BESCHREIBUNGDESCRIPTION
Gerät zur kontinuierlichen fotometrischen Bestimmung von Schadstoff-Komponenten in Abgasen und/oder zur Beeinflussung von Abgastemperaturen Es sind derzeit keine auf fotometrischer Basis arbeitende Geräte bekannt, die in Großserienfertigung für die Messung von spezifischen Schadstoff-Komponenten in Abgasen, vorzugsweise von Verbrennungskraftmaschinen, geeignet wären. Die Gründe hierfür liegen im wesentlichen im hohen Preis für monochromatische Lichtquellen bestimmter Wellenlängen und in der Tatsache, daß durch Ablagerung von Abgaskomponenten (besonders Ruß) auf Lichtquelle und Meßsensor keine zuverlässigen Meßergebnisse, zumindest über längere Zeit, erzielt werden können. Es werden jedoch zunehmend preiswerte Fotodioden angeboten, die schmalbandig in diversen Wellenlängen emittieren, so daß die Frage des Preises an Bedeutung verliert.Device for the continuous photometric determination of pollutant components in exhaust gases and / or to influence exhaust gas temperatures There are currently none known working on a photometric basis, which are in mass production for the measurement of specific pollutant components in exhaust gases, preferably of Internal combustion engines would be suitable. The reasons for this are essentially in the high price for monochromatic light sources of certain wavelengths and in the fact that due to the deposition of exhaust gas components (especially soot) on the light source and measuring sensor does not achieve reliable measurement results, at least over a long period of time can be. However, there are increasingly inexpensive photodiodes offered that have a narrow band emit in various wavelengths, so that the question of price becomes less important.
Erfindunsgemäß werden Lichquelle und Sensor in Bauräumen untergebracht, in denen gegenüber dem Abgasstrom Oberdruck herrscht, so daß keine Abgaspartikel in diese Bauräume eindringen können, womit auch das Problem der Verschmutzung von Sensoren und Lichtquellen nicht mehr relevant ist.According to the invention, the light source and sensor are housed in installation spaces, in which there is overpressure in relation to the exhaust gas flow, so that no exhaust gas particles can penetrate into these installation spaces, which also the problem of contamination of Sensors and light sources is no longer relevant.
Besondere Bedeutung gewinnt die Patentanmeldung im Zusammenhang mit der überwachung der Funktion von Abgaskatalysatoren für Otto-Motoren. Es ist bekannt, daß die einwandfreie Funktion von Abgaskatalysatoren durch vorsätzliche Eingriffe, durch zu heiße Abgase, z.B. im Vollastbetrieb der Motoren, durch ungeeignete, vornehmlich bleihaltige Kraftstoffe und durch Erreichen der Lebensdauer der Katalysatoren beeinflußt wird. Der Gesetzgeber hat deshalb eine jährliche Überprüfung der Funktion von Kraftfahrzeug-Katalysatoren vorgesehen. Erfindungsgemäß kann diese Überprüfung entfallen, wenn das Gerät als Zusatzeinrichtung für Abgaskatalysatoren nach Art der ebenfalls gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Fahrtenschreiber für Lastkraftwagen verplombt wird und die einwandfreie Funktion der Katalysatoren durch eine geeignete Anzeige bei jeder polizeilichen Straßenverkehrskontrolle überprüfbar ist.The patent application is of particular importance in connection with the monitoring of the function of catalytic converters for gasoline engines. It is known, that the perfect functioning of catalytic converters through deliberate interventions, by excessively hot exhaust gases, e.g. when the engines are running at full load, by unsuitable, primarily leaded fuels and by Reaching the service life of the Catalysts is affected. The legislature therefore has an annual review the function of motor vehicle catalytic converters provided. According to the invention this can Checks are not required if the device is used as an additional device for catalytic converters according to the type of tachograph for trucks, which is also required by law is sealed and the proper function of the catalytic converters by a suitable one The display can be checked at every police road traffic control.
Aus dem Gerät als Zusatzeinrichtung für Abgaskatalysatoren können ferner, ersatzweise für die üblichen Lambda-Sonden, elektrische Größen entnommen werden, die proportional dem Gehalt eines spezifischen Schadstoffes in den Abgasen sind und deshalb zur Steuerung oder Regelung von Motoraggregaten oder Motor-Hilfsaggregaten wie z.b. Ventilantrieben, Einspritzpumpen und Vergasern zwecks Senkung dieser Schadstoffanteile im Abgas herangezogen werden können.You can use the device as an additional device for catalytic converters furthermore, as a substitute for the usual lambda probes, electrical values are taken that is proportional to the content of a specific pollutant in the exhaust gases and are therefore used to control or regulate engine units or auxiliary engine units such as. Valve drives, injection pumps and carburetors to reduce these pollutants can be used in the exhaust gas.
Die Erfindung wird anhand der Abbildungen beispielsweise beschrieben. Im einzelnen zeigt Fig. 1 Emissionsspektrum einer monochromatischen Lichtquelle mit einem ausgeprägten Emissionsmaximum bei einer Wellenlänge von 400 nm Fig. 2 Absorptionsspektrum von N02 mit einem ausgeprägten Absorptionsmaximum bei 400 nm Fig. 3 Gerät entsprechend der Erfindung und dessen Anordnung im Abgasstrom Mit dem an sich bekannten absorptions-spektrometrischen Verfahren sind alle Schadstoffe in Abgasen qualitativ und quantitativ zu bestimmen, die einen ausgeprägten Extremwert in ihrem Absorptionsspektrum aufweisen. In der Beschreibung der Erfindung wird beispielsweise auf N02 Bezug genommen, das einen solchen Extremwert für eine Wellenlänge von ca.The invention is described, for example, with reference to the figures. In detail, Fig. 1 shows the emission spectrum of a monochromatic light source with a pronounced emission maximum at a wavelength of 400 nm Fig. 2 Absorption spectrum of NO2 with a pronounced absorption maximum at 400 nm Fig. 3 device according to the invention and its arrangement in the exhaust gas flow With the absorption-spectrometric method known per se are all pollutants to determine qualitatively and quantitatively in exhaust gases that have a pronounced extreme value have in their absorption spectrum. In the description of the invention, for example referred to N02, which has such an extreme value for a wavelength of approx.
400 nm aufweist.400 nm.
Das Gerät ist vorzugsweise in einem Winkel von 90t zur Richtung des Abgasstromes angeordnet. Die Absorptionsmeßstrecke befindet sich auf der Linie I-I (Fig. 3). Auf dieser Linie sind die Lichtquelle (5), der Meßsensor (6) sowie der Referenzsensor (7) angeordnet. Die Lichtquelle (5) emittiert annähernd monochromatisches Licht der Wellenlänge, für die das Absorptionsspektrum der nachzuweisenden Abgaskomponente ein Absorptionsmaximum aufweist (Fig.l und 2).The device is preferably at an angle of 90t to the direction of the Exhaust gas stream arranged. The absorption measuring section is on line I-I (Fig. 3). On this line are the light source (5), the measuring sensor (6) and the Reference sensor (7) arranged. The light source (5) emits almost monochromatic Light of the wavelength for which the absorption spectrum of the exhaust gas component to be detected has an absorption maximum (Fig.l and 2).
Der Abgasstrom wird zwischen der Lichtquelle und dem Meßsensor (6) hindurchgeführt. Entsprechend dem gewählten Beispiel wird sich bei steigendem N02 -Gehalt des Abgases eine diesem Anstieg proportionale Potentiald:ifferenz zwischen dem Meßsensor (6) und dem Referenzsensor (7) einstellen.The exhaust gas flow is between the light source and the measuring sensor (6) passed through. According to the example chosen, with increasing N02 -Content of the exhaust gas a potential proportional to this increase: ifference between the measuring sensor (6) and the reference sensor (7).
Die Lichtquelle (5) und die Sensoren (6) (7) sind mit einer bekannten elektronischen Schaltung verbunden. Da das gesamte Gerät je nach Betriebszustand des Motors und den klimatischen Verhältnissen erheblichen Temperaturschwankungen ausgesetzt ist, muß diese Schaltung neben einem Intensitätsregler (1) für die Lichtquellenansteuerung und einem Komparator (4) auch eine Temperaturkompensation (3) beinhalten, die über einen Temparatursensor (2), welcher vorzugsweise an der Abgasleitung (8) positioniert ist, angesteuert wird.The light source (5) and the sensors (6) (7) have a known one electronic circuit connected. As the entire device depending on the operating status of the engine and the climatic conditions are significant temperature fluctuations is exposed, this circuit must have an intensity regulator (1) for the light source control and a comparator (4) also include a temperature compensation (3), which over a temperature sensor (2), which is preferably positioned on the exhaust pipe (8) is controlled.
Das Auftreten von freiem Kohlenstoff hat bei früheren Versuchen, Sensoren aller Art im Einwirkungsbereich der Abgase zu installieren, zum Verrußen dieser Sensoren und damit zu unsicheren Meßergebnissen geführt. Um solche Ablagerungen zu vermeiden, ist das Abgasrohr erfindungsgemäß als Düse mit dem kleinsten Querschnitt im Bereich der Absorptionsmeßstrecke I - I ausgebildet. Lichtquelle (5) und Sensoren (6) (7) sind in Kanälen (9) (10) untergebracht,die im Bereich des kleinsten Düsenquerschnittes in die Abgasleitung münden- und an den jeweils offenen Enden mit Luftfiltern (11) versehen sein können. An den Positionen von- Lichtquelle (5) und Meßsensor (6) herrscht also gegenüber dem Abgasstrom Überdruck, so daß eine Ablagerung von Abgasbestandteilen auf diesen Elementen vermieden wird.The appearance of free carbon has in previous attempts at sensors of all kinds to be installed in the area affected by the exhaust gases, to soot them Sensors and thus led to uncertain measurement results. To such deposits According to the invention, the exhaust pipe is to be avoided as a nozzle with the smallest cross section formed in the area of the absorption measuring section I - I. Light source (5) and sensors (6) (7) are housed in channels (9) (10) in the area of the smallest nozzle cross-section open into the exhaust pipe and with air filters (11) at the open ends can be provided. At the positions of the light source (5) and measuring sensor (6) prevails thus overpressure in relation to the exhaust gas flow, so that a deposition of exhaust gas components on these elements is avoided.
Als Zusatzeinrichtung zu Katalysatoren ist das Gerät in seiner Zuverlässigkeit ohnehin durch Verrußen von Lichtquelle und Sensor nicht gefährdet. Der Katalysator hat bekanntlich die Aufgabe, die Oxidation von C bzw. CO in C02 , bei gleichzeitiger Reduktion vo.n N02 in N zu fördern. Ein Verrußen der Lichtquelle (5) und des Meßsensors (6) würde deshalb in gleicher Weise eine Funktionsstörung des Katalysators signalisieren wie das Ansteigen des N02 -Gehaltes im Abgas.As an add-on to catalytic converters, the device is extremely reliable anyway not endangered by soot on the light source and sensor. The catalyst is known to have the task of the oxidation of C or CO in C02, with simultaneous Promote reduction of N02 in N. Sooting of the light source (5) and the measuring sensor (6) would therefore signal a malfunction of the catalytic converter in the same way like the increase in the N02 content in the exhaust gas.
Durch das Ansaugen von Frischluft durch die Kanäle (9) u. (10) erfolgt ferner eine zusätzliche Kühlung der emittierten Abgase. Als Zusatzeinrichtung für Abgaskatalysatoren kann das Gerät in Richtung des Abgasstromes wahlweise vor oder hinter dem Katalysator angeordnet werden. Die Ansaugöffnungen der Kanäle (9) und (10) können mit Ventilen bzw.Drossel- klappen (12) versehen werden, die von einem Abgas-Temperatursensor (13) über eine Schaltung (14) angesteuerbar sind, wodurch der Frischluftzustrom in Abhängigkeit von der Abgastemperatur variert werden kann. Ordnet man das Gerät vor dem Katalysator an, ergibt sich der zusätzliche Vorteil, daß dadurch die Betriebstemperatur des Katalysators, unabhängig vom Betriebszustand des Motors, in einem optimalen Bereich zu halten ist.By sucking in fresh air through the channels (9) and (10) takes place also an additional cooling of the emitted exhaust gases. As an additional device for The device can have exhaust gas catalytic converters either in front of or in the direction of the exhaust gas flow be arranged behind the catalytic converter. The suction openings of the channels (9) and (10) can be fitted with valves or throttle flaps (12) are provided, which can be controlled by an exhaust gas temperature sensor (13) via a circuit (14) are, whereby the fresh air inflow varies depending on the exhaust gas temperature can be. If the device is arranged in front of the catalytic converter, the additional one results The advantage that this increases the operating temperature of the catalytic converter, regardless of the operating state of the engine is to be kept in an optimal range.
