- JP 2010-138883 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-235516 JP2011-132919A
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to appropriately supply additives.
- An exhaust purification catalyst provided in the exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine;
- a tank for storing an additive supplied to the exhaust purification catalyst and acting as a reducing agent or an oxidizing agent in a solid or liquid state;
- a vaporizer for vaporizing the solid or liquid additive by heating;
- a supply passage that connects the tank and an exhaust passage upstream of the exhaust purification catalyst, and through which the gas additive vaporized by the vaporizer flows;
- An exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine that supplies an additive of gas vaporized by the vaporization apparatus to an exhaust passage upstream of the exhaust gas purification catalyst, A dilution device for diluting the gaseous additive with another gas in the supply passage;
- a metering device for adjusting the amount of additive supplied from the supply passage to the exhaust passage in the supply passage after being diluted by the dilution device; Is provided.
- the dilution device dilutes the additive by supplying a gas different from the additive to the gas additive.
- the dilution device dilutes the additive using, for example, exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine or air.
- the diluter dilutes the additive before the additive is supplied from the supply passage to the exhaust passage.
- concentration of the additive is lowered, so that it is easy to adjust the additive supply amount. That is, since the additive is diluted on the upstream side of the adjusting device, the volume of the additive adjusted in the metering device becomes relatively large, so that the accuracy of adjusting the supply amount can be increased. Further, since the volume of the additive is increased, the additive is easily dispersed into the exhaust after being supplied to the exhaust passage.
- an adjustment device for adjusting the temperature or pressure of the additive after being diluted by the dilution device can be provided in the supply passage upstream of the metering device.
- the adjusting device may adjust the temperature or pressure of the gas additive before being diluted, or the temperature or pressure of the gas supplied by the diluting device (hereinafter also referred to as “diluting gas”). That is, the temperature or pressure of the additive after dilution may be adjusted by adjusting the temperature or pressure of the additive or dilution gas before dilution.
- simply diluting the additive may cause the additive to condense.
- the additive since the temperature or pressure of the additive is adjusted by the adjusting device, the additive can be prevented from condensing. For example, condensation of the additive can be suppressed by increasing the temperature of the diluted additive. Moreover, even if the additive is condensed, the amount of liquid can be reduced. Thereby, an additive can be disperse
- the temperature of the additive may be increased by increasing the pressure of the additive. That is, since there is a correlation between temperature and pressure, the adjustment device only needs to adjust at least one of temperature and pressure.
- the adjusting device can adjust the temperature or pressure of the additive so that the temperature of the additive after being diluted by the diluting device is higher than the dew point temperature.
- the adjusting device adjusts the temperature of the additive after being diluted by the diluting device, and the adjusting device determines the temperature of the additive after being diluted by the diluting device as a dew point temperature.
- the pressure of the additive supplied from the supply passage to the exhaust passage may be made lower than in the case where the heat amount is lower than the threshold value.
- the fuel consumption is deteriorated.
- the temperature of the entire system is low, such as when the internal combustion engine is cold or when the outside air temperature is low, a large amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of the additive.
- the pressure of the additive supplied to the exhaust passage is lowered. That is, the amount of heat for increasing the temperature of the additive (which may be electric power or electric power) is decreased. Thereby, deterioration of a fuel consumption can be suppressed or electric power consumption can be reduced.
- it becomes easy to adjust the supply amount of an additive because the pressure of an additive becomes low.
- the threshold value here may be a value when the deterioration of fuel consumption exceeds the allowable range, or when the supplied power exceeds the allowable range. Further, for example, when the temperature of the heating medium that heats the solid or liquid additive in the tank is equal to or lower than the threshold value, the pressure of the additive may be lowered. Furthermore, the pressure of the additive may be lowered when the amount of increase in the temperature of the additive is equal to or greater than the threshold.
- the additive can be properly supplied.

- hydrogen peroxide can also be used as the oxidizing agent.
- the catalyst 4 corresponds to the exhaust purification catalyst in the present invention.
- the catalyst 4 is a selective reduction type NOx catalyst, and the additive supplied from the injection valve 3 is gaseous ammonia as a reducing agent. Then, gaseous ammonia injected from the injection valve 3 is adsorbed on the catalyst 4. This ammonia selectively reduces NOx. Then, ammonia is supplied to the catalyst 4 or adsorbed in advance, and the NOx is reduced when NOx passes through the catalyst 4.
- a supply passage 31 is connected to the injection valve 3.
- the other end of the supply passage 31 is connected to a storage tank 32 that stores a solid or liquid reducing agent.
- the storage tank 32 is provided with a vaporizer 38.
- a cooling water passage 39 of the internal combustion engine 1 is connected to the vaporizer 38, and the cooling water of the internal combustion engine 1 is circulated. And the temperature of a reducing agent rises by exchanging heat with the cooling water of the internal combustion engine 1. Thereby, a solid or liquid reducing agent changes into gas. Then, the gaseous reducing agent flows out into the supply passage 31.
- the cooling water passage 39 is provided with an adjustment valve 40 for adjusting the flow rate of the cooling water.
- the storage tank 32 corresponds to the tank in the present invention.
- the supply passage 31 includes a sub tank 33, a pressure regulating valve 34, a dilution device 5, a mixing pipe 35, and a heating device 36 in order from the storage tank 32 side.

- the sub tank 33 is provided with a heater 37 and can heat and pressurize a gaseous reducing agent.
- the pressure regulating valve 34 adjusts the pressure of the gaseous reducing agent supplied from the storage tank 32 and the auxiliary tank 33. Moreover, the back flow of the reducing agent can be prevented by closing the pressure regulating valve 34. Note that the sub tank 33 and the pressure regulating valve 34 may be omitted.
- the dilution device 5 is a device that supplies a gas (dilution gas) for diluting the gaseous reducing agent.
- the dilution apparatus 5 includes a pump 51 that discharges air and a dilution gas supply pipe 52 that connects an outlet of the pump 51 to the supply passage 31.
- the dilution gas supply pipe 52 is connected to the supply passage 31 between the pressure regulating valve 34 and the mixing pipe 35.

- the exhaust from the fuel cell is easy to use because the contained components are limited.
- the moisture may be supplied after being removed.
- the mixing tube 35 promotes the mixing of the reducing agent and the dilution gas.
- the mixing pipe 35 is a part of the supply passage 31 and has a larger cross-sectional area than the upstream side and the downstream side thereof.
- the mixing tube 35 is provided with a pressure sensor 11 for detecting pressure, a temperature sensor 12 for detecting temperature, and an ammonia sensor 13 for detecting the concentration of ammonia (NH 3 ).
- the dilution gas supply pipe 52 may be connected to the mixing pipe 35. Further, the mixing tube 35 may not be provided.
- the pressure sensor 11, the temperature sensor 12, and the ammonia sensor 13 are directly attached to the supply passage 31 on the downstream side of the diluting device 5.
- a throttle may be provided in the middle of the dilution gas supply pipe 52, and the reducing agent may be supplied into the dilution gas using the venturi effect.
- the heating device 36 is an electric heater provided around the supply passage 31, for example. By supplying electric power to the heating device 36, the mixed gas of the reducing agent and the dilution gas is heated.
- the heating device 36 corresponds to the adjusting device in the present invention.
- the internal combustion engine 1 configured as described above is provided with an ECU 10 that is an electronic control unit for controlling the internal combustion engine 1.
- the ECU 10 controls the internal combustion engine 1 in accordance with the operating conditions of the internal combustion engine 1 and the driver's request.
- a pressure sensor 11, a temperature sensor 12, and an ammonia sensor 13 are connected to the ECU 10 through electric wiring, and output signals of these sensors are input to the ECU 10.
- the injection valve 3, the pressure regulating valve 34, the heating device 36, the heater 37, the adjustment valve 40, and the pump 51 are connected to the ECU 10 through electric wiring, and the ECU 10 controls these devices.
- the ECU 10 may feedback control the amount of dilution gas supplied from the diluting device 5 so that the detection value of the ammonia sensor 13 approaches the target value. Further, the amount of reducing agent supplied from the injection valve 3 to the exhaust passage 2 may be adjusted based on the detection value of the ammonia sensor 13. That is, the injection amount from the injection valve 3 may be increased as the ammonia concentration is lower. Thus, the amount of reducing agent supplied to the catalyst 4 can be more accurately controlled by adjusting the injection amount from the injection valve 3 based on the diluted ammonia concentration. Even if the dilution device 5 is abnormal and the ammonia concentration changes, the amount of reducing agent supplied can be controlled by feedback control. Furthermore, by providing the ammonia sensor 13, the ECU 10 can also detect an abnormality such as the dilution device 5.
- a highly concentrated gaseous reducing agent flows out of the storage tank 32.
- the high concentration reducing agent is diluted with the dilution gas supplied from the diluting device 5 in the supply passage 31. Thereby, since the concentration of the reducing agent is lowered, it is easy to adjust the concentration of the reducing agent supplied to the catalyst 4.
- a heating device 36 is provided. That is, if the diluted reducing agent (mixed gas) is heated by the heating device 36, the temperature of the mixed gas increases. Thereby, it can suppress that a reducing agent condenses.
- the dew point temperature may be obtained based on the ammonia concentration detected by the ammonia sensor 13. That is, the lower the ammonia concentration, the more difficult it is for the ammonia to condense, so the dew point temperature of ammonia decreases. Further, the dew point temperature may be obtained based on the pressure of the mixed gas. That is, when the pressure of the mixed gas is lowered, ammonia is not easily condensed, so that the dew point temperature of ammonia is lowered. These relationships may be obtained in advance and mapped.
- the reducing agent is diluted by the diluting device 5.
- concentration of a reducing agent becomes low, it can suppress that a reducing agent condenses.
- the reducing agent can be uniformly supplied to the catalyst 4.
- the temperature of the mixed gas may be made higher than the dew point temperature of the reducing agent by previously increasing the temperature of the reducing agent or dilution gas before dilution. Moreover, you may raise temperature by compressing mixed gas or dilution gas.
- FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a flow of mixed gas heating control according to the present embodiment. This routine is executed by the ECU 10 when the reducing agent is supplied.
- step S101 the temperature sensor 12 detects the temperature of the mixed gas.
- step S102 the dew point temperature of the reducing agent is calculated.
- This dew point temperature is the temperature at which the reducing agent condenses.
- the relationship between the concentration of the reducing agent in the mixed gas and the dew point temperature may be obtained in advance and mapped, and the dew point temperature may be calculated based on the reducing agent concentration in the mixed gas and the map.
- the dew point temperature when it is assumed that the reducing agent is not diluted may be obtained in advance.
- step S103 it is determined whether or not the detected value of the temperature detected in step S101 is higher than the dew point temperature calculated in step S102. That is, it is determined whether or not the reducing agent does not condense. If an affirmative determination is made in step S103, since the reducing agent does not condense, this routine is terminated. On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S103, the process proceeds to step S104.
- step S104 the heating device 36 is operated to heat the mixed gas. That is, it is difficult to condense the reducing agent.
- step S105 the temperature is detected by the temperature sensor 12. Thereafter, the process returns to step S103.
- the volume of the reducing agent can be increased by diluting the reducing agent before the reducing agent is supplied from the injection valve 3 into the exhaust gas. It can be adjusted with high accuracy. Further, the dew point temperature can be lowered by diluting the reducing agent. Therefore, it can suppress that a reducing agent condenses. Moreover, since mixed gas is heated with the heating apparatus 36, it can suppress more that a reducing agent condenses. As a result, the reducing agent can be dispersed in a wider range in the exhaust passage 2, so that the exhaust gas purification efficiency in the catalyst 4 can be increased. Moreover, since it can suppress that a liquid reducing agent adheres to a sensor etc., damage to this sensor etc. can be suppressed. Moreover, it can suppress corroding by a reducing agent adhering to another apparatus.
- Example 2 when the amount of heat (which may be electric power or electric power) required for heating the reducing agent (which may be a mixed gas) is equal to or greater than a threshold value, the injection valve 3 is more than the case where it is less than the threshold value. Reduce the pressure of the gas mixture injected from And in order to make the pressure of the mixed gas injected from the injection valve 3 low, the temperature of mixed gas is set lower than Example 1. FIG. Thereby, the temperature rise of mixed gas is suppressed and the deterioration of a fuel consumption is suppressed. Since other devices are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the relationship between the temperature of the mixed gas and the pressure.
- the higher the temperature of the mixed gas the higher the pressure of the mixed gas.
- the pressure of the mixed gas reaches the target pressure.
- This target pressure is a target value of the pressure of the mixed gas injected from the injection valve 3.
- the lower the temperature of the mixed gas before heating the larger the electric power or electric power required to increase the pressure of the mixed gas to the target pressure.
- the mixed gas passes through the heating device 36 and the power supplied to the heating device 36 is changed according to the temperature of the mixed gas, the lower the temperature of the mixed gas, the larger the supplied power.
- the lower the temperature of the mixed gas the longer the time for supplying power. The amount of power increases.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the relationship between the electric power supplied to the heating device 36 when the heating device 36 performs heating and the temperature of the mixed gas after heating.
- the solid line indicates the case where the cooling water temperature of the internal combustion engine 1 is relatively high, and the alternate long and short dash line indicates the case where the cooling water temperature of the internal combustion engine 1 is relatively low.
- the temperature of the reducing agent flowing out from the storage tank 32 is also low. Therefore, even if the same electric power as that when the cooling water temperature of the internal combustion engine 1 is relatively high is supplied. The temperature of the mixed gas after heating is lowered. For this reason, the electric power required to raise the temperature of the mixed gas to the target temperature increases as the cooling water temperature of the internal combustion engine 1 decreases. That is, when the cooling water temperature of the internal combustion engine 1 is low, the electric power required to heat the mixed gas to the required temperature and pressure increases, and the fuel efficiency may deteriorate.
- the supplied power is limited to the threshold.
- An upper limit may be provided for the supplied power.
- This threshold is a value when the electric power is at the boundary of whether or not it exceeds the allowable range.
- the threshold is electric power that can heat the reducing agent to a temperature sufficient to suppress the condensation of the reducing agent when the temperature of the internal combustion engine 1 is relatively high.
- the threshold is electric power that is not sufficient to suppress the condensation of the reducing agent when the temperature of the internal combustion engine 1 is relatively low.
- the electric power required to raise the temperature of the mixed gas to the target temperature it may be determined whether or not to limit the electric power by comparing with the threshold value. It may be determined whether to limit power based on the temperature of the gas. For example, when the coolant temperature of the internal combustion engine 1 is equal to or lower than the threshold value, or when the temperature of the mixed gas is equal to or lower than the threshold value, the supplied power is limited to the threshold value. In addition, when the amount of increase in the temperature of the mixed gas is equal to or greater than the threshold, the supply power is limited to the threshold. Thereby, the temperature and pressure of the mixed gas supplied from the injection valve 3 are reduced.
- FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a flow of mixed gas heating control according to the present embodiment. This routine is executed by the ECU 10 when the reducing agent is supplied.
- step S201 the temperature sensor 12 detects the temperature of the mixed gas. Note that the temperature of the cooling water of the internal combustion engine 1 may be detected.
- step S202 it is determined whether or not the temperature detected in step S201 is equal to or lower than a threshold value.
- the threshold value here is set as a value at which the power supplied to heat the mixed gas to the required temperature exceeds the allowable range. That is, it is set to a value when the deterioration of fuel consumption exceeds the allowable range. This value is obtained in advance by experiments or the like and stored in the ECU 10. If a positive determination is made in step S202, the process proceeds to step S203.
- step S203 the power supply is limited.
- the supplied power is set to be the threshold shown in FIG.
- the reducing agent may be condensed.
- the supplied power may be set to a value lower than the threshold value.
- the supply power set at this time may be determined based on the temperature of the cooling water of the internal combustion engine 1 or the temperature of the mixed gas.
- the threshold value may be determined according to how much priority is given to suppression of deterioration of fuel consumption and suppression of condensation of the reducing agent.
- step S202 the mixed gas is heated as in the first embodiment.
- the heating device 36 is required to heat the mixed gas.
- the power or amount of power increases.
- the energy for heating the mixed gas can be reduced by limiting the electric power or the electric energy.
- the adjustment accuracy of the supply amount of the mixed gas can be increased. For this reason, the increase in the reducing agent consumption by excessive supply of a reducing agent can be suppressed. Further, it is possible to suppress the reducing agent from passing through the catalyst 4.

を備え、前記気化装置により気化された気体の添加剤を前記排気浄化触媒よりも上流側の排気通路へ供給する内燃機関の排気浄化装置において、
前記気体の添加剤を前記供給通路において他のガスで希釈する希釈装置と、
前記供給通路から前記排気通路へ供給する添加剤の量を、前記希釈装置により希釈された後に前記供給通路において調整する調量装置と、
を備える。
図1は、本実施例に係る内燃機関の排気浄化装置の概略構成を示す図である。図1に示す内燃機関1は、ディーゼルエンジンであってもよく、ガソリンエンジンであってもよい。
本実施例では、還元剤(混合ガスとしてもよい)を加熱するために必要となる熱量(電力量または電力としてもよい)が閾値以上の場合には、閾値未満の場合よりも、噴射弁3から噴射する混合ガスの圧力を低くする。そして、噴射弁3から噴射する混合ガスの圧力を低くするために、混合ガスの温度を実施例1よりも低く設定する。これにより、混合ガスの温度の上昇を抑制して、燃費の悪化を抑制する。その他の装置などは実施例1と同じため、説明を省略する。
