Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of engine emission control, and particularly to a control method, device, equipment, and medium for reducing N2O emissions in an engine. Background Art

[0002] Currently, against the backdrop of strict control of stationary pollution sources and significant reduction of total pollution, the problem of mobile source pollution represented by motor vehicle emissions has become increasingly prominent. Regarding engine pollutant emissions, the limit requirements for NO x and other pollutants have been increased, and a new limit for N2O pollutant has been added.

[0003] Although there are many methods for reducing N2O pollutants in the prior art, for example, CN114658558A discloses a method, device, and vehicle for reducing N2O in vehicle exhaust. The method includes: obtaining the outlet temperature and space velocity value of a catalytic oxidizer; determining whether a diesel particulate filter is in an active regeneration state; and adjusting combustion parameters to reduce the N2O emissions in vehicle exhaust when the outlet temperature is within a preset temperature range, the space velocity value is less than a preset space velocity threshold, and the diesel particulate filter is in an active regeneration state.

[0004] CN115487859A discloses an N2O catalyst and a vehicle exhaust treatment system. The N2O catalyst includes a substrate and a catalyst coating coated on the substrate. The catalyst coating includes an N2O adsorption layer and an N2O decomposition layer; the N2O adsorption layer includes an N2O adsorbent, and the N2O adsorbent includes a molecular sieve and a noble metal; the N2O decomposition layer includes an N2O catalytic decomposition agent, and the N2O catalytic decomposition agent includes at least one of iron oxide, cobalt oxide, aluminum oxide, barium oxide, magnesium oxide, silicon oxide, strontium oxide, tin oxide, and germanium oxide. The provided N2O catalyst can absorb N2O in the exhaust gas by the N2O adsorption layer at a temperature lower than a certain temperature and release it at a temperature higher than a certain temperature, and then the catalyst in the N2O decomposition layer can decompose N2O into non-pollutants under the high temperature condition provided by a heating device. By adopting the method of low-temperature adsorption combined with high-temperature decomposition, it has the advantage of high N2O conversion efficiency and can reduce N2O emissions during vehicle cold start and the entire operation process.

[0005] In summary, the existing measures for reducing N2O emissions mainly include regulating engine process parameters or introducing new catalysts. However, introducing new catalysts will significantly increase costs and is not conducive to popularization and use. Therefore, controlling engine process parameters is an economical and efficient method for regulating N2O emissions.

However, the following examples are merely simple examples of the present invention and do not represent or limit the scope of the protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the claims. Detailed Embodiments

[0041] To better illustrate the present invention and facilitate understanding of its technical solutions, typical but non-limiting embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0042] This embodiment provides a control method for reducing N2O emissions in an engine, and the process is as Figure 1 shown. The emission control method includes:

[0043] Control the post-processing SCR inlet temperature ≥ 250℃;

[0044] Adjust the conversion efficiency of the front oxidation catalyst to control NO x The volume percentage of NO2 is 30-50%;

[0045] Closed-loop control adjusts the ammonia nitrogen ratio to make NH3 / NO x The molar ratio is (0.8-1.2):1;

[0046] Control NO in the original engine emissions x The emission is ≤12g / kWh.

[0047] In the present invention, during the control process, the post-processing SCR inlet temperature is controlled to be ≥250°C. For example, the temperature can be controlled to be 250°C, 260°C, 270°C, 280°C, 290°C, 300°C, 320°C, 340°C, 360°C, 380°C or 400°C, but is not limited to the listed values. Other values not listed in this range also meet the requirements.

[0048] In the present invention, the control process controls NO x The volume proportion of NO2 is 30-50%, for example, it can be 30%, 32%, 34%, 36%, 38%, 40%, 42%, 44%, 46%, 48% or 50%, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the range also meet the requirements.

[0049] In the present invention, the closed-loop control during the control process adjusts the ammonia nitrogen ratio so that NH3 / NO x The molar ratio is (0.8-1.2):1, for example, it can be 0.8:1, 0.85:1, 0.9:1, 0.95:1, 1:1, 1.05:1, 1.1:1, 1.15:1 or 1.2:1, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the range also meet the requirements.

[0050] In the present invention, the NO in the original emission of the engine is controlled during the control process. x The emission amount is ≤12g / kWh, for example, it can be 12g / kWh, 11.5g / kWh, 11g / kWh, 10.5g / kWh, 10g / kWh, 9.5g / kWh, 9g / kWh, 8.5g / kWh, 8g / kWh, 7.5g / kWh, 7g / kWh, 6.5g / kWh, 6g / kWh, 5.5g / kWh or 5g / kWh, but is not limited to the listed values. Other values not listed in the range also meet the requirements.

[0051] Wherein, the method of controlling the post-processing SCR inlet temperature includes: EGR control strategy or thermal management strategy.

[0052] In the present invention, the EGR control strategy is the exhaust gas recirculation process, specifically: the introduced exhaust gas dilutes the oxygen concentration in the intake air, which means that relatively more fuel burns in the cylinder, generating more heat, thereby increasing the exhaust gas temperature. On the other hand, the introduced exhaust gas slows down the combustion speed, prolonging the combustion process and increasing the afterburning phenomenon, that is, the combustion process continues during the expansion stroke, and more fuel burns during the downward movement of the piston, thus increasing the exhaust gas temperature.

[0053] Among them, the thermal management strategy includes: electric heating and / or post-injection of fuel.

[0054] In the present invention, the electric heating refers to adding an electric heating EHC arrangement between the engine and the after-treatment SCR system to achieve the control of the SCR inlet temperature; specifically, when the pre-stage SCR inlet temperature is lower than the threshold (≥250 °C), the electric heating is started, and the electric heating heats the exhaust gas through a resistance wire. After the pre-stage SCR inlet temperature is higher than the threshold (≥250 °C), the electric heating is turned off.

[0055] In the present invention, the post-injection of fuel refers to the far post-injection control strategy of the diesel generator fuel supply system, and the DOC is ignited to improve the management of the SCR system inlet temperature; specifically, when the pre-stage SCR inlet temperature is lower than the threshold (≥250 °C), the injector performs near post-injection. The near post-injected fuel burns insufficiently in the cylinder, increasing the exhaust gas temperature by a large amount of heat. After the pre-stage SCR inlet temperature is higher than the threshold (≥250 °C), the near post-injection function is stopped.

[0056] Among them, the adjustment method for adjusting the conversion efficiency of the front-stage oxidation catalyst includes: adjusting the pre-stage SCR temperature and / or the pre-stage SCR space velocity. Specifically, the adjustment process principle is as follows: adjust the pre-stage SCR temperature and space velocity conditions, set the pre-stage SCR target efficiency Eff_Dmd, and adjust the SCR inlet NO x concentration and the SCR outlet NO x concentration to obtain the pre-stage SCR actual efficiency Eff_Act. According to the pre-stage SCR target efficiency Eff_Dmd and the pre-stage SCR actual efficiency Eff_Act, obtain the efficiency difference e_Eff. Through the PID controller, obtain the pre-stage SCR urea injection ammonia-nitrogen ratio U_f, specifically as follows:

[0057]

[0058] In the formula, Kp_f is the control parameter of the proportional controller; Ki_f is the control parameter of the integral controller; Kd_f is the control parameter of the differential controller; t is the controller operation time; U_f is the pre-stage SCR urea injection ammonia-nitrogen ratio.

[0059] Among them, according to the NO at the inlet of the pre-stage SCR x sensor measurement value NO x1 , the NO at the outlet of the pre-stage SCR x sensor measurement value NO x2 , calculate the conversion efficiency of the pre-stage SCR Eff = |NO x1 -NO x2 | / NO x1 .

[0060] Among them, the closed-loop control to adjust the ammonia-nitrogen ratio includes: efficiency closed-loop feedforward and efficiency closed-loop feedback.

[0061] Among them, the efficiency closed-loop feedforward includes: according to the expected downstream NO x value, the NO at the inlet of the post-stage SCR x sensor measurement value, that is, the upstream NO x value, calculate the target efficiency of the post-stage SCR, and according to the target efficiency of the post-stage SCR, the carrier bed temperature of the post-stage SCR and the space velocity of the post-stage SCR, obtain the feedforward ammonia-nitrogen ratio of the post-stage SCR.

[0062] Among them, the expected downstream NO x value is obtained based on the rotational speed and fuel injection volume, specifically as follows:[[]]

[0063] Set the target NO x emission ratio power value x, unit g / Kwh, through universal data, obtain the engine power P under different rotational speeds and fuel injection volumes, unit kW, the expected downstream NO x mass flow rate NO x _Dmd = target NO x emission ratio power value x × engine power P, that is:[[]]

[0064] NO x _Dmd[g / h] = x[g / kWh] × P[kW].[[]]

[0065] Among them, the efficiency closed-loop feedback includes: by taking the difference between the actual efficiency of the SCR and the target efficiency of the post-stage SCR, and passing through a PID controller to obtain the feedback control ammonia-nitrogen ratio NH3 / NO x , specifically as follows:[[]]

[0066] By taking the difference between the actual efficiency of the SCR and the target efficiency of the post-stage SCR, obtain the efficiency deviation e. The PID controller consists of a proportional controller, an integral controller and a derivative controller. The PID controller obtains the feedback control ammonia-nitrogen ratio in the following way:[[]]

[0067]

[0068] In the formula, K p is the control parameter of the proportional controller; e is the efficiency deviation; Ki is the integral controller control parameter; K d is the derivative controller control parameter; t is the controller operation time; u is the feedback control ammonia-nitrogen ratio.

[0069] Furthermore, this embodiment provides a control device for reducing N2O emissions in an engine, as Figure 2 shown, the emission control device includes:

[0070] A post-treatment SCR inlet temperature control module 100, used to control the post-treatment SCR inlet temperature ≥ 250 °C;

[0071] A conversion efficiency control module 200, used to adjust the conversion efficiency of the front-stage oxidation catalyst and control the volume ratio of NO2 in NO to be 30-50%; x

[0072] An ammonia-nitrogen ratio control module 300, used for closed-loop control to adjust the ammonia-nitrogen ratio so that the molar ratio of NH3 / NO is (0.8-1.2):1; x

[0073] A raw emission control module 400, used to control the NO emissions in the engine raw emissions to be ≤ 12 g / kWh. x

[0074] Regarding the device in the above embodiment, the specific ways in which each module performs operations have been described in detail in the embodiment related to the method, and will not be elaborated here.

[0097] Efficiency closed-loop feedforward: Obtain the expected downstream NO x value by looking up the rotational speed and fuel injection amount, combine it with the upstream NO x value to obtain the target efficiency of the post-stage SCR, and look up the feedforward ammonia-nitrogen ratio of the post-stage SCR according to the target efficiency of the post-stage SCR, the bed temperature of the post-stage SCR, and the space velocity of the post-stage SCR.

[0098] Efficiency closed-loop feedback: Subtract the actual efficiency of the SCR from the target efficiency of the post-stage SCR, and obtain the feedback control ammonia-nitrogen ratio (NH3 / NO x ) through a PID controller, and superimpose the feedforward and feedback ammonia-nitrogen ratios to output the final ammonia-nitrogen ratio.

[0099] Optimize the calibration to control the original engine emissions: Reduce the original engine emissions through the engine control strategy (such as changing the fuel injection advance angle), which can reduce the urea injection amount, thereby reducing the generation of NH3 and also reducing the generation of N2O.

[0100] Through the above regulations, the N2O emissions in the exhaust gas generated by this engine system can be ≤195 kg / kWh.

[0101] The N2O emission verification analysis of the dual-stage SCR scheme was carried out on a certain 13-liter engine. The measuring equipment measured multiple measuring points, namely measuring point 1 of the test, measuring point 2 of the test, and measuring point 3 of the test, simultaneously. The front and rear stages of SCR were emptied, and no urea injection was carried out in both the front and rear stages (cold + hot WHTC cycle); Test 4: Normal urea injection was carried out in the front and rear stages of SCR (cold + hot WHTC cycle); The test verified that N2O generation is an intermediate product in the SCR catalytic reaction path. At the same time, by optimizing the original exhaust and urea injection control strategies to accurately control the ammonia-nitrogen ratio, the result of Test 4, 153.2 mg / kWh, was achieved, meeting the requirement of being less than the target limit of 195 mg / kWh. The process is as Figure 6 shown.
