Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to a ship engine exhaust denitrification device, and in particular to an SCR closed-loop control device and a control method. Background Art
[0002] Ships are a crucial means of transportation for today's socioeconomic development. With the increasing number of ships, emissions of exhaust pollutants such as NOx from ship engines are becoming increasingly severe, severely impacting the air environment in coastal and riverside areas. Ship denitrification systems, also known as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, use a catalyst to heat the flue gas, causing a reducing agent to react with NOx in the exhaust gas to produce non-toxic and non-polluting nitrogen and water.
[0003] At present, most of the SCRs installed on ships adopt an open-loop control mode, that is, in order to meet the emission requirements of various diesel engines, their urea supply is calibrated under various working conditions during the main engine factory's emission test, forming a MAP diagram of diesel engine power and urea supply. After the SCR is installed on the ship, the urea supply and diesel engine power are fixed regardless of whether the actual ship's emissions are bad or not. The open-loop control method cannot fully adapt to the emission changes of diesel engines after a long period of use, as well as the changes after the catalyst performance life decays. Therefore, the SCR urea supply system adopts a closed-loop control method, which can better meet the emission change requirements of diesel engines after long-term use, so that the ship engine meets the emission regulations and limits. However, the closed-loop SCR urea supply system in the existing technology has the problem of insensitive urea output feedback, and cannot quickly adjust the situation where the NOx fluctuation range in the exhaust gas is large due to changes in working conditions.

[0041] Example 1: Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides an SCR closed-loop control device, including a supply system 100 , a reaction system 200 , a control system 300 for controlling the urea supply amount of the supply system 100 , and a power system 400 .
[0042] The supply system 100 includes a flow sensor 101, a control valve 102, a pump unit 103, and a spray gun 104. The flow sensor 101 detects the urea supply from the supply system 100, the control valve 102 controls the urea output from the supply system 100, and the pump unit 103 delivers urea from the urea storage tank to the spray gun 104. The inlet of the spray gun 104 is connected to the outlet of the control valve 102. Adjusting the opening of the control valve 102 controls the urea flow rate entering the spray gun 104. The outlet of the spray gun 104 is connected to the inlet of the mixing pipe 203, which delivers the urea delivered from the supply system 100 to the reaction system 200.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, the flow sensor 101 is an electromagnetic flow meter, and the feedback signal output is 4-20 mA; the control valve 102 is a proportional control valve, and the input signal is 4-20 mA.
[0044] In a specific embodiment, the pump group 103 delivers marine urea to the spray gun 104. The delivered urea and the exhaust gas containing NOx undergo a catalytic reaction in the reaction system 200 to complete the catalytic reduction of NOx. The flow sensor 101 is arranged between the pump group 103 and the control valve 102 to detect the urea flow entering the control valve 102 in real time.
[0045] In some embodiments, the reaction system 200 includes a first sensor 201, a second sensor 202, a mixing tube 203, and a reactor 204. The first sensor 201 is disposed at the air inlet of the reaction system 200 to detect the NOx concentration at the air inlet of the reaction system 200; the second sensor 202 is disposed at the air outlet of the reaction system 200 to detect the NOx concentration at the air outlet of the reaction system 200. In one specific embodiment, the first sensor 201 is mounted at the inlet of the mixing tube 203, and the second sensor 202 is mounted at the outlet of the reactor 204.
[0046] In some embodiments, the control system 300 is in communication with the first sensor 201 , the second sensor 202 , the control valve 102 , and the power system 400 , respectively. The power system 400 transmits the load signal to the control system 300 .
[0047] In a specific embodiment, the power system 400 is a marine diesel engine, and the exhaust port of the marine diesel engine is connected to the inlet of the mixing pipe 203 .
[0048] Example 2: Figure 2As shown, the method for controlling urea flow rate using the SCR closed-loop control device of the present application includes the following steps:
[0049] The theoretical urea supply amount of the SCR under different operating conditions of the power system 400 is calculated. The theoretical urea supply amount serves as an input parameter 1 of the control system 300. The theoretical urea supply amount is obtained by calibrating the initial urea supply amount under different operating conditions through theoretical calculation or bench testing to form a power and urea supply amount MAP diagram. In the present application, the initial urea supply amount is formed by setting the power and urea supply amount MAP diagram, so that the NOx value during SCR operation can quickly reach near the theoretical emission range.
[0050] The NOx concentration that meets emission requirements is set as the target value. Meanwhile, the average NOx concentration detected by the second sensor 202 during time period T1 is compared with the target NOx value and used as input parameter 2 for the control system 300. The present application further utilizes the control system 300 to compare the difference between the NOx detection value of the second sensor 202 and the target NOx value, and simultaneously sets the adjustment range for the urea supply at different gears. A larger NOx difference indicates a larger adjustment range, and vice versa. In one specific embodiment, the T1 time period is set to 10 to 30 seconds, and the NOx detection value collected during this period is the average NOx value. This effectively reduces fluctuations in flow feedback control caused by NOx value fluctuations, resulting in more stable flow regulation.
[0051] In the power system 400, the difference between the power MAP and the urea supply amount in the time period T2 is used as the input parameter 3 of the control system 300. In a specific embodiment, the power system 400 uses a diesel engine. When the power of the diesel engine changes within a certain period of time, the urea supply flow rate will be superimposed with a urea flow rate difference generated by the power difference of the diesel engine in the time period, so that the urea flow rate supply can meet the rapid response when the load changes. Specifically, T1= , where k is a positive integer. In some embodiments, 1≤k≤15, such as k can be any value of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15. For example, when k is 2, the T2 time period is 5 to 15 seconds.
[0052] The set supply rate is calculated using input parameters 1, 2, and 3. The set supply rate is calculated as: the initial urea supply rate + the supply rate adjustment margin based on the difference between the average NOx concentration detected during time period T1 and the target NOx value + the feedback urea supply rate adjustment margin based on the summed difference between the MAP supply rates during time period T2. Furthermore, the real-time urea supply flow rate is determined based on the value fed back by the flow sensor 101. This real-time flow rate is compared with the set supply rate to adjust the output value of the control valve 102. In one specific embodiment, the value fed back by the flow sensor 101 is compared with the set urea supply target value and used as the input for PID control of the control valve 102. This results in a dual closed-loop control scheme based on both the NOx value and the flow rate, ensuring that NOx emissions are kept within the set target NOx range.
[0053] In a specific application example, the set supply amount is calculated as follows:
[0054]
[0055]
[0056]
[0057] = ;
[0058] in, Q To set the supply quantity, Q 1 is the theoretical urea supply, Q 2 is the amount of urea supplied for correction, is the difference of the urea supply amount superimposed on the power MAP diagram during the T2 period, P is the power of the power system, N is the absolute value of the difference between the NOx concentration mean value and the NOx target value, N 1~ N 3 is the NOx deviation calculation domain parameter, k 1 and k 2 is the adjustment ratio parameter, b 1 and b 2 is the adjustment amplitude parameter, T1 and T2 are the correction value time parameters, is the urea supply amount in the power MAP corresponding to the nth time T2, It is the urea supply amount of the power MAP diagram corresponding to the (n-1)th T2 time.
[0059] as well as Calculated in the following ways:
[0060]
[0061] .
[0062] One calculation cycle is from 0 to T1, and Q1 and Q2 are calculated as follows:
[0063] In the time period from 0 to T1, Q1 is calculated based on the real-time measured power P value and changes with time in the time period from 0 to T1; Q2 is calculated based on the time 0 and remains unchanged in the time period from 0 to T1.
[0064] During the time period from T2 to T1, Q1 is calculated based on the real-time measured power P value and changes with time during the time period from T2 to T1; Q2 is calculated based on the value at time T1 and remains unchanged during the time period from T2 to T1.
[0065] Application example: As shown in Table 1, the theoretical MAP flow rate of urea supply established according to the diesel engine power is used as input parameter 1.
[0066] Set the difference between the NOx set value 130 ppm and the NOx concentration detected by the second sensor as input parameter 2:
[0067]
[0068] Set the NOx deviation calculation domain parameters for N1~N3, such as setting N1 to 25 ppm, N2 to 50 ppm, and N3 to 100 ppm respectively.
[0069] And select the adjustment range according to the experience value and set the adjustment ratio of the urea supply in the two gears k 1 and k 2 and the adjustment range of urea supply in two gears b 1 and b 2. According to the absolute value N of the difference between the detected NOx concentration mean and the NOx target value, we can get , the T1 time period can be selected as 30s, and the T2 time period can be selected as 10s.
