  • diesel fuel is used as fuel in DPF (diesel particulate filter) systems which comprise a particle filter.
  • the particle filter is adapted to capturing, for example, diesel particles and soot.
  • DOC oxidation catalyst
  • active regeneration of the particle filter diesel fuel is supplied to an exhaust pipe downstream of an engine and is led into an oxidation catalyst, also called DOC.
  • DOC oxidation catalyst
  • said diesel fuel is burnt and causes a rise in the temperature of the exhaust system. Active regeneration of the particle filter situated downstream of the oxidation catalyst can thus be effected.
  • One type of DPF system comprises a container for diesel fuel.
  • the DPF system may also have a pump adapted to drawing said diesel fuel from the container via a suction hose and to supplying it via a pressure hose to a dosing unit situated adjacent to an exhaust system of the vehicle, e.g. adjacent to an exhaust pipe of the exhaust system.
  • the dosing unit is adapted to injecting a necessary amount of diesel fuel into the exhaust pipe upstream of the particle filter according to operating routines stored in a control unit of the vehicle.
  • the system also comprises a return hose which runs back from a pressure side of the system to the container.
  • This configuration makes it possible to cool the dosing unit by means of said diesel fuel which, during cooling, flows from the container via the pump and the dosing unit and back to the container. This results in active cooling of the dosing unit.
  • the return flow from the dosing valve to the container is currently substantially constant.
  • thermal energy is stored in the exhaust system. This thermal energy may be transferred to, for example, the dosing unit.
  • the dosing unit As the dosing unit is currently situated adjacent to the vehicle's exhaust system which becomes warm during operation of the vehicle, e.g. depending on the engine's load, there is risk of the dosing valve becoming overheated. Overheating of the dosing unit may entail degradation of its functionality, potentially impairing its performance.
  • the dosing unit currently comprises electrical components, certain of them being provided with a circuit card. Said circuit card may for example be adapted to controlling the dosing of diesel fuel to the vehicle's exhaust system. For various reasons, these electrical components are sensitive to high temperatures. Too high temperatures of the dosing unit may result in degradation of the electrical components, potentially leading to expensive repairs at a service workshop.
  • diesel fuel present in the dosing unit may at least partly convert to solid form at too high temperatures, potentially leading to obstruction of the dosing unit.
  • said diesel fuel undergoes pyrolysis in the dosing unit and is thereby at least partly converted to coke.
  • at least part of said diesel fuel may carbonise. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the temperature of the dosing unit of the DPF system should not exceed a critical level.
  • Cooling the dosing unit of a vehicle's DPF system currently takes place continuously during the vehicle's ordinary operation as a result of said diesel fuel circulating within the DPF system as indicated above. To some extent, cooling the dosing unit during operation of the vehicle currently works satisfactorily. There is however always a need to improve the performance of vehicles' existing subsystems, e.g. DPF systems, not least from a competition perspective.
  • the diesel fuel dosing unit is cooled for a predetermined time, e.g. about 30 minutes, by said diesel fuel in the same way as during ordinary operation.

  • the method may comprise the step of continuously cooling said dosing unit by means of a flow of said fuel. Combined continuous cooling of the dosing unit by said fuel and dosing of warmed fuel from the dosing unit into the exhaust duct results in positive synergy effects leading to improved cooling of the dosing unit, particularly after the engine of the HC dosing system has been switched off.
  • the method may comprise the step of intermittently removing fuel from said dosing unit by supplying it to said exhaust duct. Intermittently removing fuel makes it possible for heat transfer between the dosing unit and the fuel to be allowed in controlled forms. An energy value of the fuel may thus be raised. At suitable times at least part of the dosing unit's warmed fuel may be dosed into the exhaust duct of the HC dosing system.
  • the amount of fuel removed needs to be limited so that too much fuel is not supplied to the exhaust duct.
  • the exhaust duct will be warmed and help to vaporise the amount of fuel removed, for use in conventional ways.
  • Said undesired temperature level may be within a predetermined range, e.g. 80-130 degrees Celsius.
  • a suitable value for said undesired temperature level may be chosen on the basis of characteristics of the respective fuel.
  • the method may comprise the step of continuously determining a prevailing temperature of the dosing unit in order to continuously determine whether there is an undesired temperature level of a dosing unit.
  • the method may comprise the step of calculating an amount of warmed fuel which is removable on the basis of a prevailing temperature of the dosing unit. This makes it possible for an optimised amount of fuel to be removed from the dosing unit into the exhaust duct.
  • the calculated amount of fuel may be dosed at a determined suitable time.
  • the calculated amount of fuel may be dosed intermittently in a suitable way.
  • the method may comprise the step of removing a predetermined amount of fuel from said dosing unit.
  • the predetermined amount of fuel may be substantially all of the dosing unit's available warmed fuel. This step has the advantage of being a variant which involves less calculation capacity.
  • the method may comprise the step of removing fuel from said dosing unit by existing pressurisation of the fuel in the dosing unit.

In certain cases it is advantageous to use both the measured temperature T1 and at least one of the estimated prevailing temperatures T1est and T2est for determining a highest temperature value Tmax as below, resulting in a more robust method.

  • Step s340 comprises also the step of determining whether there is an undesired temperature level of the dosing unit, in cases where the dosing unit 250 is adapted to supplying fuel to an exhaust duct.
