Definitions
- the invention relates to the operation of a NOx storage catalytic converter in internal combustion engines which are operated with a lean fuel / air mixture.
- internal combustion engines are lean-burn gasoline engines or diesel engines.
- NOx storage catalytic converters are used for exhaust gas aftertreatment, which store the nitrogen oxides emitted during lean engine operation in an initial operating phase, the length of which is of the order of minutes. In a second, shorter operating phase, the length of which is in the range of seconds, the storage is emptied by supplying exhaust gas with reducing agent to the storage catalytic converter.
- the storage capacity of the NOx catalytic converter depends on the load and is continuously decreasing. If the first phase takes too long, undesirable nitrogen oxide emissions occur. A second phase that is too long results in increased HC and CO emissions. There is therefore the problem of making the change between the two phases in such a way that neither increased NOx nor HC and CO emissions occur.
- Degree of filling is reached, the system switches from the first phase to the second phase.
- the degree of filling, which decreases in the second phase, is also modeled or the second phase is ended when an exhaust gas probe behind the storage catalytic converter signals complete regeneration.
- Modeling in one or both phases requires a very high level of computational effort and therefore places high demands on the motor control.
- the storage and conversion behavior of the catalyst is changed by aging processes.
- the regeneration is preferably achieved by injecting fuel into the exhaust line before the catalytic converter.
- the transition from lean to rich and the entire regeneration phase are particularly critical, since the varying flow conditions make it difficult to meter the appropriate dosage for generating a homogeneous reductant distribution in the exhaust gas upstream of the storage catalytic converter. This appears under the changing flow conditions in the exhaust gas The transition phase cannot be modeled with reasonable effort.
- the invention relates to the problem of controlling the change between the two phases.
- An advantage of the invention lies in the substantially more uniform conditions of the regeneration phase.
- Another advantage is a significantly reduced computing effort when controlling the loading and regeneration of the catalyst.
- Another advantage is the simple possibility of checking the exhaust gas treatment system and of adapting the control strategy to a catalyst behavior caused, for example, by aging.
- Figure 1 shows the technical environment in which the invention unfolds its effect.
- Fig. 2 shows temporal profiles of different signals.
- Fig3 shows a modified
- FIG. 1 shows an internal combustion engine 1 with a NOx storage catalytic converter 2, exhaust gas probes 3 and 4, a control device 5, a fuel metering means 6, and various sensors 7, 8, 9 for load L and speed n and, if appropriate, further operating parameters of the Internal combustion engine such as temperatures, throttle valve position etc.
- the control unit forms, among other things, from the named and possibly further input signals. Fuel metering signals with which the fuel metering means 6 is controlled.
- Fuel metering means 6 can be used for a so-called intake manifold injection as well as for a
- the mixture composition can be varied by changing the injection pulse widths with which the fuel metering device is controlled.
- the core of the method according to the invention primarily relates to the control unit 5 and the exhaust gas probe 4 arranged behind the catalytic converter.
- Fig. 2 shows the change in Fig. 2a
- the rear exhaust gas probe can be used, for example, as an oxygen sensor, as a hydrocarbon sensor (HC- Sensor, as a carbon dioxide sensor (CO sensor) or as a nitrogen oxide sensor
- HC- Sensor as a carbon dioxide sensor
- CO sensor carbon dioxide sensor
- the signal from an oxygen sensor is shown, which delivers a high signal level in the case of lack of oxygen and a low signal level in the case of excess oxygen.
- the low signal level of the rear probe indicates that there is also an excess of air or oxygen behind the catalytic converter.
- the mixture composition is changed from lambda greater than one to lambda less than one, that is to say a lack of oxygen.
- the rear sensor 4 reacts to the lack of oxygen by increasing its signal from the low to the high level.
- the change in the mixture composition shown causes the internal combustion engine to emit hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide as reducing agents.
- the reducing agent can also be obtained from a storage tank 11 via a
- Control unit 5 controlled valve 12 are supplied to the exhaust gas upstream of the catalytic converter. The engine can then be operated continuously with a lean mixture.
- FIG. 3 A corresponding modification of the structure of FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. 3.
- the regeneration phase is not mathematically modeled and is therefore kept variable. Instead, each becomes
- Regeneration introduced a predetermined, constant mass of fuel in the exhaust system in front of the catalytic converter.
- the duration of the storage phase is then adapted to the regeneration phase. Mismatches are caused by an exhaust gas probe located behind the catalytic converter determined and reduced by influencing the length of the injection phase.
- the storage phase is shortened if an exhaust gas probe does not signal a sufficient change in the concentration of an exhaust gas component towards the end of the regeneration phase. If, on the other hand, such a change occurs too early, the injection phase is extended.
- the exhaust gas treatment system is checked as follows: If the injection times that occur when the method according to the invention is carried out deviate too much from plausible predefined values, there is a malfunction.
- Step 1 represents lean engine operation
- the NOx emitted by the engine in this operating phase is absorbed by the storage catalytic converter.
- the degree of filling of the storage catalytic converter is calculated in step 2 from operating parameters of the engine, as is known, for example, from DE 1 97 398 48.
- control unit triggers a regeneration of the storage catalytic converter. This is shown in steps 3 and 4.
- the predetermined mass of reducing agent can be metered from the tank 11 via the controllable valve 12 into the exhaust gas upstream of the storage catalytic converter.
- the predetermined mass of reducing agent in the exhaust gas is generated by a rich engine operation. For example, all fuel metering signals intended for normal engine operation with a lean mixture can be increased in a predetermined manner until the sum of the increases in the fuel metering signals corresponds to the desired fuel mass predetermined for the regeneration.
- step 7 extends the response Injection phase by increasing the threshold value SW-NOx.
