Compared to internal combustion engines using fuels like diesel and gasoline, hydrogen engines use carbon-free hydrogen as fuel. Theoretically, they produce no greenhouse gases or pollutants such as carbon dioxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons, making them a clean power system. However, hydrogen combustion is not as stable as fuels like diesel and gasoline. In cases of incomplete combustion or misfire, hydrogen engines will emit unburned hydrogen.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The terms used in the implementation methods of the present application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0019] The embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, with the development of technology and the emergence of new scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0020] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the terms used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, and this is merely a way of distinguishing the objects of the same attributes when describing them in the embodiments of the present application. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, so that the process, method, system, product or equipment comprising a series of units need not be limited to those units, but may include other units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0021] An engine's aftertreatment system is an exhaust purification system located at the engine's exhaust port. It typically includes a DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) and an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction). Using a catalyst, the engine's exhaust gas undergoes a series of reactions, removing harmful pollutants or particulate matter from the exhaust or converting them into harmless water, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. Hydrogen engines still emit a small amount of nitrogen oxides, which react within the SCR. Furthermore, under transient operating conditions, cold starts, and misfires, unburned hydrogen may be emitted (hydrogen is not an atmospheric pollutant, but is a dangerous explosive). Therefore, a DOC is required to oxidize the hydrogen and further reduce hydrogen leakage from the exhaust.

[0022] Currently, the most common method for detecting hydrogen leaks is to use an oxygen sensor or nitrogen oxide sensor installed in the aftertreatment system. Based on the measured oxygen concentration and humidity, the amount of unburned hydrogen emitted by the hydrogen engine is calculated. This method relies on the nitrogen oxide sensor or oxygen sensor. To prevent condensation from affecting sensor performance, both sensors must meet dew point release conditions, such as an exhaust temperature greater than 200°C. This results in hydrogen leak detection not covering all operating conditions of hydrogen engines and no longer meeting the requirements for real-time detection.

[0023] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for controlling hydrogen leakage. The method for controlling hydrogen leakage of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a hydrogen leakage control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, a hydrogen leakage control method provided in an embodiment of the present application may include steps 101 to 102, and these steps are described in detail below.

[0025] 101. Determine a first hydrogen leakage rate in the hydrogen engine and a second hydrogen leakage rate in the exhaust gas based on a temperature difference between an inlet and an outlet of the oxidation catalyst and a hydrogen supply rate of the hydrogen engine.

[0026] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown in the structural diagram of the post-processing system, temperature sensors are respectively provided before and after the DOC to monitor the temperatures at the inlet and outlet of the DOC, thereby obtaining the temperature difference between the two ends of the DOC. Based on the temperature difference, the actual heat generated on the DOC can be obtained according to the corresponding heat calculation formula of the DOC.

[0027] Then, based on the theoretical heat that can be generated on the DOC according to the predetermined hydrogen supply amount of the hydrogen engine, the conversion efficiency of the oxidation catalyst can be obtained according to the above actual heat and the theoretical heat.

[0028] Based on the conversion efficiency of the oxidation catalyst, the first hydrogen leakage rate of the hydrogen engine and the second hydrogen leakage rate in the exhaust after DOC can be calculated using the corresponding formula. Specifically, the first hydrogen leakage rate = theoretical calorific value ÷ conversion efficiency ÷ hydrogen calorific value. The second hydrogen leakage rate = theoretical calorific value ÷ (1 - conversion efficiency) ÷ hydrogen calorific value.

[0029] 102. Determine the severity of the hydrogen leakage based on the first hydrogen leakage amount and the second hydrogen leakage amount, and adjust the operating state of the hydrogen engine based on an adjustment strategy corresponding to the severity.

[0030] In one embodiment, based on the measured first hydrogen leakage amount of the hydrogen engine and the second hydrogen leakage amount in the exhaust gas after DOC, a corresponding adjustment strategy can be determined according to the severity of the two hydrogen leakage amounts to adjust the operating state of the hydrogen engine, thereby reducing hydrogen leakage and improving the safety and reliability of the hydrogen engine.

[0031] The severity of hydrogen leakage can be determined based on the leakage concentration of hydrogen. Usually, there is a risk of explosion when the concentration is greater than 4%. Therefore, different adjustment strategies are specified based on this standard to adjust the operation of the hydrogen engine.

[0032] As can be seen above, this hydrogen leakage control method can determine the hydrogen leakage situation based on the temperature difference before and after the DOC and the hydrogen supply to the hydrogen engine. It can then use different adjustment strategies to adjust the operation of the hydrogen engine according to the leakage level, ensuring the safe operation of the hydrogen engine. Furthermore, compared with existing detection methods based on oxygen sensors or nitrogen oxide sensors, this method can cover more operating conditions of hydrogen engines and has a wider range of applications.

[0033] In another embodiment, to further ensure the accuracy and reliability of hydrogen leak detection, the following processing is further included before determining the first hydrogen leakage amount in the hydrogen engine and the second hydrogen leakage amount in the exhaust gas based on the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the oxidation catalyst and the hydrogen supply amount of the hydrogen engine: It is determined whether the temperature difference is greater than the leakage measurement value and whether the leakage control enable condition is met.

[0034] When it is determined that the temperature difference is not greater than the leakage measurement value and / or the leakage control enabling condition is not satisfied, the process of determining the first hydrogen leakage amount in the hydrogen engine and the second hydrogen leakage amount in the exhaust gas based on the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the oxidation catalyst and the hydrogen supply of the hydrogen engine is no longer executed.

[0035] Specifically, the leakage control enabling conditions may include: a hydrogen supply greater than a supply threshold, an oxidation catalyst inlet temperature greater than a temperature threshold, and a duration of the hydrogen engine being in a target operating condition greater than a duration threshold.

[0036] For example, if the hydrogen supply to the hydrogen engine is greater than 500 kg / h, the oxidation catalyst inlet temperature is greater than 150°C, and the engine is in a stable operating state for at least 5 seconds, the leakage control enabling conditions can be determined to be met, and subsequent hydrogen leak detection can be carried out. The stable operating state can be characterized by the speed change rate and torque change rate of the hydrogen engine. For example, a speed change rate of less than 500 rpm / s or a torque change rate of less than 300 Nm / s can be determined to be a stable operating state.

[0037] Furthermore, to ensure the accuracy of hydrogen leakage detection, it is necessary to limit the temperature difference between the two ends of the DOC. For example, when the temperature difference is not less than 30°C, hydrogen leakage detection will obtain more accurate and reliable results.

[0038] It is understandable that the execution order of whether the above temperature difference is greater than the leakage measurement value and whether the leakage control enabling condition is met can be adjusted as needed, and the content of the above conditions can be adjusted and selected as needed, which is not limited here.

[0039] In some embodiments, determining the first hydrogen leakage amount in the hydrogen engine and the second hydrogen leakage amount in the exhaust gas based on the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the oxidation catalyst and the hydrogen supply amount of the hydrogen engine may specifically include: Step 11: Determine the conversion efficiency of the oxidation catalyst according to the temperature difference and the hydrogen supply.

[0040] Step 12: Determine a first hydrogen leakage amount and a second hydrogen leakage amount according to a theoretical calorific value corresponding to the hydrogen supply amount and the conversion efficiency.

[0041] Specifically, based on the obtained temperature difference, the actual calorific value of the oxidation catalyst can be determined according to the heat calculation formula. The conversion efficiency is then determined based on the ratio of the theoretical calorific value to the actual calorific value.

[0042] The actual calorific value can be calculated using the heat calculation formula: Q = CMT, where C represents the exhaust gas specific heat capacity, M represents the amount of hydrogen, and T represents the temperature change, or the temperature difference (temperature before and after DOC). If both M and C are known, the actual calorific value can be obtained based on the temperature difference. The theoretical calorific value can be calculated based on a pre-calibrated theoretical calorific value corresponding to a certain amount of hydrogen, resulting in conversion efficiency = theoretical calorific value ÷ actual calorific value.

[0043] In other embodiments, to improve the safety and reliability of the operation of the hydrogen engine, the above step 102, determining the severity of the hydrogen leakage based on the first hydrogen leakage amount and the second hydrogen leakage amount, and adjusting the operating state of the hydrogen engine based on the adjustment strategy corresponding to the severity, may specifically include: If the first hydrogen leakage amount and the second hydrogen leakage amount are both within the leakage range, the operating parameters of the hydrogen engine are adjusted on the premise that the safety boundary conditions of the hydrogen engine are met.

[0044] If the first hydrogen leakage amount and / or the second hydrogen leakage amount exceeds a maximum value of the leakage range, the hydrogen supply to the hydrogen engine is cut off.

[0045] Specifically, when both the first and second hydrogen leakage rates are between 1% and 4%, the excess air coefficient, EGR rate, and other parameters can be reduced based on the hydrogen leakage rate, while ensuring that the safety boundary conditions of the hydrogen engine (such as the hydrogen engine does not experience detonation) are met, thereby reducing the hydrogen leakage rate. The excess air coefficient refers to the ratio of the actual amount of air supplied to fuel combustion to the theoretical amount of air. This can be reduced by adjusting the hydrogen nozzle angle, the fuel-air mixture ratio, and other factors to optimize the combustion process and reduce the additional air demand caused by incomplete combustion. The EGR rate is the ratio of the amount of recirculated exhaust gas to the total amount of intake air drawn into the cylinder. The EGR rate can be reduced by controlling the EGR valve opening.

[0046] When any of the above hydrogen leakage exceeds 4%, due to the high risk of explosion, the hydrogen supply to the hydrogen engine can be cut off and the user will be prompted to shut down.

[0047] Considering the risk of excessive hydrogen leakage, such as explosions caused by heating of the NOx sensor and resulting in hardware damage, a combustion parameter adjustment function can be enabled, for example, for pre-intervention before misfire diagnosis. When tail-exhaust hydrogen leakage exceeds a certain value, a protection function is activated, implementing torque limitation or hydrogen injection intervention to protect the reliability and safety of the engine and aftertreatment.

[0048] As a specific application of the above hydrogen leakage control method, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the following processing procedures may be specifically included: After the hydrogen engine starts running, it is first confirmed whether the hydrogen engine meets the above-mentioned leakage control enabling conditions. If the leakage control enabling conditions are met, it is determined whether the temperature difference is greater than the leakage measurement value. If it is greater than the leakage measurement value, the first hydrogen leakage amount in the hydrogen engine and the second hydrogen leakage amount in the exhaust gas are determined based on the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the oxidation catalyst and the hydrogen supply of the hydrogen engine.

[0049] If the first hydrogen leakage amount and the second hydrogen leakage amount are both within the leakage range, the operating parameters of the hydrogen engine are adjusted on the premise that the safety boundary conditions of the hydrogen engine are met.

[0050] If the first hydrogen leakage amount and / or the second hydrogen leakage amount exceeds a maximum value of the leakage range, the hydrogen supply to the hydrogen engine is cut off.

And, The operating state adjustment module 402 is configured to determine the severity of the hydrogen leakage according to the first hydrogen leakage amount and the second hydrogen leakage amount, and adjust the operating state of the hydrogen engine based on an adjustment strategy corresponding to the severity.
