transient changes in operating conditions as will be discussed later. Downstream of compressor 19, the compressed charge-air flows through cooler
- Cooler 20 to intake manifold 21.
- Cooler 20 optionally contains a by-pass line and a by-pass .
- control valve 61 with controller 26 adjusting the control valve 61 to control charge-air temperature.
- Charge-air temperature may be determined by optional temperature sensor 30 for input to controller 26.
- Cooler 20 cools the charge-air to preferred charge-air temperature levels if desired.
- Optional port fuel-injectors 53 may be used in conjunction with direct fuel injectors 23 to minimize particulate formation and to rapidly adjust fuel injection levels if desired.
- optional oxygen sensor 25' may be used to directly determine the oxygen concentration in the charge-air.
- the intake charge-air oxygen concentration may be calculated based in part on readings from an exhaust oxygen sensor 25, or calculated or determined from other sensed parameters (not necessarily shown) by methods well-known to those skilled in the art.
- Optional charge-air mass flow sensor 29 may also be used to provide faster and more accurate engine control.
- the location where the sensors are placed may vary, depending on desired response times and other factors, as will be well understood in the art.
- Charge-air enters the combustion chamber (not shown) through conventional valves (not shown) in a conventional manner and exhaust gases leave the combustion chamber through conventional valves (not shown) and leave engine 22 through exhaust manifold 24.
- Exhaust particulate trap oxidizer 54 removes any particulate emissions and catalyst 51 oxidizes residual fuel and carbon monoxide.
- Engine speed is provided to controller 26 by speed sensor 32.
- maps are established and stored in the controller 26 to specify the optimum boost level, optimum (or a desired range for) intake charge-air oxygen concentration, and desired fuel rate for each speed and load over which the engine is specified to operate, to maintain the localized combustion temperatures below significant NOx-forming levels.
- Boost and fuel adjustments are coordinated to meet transient changes in engine operating conditions, such as an increase in driver demand for power (e.g. acceleration).
- controller 26 reads torque command from pedal sensor 33 and actual engine speed from speed sensor 32.
- controller 26 commands EGR control valve 12' to the position from stored maps appropriate to achieve the desired intake charge-air and exhaust oxygen concentrations.
- Controller 26 commands compressor motor 27 (and, if needed, compressor motor 28) to increase boost pressure level to the new target from stored maps associated with the commanded torque at the measured engine speed.
- the controller 26 reads actual boost level from sensor 31 and actual intake charge-air temperature from sensor 30, and from stored maps commands the appropriate fuel rate.
- closed-loop control loops may be utilized.
- Exhaust oxygen concentration may be read from sensor 25 and/or intake charge- air oxygen concentration may be read from sensor 25', with controller 26 comparing the actual or calculated (i.e.
- EGR control valve 12' determines charge-air oxygen concentration to the desired level for the actual operating point (from stored maps) and commanding EGR control valve 12' to adjust to achieve the target oxygen concentration.
- Actual boost level from sensor 31 may be compared by controller 26 to the desired level from stored maps and motors 27 and 28 adjusted as appropriate to achieve the target boost level.
- actual intake charge-air temperature from sensor 30 may also be compared by controller 26 to a desired temperature from stored maps and cooler 20 by-pass control valve 61 adjusted as appropriate to achieve such desired charge-air temperature.
- Fuel flow rate may also be adjusted based on the actual readings (fuel flow rate sensors not shown) to achieve the target fuel rate.
- the preferred sequence of steps in making said adjustments in the present invention is for adjustment of the EGR control valve (if necessary, to be sure that the resulting charge-air oxygen concentration will be within the desired range) to come first, followed by turbocharging adjustments, and then fuel feed adjustments consistent with the instant determined boost pressure
- step 1 it is first determined whether there has been a torque demand change, performed by controller 26 reading torque command from pedal sensor 33 (and actual engine speed from speed sensor 32). If there has been a torque demand change, controller 26 commands appropriate adjustments in EGR control valve 12' to increase (step 2) or decrease (step 2') EGR mass flow rates respectively to adjust the intake charge-air oxygen concentration toward desired levels.
- step 3 or 3' the intake (or charge-air) oxygen concentration is determined as read from sensor 25' or by other sensor and calculations means well-known in the prior art. Controller 26 then compares the instant determined intake oxygen concentration to the desired level for the actual operating point provided from stored maps in controller 26.
- Steps 2 and 2' form a loop with steps 3 and 3' of adjusting and comparing intake oxygen concentration toward target levels until the intake oxygen concentration reaches the target oxygen concentration level.
- boost adjustments are made. For example, if an increase in torque demand was determined in step 1 , in step 4 controller 26 commands adjustments to compressor motor 27 and (if needed) compressor motor 28 to increase boost pressure level toward the target provided to controller 26 from stored maps associated with the commanded torque at the measured engine speed. Similarly, if a decrease in torque demand was determined in step 1, in step 4' controller 26 commands adjustments to compressor motor 27 and (if needed) compressor motor 28 to decrease boost pressure level toward the target provided to controller 26 from stored maps associated with the commanded torque at the measured engine speed.
- step 7 controller 26 determines an appropriate fuel demand to match the determined boost pressure.
- Fuel is then injected by direct cylinder fuel injectors 23 into the cylinder in step 8.
- torque output may be determined in step 9 based on fuel rate or boost level.
- Present torque output may then be compared with current torque demand (as in step 1), with the loop repeating as appropriate to adapt to the current torque demand.
- FIG. 3 The method presented in Figure 3 follows the same steps 1 through 9 as shown in the preferred method presented in Figure 2, but in a different order.
- the primary difference from Figure 2 in the alternative method presented in Figure 3 is that upon a change in torque demand, boost levels are adjusted first instead of EGR mass flow rates. It should be noted, however, that boost levels and EGR levels are essentially adjusted together in both Figures since the controller's loops are much faster than the response characteristics of the boost or EGR systems. Otherwise, the rest of the method remains similar to the preferred method in Figure 2.
- a corresponding increase or decrease in boost directly follows in steps 4 (or 4'). Actual boost is determined in step 6.
- Fuel is then injected in steps 7 and 8 corresponding to the instant boost.
- the matching of fuel feed to the instant boost level takes into consideration the charge-air temperature, in order to correct for corresponding density changes; preferably, charge-air temperature is controlled to a target temperature for each load (i.e. boost level).
- Intake oxygen concentration is then determined in step 3, leading to adjustments of EGR flow rate (by increase in step 2 or decrease in step 2', respectively) until the intake charge-air oxygen concentration is determined to be within the target oxygen concentration range for that given time.
- Torque is then determined and compared with driver demand, with return loops following thereafter, as shown in step 9.
- additional considerations in obtaining a desired charge-air oxygen concentration may need to be taken into account.
- boost will cause variance in the resulting charge-air oxygen concentrations.
- Similar situations may exist in a low pressure EGR system as well, such as if boost changes are allowed to get ahead of EGR flow rate changes, which would also result in the boost adjustments causing increased variance in resulting charge-air oxygen concentrations.
- This additional challenge may be illustrated in a moire specific fashion by providing a situation where there is a demand for more torque by the driver. In such a case, the increase in engine load requires a greater quantity of fuel to be combusted.
- C v must increase proportionally with the increase in fuel quantity, which means M must be proportionally increased by increasing the boost pressure in the intake charge.
- M must be proportionally increased by increasing the boost pressure in the intake charge.
- boost pressure may cause the oxygen concentration level of the charge-air to be taken into the cylinder to drift outside of the desired concentration range.
- the resulting problem is how to continue to control the oxygen concentration levels without undermining the correction in density (boost) needed for the intake charge to control bulk combustion temperature.
- This challenge may be addressed by preempting or offsetting the variance effects on oxygen concentration caused by an increase or decrease in boost pressure by a additional counteracting adjustment in oxygen concentration through changing the mass flow rate of exhaust gas that is recirculated to the engine.
- the EGR control valve 12' may be adjusted by an additional increment to compensate for oxygen concentration variations anticipated to occur with the boost adjustments. This allows for a corresponding and counteracting increase in boost and intake air flow rate to increase charge-air oxygen concentration back to the desired level, with the increase in boost and charge-air density allowing an increase in fuel feed, without increasing combustion temperature, to respond to the driver's demand for more torque.
