Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Steuerung eines NOX-Speicherkatalysators mit den im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten Merkmalen.The invention relates to a method for controlling a NO x storage catalytic converter with the features mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
Es ist bekannt, zur Nachbehandlung von Abgasen von Verbrennungskraftmaschinen das Abgas katalytisch zu reinigen. Dazu wird das Abgas über mindestens einen Katalysator geleitet, der eine Konvertierung einer oder mehrerer Schadstoffkomponenten des Abgases zu unbedenklichen oder weniger umweltrelevanten Produkten vornimmt. Es sind unterschiedliche Arten von Katalysatoren bekannt. Oxidationskatalysatoren fördern die Oxidation von unverbrannten Kohlenwasserstoffen (HC) und Kohlenmonoxid (CO), während Reduktionskatalysatoren eine Reduzierung von Stickoxiden (NOX) des Abgases unterstützen. Ferner werden 3-Wege-Katalysatoren verwendet, um die Konvertierung der drei vorgenannten Komponenten (HC, CO, NOX) gleichzeitig zu katalysieren.It is known to catalytically clean the exhaust gas for the aftertreatment of exhaust gases from internal combustion engines. For this purpose, the exhaust gas is passed over at least one catalytic converter, which converts one or more pollutant components of the exhaust gas into harmless or less environmentally relevant products. Different types of catalysts are known. Oxidation catalysts promote the oxidation of unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO), while reduction catalysts help reduce nitrogen oxides (NO x ) in the exhaust gas. Furthermore, 3-way catalysts are used to catalyze the conversion of the three aforementioned components (HC, CO, NO X ) at the same time.
Daneben sind auch Speicherkatalysatoren, beispielsweise NOX-Speicherkatalysatoren, bekannt. Diese werden bei der Abgasreinigung von Verbrennungskraftmaschinen eingesetzt, die aus Gründen einer Verbrauchsoptimierung wenigstens zeitweise in einem mageren Betriebsmodus, das heißt mit einem sauerstoffreichen Abgas mit λ > 1, betrieben werden. Die Stickoxide NOX können unter diesen Randbedingungen mit konventionellen 3-Wege-Katalysatoren nicht vollständig zu umweltneutralem Stickstoff umgesetzt werden. Zur Abhilfe werden vorgenannte NOX-Speicherkatalysatoren in den Abgaskanälen von Verbrennungskraftmaschinen angeordnet, die in mageren Betriebsphasen NOX als Nitrat einlagern. Während einer NOX-Einlagerung in magerem Abgas tritt eine zunehmende Sättigung des NOX-Speicherkatalysators ein, so dass zunehmend Stickoxide durchbrechen. Überschreitet die kumulierte durchgebrochene NOX-Masse oder die NOX-Konzentration stromab des Speicherkatalysators oder die im Speicherkatalysator gespeicherte NOX-Masse vorgebbare Schwellwerte, so wird eine NOX-Regeneration ausgelöst. Dazu wird der Magerbetrieb (Schichtbetrieb SCH oder Homogen-Magerbetrieb HMM) des Motors zugunsten eines unterstöchiometrischen Homogenbetriebes (HOMREG) unterbrochen.Storage catalysts, for example NO x storage catalysts, are also known. These are used in the exhaust gas purification of internal combustion engines which are operated at least temporarily in a lean operating mode, that is to say with an oxygen-rich exhaust gas with λ> 1, for reasons of consumption optimization. Under these conditions, the nitrogen oxides NO X cannot be completely converted to environmentally neutral nitrogen using conventional 3-way catalysts. To remedy this, the aforementioned NO x storage catalytic converters are arranged in the exhaust gas ducts of internal combustion engines, which store NO x as nitrate in lean operating phases. During NO x storage in lean exhaust gas, the NO x storage catalytic converter becomes increasingly saturated, so that nitrogen oxides increasingly break through. Exceeds by broken cumulative NO x mass or the NOx concentration downstream of the storage catalyst or stored in the storage catalytic NO x mass predeterminable threshold values, an NO X regeneration is initiated. For this purpose, the lean operation (shift operation SCH or homogeneous lean operation HMM) of the engine is interrupted in favor of a substoichiometric homogeneous operation (HOMREG).
Jede Betriebsartenumschaltung, sowohl zwischen den beiden Magerbetriebsarten (SCH oder HMM) als auch zwischen Magerbetrieb und homogen-stöchiometrischem Betrieb (HOMST) beziehungsweise unterstöchiometrischen Homogenbetriebes (HOMREG) führt zu einer kurzen Phase des Kraftstoffmehrverbrauchs gegenüber dem eingeschwungenen Zustand in der Zielbetriebsart, unter anderem da der Luftpfad wesentlich träger auf Änderungen der Soll-Vorgabe reagiert als die schnell anpassbaren Kraftstoff- und Zündungspfade. Diese Übergangsphase dauert betriebspunktabhängig zwischen 0,2 und 3 Sekunden. Jede Betriebsartenumschaltung ist in der Übergangsphase auch mit einer gewissen Zunahme der Rohemission (HC, CO, NOX) verbunden. Zur emissionsoptimierten Fahrzeugabstimmung wird nach dem Stand der Technik für den Magerbetrieb ein fester Schwellwert, der die den NOX-Speicherkatalysator im Magerbetrieb beaufschlagenden NOX-Rohemissionen definiert, vorgegeben. Wird dieser Schwellwert überschritten, so wird HOMST-Betrieb angefordert, dem je nach Füllstand des NOX-Speicherkatalysators zunächst noch eine NOX-Regeneration (HOMREG) vorausgeht. Dieser Schwellwert ist im Stand der Technik über die gesamte NOX-Speicherphase ein Festwert. Dieses Vorgehen weist jedoch ebenfalls noch Nachteile auf, da der mit einem vorgebbaren Speicherwirkungsgrad von beispielsweise 99 % einlagerbare anströmende NOX-Massenstrom mit zunehmender NOX-Einlagerung abnimmt. Außerdem sind Wechsel während der Magerphase in eine andere Magerbetriebsart bei bereits teilbeladenem NOX-Speicherkatalysator energetisch und/oder emissionsseitig nicht sinnvoll, wenn diese anschließend nicht für einen ausreichend langen Zeitraum ohne NOX-Regeneration aufrecht gehalten werden kann. Genannte Nachteile bedingen einen höheren Kraftstoffverbrauch und eine höhere Schadstoffemission.Each mode switch, both between the two lean modes (SCH or HMM) and between lean mode and homogeneous-stoichiometric mode (HOMST) or sub-stoichiometric mode (HOMREG) leads to a short phase of increased fuel consumption compared to the steady state in the target mode, among other things because The air path reacts much more slowly to changes in the target specification than the quickly adaptable fuel and ignition paths. Depending on the operating point, this transition phase lasts between 0.2 and 3 seconds. In the transition phase, each mode changeover is also associated with a certain increase in raw emissions (HC, CO, NO X ). For emission-optimized vehicle tuning, a fixed threshold value is defined according to the state of the art for lean operation, which defines the raw NO x emissions acting on the NO x storage catalytic converter in lean operation. If this threshold value is exceeded, HOMST operation is requested, which, depending on the fill level of the NO x storage catalytic converter, is initially preceded by a NO x regeneration (HOMREG). In the prior art, this threshold value is a fixed value over the entire NO x storage phase. However, this procedure also has disadvantages, since the inflowing NO x mass flow that can be stored with a predefinable storage efficiency of, for example, 99%, decreases with increasing NO x storage. In addition, changes during the lean phase to another lean operating mode in the case of a partially loaded NO x storage catalytic converter are not sensible in terms of energy and / or emissions if the latter cannot subsequently be maintained for a sufficiently long period without NO x regeneration. The disadvantages mentioned result in higher fuel consumption and higher pollutant emissions.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Steuerung eines NOX-Speicherkatalysators zu schaffen, bei dem während einer Magerbetriebsphase ein Wechsel in eine andere Magerbetriebsart (HMMI→SCH oder SCH→HMM) nur zugelassen wird, wenn diese anschließend für einen ausreichend langen Zeitraum ohne NOX-Regeneration aufrecht gehalten werden kann, so dass sich hinsichtlich des Kraftstoffverbrauchs und der Schadstoffemissionen keine Nachteile ergeben.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a method for controlling a NO x storage catalytic converter in which a change to another lean operating mode (HMMI → SCH or SCH → HMM) is only permitted during a lean operating phase if this is subsequently sufficient for one can be maintained for a long period of time without NO X regeneration, so that there are no disadvantages with regard to fuel consumption and pollutant emissions.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren mit den im Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmalen gelöst.This task is accomplished through a process solved with the features mentioned in claim 1.
Es ist gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren vorgesehen, dass in einer Magerbetriebsphase eine Betriebsartenumschaltung in eine andere magere Betriebsart (HMM→SCH oder SCN→HMM) von der zu erwartenden NOX-Speicherfähigkeit des NOX-Speicherkatalysators abhängig gemacht wird, wobei eine Betriebsarfenumschaltung zugunsten einer vorzeitigen NOX-Regeneration zu unterdrücken ist, wenn innerhalb des "energetischen Amortisationszeitraums" beziehungsweise eines vorgebbaren Zeitraums mit einer NOX-Regenerationsanforderung zu rechnen ist.There is provided in accordance with the methods of the invention that a mode change into another lean mode (HMM → SCH or SCN → HMM) of the expected NO X storage ability of the NO X storing catalyst is made dependent in a lean operating phase, wherein a Betriebsarfenumschaltung in favor of a premature NO x regeneration is to be suppressed if a NO x regeneration request is to be expected within the "energetic amortization period" or a predefinable period.
Nach einer ersten Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist Folgendes vorgesehen:
- – Zuerst wird die im NOX-Speicherkatalysator gespeicherte NOX-Masse und/oder die kumulierte durchbrochene NOX-Masse und/oder die NOX-Konzentration stromab des Speicherkatalysators ermittelt. Dies kann in bekannter Weise erfolgen, vorzugsweise mittels eines dem Speicherkatalysator nachgeschalteten NOX-Sensors.
- – Anschließend erfolgt eine Anforderung zum Betriebsartenwechsel.
- – Auf diese Anforderung hin wird zunächst der NOX-Massenstrom vor dem Speicherkatalysator in der Zielbetriebsart in geeigneter Weise ermittelt. Üblicherweise erfolgt dies durch in einem Motorsteuergerät abgelegte Modelle.
- – Dann wird anhand der im ersten Schritt ermittelten Daten und einem Kriterium zur Bewertung der Speichereffizienz des NOX-Speicherkatalysators nach Umschaltung in die Zielbetriebsart die voraussichtliche Restdauer der Magerphase in der Zielbetriebsart bis zur Auslösung einer NOX-Regeneration berechnet.
- – Das Kriterium zur Bewertung der Speichereffizienz kann aus einem im Prinzip bekannten NOX-Speichermodell bestehen. Dieses weist zumindest eine der folgenden Eingangsgrößen auf:
- – NOX-Massenstrom vor Speicherkatalysator
- – NOX-Konzentration vor Speicherkatalysator
- – Abgasmassenstrom
- – Katalysatortemperatur
- – Katalysatorvolumen
- – geometrische Oberfläche
- – edelmetall- und NOX-speichermaterialabhängige Konvertierungsbeziehungsweise Einlagerungsraten
- - First, the ge in the NO x storage catalyst stored NO x mass and / or the accumulated broken NO x mass and / or the NO x concentration downstream of the storage catalytic converter. This can be done in a known manner, preferably by means of a NO x sensor connected downstream of the storage catalytic converter.
- - Then there is a request to change the operating mode.
- - In response to this requirement, the NO x mass flow upstream of the storage catalytic converter is first determined in a suitable manner in the target operating mode. This is usually done by models stored in an engine control unit.
- - Then, based on the data determined in the first step and a criterion for evaluating the storage efficiency of the NO x storage catalytic converter after switching to the target operating mode, the expected remaining duration of the lean phase in the target operating mode until a NO x regeneration is triggered.
- - The criterion for evaluating the storage efficiency can consist of a known NO x storage model. This has at least one of the following input variables:
- - NO X mass flow in front of the storage catalytic converter
- - NO x concentration in front of the storage catalytic converter
- - Exhaust gas mass flow
- - catalyst temperature
- - catalyst volume
- - geometric surface
- - Conversion or storage rates depending on precious metal and NO X storage material
Ferner können weitere nicht genannte Größen in dieses Modell eingehen.Furthermore, others not mentioned Sizes in this Model.
Ausgangsgröße des NOX-Speichermodells ist zumindest der Speicherwirkungsgrad, basierend auf der bereits gespeicherten NOX-Masse und/oder der Katalysatortemperatur und/oder dem Abgasmassenstrom und/oder dem NOX-Massenstrom vor Speicherkatalysator.
- – Nach Ermittlung der Restdauer erfolgt eine Abfrage, ob die Restdauer der Magerbetriebsphase unterhalb eines betriebspunktabhängig vorgebbaren Schwellwerts liegt.
- – Liegt die Restdauer der Magerbetriebsphase unterhalb des Schwellwerts, so wird die magere Zielbetriebsart zugunsten einer vorzeitigen NOX-Regenerationsauslösung unterdrückt und die NOX-Regeneration angefordert.
- – Liegt die Restdauer der Magerbetriebsphase oberhalb des Schwellwerts, so wird die magere Zielbetriebsart zugelassen.
- - After determining the remaining duration, a query is made as to whether the remaining duration of the lean operating phase is below a threshold value which can be predetermined depending on the operating point.
- - If the remaining duration of the lean operating phase is below the threshold value, the lean target operating mode is suppressed in favor of premature NO x regeneration triggering and the NO x regeneration is requested.
- - If the remaining duration of the lean operating phase is above the threshold value, the lean target operating mode is permitted.
Alternativ kann das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren auch wie folgt modifiziert sein:
- – Die ersten beiden Schritte der vorgenannten Verfahrensvariante bleiben erhalten.
- – Anschließend wird direkt abgefragt, ob vorgebbare Schwellwerte für die gespeicherte NOX-Masse und/oder die kumulierte durchgebrochene NOX-Masse und/oder die NOX-Konzentration stromab des Speicherkatalysators überschritten sind.
- – Sind die Schwellwerte zur Auslösung einer regulären Regeneration nahezu, zu mindestens 80 %, optimal mindestens 90 %, ideal mindestens 95 %, erreicht, wodurch Schwellwerte für eine vorzeitige NOX-Regeneration gegeben sind, so ist nach Umschaltung in die Zielbetriebsart mit einer so kurzzeitig folgenden NOX-Regeneration zu rechnen, dass eine Umschaltung aus energetischen Gründen nicht sinnvoll ist. Es wird daher bei zumindest einem überschrittenen Schwellwert eine vorzeitige NOX-Regeneration angefordert.
- – Bei Unterschreiten aller Schwellwerte für eine vorzeitige NOX-Regeneration wird die Zielbetriebsart zugelassen.
- - The first two steps of the aforementioned method variant are retained.
- - Then it is queried directly whether predeterminable threshold values for the stored NO x mass and / or the accumulated broken through NO x mass and / or the NO x concentration downstream of the storage catalytic converter have been exceeded.
- - If the threshold values for triggering a regular regeneration are almost, at least 80%, optimally at least 90%, ideally at least 95%, which results in threshold values for premature NO X regeneration, then after switching to the target operating mode, such a shortly following NO X regeneration that a switchover does not make sense for energy reasons. If at least one threshold value is exceeded, premature NO x regeneration is therefore requested.
- - If all the threshold values for an early NO X regeneration are undershot, the target operating mode is permitted.
Vorteil dieser Verfahrensvariante ist der deutlich reduzierte Rechenaufwand, da insbesondere auf das aufwendige Speichermodell verzichtet werden kann.Advantage of this process variant is the significantly reduced computational effort, because in particular on the elaborate memory model can be dispensed with.
Eine weitere Alternative des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens weist folgende Schritte auf:
- – Die ersten drei Schritte der zuerst beschriebenen Verfahrensvariante bleiben erhalten.
- – Der im dritten Schritt ermittelte NOX-Massenstrom vor dem Speicherkatalysator in der Zielbetriebsarf wird mit zumindest einem Faktor korreliert, der mit vorgegebenen Schwellwerten für die reguläre Auslösung der NOX-Regeneration multipliziert wird. Diese Werte stellen die Schwellwerte für eine vorzeitige NOX-Regeneration dar.
- – In einer nachfolgenden Abfrage wird geprüft, ob zumindest einer der Schwellwerte für eine vorzeitige NOX-Regeneration überschritten wurde. Ist dies erfolgt, wird eine vorzeitige NOX-Regeneration angefordert und die Betriebsartenumschaltung unterdrückt.
- – Bei Unterschreiten aller Schwellwerte für eine vorzeitige NOx Regeneration wird die Zielbetriebsart zugelassen.
- - The first three steps of the process variant described first are retained.
- - The NO X mass flow determined in the third step upstream of the storage catalytic converter in the target operating mode is correlated with at least one factor which is multiplied by predetermined threshold values for the regular triggering of the NO X regeneration. These values represent the threshold values for premature NO X regeneration.
- - In a subsequent query, it is checked whether at least one of the threshold values for premature NO X regeneration has been exceeded. If this has taken place, an early NO X regeneration is requested and the mode change is suppressed.
- - If the threshold values for premature NOx regeneration are undershot, the target operating mode is permitted.
Der Vorteil der dritten Variante des Verfahrens gegenüber der zweiten besteht in der präziseren Anpassung der Unterdrückung der Umschaltung in die Zielbetriebsarf bei nur wenig höherem Rechenaufwand.The advantage of the third variant of the procedure the second is more precise adjustment of oppression switching to the target operating mode with only a little higher computing effort.
Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird vorfeilhafterweise erreicht, dass Betriebartenumschaltungen von einer mageren in eine andere magere Betriebsart nur zugelassen werden, wenn dies unter Gesichtspunkten des Verbrauchs und der Emission tatsächlich sinnvoll ist.With the method according to the invention is advantageously achieved that operating modes switch from a lean to another lean mode of operation only allowed if this is in terms of consumption and emissions indeed makes sense.
Weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den übrigen, in den Unteransprüchen genannten Merkmalen.Further preferred configurations the invention result from the remaining, mentioned in the subclaims Features.
