Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for monitoring the functioning of an exhaust gas aftertreatment system of a motor vehicle based on measuring values from a sensor as to the magnitude of a parameter related to exhaust gases flowing out of an exhaust gas aftertreatment appliance, for instance in the form of a catalyst or a filter, included in the exhaust gas aftertreatment system.
- the invention also relates to a method and an arrangement for generating lookup values to be used for monitoring the functioning of an exhaust gas aftertreat- ment system of a motor vehicle.
- the invention relates to computer programs comprising computer program code for implementing methods according to the invention, a computer program product comprising a data storage medium readable by an electronic control unit and having such a computer program stored thereon, and an electronic control unit.
- SCR Selective Catalytic Reduction
- a method for monitoring an SCR catalyst is previously known from WO 2004/109072 A1 .
- a temperature value representing the temperature of exhaust gases flowing out of the SCR catalyst is calculated by means of a cal- culation model and compared with a temperature value measured in the exhaust line downstream of the SCR catalyst. Based on the correspondence between these temperature values, such as for instance the difference between them, it is established whether or not the SCR catalyst and its injection device are functioning in a satisfying and expected manner. Similar methods are also previously known from DE 4 122 787 A1 , US 5 860 277 A and EP 0 756 071 A2.
- a problem associated with this type of monitoring methods relying on a calculation model is that the calculation model normally might give rather correct calculation values but at some operating conditions might give calculation values deviating substantially from the corresponding real values. Thus, incorrect fault indications might be generated based on test samples recorded during the last mentioned operating conditions.
- the functioning of an SCR catalyst may also be monitored by means of a NO x sensor arranged to measure the NO x content in the exhaust gases downstream of the catalyst.
- This NO x sensor may be supplemented by another NO x sensor arranged to measure the NO x content in the exhaust gases upstream of the catalyst in order to provide a comparison value.
- a NO x sen- sor is an expensive component and one option for dispensing with a NO x sensor upstream of the catalyst is to use a calculation model for calculating the amount of NO x produced by the vehicle engine.
- another calculation model may be used for calculating the expected conversion of NO x in the catalyst so as to obtain calculated values of the NO x content in the exhaust gases downstream of the catalyst.
- calculated values may then be compared with the measuring values from the NO x sensor downstream of the catalyst in order to detect possible disorders of the catalyst and the associated equipment.
- the use of calculation models for calculating the magnitude of the NO x content in the exhaust gases may however give calculation values deviating substantially from the corresponding real values, which in its turn may result in the generation of incorrect fault indications.
- a first object of the present invention is to propose a new and reliable manner of monitoring an exhaust gas aftertreatment system of a motor vehicle.
- the functioning of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system is monitored based on measuring values from a sensor as to the magnitude of a parameter related to exhaust gases flowing out of an exhaust gas aftertreatment appliance, for instance in the form of a catalyst or a filter, included in the exhaust gas aftertreatment system.
- a first curve is established based on measuring values from the sensor as to the magnitude of the parameter during a certain period of time, which is here denominated evaluation period, this first curve representing the measured magnitude of the parameter as a function of time during the evaluation period;
- a second curve is established based on values of the magnitude of the parameter during the evaluation period calculated by means of a calculation model, this second curve representing the calculated magnitude of the parameter as a function of time during the evaluation period;
- the second curve is compared with the first curve in order to establish whether or not the curve shape of the second curve resembles the curve shape of the first curve;
- - information regarding the functioning of the exhaust gas after- treatment system is generated based on measuring values from the sensor and corresponding calculation values from the calculation model as to the magnitude of the parameter during the evaluation period, only if it is established by said comparison that the curve shape of the second curve resembles the curve shape of the first curve.
- the expression "the curve shape of the second curve resembles the curve shape of the first curve” implies that the curves change in an approximately similar manner, at approximately the same time, in the same direction and approximately to the same extent, i.e. that the changes of the second curve essentially follow the changes of the first curve. If the curve shape of the second curve resembles the curve shape of the first curve, the second curve will consequently rise when the first curve rises and fall when the first curve falls, and with approximately the same absolute value. However, that the curve shape of the second curve resembles the curve shape of the first curve does not imply that the curves have to overlap or coincide. On the contrary, there may be an approximately constant offset in absolute value between the curves, even though the curve shape of the second curve resembles the curve shape of the first curve.
- information re- garding the functioning of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system is generated based on measuring values from the sensor and corresponding calculation values from the calculation model as to the magnitude of the parameter during the evaluation period, only on condition that it is established that the engine of the ve- hide is running under steady-state operating conditions during the evaluation period.
- a calculation model normally reflects the effects of an exhaust gas aftertreatment system on a specific parameter with better accuracy during steady-state operating conditions as compared to transient operating conditions.
- steady-state operating conditions refers to a situation when the engine of the vehicle is running at steady-state with stable engine load and stable rotational speed. Appropriate criteria for stable engine load and stable rotational speed may easily be set by a person skilled in the art from case to case depending on the type of vehicle and the type of engine in question.
- the second curve is compared with the first curve by means of a curve comparison model or curve recognition model which is designed to compare the gradient and/or absolute value of the second curve at certain points of time during the evaluation period with the gradient and/or absolute value of the first curve at the corre- sponding points of time so as to thereby establish whether or not the curve shape of the second curve resembles the curve shape of the first curve. It has been found that this type of model may by favourable for use in this connection.
- measuring values from the sensor and corresponding calculation values from the calculation model as to the magnitude of the parameter during the evaluation period are evaluated in order to form a correspondence value representing the correspondence between said measuring values and calculation values during the evalua- tion period, and information regarding the functioning of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system is generated based on this correspondence value.
- the correspondence value is suitably formed so as to represent the correspondence between the mean value of said measuring values from the sensor and the mean value of said calculation values from the calculation model during the evaluation period or during a part thereof.
- information regarding the functioning of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system is generated by comparing said correspondence value with a lookup value, which has been stored associated with an engine operating point corresponding to the engine operating point prevailing during the evaluation period and which has been generated based on one or several correspondence values previously established for this engine operating point with the same engine in the same manner as the present correspondence value and with the same sensor and calculation model.
- a lookup value which has been stored associated with an engine operating point corresponding to the engine operating point prevailing during the evaluation period and which has been generated based on one or several correspondence values previously established for this engine operating point with the same engine in the same manner as the present correspondence value and with the same sensor and calculation model.
- a fault indication is suitably generated if the difference or ratio between the new correspondence value and the previously stored lookup value exceeds a threshold value so as to thereby indicate a functional disorder of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system.
- engine operating point refers to a “point” with a certain combination of engine load and engine rotational speed. Each engine operating point is associated with an engine load of a specific magnitude and an engine rotational speed of a specific magni- tude.
- a second object of the present invention is to propose a new and reliable manner of generating lookup values to be used for monitoring the functioning of an exhaust gas aftertreatment sys- tern of a motor vehicle which is provided with a sensor for measuring the magnitude of a parameter related to exhaust gases flowing out of an exhaust gas aftertreatment appliance, for instance in the form of a catalyst or a filter, included in the exhaust gas aftertreatment system.
- a first curve is established based on measuring values from the sensor as to the magnitude of the parameter during a certain pe- riod of time, which is here denominated evaluation period, this first curve representing the measured magnitude of the parameter as a function of time during the evaluation period;
- a second curve is established based on values of the magnitude of the parameter during the evaluation period calculated by means of a calculation model, this second curve representing the calculated magnitude of the parameter as a function of time during the evaluation period;
- the second curve is compared with the first curve in order to establish whether or not the curve shape of the second curve re-muls the curve shape of the first curve;
- a lookup value for the engine operating point in question is generated based on measuring values from the sensor and corre- sponding calculation values from the calculation model as to the magnitude of the parameter during the evaluation period.
- lookup values are intended to be generated when the engine and the exhaust gas aftertreatment system are considered to be faultless, for instance when the vehicle is new or rather new, and they are to be used as comparison values to be compared with corresponding values established later on during the lifetime of the vehicle in order to detect abnormal deviations that may be caused by a functional disorder of the exhaust gas after- treatment system.
- measuring values from the sensor and corresponding calculation values from the calculation model as to the magnitude of the parameter during the evaluation period are evaluated in order to form a correspondence value representing the correspondence between said measuring values and corresponding calculation values during the evaluation period, and the lookup value is then generated based on this correspondence value.
- each lookup value reflects a previously established correspondence between measuring values and corresponding calculation values established for a certain engine operating point.
- an initial lookup value generated for a certain engine operating point based on one or several initial correspondence values is updated based on one or several subsequent correspondence values established for the engine operating point in question.
- the lookup values may be adjusted so as to compensate for the drifting of the sensor in course of time.
- each such subsequent correspondence value is made to affect the magni- tude of the lookup value to an extent that is made to decrease as the accumulated operating time of the vehicle engine increases.
- the respective correspondence value is formed so as to represent the correspondence between the mean value of said measuring values from the sensor and the mean value of said calculation values from the calculation model during the evaluation period or during a part thereof.
- the invention also relates to a computer program having the features defined in claim 14 and claim 24, respectively, a computer program product having the features defined in claim 25 and an electronic control unit having the features defined in claim 26.

- the injection device 6 also comprises a regulating member 9, e.g. in the form of a control valve, arranged to regulate the supply of reducing agent to said one or several injection members 7, and a control means 10 connected to the regulating member 9.
- the regulating member 9 is controlled by said control means 10, which determines, on the basis of the prevailing operating conditions of the combustion engine 1 and the catalyst 5, the amount of reducing agent to be injected into the exhaust gases.
- the injection device 6 may also comprise further components, such as a dosing appliance etc.

- the sensor 1 1 is a NO x sensor arranged to generate measuring values representing the NO x content in the exhaust gases flowing out of the catalyst 5, i.e. the NO x content in the exhaust gases at the outlet of the catalyst.

- the evaluation period T ev may in the given example for instance be in the order of 10-30 seconds. During this period of time, measuring values and calculation values as to the magnitude of the parameter are established repeatedly, for instance with an interval in the order of 10-100 ms.
- the length of the evaluation period T ev and the interval between each measuring value and calculation value, respectively, may of course vary widely from case to case depending on the nature of the exhaust gas after- treatment system to be monitored.
- the processing means 22 is adapted to compare the second curve C2 with the first curve C1 by means of a suitable curve comparison model or curve recognition model.
