Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vehicle air purification device, and more particularly to a vehicle air purification device capable of purifying ozone in the atmosphere.
- Ozone which is the cause of photochemical smog
- Ozone is generated by the photochemical reaction of HC and NOx contained in the exhaust gas of automobiles and factories. For this reason, suppressing the emission amount of HC and NOx from the automobile is an effective means for suppressing the generation of ozone and preventing the generation of photochemical smog.
- Patent Document 1 discloses such a DOR system in which a metal oxide such as manganese dioxide is supported on a vehicle component such as a radiator.
- the radiator is installed at a location where the vehicle comes into contact with the atmosphere when the vehicle travels.
- Manganese dioxide has a function of converting ozone contained in the atmosphere into another substance such as oxygen and purifying it. Therefore, according to the DOR system of Patent Document 1, ozone in the atmosphere can be directly purified while the vehicle is traveling.
- Patent Document 2 discloses that a shutter that is opened and closed by an actuator is provided on the front surface of a radiator, and the shutter is closed by controlling the actuator when the cooling water temperature of the internal combustion engine is low.
- the atmospheric temperature is low, such as in a cold region, an increase in the cooling water temperature is hindered. Therefore, if the shutter is closed in such a case, the heating effect can be improved and the warm-up time can be shortened.
- Activated carbon is promising as a substitute for metal oxides because it has an ozone purifying ability comparable to metal oxides and is available at low cost. Since activated carbon can purify ozone in a room temperature (25 ° C.) region, it is more advantageous than a metal oxide that requires a purification temperature higher than room temperature.
- activated carbon is used as an ozone purifier, there is a problem that its ozone purifying function is likely to deteriorate.
- FIG. 9 is a graph showing the change over time in the ozone purification rate (%) of the activated carbon.
- the solid line in FIG. 9 corresponds to the ozone purification rate of the activated carbon, and the broken line in the figure corresponds to the ozone purification rate of the comparative manganese dioxide.
- activated carbon in the initial stage, activated carbon exhibits an ozone purification rate comparable to that of manganese dioxide.
- the ozone purification rate of the activated carbon begins to fall below the ozone purification rate of manganese dioxide with the lapse of the endurance time, and decreases to half that amount after a long time.
- the ozone purification function of activated carbon is likely to deteriorate mainly due to its own ozone purification function. That is, when activated carbon decomposes ozone, active oxygen may be generated in addition to oxygen. Since this active oxygen has a stronger oxidizing power than ozone, it reacts easily with activated carbon and oxidizes them. Therefore, if the activated carbon is simply applied to the DOR system, the vehicle components carrying these activated carbons must be frequently replaced, so that the practicality is lacking.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a DOR system that suppresses deterioration of the purification function of an ozone purifier.
- a first invention is a vehicle air purification apparatus, Vehicle components arranged at locations where an air flow path is formed when the vehicle is running; Provided in the vehicle component, an ozone purifier containing activated carbon; Inflowing air amount control means for controlling the amount of air flowing into the ozone purifier, When the environmental condition surrounding the traveling vehicle is in the deterioration progress determination area of the ozone purifier, the amount of air flowing into the ozone purifier is smaller than when the environmental condition is outside the deterioration progress determination area. Control means for controlling the inflow air amount control means, It is characterized by providing.
- the second invention is the first invention, wherein
- the deterioration progress determination area is a speed area where the speed of the atmosphere passing through the ozone purifier is lower than a set speed.
- the third invention is the second invention, wherein
- the vehicle component is a radiator;
- the set speed is determined by an operating voltage of a radiator fan that cools the radiator and a vehicle speed.
- the fourth invention is the invention according to any one of the first to third inventions,
- the vehicle component is a radiator;
- the inflowing air amount control means is a grille shutter that changes the air flowable area of the bumper grill by opening and closing.
- the environmental condition surrounding the traveling vehicle when the environmental condition surrounding the traveling vehicle is in the ozone purification body deterioration progress determination area, it flows into the ozone purification body as compared to when the ozone purification body is outside the deterioration progress determination area. Since the inflowing air amount control means is controlled so as to reduce the amount of air, it is possible to avoid an environmental condition in which the ozone purification function of the ozone purifier tends to deteriorate. Therefore, since the progress of the deterioration of the ozone purification function of the ozone purification body can be suppressed, the life of the vehicle component can be extended.
- the ozone purifier when the velocity of the atmosphere passing through the ozone purifier is in the speed region where the velocity is lower than the set speed, the ozone purifier is compared to the case where the ozone purifier is outside the deterioration progress determination region.
- the inflowing air amount control means can be controlled so that the amount of air flowing into the airflow decreases.
- the speed of the atmosphere that passes through the ozone purifier correlates with the deterioration of its ozone purifying function. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to satisfactorily suppress the progress of deterioration of the ozone purification function of the ozone purifier.
- the set speed can be determined based on the operating voltage of the radiator fan and the vehicle speed.
- the amount of air flowing into the ozone purifier can be controlled by the grill shutter.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a vehicle 10 to which an air purification device of an embodiment is applied.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the grill shutter 22. It is data which shows the result of an ozone purification endurance test. It is the figure which showed the relationship between the wind speed of the gas which passes a radiator, and a gas contact probability. It is the figure which showed the change of the differential pore volume (cm ⁇ 3 > / g) of activated carbon before and behind an ozone purification durability test. It is the figure which showed the relationship between the deterioration coefficient of activated carbon, and a vehicle speed.
- 4 is a flowchart illustrating passing air amount control executed by the ECU 30 in the embodiment.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a vehicle equipped with the air purification device of the present embodiment.
- the vehicle 10 includes an engine 12 as a power device.
- the exhaust gas discharged from the engine 12 includes HC and NOx.
- Ozone is generated by a photochemical reaction using HC or NOx as a reactant. Therefore, by mounting the air purification device on the vehicle 10 including the engine 12 and purifying ozone in the air while the vehicle 10 is traveling, the influence of the vehicle 10 on the environment can be reduced.
- a radiator 14 that cools cooling water circulated through the engine 12 is disposed in front of the engine 12.
- the core of the radiator 14 is provided with fins (not shown), and the fins are coated with activated carbon as an ozone purifier.
- a condenser 16 for an air conditioner is attached in front of the radiator 14.
- a radiator fan 18 is attached to the back side of the radiator 14.
- the air purification device of the present embodiment includes an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 30 as a control device.
- the radiator fan 18 and the grille shutter 22 described above are connected to the output side of the ECU 30.
- a vehicle speed sensor 24 that detects the speed of the vehicle 10 (hereinafter simply referred to as “vehicle speed”)
- a water temperature sensor 26 that detects the cooling water temperature of the engine 12, and the amount of air drawn into the engine 12.
- An air flow meter 28 to be detected is connected.
- the ECU 30 can control various actuators such as the radiator fan 18 and the grille shutter 22 based on sensor signals from the vehicle speed sensor 24 and the like.
- FIG. 2 two drawings on the left side are front views of the bumper grill 20, and two drawings on the right side are side sectional views of the vehicle 10 corresponding to the respective front views.
- the grill shutter 22 is opened when the engine 12 is stopped, and is closed by a command from the ECU 30 after the engine is started, thereby closing the opening of the bumper grill 20.
- the opening 20a of the bumper grill 20 is almost fully closed. Therefore, the air taken in from the opening 20a flows into the inside only from the region 14a above the radiator 14.
- the grill shutter 22 is closed as shown in FIG. 5B, the opening 20a is semi-closed. Therefore, the air taken in from the opening 20 a of the bumper grill 20 flows into the inside from the upper half region 14 b of the radiator 14. If the grille shutter 22 is closed in this manner, the amount of air flowing into the radiator 14 can be controlled while satisfying the cooling requirement of the radiator 14 to some extent.
- FIG. 3 is data showing the results of an ozone purification endurance test.
- the horizontal axis in FIG. 3 represents the endurance distance (kilomile), and the vertical axis represents the relative value based on the ozone purification rate in the initial state (when the endurance distance is 0 kilomile).
- Each data shown in FIG. 3 is prepared by preparing two activated carbons having the same size and specific surface area, and moving ozone-containing gas at a constant concentration from the front to the rear of the two activated carbons at different speeds (wind speed 1 m / s and wind speed 10 m / s), and obtained by measuring the ozone concentration behind the activated carbon, respectively.
- the ozone purification rate of the activated carbon decreases as the endurance distance increases. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the degree of decrease in the ozone purification rate of the activated carbon varies depending on the wind speed of the ozone-containing gas to be passed. Specifically, when the ozone-containing gas is passed at a wind speed of 1 m / s, the ozone purification rate is reduced to about half of the initial state at about 30 km, but when the ozone-containing gas is passed at a wind speed of 10 m / s. Even about 30 km, it shows about 70% or more of the initial state, and finally decreases to about half of the initial state around 60 km. That is, the degree of decrease in the ozone purification rate is smaller when passing at a high speed (wind speed of 10 m / s) than when passing at a low speed (wind speed of 1 m / s).
- FIG. 4 is a graph showing the relationship between the wind speed of the gas passing through the radiator and the probability that the gas contacts the radiator (hereinafter referred to as “gas contact probability”). This graph was calculated by applying the Gormley-Kennedy diffusion theory formula to the aluminum honeycomb radiator model. As shown in FIG. 4, the gas contact probability is about 100% when the wind speed is around 1 m / s, and the gas contact probability is about 10% when the wind speed is around 10 m / s. That is, the gas contact probability is high when the wind speed is low, and gradually decreases as the wind speed increases.
- the present inventors speculate that the above-described correlation between the ozone purification rate and the gas contact probability is due to the ozone decomposition mechanism of the activated carbon and the temporal change in the internal structure of the activated carbon.
- the ozonolysis mechanism of activated carbon will be described.
- Activated carbon has countless pores formed from the surface to the inside. When ozone molecules enter the pores, electrons are donated from the activated carbon, resulting in a decrease in the activation energy of the ozone decomposition reaction. , Ozone is converted to oxygen and active oxygen (O 3 ⁇ O 2 + O * ).
- FIG. 5 is a graph showing changes in the differential pore volume (cm 3 / g) of activated carbon before and after the ozone purification durability test. As shown in FIG. 5, after the durability test, the differential pore volume is greatly reduced compared to before the durability test. This means that the abundance ratio of the pores is reduced in the activated carbon. This result supports that the deterioration of the ozone purification function of the activated carbon has progressed as a result of the various substances and active oxygen in the atmosphere entering the pores of the activated carbon.
- FIG. 6 is a graph showing the relationship between the deterioration coefficient of activated carbon and the vehicle speed.
- the deterioration coefficient of the activated carbon is a parameter representing the ease of deterioration of the ozone purification function of the activated carbon, and it means that the larger the deterioration coefficient is, the more environmental conditions are likely to deteriorate the ozone purification function of the activated carbon.
- the grille shutter 22 is fully opened when the vehicle speed is higher than the speed A shown in FIG. 6, and the grille shutter 22 is shown in FIG.
- the closed state shown is assumed.
- the ozone purification rate of the activated carbon has a correlation with the gas contact probability, and the gas contact probability has a correlation with the wind speed of the gas passing through the radiator. Further, the wind speed of the gas passing through the radiator has a correlation with the vehicle speed. Therefore, the ozone purification rate of the activated carbon has a correlation with the vehicle speed, and the deterioration coefficient of the activated carbon basically increases as the vehicle speed decreases. In the region where the vehicle speed is slower than the speed B in FIG.
- the possibility that the ozone purification function of the activated carbon is lost is very high, and the deterioration coefficient in this region is a constant value (upper limit value). If the inflowing air amount control with the speed A in FIG. 6 as a threshold value is executed, ozone purification that avoids a speed region in which the ozone purification function of the activated carbon is likely to deteriorate can be performed, and the progress of the deterioration can be satisfactorily suppressed.
- FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing inflow air amount control executed by the ECU 30 in the present embodiment. Note that the routine shown in FIG. 7 is periodically and repeatedly executed after the engine 12 is started. Further, it is assumed that the grill shutter 22 is fully opened before the engine 12 is started.
- the ECU 30 determines whether or not the coolant temperature of the engine 12 is lower than the threshold value a (step 100). Specifically, the ECU 30 acquires the detection value of the water temperature sensor 26 and compares the detection value with the threshold value a.
- the threshold value a a value stored in advance in the ECU 30 as an upper limit value of the cooling water temperature of the engine 12 in consideration of the area of the grill shutter 22 is used. The reason for using such a threshold value a is to prevent the cooling of the engine 12 from becoming insufficient due to the execution of the inflow air amount control. Therefore, when it is determined in step 100 that the cooling water temperature is equal to or higher than the threshold value a, the ECU 30 ends this routine in order to give priority to the cooling request for the engine 12.
- the ECU 30 determines whether or not the vehicle speed is between the threshold value b and the threshold value c (step 110). Specifically, the ECU 30 acquires the detection value of the vehicle speed sensor 24 and compares the detection value with the threshold values b and c.
- the threshold value b a value corresponding to the speed A in FIG. 6 and stored in advance in the ECU 30 is used.
- the threshold value c a value stored in advance in the ECU 30 as the upper limit value of the vehicle speed is used. The reason why such a threshold value c is used is that the gas contact probability is sufficiently small in a high speed range than the threshold value c.
- step 110 If it is determined in step 110 that the vehicle speed is between the threshold value b and the threshold value c, the ECU 30 controls the grill shutter 22 so as to maintain the fully open state (step 120). On the other hand, when it is determined in step 110 that the vehicle speed is not between the threshold value b and the threshold value c, the ECU 30 closes the grill shutter 22 as shown in FIG. 2A (step 120). Thereby, when the vehicle speed is equal to or lower than the threshold value b, it is possible to reduce the amount of air flowing into the activated carbon and prevent the ozone purification function from being lost. Further, when the vehicle speed is equal to or higher than the threshold value c, it is possible to improve the fuel consumption of the engine 12 in addition to ozone purification.
- the grill shutter 22 is closed when it is determined that the coolant temperature is lower than the threshold value a and the vehicle speed is determined to be equal to or lower than the threshold value b. Ozone purification that avoids a speed region in which the purification function tends to deteriorate can be achieved.
- the routine process is terminated when the cooling water temperature is determined to be equal to or higher than the threshold value a, so that it is avoided that the cooling of the engine 12 becomes insufficient due to the execution of the inflow air amount control.
- the above-described effects can be exhibited.
- the fins of the radiator 14 are coated with activated carbon, but together with activated carbon, simple metals such as manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, platinum or gold, these
- a metal complex or organometallic complex having a single metal as a central metal, or zeolite may be coated.
- These single metals, metal complexes, organometallic complexes, and zeolites may be coated in two or more types at the same time.
- the grille shutter 22 is in the closed state shown in FIG. 2A in a region slower than the speed A shown in FIG. 6, but this closed state can be changed.
- the closed state shown in FIG. 2B can be set in a region slower than the speed A shown in FIG.
- Such a change in the closed state can be appropriately changed in consideration of the area of the opening 20a and the area of the grille shutter 22.
- the switching of the open / close state of the grill shutter 22 may not be uniform, and for example, the grill shutter 22 may be operated according to the vehicle speed. That is, as long as the opening / closing state of the grille shutter 22 is changed with the speed A shown in FIG. 6 as a boundary, it can be applied as a modification of the present embodiment.
- the threshold value based on the vehicle speed (specifically, the speed A in FIG. 6) is set, but it is also possible to set a threshold value using a factor other than the vehicle speed.
- FIG. 8 is a graph showing the relationship between the operating voltage (V) and vehicle speed (km / h) of the radiator fan and the gas passing wind speed (m / s). The characteristic curves in FIG. 8 are created from the detection values of the wind speed sensors installed in front of the condenser of the air conditioner and behind the radiator, respectively. As shown in FIG. 8, the faster the vehicle speed, the faster the gas passing wind speed.
- the radiator fan 18 of this embodiment since the magnitude relationship of the operating voltage of the radiator fan is V 1 ⁇ V 2 ⁇ V 3 , the gas passing wind speed increases as the operating voltage of the radiator fan increases at the same vehicle speed. This is because, in general, the operating voltage of the radiator fan is determined separately in the ECU in response to a cooling request for the engine. Therefore, when the radiator fan 18 of this embodiment is such, a threshold value based on the wind speed (that is, the vehicle speed + the operating voltage of the radiator fan) can be set. For example, a threshold value (threshold value d) based on the wind speed in front of the capacitor 16 is set. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the threshold value d corresponds to the case of the operating voltage V 1 and the vehicle speed A 2 and the case of the operating voltage V 2 and the vehicle speed A 1 . Therefore, in these cases, the open / close state of the grill shutter 22 may be switched.
- a threshold value based on the wind speed that is, the vehicle speed + the operating voltage of the radiator fan
- the concentration of SOx, NOx, COx, and PM in the atmosphere may be used as a factor other than the vehicle speed. These concentrations are factors that directly affect the progress of deterioration of the activated carbon's ozone purification function, so if taken into account when setting the threshold value, the progress of deterioration of the activated carbon's ozone purification function can be accurately controlled. It becomes. These concentrations may be obtained directly by providing a dedicated detection sensor in the vehicle 10 or may be estimated based on detection values of the vehicle speed sensor 24 and the air flow meter 28.
