Definitions

  • the invention relates to an internal combustion engine with an exhaust system with at least one exhaust line, which is connected to the internal combustion engine via an exhaust manifold.
  • exhaust gas aftertreatment devices such as catalytic converters or the like
  • the function of such exhaust gas aftertreatment devices is generally dependent on the operating temperature. There is a lower limit from which the pollutant reduction begins (e.g. in the catalytic converter the "light off") and an upper limit from which secondary emissions are formed (the diesel oxidation catalytic converter forms sulfates from approx. 400 ° C) or from which the Exhaust gas treatment device would be damaged (an Otto three-way catalytic converter is damaged approximately above 950 ° C).
  • the rapid reaching of this temperature range or staying within it can generally be largely ensured by manipulating the mixture composition, ignition and position of the components within the exhaust system, although this ultimately has a disadvantageous effect on fuel consumption.
  • US 3,747,346 A describes a temperature control system for a catalyst of an internal combustion engine. Upstream of a catalytic converter, an exhaust pipe is surrounded by a housing structure, an air gap for a cooling channel being formed between the housing structure and the exhaust pipe.
  • the cooling channel has an air inlet in the start area of the housing structure and an air outlet in the end area of the housing structure.
  • the housing structure and the cooling channel end upstream of the catalytic converter.
  • Control flaps which are mechanically connected to one another are arranged in the region of the air inlet and the air outlet. The control flaps are actuated via a solenoid valve depending on the catalyst temperature. Air inlet and outlet are directly connected to the environment. Since a separate housing structure is required for cooling the exhaust pipe, the temperature control device is relatively complex.
  • a similar exhaust system is known from DE 22 40 681 A.
  • EP 0 928 885 A2 shows an exhaust device with an exhaust manifold encased in a housing.
  • US 3,820,327 A describes a temperature control device for a catalyst. Part of the exhaust pipe and the catalytic converter are surrounded by a separate cooling housing, the cooling air inlet of which is connected to the radiator fan chamber. By means of a changeover flap, the cooling air can optionally be conducted into the cooling housing for cooling the catalytic converter or around the cooling housing.
  • This cooling device is also relatively complex, since a separate cooling housing is required.
  • an air-gap-insulated cup manifold for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine which has an inner tube carrying the exhaust gas and an outer shell.
  • An air gap is formed between the inner tube and the outer shell.
  • the outer shell has a plurality of openings through which an external air flow is blown into the air gap due to the wind.
  • the cooling air leaves the air gap in the end area of the manifold. Control of the cooling is not provided.
  • An exhaust manifold formed by a double pipe construction is also known from EP 0 622 531 AI.
  • Cylinder heads are known from US Pat. No. 6,513,506 and US Pat. No. 4,329,843 A, in which the exhaust ports are connected to the flow within the cylinder head and the exhaust manifold is thus integrated into the cylinder head.
  • cylinder heads require a relatively high level of production expenditure and also have a disadvantageous effect on the size of the cylinder head.
  • Exhaust gas recirculation systems in certain classes of commercial vehicle and industrial engines should be as simple, robust and cost-effective as possible and should therefore be able to operate without complex actuation mechanisms (e.g. without variable valve train or electronic map control or the like).
  • these exhaust gas recirculation systems should keep the exhaust gas recirculation rate as low as possible at a low engine speed in order not to deteriorate the response behavior and the starting torque of the engine.
  • the exhaust gas recirculation rates in the relevant operating points of the emission cycle e.g. at medium and high engine speed / high load
  • a diesel internal combustion engine with a cam-controlled internal exhaust gas recirculation is known from WO 03/040540 AI.
  • Cam-controlled internal exhaust gas recirculation systems deliver relatively constant exhaust gas recirculation rates in the entire map area, but cannot be switched off due to their simple, inexpensive design.
  • the course of the exhaust gas recirculation quantity over the speed can be influenced favorably by a suitable shape and position of the pre-lift cam, however, the influence on the exhaust gas recirculation rates is limited and compromises have to be made.
  • Simple, external exhaust gas recirculation systems in turn, can only recirculate exhaust gas if the exhaust gas back pressure in front of the exhaust gas turbine is higher than the boost pressure in the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine.
  • the problem arises that no exhaust gas can be recirculated due to the prevailing pressure conditions.
  • a diesel internal combustion engine with an internal and an external exhaust gas recirculation system is known.
  • a shut-off flap is provided in the exhaust tract as well as in the intake tract to carry out the internal exhaust gas recirculation, so that the internal exhaust gas recirculation can take place by contraction of the intake air or the exhaust gases.
  • the flaps and the exhaust gas recirculation valve in the exhaust gas recirculation line are controlled such that internal exhaust gas recirculation at low speed and low load and external exhaust gas recirculation in the other operating areas of the internal combustion engine leads.
  • this type of control of the exhaust gas recirculation requires a considerable amount of control engineering.
  • Regeneration of exhaust gas aftertreatment systems in high-speed, direct-injection diesel engines is initiated by increasing the exhaust gas temperature using internal engine measures, such as by intake air throttling, if necessary by lowering the boost pressure, and in particular by one or more so-called post-injections of the fuel, that is to say by adding fuel after the actual main injection. This post-injection of the fuel usually takes place after the top dead center of the ignition has been exceeded.
  • US Pat. No. 6,412,276 B1 discloses a system for regenerating a particle filter of a diesel internal combustion engine, which provides that fuel is injected into at least one cylinder during an expansion stroke in order to achieve an increase in the exhaust gas temperature.
  • US 2003/0056498 AI also describes a method for the regeneration of a particle filter of a diesel internal combustion engine, in which the temperature increase of the exhaust line is achieved by post-injection of fuel.
  • An additional post-injection to increase the temperature of the exhaust gas for the initiation of the regeneration of a particle filter of a diesel engine is also known from WO 96/03571 AI.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages and to enable the exhaust gas temperature to be controlled in the simplest possible manner in order to improve the emissions with the lowest possible fuel consumption.
  • Another object of the invention is to reduce the manufacturing outlay for an outlet duct arrangement. Another object of the invention is to increase the heating power.
  • At least one exhaust gas aftertreatment device is arranged downstream of the exhaust manifold, the exhaust gas aftertreatment device and / or the exhaust gas line upstream of the exhaust gas aftertreatment device being at least partially double-walled, at least one gap forming a channel being formed between an exhaust gas-carrying inner wall and an outer wall a heat-transferring medium can be flowed through, and the channel preferably has an inlet in an initial region of the exhaust manifold and an outlet preferably in the end region of the exhaust gas aftertreatment device.
  • the channel can be heated by a heat source preferably formed by an additional heating device, it being particularly advantageous if the additional heating device is a calorific heating device and has an exhaust gas line for the burner exhaust gas, which can be connected to the entry of the channel.
  • Additional heating devices for example based on a burner, are widely used today for comfort reasons for vehicle interior heating. In the case of efficient diesel vehicles in particular, short-term interior heating can only be achieved by means of additional heating devices.
  • the fact that the hot burner exhaust gas from the additional heating device is used to heat the exhaust line upstream of the catalytic converter means that no additional energy resources of the vehicle are consumed. The design effort is extremely low if an additional heating device already provided in the vehicle area is used.
  • the inlet can be functionally connected to the heat source or a heat sink by a switching element.
  • the design effort can be kept very low if the heat sink is formed by a cooling device working with air as the cooling medium, preferably having a blower.
  • the heat sink is formed by a secondary air blower. Secondary air blowers are usually used for exhaust gas dilution during the start-up and warm-up phase of an internal combustion engine operated here in rich grease. As an additional function, the secondary air blower can act as a heat sink.
  • the heat sink and the heat source are formed by the same component.
  • the burner of an additional heating device can be used as a heat sink in the deactivated state, that is to say when the fuel supply is switched off.
  • At least one outlet channel per cylinder which is at least partially surrounded by a cooling space, is arranged, at least one group of outlet channels being connected to one another in the area of the cylinder head are and leads to a common exhaust pipe work connected to a flange face of the cylinder head, and wherein the flow connection between the exhaust ports is formed by at least one connection channel molded into the cylinder head in the area of the flange face and having a cross section open to the flange face.
  • the connecting channel runs essentially parallel to the flange surface, it preferably being provided that the outlet channels open into the connecting channel transversely, preferably approximately at a right angle. This enables the cylinder head to be molded in easily.
  • the connecting duct is partially formed in the cylinder head, the exhaust pipe work can be designed very simply and without a core. It can be provided that the connecting duct is partially formed by the exhaust pipe work, preferably at least half the cross section of the connecting duct being formed in the cylinder head.
  • the outlet tube mill therefore only has to accommodate a part of the connecting channel and can be designed to be open.
  • the heating power can be increased in that the wall of the connecting duct borders a cooling space at least on the side of the cylinder head.
  • the contact area between the exhaust system and the engine coolant can thus be significantly increased and thus the performance of the vehicle heating can be improved.
  • At least two connecting channels with a cross section open to the flange surface are at least partially molded into the cylinder head, a group of outlet channels opening into each of the connecting channels.
  • the exhaust ports can be grouped depending on the ignition sequence, so that mutual interference between the cylinders can be excluded.
  • the connecting channels in the exhaust pipe work are arranged separately, preferably one above the other - in the cylinder axis direction. Cost-effective, accurate and reliable production is possible if the outlet tube works are free of undercuts and can be manufactured using the permanent mold casting process.
  • the internal combustion engine has an internal exhaust gas recirculation system that is controlled in particular independently of the load, preferably by means of a pre-lift cam, and that an external exhaust gas recirculation system is additionally provided with at least one exhaust gas recirculation valve that can be controlled via at least one control line is, preferably at least one delay element being arranged in the control line.
  • the internal and external exhaust gas recirculation system uses the simplest control means.
  • the purely mechanical internal exhaust gas recirculation system can be designed moderately, so that sufficiently high exhaust gas recirculation rates result in the medium speed range and almost no exhaust gas is recirculated at low speed.
  • the desired increasing exhaust gas recirculation rate at high engine speed results from a suitable selection of the exhaust pipe diameter of the external exhaust gas recirculation system in a wide operating range of the internal combustion engine due to the prevailing pressure conditions. Active control of the external exhaust gas recirculation rate is only required in low partial load operation and in transient operation.
  • the time delay element can be mechanical in nature, wherein it is preferably provided that the control line is a pneumatic control pressure line and the mechanical delay element has a pressure container. An orifice is provided at the inlet of the control pressure line.
  • the control pressure line is either connected to the inlet manifold or to a vacuum pump.
  • the tank is only slowly filled or slowly emptied through the orifice, which means that the switching pressure for the exhaust gas recirculation valve is only built up or reduced with a time delay. Smoke emissions in acceleration mode due to excessive exhaust gas recirculation quantities are thus effectively avoided.
  • the vacuum pump can be driven mechanically by the internal combustion engine or also electrically. In a particularly simple embodiment of the invention it is provided that the vacuum pump can be switched depending on the position of the injection pump. A mechanical switch on the injection pump switches vacuum to the control line of the exhaust gas recirculation valve depending on the injection pump position. The vacuum opens the exhaust gas recirculation valve. In order to delay the switching time of the exhaust gas recirculation system in the transient acceleration process, a pressure vessel is again provided as a mechanical delay element, the pressure vessel being brought to negative pressure by the vacuum pump.
  • the exhaust gas recirculation valve is connected to an electronic control unit via an electrical control line and can be switched directly and electrically via this depending on the load.
  • the time delay element is also of an electrical type and can be integrated directly into the electronic control unit.
  • the regeneration is initiated by at least one internal measure depending on the temperatures of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system, preferably for initiating and carrying out the regeneration
  • the internal engine load is increased if the temperature of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system is lower than a defined regeneration temperature
  • the injection timing and / or the control time of at least one gas exchange valve of at least one cylinder is adjusted such that ignition of the injected fuel is not possible, so that the unburned fuel is stored upstream of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system,
  • the fuel injection is switched off in at least one cylinder and the cylinder is operated as an air delivery device for the exhaust gas aftertreatment system.
  • the control of the gas exchange valves can be carried out in such a way that maximum compression work is generated. This can be achieved, for example, by temporarily not opening the exhaust valve or valves. It is preferably provided that the fuel injection is suspended in the cylinder performing the maximum compression work. This avoids increased fuel consumption. To increase To prevent the entry of fuel into the engine oil, it is particularly advantageous if one or more cylinders are operated alternately with normal and increased internal engine load.
  • the internal engine load is increased, especially at low loads and in the low speed range.
  • the number of injections per cylinder is applied such that e.g. With a 4-cylinder four-stroke engine, not every 720 ° crank angle is injected, but depending on the map in even or odd multiples of 720 °.
  • the injection mass required by the suspension of an injection is compensated.
  • the correction injection masses are calculated using freely applicable maps.
  • the control time of the gas exchange valves is modified in such a cylinder in which no injection takes place in such a way that maximum compression work is generated.
  • the indicated mean pressure is increased at the same effective mean pressure, whereby the exhaust gas temperature can be increased even without post-injection.
  • fuel is injected into individual cylinders and / or individual cycles under such conditions that self-ignition can be ruled out.
  • This can be achieved by appropriate selection of the control times or the injection timing, for example by injecting a small fuel mass below the auto-ignition conditions and at the same time opening at least one exhaust valve shortly after the top dead center of the ignition. This ensures that the injected fuel mass does not ignite and is available as an unburned hydrocarbon to the exhaust gas aftertreatment system to initiate an exothermic reaction. Due to the pressure drop, the fuel mass injected for hydrocarbon generation is discharged directly on the outlet side. The entry of fuel into the engine oil is significantly reduced with the same level of hydrocarbon availability compared to the conventional method by means of post-injection.
  • step c) At least one cylinder is operated temporarily as an air delivery device.
  • the fuel injection and the control times are switched off in this cylinder adjusted at the same time so that after the hydrocarbon has been deposited after process step b), the oxygen required for the exothermic reaction is provided exactly. This is achieved in particular by optimizing the outlet opening times for air delivery. There is therefore no combustion in this cylinder, which means that the oxygen content in the cylinder filling is completely retained.

This area is represented by R in FIG. 10.
  • the rapidly increasing exhaust gas recirculation quantity EGR over the speed n facilitates the use of uncontrolled turbines 210, since the mass flow through the turbine 210 is reduced by the exhaust gas recirculation quantity EGR.
  • FIG. 11 shows the exhaust gas recirculation rates EGR over the engine speed n for differently designed internal exhaust gas recirculation systems, which are indicated by the lines C, D, E, F, and for combined internal and external exhaust gas recirculation G. Due to the position and the shape of the pre-lift cam, the intake cam, the course of the internal exhaust gas recirculation quantity can be shaped favorably over the speed n, but there are limits to the influence of the exhaust gas recirculation rates, especially at high speed. Even higher exhaust gas recirculation rates at high engine speeds can only be achieved with the combined internal and external exhaust gas recirculation indicated by curve G.
