In this embodiment, a method for controlling fuel temperature in a vehicle running on an electronic device is provided, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for controlling fuel temperature in a vehicle according to one embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 1, the flowchart includes the steps of:
Step S10, in response to the engine operation of the vehicle, monitoring the fuel temperature of the vehicle;
When the engine of the vehicle runs, the fuel in the engine starts to burn, and it can be understood that in the starting stage of the vehicle, the engine is in a cold starting working condition, at this time, the engine of the vehicle is difficult to start, the internal temperature is low, the heat dissipation to the outside is fast, the atomization combustion condition is bad, the fuel is easy to be atomized slowly after being sprayed out due to bad fuel atomization condition, and further the problems of carbon deposition and engine oil dilution are caused. In addition, because the fuel oil far away from the surface of the combustion chamber of the engine is insufficiently atomized, the mixed gas is unevenly distributed, so that the combustion process under the cold starting working condition of the engine is accompanied with emission of a large amount of particulate matters, the combustion cycle variation is aggravated, and the emission problem is caused.
It can be understood that the flash phenomenon of fuel is through promoting the fuel burning to can accelerate the fuel atomization, optionally, can be through controlling engine fuel burning temperature, and then the flash phenomenon is taken place to the control fuel, thereby can utilize the flash phenomenon of fuel to accelerate the fuel atomization of cold start operating mode, and then improve the inside combustion conditions of vehicle engine, reduce the interior former row of engine, the atomizing mixture of reasonable acceleration fuel simultaneously makes the inside gas misce bene of engine, and then solves emission problem.
It can be understood that the fuel oil can flash in a certain temperature range, so that the fuel oil temperature of the vehicle needs to be monitored in real time, the fuel oil temperature of the vehicle is obtained in real time, the fuel oil temperature is controlled according to actual conditions, and the fuel oil can flash under the condition of ensuring the combustion safety.
Alternatively, the temperature sensor may be disposed in the engine of the vehicle, and the temperature of the fuel may be monitored in real time by the temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor may be disposed in front of the fuel injection device in the engine of the vehicle, for example, so as to accurately monitor the temperature of the fuel in real time, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
Step S11, controlling the temperature of the fuel to be between a first threshold value and a second threshold value so as to enable the fuel to flash.
It can be understood that the flash boiling phenomenon can only occur effectively when the fuel oil is too low in temperature, the fuel oil is not combusted sufficiently, the similar boiling state cannot be achieved and bubbles are generated, the fuel oil cannot be broken into very fine oil drops through bubble bursting, and then the flash boiling phenomenon occurs, and when the fuel oil is too high in temperature, the explosion or other out-of-control risks can possibly occur due to the severe combustion of the fuel oil.
Therefore, the fuel temperature needs to be controlled in a proper temperature range, and a flash phenomenon occurs under the premise of ensuring the safe combustion of the fuel, so that the flash phenomenon of the fuel is utilized to accelerate the fuel atomization under the cold starting working condition of the vehicle, further, the combustion condition in the engine of the vehicle is improved, and the original exhaust in the engine of the engine is reduced.
The first threshold can be understood as the lower limit of the temperature of the fuel in which the flash phenomenon occurs, namely, the lowest temperature of the fuel in which the flash phenomenon effectively occurs can be ensured, the lowest temperature is lower than the lowest temperature, the flash phenomenon effectively occurs in the fuel is ensured, the second threshold can be understood as the upper limit of the temperature of the fuel in which the safe combustion is ensured, namely, the highest temperature of the fuel in which the safe combustion is ensured exceeds the highest temperature, and the risk of out of control possibly occurs severely due to the combustion of the fuel.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a fuel temperature control method in a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, a rectangular coordinate system in fig. 2 indicates a fuel temperature on a horizontal axis, and indicates a pressure value on a vertical axis, under a specific pressure, when the fuel temperature is greater than a flash critical temperature (i.e. a first threshold value), the fuel can flash, and it is understood that in theory, the fuel temperature is greater than the flash critical temperature, but in actual situations, due to environmental limitations and other factors, the minimum temperature at which the fuel can actually flash is usually greater than the flash critical temperature, i.e. when the fuel temperature is greater than the actual flash critical temperature. In fig. 2, the area where the fuel temperature is greater than the actual flash critical temperature is a flash area, the area where the fuel temperature is less than the flash critical temperature in fig. 2 is a non-flash area, and when the fuel temperature is greater than the highest temperature (i.e. the second threshold value) of the safe combustion of the fuel, the fuel combustion is intense, possibly causing a risk of control, and the area where the fuel temperature is less than the highest temperature in fig. 2 is a temperature control area. In the embodiment of the application, the temperature of the fuel oil is required to be controlled to be simultaneously in a flash boiling region and a temperature control region (namely, the temperature of the fuel oil is controlled to be between a first threshold value and a second threshold value), so that the flash boiling phenomenon of the fuel oil is ensured to occur under the premise of safe combustion.
Optionally, the control unit can be arranged in the vehicle engine, the temperature sensor in the vehicle engine can be combined to control the fuel temperature according to the fuel temperature monitored in real time, when the monitored fuel temperature is smaller than or equal to a first threshold value, the fuel temperature is controlled to rise, so that the fuel can be effectively subjected to flash boiling, and when the monitored fuel temperature is larger than or equal to a second threshold value, the fuel temperature is controlled to fall, so that the safe combustion of the fuel is ensured.
Through the steps, the fuel temperature of the vehicle is monitored in real time in response to the engine operation of the vehicle, and the fuel temperature is controlled to be between a first threshold value and a second threshold value, so that the fuel is flashed. Therefore, the temperature of the fuel in the process of the flash boiling phenomenon can be effectively controlled, the fuel is combusted fully, the technical effect of realizing the flash boiling phenomenon when the vehicle engine is started is achieved, meanwhile, the process is simple and easy to realize, the system efficiency is greatly improved, and the technical problems that NVH is easy to cause, the efficiency is lower, the cost is higher and the implementation is difficult are solved by improving the fuel injection mode, improving the fuel injection pressure and the like to promote the fuel atomization mixing in the related technology.
Optionally, in step S11, controlling the fuel temperature between the first threshold and the second threshold may include performing the steps of:
Step S110, at least one heating pipeline is opened in response to the temperature of the fuel being less than or equal to a first threshold value;
Wherein the at least one heating line comprises at least one fuel heater for heating the fuel.
The heating line is understood to be a pipe passage for heating fuel in a vehicle engine in which a plurality of heating lines may be provided, each including a fuel heater for heating fuel so as to raise the temperature of the fuel. In addition, the fuel flow rate flowing through the heating pipeline can be controlled through the switch, so that the fuel flow rate for heating is controlled, and the fuel temperature is further controlled.
When the fuel temperature is less than or equal to the first threshold value, the current fuel temperature is about to be lower than or is lower than the flash critical temperature of the fuel, the fuel temperature needs to be increased to be higher than the first threshold value, so that the flash phenomenon occurs, and the fuel is heated by opening at least one heating pipeline, namely at least one fuel heater, so that the fuel temperature is increased.
Optionally, the at least one fuel heater comprises at least one of an exhaust fuel heater, a coolant fuel heater, an engine oil fuel heater, and a fuel electric heater.
It can be understood that the heating modes of different types of fuel oil heaters on fuel oil are different, so that the heating speeds of the fuel oil are different, and in the fuel oil heater, the heating speed of the exhaust fuel oil heater is the fastest, so that the temperature of the fuel oil can be increased in a relatively minimum time, and then the engine oil fuel oil heater, the coolant fuel oil heater and the fuel oil electric heater are arranged.
Optionally, the at least one fuel heater may further include other types of fuel heaters, such as a steam fuel heater, a natural gas fuel heater, etc., where a fuel heater with high efficiency and high safety is selected, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto
Optionally, the fuel heater with higher heating speed can be selected to heat the fuel, so that the temperature of the fuel can be increased in a shorter time, the heating of the fuel is completed, the fuel flash phenomenon is promoted, the time is saved, and the efficiency is higher.
Optionally, in step S11, controlling the fuel temperature between the first threshold value and the second threshold value may further include performing the steps of:
Step S111, responding to the fuel temperature being greater than or equal to a second threshold value, and opening a bypass pipeline;
Wherein the second threshold is greater than the first threshold and the bypass line is configured to split fuel flowing through the at least one heating line.
The bypass line may be understood as a conduit path for diverting fuel in the vicinity of the heating line in the vehicle engine, and it may be understood that when fuel flows through the bypass line, it is equivalent to distributing part of the fuel originally flowing through the at least one heating line to the bypass line, at which time the amount of fuel flowing through the at least one heating line is reduced, the heated fuel is reduced, and thus the temperature of the fuel eventually collected after the at least one heating line and the bypass line is reduced.
Optionally, at least one heating pipeline and a bypass pipeline may be disposed before the temperature sensor inside the engine, the fuel is heated through the at least one heating pipeline and the bypass pipeline, the temperature of the fuel is monitored in real time according to the temperature sensor before the fuel injection device, and when the temperature sensor monitors that the temperature of the fuel is greater than or equal to a second threshold value, the bypass pipeline is opened through the control unit, so that the amount of the fuel flowing through the at least one heating pipeline is reduced, and the temperature of the fuel can be reduced.
When the fuel temperature is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the current fuel temperature is about to be higher than or higher than the highest temperature capable of ensuring the safe combustion of the fuel, and the fuel temperature needs to be reduced to enable the fuel temperature to be smaller than the second threshold, so that the safe combustion of the fuel is ensured, and the occurrence of potential safety hazards is prevented. The fuel flowing through the at least one heating line is branched off by opening the bypass line, i.e. by opening the bypass line, so that the fuel temperature is reduced.
Optionally, in step S110, opening at least one heating line may include performing the steps of:
Step S1100, adjusting the valve opening of a first electric control valve, and opening a first heating pipeline;
Wherein the first heating line comprises a first fuel heater.
The electric control valve is understood to be a valve for controlling the fuel flow of at least one heating line, by adjusting the opening of the valve, the fuel flow through at least one heating line and thus the fuel temperature can be controlled.
Optionally, the exhaust gas fuel heater may be selected as the first fuel heater, and the heating pipeline where the exhaust gas fuel heater is located is the first heating pipeline, and the electric control valve for controlling the heating pipeline where the exhaust gas fuel heater is located is the first electric control valve. And opening the first heating pipeline by adjusting the valve opening of the first electric control valve, namely controlling the fuel to flow through the first heating pipeline, and heating the fuel through a first fuel heater in the first heating pipeline.
Optionally, a coolant fuel heater, an oil fuel heater or a fuel electric heater may be selected as the first fuel heater, and the first heating pipeline and the first electric control valve are heating pipelines and electric control valves corresponding to the selected fuel heater.
And step 1101, in response to the fuel temperature being less than the second threshold, adjusting the valve opening of the second electrically controlled valve, and opening the second heating pipeline.
Wherein the second heating line comprises a second fuel heater.
After the first heating pipeline is opened, the fuel is heated by the first heater, if the temperature of the fuel heated by the first heater is smaller than the second threshold value, the fuel temperature does not exceed the highest temperature for guaranteeing safe combustion of the fuel, and the fuel temperature can be continuously increased at the moment, so that the fuel is fully combusted, and flash boiling of the fuel is caused.
Optionally, when the exhaust gas fuel heater is selected as the first fuel heater, the coolant fuel heater may be selected as the second fuel heater, and then the heating pipeline where the coolant fuel heater is located is the second heating pipeline, and the electric control valve for controlling the heating pipeline where the coolant fuel heater is located is the second electric control valve. And the second heating pipeline is opened by adjusting the valve opening of the second electric control valve, namely the fuel flow is increased, the increased fuel is controlled to flow through the second heating pipeline, and the fuel is heated through the second fuel heater at the same time, so that the temperature rise of the fuel is controlled.
Optionally, when the exhaust gas fuel heater is selected as the first fuel heater, the engine oil fuel heater or the fuel oil electric heater may be selected as the second fuel heater, and the second heating pipeline and the second electric control valve are heating pipelines and electric control valves corresponding to the selected fuel oil heater.
Optionally, in step S1100, adjusting the valve opening of the first electrically controlled valve, and opening the first heating pipe may include the following steps:
Step S1100a, adjusting the valve opening of a first electric control valve to be a first opening, and opening a first heating pipeline;
The first opening degree may be understood as the opening of the control valve for controlling the heating line and at a relatively small degree of opening, for example the opening degree of closing to half the opening, i.e. when the valve opening degree is the first opening degree, the valve is open and at a relatively small degree of opening. It will be appreciated that in order to prevent excessive fuel temperature at the initial stage of combustion, which directly results in a risk of runaway, the fuel temperature should not be excessive when the first heating line is opened, and then the adjustment and control is performed according to the monitored fuel temperature.
The valve opening of the first electric control valve is adjusted to be the first opening, namely, the first electric control valve is controlled to be opened and is in a relatively small opening degree, the first heating pipeline is opened at the moment, the first heater heats fuel, but the first electric control valve is opened and is in a relatively small opening degree at the moment, so that the fuel flow flowing through the first heating pipeline is small, the situation of out of control risk caused by overhigh temperature of the initial stage of fuel combustion can be avoided, and meanwhile, the fuel temperature can be correspondingly adjusted and controlled according to the monitored fuel temperature, so that the fuel temperature is controlled in real time according to actual conditions.
In step S1100b, the valve opening of the first electrically controlled valve is adjusted to the second opening in response to the fuel temperature being less than the second threshold.
Wherein, the fuel flow corresponding to the second opening is larger than the fuel flow corresponding to the first opening.
The second opening degree may be understood as a degree of opening of the control valve for controlling the heating line, which is relatively large, for example, a degree of opening from half to full opening, i.e. when the valve opening degree is the second opening degree, the valve is opened and is relatively large, i.e. the fuel flow corresponding to the second opening degree is larger than the fuel flow corresponding to the first opening degree.
It can be understood that after the valve opening of the first electric control valve is adjusted to be the first opening, the fuel flows through the first heating pipeline and is heated by the first fuel heater, and when the valve opening of the first electric control valve is the first opening, the fuel temperature is smaller than the second threshold value, which indicates that the fuel temperature does not exceed the highest temperature for ensuring the safe combustion of the fuel at the moment, the fuel temperature can be properly increased, so that the fuel is accelerated to be fully combusted, and the flash phenomenon occurs.
The valve opening of the first electric control valve is adjusted to be the second opening, namely the first electric control valve is controlled to be opened and is in a relatively large opening degree, and the fuel flow flowing through the first heating pipeline is large at the moment, so that the temperature rise of the fuel can be controlled by increasing the fuel flow, the fuel is accelerated to be fully combusted, and the flash boiling phenomenon occurs.
Illustratively, the valve opening of the first electrically controlled valve is adjusted to a first opening, the first heating line is opened, i.e. the control valve controlling the heating line is opened and at a relatively small degree of opening, the fuel is heated through the first heating pipeline, and the fuel flow flowing through the first heating pipeline is small because the valve opening of the first electric control valve is relatively small at the moment, so that the fuel temperature can be monitored in real time through the temperature sensor. When the fuel temperature is monitored to be smaller than the second threshold value, the fuel temperature is required to be controlled to rise, and at the moment, the valve opening of the first electric control valve is adjusted to be the second opening, namely, the valve opening of the first electric control valve is adjusted to be increased, so that the fuel flow flowing through the first heating pipeline is increased, and the fuel temperature is further increased.
Optionally, in step S111, opening the bypass line may include the following steps:
step S1110, adjusting the valve opening of the third electric control valve to be a third opening, and opening a bypass pipeline;
the third electric control valve is used for controlling the fuel flow in the bypass pipeline.
The step can be understood as that after the valve opening of the first electric control valve is adjusted and the first heating pipeline is opened, when the fuel temperature is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, the fuel temperature is about to be higher than or equal to the highest temperature capable of ensuring the safe combustion of the fuel, and the fuel temperature needs to be reduced so that the fuel temperature is smaller than the first threshold value, so that the safe combustion of the fuel is ensured, and the occurrence of potential safety hazards is prevented.
The third opening degree may be understood as a degree of opening of the third electrically controlled valve for controlling the bypass line, which is relatively large, for example half-way to full-way, i.e. when the third electrically controlled valve opening degree is the third opening degree. It can be appreciated that since the bypass line is opened for reducing the fuel temperature to prevent the occurrence of a safety hazard, the fuel temperature needs to be rapidly reduced in a short time at this time, and thus, when the bypass line is opened, the valve controlling the bypass line is adjusted to a large degree of openness to achieve rapid reduction of the fuel temperature in a short time.
And adjusting the valve opening of the third electric control valve to be the third opening, and opening the bypass pipeline, namely, splitting fuel flowing through at least one heating pipeline by opening the bypass pipeline, wherein the fuel flowing through the bypass pipeline is larger in flow rate, and splitting the at least one heating pipeline is larger in flow rate, so that the temperature of the fuel is reduced.
In step S1111, in response to the fuel temperature being less than the first threshold, the valve opening of the third electronically controlled valve is adjusted to a fourth opening.
The fuel flow corresponding to the fourth opening degree is smaller than the fuel flow corresponding to the third opening degree.
The fourth opening degree may be understood as a degree of opening of the third electrically controlled valve for controlling the bypass line and being relatively small, for example, closed to a half of the opening degree, i.e. when the third electrically controlled valve opening degree is the fourth opening degree, the third electrically controlled valve is opened and is relatively small, i.e. the fuel flow corresponding to the fourth opening degree is smaller than the fuel flow corresponding to the third opening degree.
It can be understood that, after the bypass pipeline is opened, the valve opening of the third electric control valve is adjusted to be the third opening, at this time, the valve opening of the third electric control valve is larger, the fuel flow flowing through the bypass pipeline is larger, that is, the flow division effect on at least one heating pipeline is stronger, at this time, the fuel temperature is smaller than the first threshold value, which means that the fuel temperature is lower than the flash boiling critical temperature of the fuel, and the fuel temperature needs to be raised to be larger than the first threshold value, so that the flash boiling phenomenon occurs.
And adjusting the valve opening of the third electric control valve to be a fourth opening, namely controlling the third electric control valve to be opened and to be in a relatively smaller opening degree, wherein the fuel flow flowing through the bypass pipeline is smaller. The diversion effect on at least one heating pipeline is smaller, so that the temperature rise of the fuel can be controlled by reducing the diversion fuel quantity of the fuel heater, the fuel is accelerated to fully burn, and the flash phenomenon occurs.
