DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING AND CONTROLLING ACTUAL SUPPLIED AMOUNT OF UREA ENTERING AN EXHAUST SYSTEM
A device for adjusting and controlling the actual supplied amount of urea entering an exhaust system comprises an electronic control unit (1), a compressed air supply device (2), a urea storage device (3), a compressed air control device (4), a metering pump or a metering valve (5), a spray nozzle (6), a main pipeline (7), a urea pipeline (8), and a urea control device (9). The urea control device (9) is in communication with the electronic control unit (1) and controls the actual supplied amount of urea injected into the exhaust system from the spray nozzle according to the starting time point and the finishing time point. A method for adjusting and controlling the actual supplied amount of urea entering an exhaust system is also disclosed. The present device and method effectively prevent the excessive urea from being injected into the exhaust system, and enable the original exhaust system to match with stricter emission standards through a low cost improvement.
The present invention relates to the control system for internal combustion engine, especially a device for adjusting and controlling the actual supplied amount of urea entering an exhaust system and the adjusting and controlling method thereof.
BACKGROUND OF ARTInternal combustion engines may be categorized into two types, namely gasoline engines and diesel engines, which are characterized with their respective advantages due to the different work mechanisms. The gasoline engines are lighter with less vibration and enhanced smoothness while the diesel engines work more efficiently with a 30% cut-down in the fuel consumption and a high torque enabling higher performance at a lower RPM and high power. Generally, the diesel engines have been expected for great prospects for a great many of benefits despite of some evident defects. The emission pollution of internal combustion engines includes carbon monoxides (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matters (PM). The emission pollution of gasoline engines are mainly CO and HC that ternary catalysts have been turned to be a solution. The emission pollution of diesel engines are mainly NOx and PM. The pollution caused by NOx, a hard problem for a long time, has been found a bit easier to deal with in recently years by means of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).
NOx and PM are found to be on the opposite side of the pollution problem. The NOx pollution mainly derives from the heat generated from the high combustion temperature, that leads to the oxidation of Nitrogen. In order to reduce the generation of PM, the temperature is further heated after full burning of diesel leading to the increased NOx pollution, and vice versa. During EGR a proportion of the exhaust gas is allowed to return into the intake air inlet. The proportion of oxygen comprised in the intake air is decreased, accompanied by the reduced generation of NOx but increased PM. The application of EGR will also cause higher fuel consumption and thus higher cost. It can be seen that although EGR is advantaged in that no additional substance is involved in its process but the effect is rather limited. During SCR NOx reacts with ammonia to produce nitrogen and water, the process of which requires the aid of a catalyst. Ammonia is known for difficult storage and handling due to its instability and toxic. To deal with this problem, the urea solution is sprayed into the upstream of the SCR catalyst. The hydrolysis of urea will take place at the high combustion temperature producing a mixture of ammonia, carbon dioxide and water. The released ammonia then enters the catalyst chamber to react with NOx and get rid of the pollution. The SCR technology is expected with greater prospects for its higher efficiency in NOx conversion, except that the additional provision of urea solution leaves room for improvement. DPFs refer to diesel particulate filters, which tend to clog up due to the absorption of particulates to an amount. The regeneration is achieved through removing the absorbed carbon particulates by burning at a high temperature. However, in China, currently the high content of sulfur in diesel has caused the regeneration of the particulates of sulfur compounds unable to achieve. The DPF has to be replaced anew at a cost. This reality is one of the reasons for tightening the emission standards in China. DOCs refer to Diesel Oxidation Catalysts that play an active role in the process of converting carbon particulates into carbon dioxide.
The modern after-treatment system integrates multiple systems, whereas SCR constitutes the core of the after-treatment system for diesel engines. The emission standards for diesel engines include the European standards and the U.S. standards. In China, the European standards have been referred to for reference. Currently the national emission standards III, which follow the European standards III, are in general practice in China and are believed to be soon substituted with the national emission standards IV, where in some major cities of China national emission standards V have been put into effect. The majority of European are practicing standards V with a number of major cities practicing standards VI, which is planned for a full launch in 2014. The European standards III are considered rather out-of-date, which may be achieved by EGR technology. SCR technology would be necessary to meet with the European standards IV. Compared with European standards IV, the European standards V have been tightened for the emission of NOx while no changes have been made to the PM emission. The PM emission is significantly reduced by half and NOx to one-fifth of the previous standards in the European standards VI.
The SCR technology is rather complex. In theory, to improve the conversion rate of exhaust gas can be realized through the utilization of either an increased amount or massive of catalyst or increased amount of urea. However, it is not that simple in practical. Firstly, the increasing of catalyst to use means even higher cost and also greater volume, both of which will become unacceptable. Secondly, the emission of ammonia due to the extra urea, called ammonia leaks, involves pollution itself with its toxicity and strong smell. It is stated in the emission standards that the average ammonia leak should be kept down below 10 ppm with the maximum value no more than 25 ppm. Therefore, the key point underlying the SCR technology is focused on injection of proper amount of urea at the proper timing so as to reach a higher conversion rate while managing the ammonia leaks within limits, in other words, the urea injection strategy. Nonetheless, the actual supplied amount of urea is influenced by a number of factors, such as the amount of urea piped from the urea chamber being hard to control to be completely equivalent to that injected into the exhaust system, and that even the most optimized injection strategy has only been able to live up to the average value standard yet without success for the maximum restriction. In the prior arts, targeting at the fulfillment of NOx emission standard as well as ammonia leaks, such means as an increased mass of SCR catalyst, first lowering NOx by EGR technology combined with SCR, or other alternative methods have been used in an attempt, still no high hopes for the practice or popularization of either of which due to the high cost and failure in complying with the European standards VI.
The present invention provides a device for adjusting and controlling the actual supplied amount of urea entering an exhaust system and the adjusting and controlling method thereof, giving a more precise method in urea injection that will prevent the over injection of urea and further lower the cost of SCR process.

With reference to
With the control valve 91 in the open position, the compressed air enters both the main pipeline 7 and the branch airway 95, where a proportion of the compressed air mixes with the urea in the main pipeline 7 before entering the spray nozzle 6 while another proportion enters the spray nozzle 6 by way of the branch airway 95, the urea is sprayed into the exhaust system by spray nozzle 6. When the control valve 91 is switched to the close position, the compressed no longer enters the main pipeline 7 but still enters the branch airway 95 and further into the spray nozzle 6. As a result of the constant flow of the compressed air in the branch airway 95, the accumulation of the urea solution at the connecting point of the branch airway 95 and the main pipeline 7 is purged into the exhaust system by the compressed air flowing out of the branch airway 95.
