Description
L'invention concerne les filtres à particules, et en particulier les procédés de régénération d'un filtre à particules par injection de gazole dans les gaz d'échappement.The invention relates to particulate filters, and in particular to methods for regenerating a particulate filter by injecting diesel fuel into the exhaust gas.
Les gaz d'échappement des moteurs à combustion interne équipant la plupart des véhicules automobiles contiennent un certain nombre de polluants dont il est souhaitable de réduire les rejets dans l'atmosphère (notamment des oxydes d'azote, du monoxyde de carbone, des hydrocarbures imbrûlés, des particules et du dioxyde de carbone). Les réglementations applicables en matière de pollution par des véhicules automobiles abaissent régulièrement les plafonds de rejets acceptables.The exhaust gases from internal combustion engines fitted to most motor vehicles contain a certain number of pollutants, the release of which into the atmosphere is desirable (in particular nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, unburnt hydrocarbons , particles and carbon dioxide). The regulations applicable to pollution from motor vehicles regularly lower the limits of acceptable discharges.
Une grande partie des polluants générés par un moteur à combustion interne est due à une combustion incomplète du carburant. Une première stratégie de réduction des rejets polluants consiste à réduire la quantité des polluants pénétrant dans la ligne d'échappement. Une deuxième stratégie de réduction des rejets polluants consiste à réaliser un post-traitement des gaz traversant la ligne d'échappement.Much of the pollutants generated by an internal combustion engine are due to incomplete combustion of the fuel. A first strategy for reducing pollutant releases consists in reducing the quantity of pollutants entering the exhaust line. A second strategy for reducing pollutant releases consists of post-treatment of the gases crossing the exhaust line.
Pour réaliser un post-traitement, la plupart des véhicules sont désormais équipés d'un convertisseur catalytique comprenant un catalyseur d'oxydation (pour oxyder le monoxyde de carbone et les hydrocarbures imbrûlés) et un catalyseur de réduction (pour réduire les oxydes d'azote).To carry out post-treatment, most vehicles are now fitted with a catalytic converter comprising an oxidation catalyst (to oxidize carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbons) and a reduction catalyst (to reduce nitrogen oxides ).
Le catalyseur d'oxydation est constitué par un boîtier monté dans la ligne d'échappement. Le boîtier renferme un support ou substrat revêtu d'un matériau actif. Le substrat est généralement constitué d'un corps monolithique en céramique en forme de nid d'abeille formant des canaux destinés à être traversés par les gaz d'échappement. Les principaux composants du corps sont généralement de l'alumine ou des alumino-silicates dopés par de la zircone (cordiérite, mullite, mullite-zircone). Le revêtement en matériaux actifs peut être composé de métaux précieux combinés tels que le platine, le palladium ou le rhodium.The oxidation catalyst consists of a housing mounted in the exhaust line. The housing contains a support or substrate coated with an active material. The substrate generally consists of a monolithic ceramic body in the form of a honeycomb forming channels intended to be traversed by the exhaust gases. The main components of the body are generally alumina or alumino-silicates doped with zirconia (cordierite, mullite, mullite-zirconia). The coating of active materials can be composed of combined precious metals such as platinum, palladium or rhodium.
Du fait que les moteurs diesel produisent une plus grande quantité de particules, les lignes d'échappement incluent le plus souvent un filtre à particules destiné à piéger des particules solides ou liquides constituées essentiellement de suies ou de gouttelettes d'huile. Pour éviter l'encrassement du filtre à particules, celui-ci doit être régénéré épisodiquement par brûlage des particules piégées. Le brûlage est réalisé par augmentation de la température des gaz d'échappement au-delà de 550° C.Since diesel engines produce a higher amount of particles, the exhaust systems most often include a particulate filter intended to trap solid or liquid particles consisting essentially of soot or oil droplets. To avoid fouling of the particulate filter, it must be regenerated sporadically by burning trapped particles. Burning is carried out by increasing the temperature of the exhaust gases above 550 ° C.
Pour augmenter la température des gaz d'échappement, il est notamment connu d'injecter du gazole dans les gaz d'échappement. La combustion de ce gazole au sein d'un catalyseur d'oxydation en amont du filtre permet de chauffer les gaz d'échappement et de porter transitoirement le filtre à 600°C. Cette température doit être régulée pour maintenir une température la plus stable possible, afin d'assurer une régénération rapide et efficace. Plus précisément, il est connu de réaliser des post-injections de carburant dans la chambre de combustion, c'est-à-dire de l'injection de carburant après le point mort haut.To increase the temperature of the exhaust gases, it is notably known to inject diesel fuel into the exhaust gases. The combustion of this diesel in an oxidation catalyst upstream of the filter makes it possible to heat the exhaust gases and to temporarily bring the filter to 600 ° C. This temperature must be regulated to maintain the most stable temperature possible, to ensure rapid and efficient regeneration. More specifically, it is known to perform post-fuel injections into the combustion chamber, that is to say fuel injection after the top dead center.
Les post-injections induisent un accroissement de la dilution de carburant dans l'huile de lubrification du moteur. En effet, ces injections étant réalisées postérieurement à l'explosion, une grande partie du carburant injecté se dépose sur la paroi de la chambre de combustion. Le passage de carburant vers le carter moteur via les segments du piston est alors facilité.Post-injections induce an increase in the dilution of fuel in the engine lubricating oil. In fact, these injections being carried out after the explosion, a large part of the injected fuel is deposited on the wall of the combustion chamber. The passage of fuel to the crankcase via the piston rings is then facilitated.
En conséquence, une quantité accrue de carburant se dilue dans l'huile de lubrification. Même en utilisant une huile de lubrification de bonne qualité, la présence de carburant dans cette huile engendre la chute de sa viscosité et donc de ses propriétés lubrifiantes. De plus, la pression d'huile baisse également. En outre, les additifs présents dans l'huile de lubrification subissent une dilution et un vieillissement prématurés. Pour ne pas altérer le fonctionnement et la durée de vie du moteur, les fréquences de vidange de l'huile de lubrification doivent alors être accrues, ce qui est mal perçu par l'utilisateur.As a result, more fuel is diluted in the lubricating oil. Even when using good quality lubricating oil, the presence of fuel in this oil causes its viscosity and therefore its lubricating properties to drop. In addition, the oil pressure also drops. In addition, the additives present in the lubricating oil undergo premature dilution and aging. In order not to affect the functioning and the service life of the engine, the frequency of draining the lubricating oil must then be increased, which is poorly perceived by the user.
La demande de brevet
Le document
Cependant, il serait souhaitable d'éviter autant que possible d'utiliser un mode de fonctionnement dégradé lors d'une concentration trop importante d'essence diluée dans l'huile de lubrification.However, it would be desirable to avoid, as far as possible, using a degraded operating mode during an excessive concentration of gasoline diluted in the lubricating oil.
L'invention vise à résoudre cet inconvénient. L'invention porte ainsi sur un procédé de commande d'un moteur à combustion interne muni d'un dispositif de dépollution de gaz d'échappement, le dispositif de dépollution étant régénéré périodiquement par injection de carburant dans la chambre de combustion du moteur, le procédé comprenant les étapes de :
- déterminer la distance restant à parcourir jusqu'à la prochaine vidange de l'huile de lubrification du moteur;
- sur la base de la fréquence actuelle des injections de carburant de régénération, calculer la concentration de carburant dans l'huile prévisible à la prochaine vidange ;
- si la concentration calculée dépasse un seuil prédéterminé, calculer une fréquence d'injection de régénération pour laquelle la concentration de carburant dans l'huile prévisible à la prochaine vidange est inférieure audit seuil prédéterminé, réaliser des injections de régénération avec ladite fréquence calculée.
- determine the distance remaining until the next time the engine lubricating oil is changed;
- based on the current frequency of regeneration fuel injections, calculate the concentration of fuel in the oil expected at the next oil change;
- if the calculated concentration exceeds a predetermined threshold, calculate a regeneration injection frequency for which the concentration of fuel in the oil predictable at the next oil change is less than said predetermined threshold, perform regeneration injections with said calculated frequency.
Selon une variante, le calcul de la concentration de carburant dans l'huile comprend :
- pour plusieurs composés du carburant, le calcul d'une quantité prévisible du composé dans le carburant à la prochaine vidange en fonction d'un modèle d'évaporation de ce composé ;
- le cumul des quantités prévisibles calculées pour les différents composés ;
- le calcul de la concentration prévisible de carburant dans l'huile en fonction des quantités prévisibles cumulées.

Le moteur 1 comprend par ailleurs une ligne d'échappement. La ligne d'échappement comprend un collecteur d'échappement 6. Les gaz d'échappement traversent le collecteur 6. La ligne d'échappement comprend de plus un catalyseur d'oxydation 7. Le catalyseur 7 est placé en amont d'un filtre à particules 8.The
Le module de commande 9 est avantageusement configuré pour réaliser des injections tardives dans les chambres de combustion afin d'obtenir des régénérations du filtre à particules 8. La température des gaz d'échappement entrant dans le filtre à particules 5 doit être maintenue à une température de l'ordre de 600°C durant une régénération pour permettre la combustion des suies formées par la capture des particules. Le calculateur 9 comprend une boucle de régulation de la température dans le filtre à particules 8, afin de contrôler la température induite par les injections de régénération. Le calculateur 9 détermine une consigne de température pour cette boucle de régulation et détermine en conséquence les moments et les quantités optimales de carburant pour effectuer les injections de régénération.The

A différents moments du fonctionnement du moteur 1 entre deux vidanges, le calculateur 9 effectue une vérification de la concentration de carburant dans l'huile de lubrification pour déterminer si le véhicule peut continuer à fonctionner sans encombre jusqu'à la prochaine vidange. Une telle vérification peut être effectuée à intervalles réguliers, par exemple à intervalles kilométriques réguliers, à intervalles temporels de fonctionnement réguliers, ou après chaque régénération.At different moments in the operation of the
Lors d'une étape 100, le calculateur 9 détermine qu'une vérification doit être réalisée. Le calculateur 9 détermine la distance restant à parcourir jusqu'à la prochaine vidange de l'huile de lubrification du moteur.During a
Le calculateur 9 dispose par ailleurs d'un historique des régénérations du filtre à particules 8 intervenues depuis la dernière vidange. Le calculateur 9 peut ainsi déterminer la durée et l'espacement entre les régénérations du filtre à particules 8 déjà intervenues. Le calculateur 9 peut alors déterminer la concentration de carburant actuellement présente dans l'huile de lubrification sur la base de cet historique. Le calculateur 9 peut également mémoriser une quantité de carburant diluée dans l'huile de lubrification et calculée auparavant.The
En partant de la quantité de carburant actuellement diluée dans l'huile, le calculateur 9 calcule à l'étape 102 la concentration de carburant dans l'huile prévisible à la prochaine vidange, sur la base de la fréquence actuelle des injections de régénération du filtre à particules. Le calculateur 9 détermine qu'un nombre N de régénérations du filtre à particules 8 sera réalisé sur la base de la fréquence actuelle.Starting from the quantity of fuel currently diluted in the oil, the
Dans un premier temps, le calculateur 9 calcule la quantité de carburant dans l'huile de lubrification prévisible à la prochaine vidange. Le calcul de cette quantité de carburant diluée peut être basé sur la formule suivante :
- Q(N) = quantité de carburant présente dans l'huile de lubrification dans N régénérations ;
- QIni = quantité de carburant initialement présente dans l'huile de lubrification ;
- QIntro = quantité moyenne de carburant introduite dans l'huile de lubrification durant les régénérations ;
- n = 3600/T*Tps_Evap
- Tps_Evap = intervalle moyen mesuré entre les régénérations ;
- T = temps d'échantillonnage de l'historique ;
- q = 1+ alpha*T
alpha = facteur d'évaporation moyen du carburant.
- Q (N) = quantity of fuel present in the lubricating oil in N regenerations;
- QIni = quantity of fuel initially present in the lubricating oil;
- QIntro = average amount of fuel introduced into the lubricating oil during regeneration;
- n = 3600 / T * Tps_Evap
- Tps_Evap = average interval measured between regenerations;
- T = historical sampling time;
- q = 1+ alpha * T
alpha = average fuel evaporation factor.
Ce modèle tient donc ainsi compte du nombre total de régénérations envisagées jusqu'à la prochaine vidange, ainsi que de l'évaporation du carburant intervenant durant le fonctionnement du véhicule entre deux régénérations. L'évaporation du carburant est obtenue pendant le fonctionnement du moteur 1 durant les intervalles inter-régénérations, du fait de la température de l'huile durant ce fonctionnement.This model thus takes into account the total number of regenerations envisaged until the next oil change, as well as the evaporation of the fuel occurring during the operation of the vehicle between two regenerations. The evaporation of the fuel is obtained during the operation of the
Avantageusement, le calcul de la quantité de carburant diluée envisageable est réalisée à partir d'une telle formule pour différents composés ayant des propriétés d'évaporation différentes. Les quantités distinctes des différents composés introduits seront également prises en compte. La quantité de carburant diluée dans l'huile de lubrification sera la somme des quantités calculées pour les différents composés.Advantageously, the calculation of the possible quantity of diluted fuel is carried out on the basis of such a formula for different compounds having different evaporation properties. The separate quantities of the different compounds introduced will also be taken into account. The quantity of fuel diluted in the lubricating oil will be the sum of the quantities calculated for the various compounds.
La concentration de carburant dans l'huile est ensuite calculée en divisant la quantité de carburant envisagée calculée par la quantité d'huile de lubrification présente dans le carter 3. La quantité d'huile présente dans le carter 3 peut prendre en compte la quantité introduite lors de la précédente vidange (renseignée par exemple par le technicien effectuant la vidange), ainsi que la consommation d'huile estimée pour le moteur 1. Un modèle de calcul de consommation d'huile peut être pris en compte pour ajuster la quantité d'huile présente, et peut par exemple prendre en compte la consommation d'huile mesurée lors de la précédente vidange. Un calcul de concentration de carburant dans l'huile particulièrement précis peut ainsi être obtenu.The concentration of fuel in the oil is then calculated by dividing the quantity of fuel envisaged calculated by the quantity of lubricating oil present in the
Lors de l'étape 104, la concentration en carburant dans l'huile envisagée pour la prochaine vidange est comparée à un seuil maximal. Si la concentration calculée est inférieure à ce seuil maximal, le calculateur 9 détermine que le fonctionnement du moteur 1 peut se poursuivre normalement à l'étape 110, sans risquer une casse mécanique par détérioration des propriétés de lubrification du fait de la présence de carburant dilué.During
Si la concentration calculée est supérieure à ce seuil maximal, le calculateur 9 détermine un risque pour le fonctionnement du moteur 1 avant d'avoir atteint la prochaine vidange. Le calculateur 9 décrémente alors lors d'une étape 106 le nombre de régénérations à envisager jusqu'à la prochaine vidange. Le calcul de concentration de carburant de l'étape 102 est effectué à nouveau avec la valeur décrémentée du nombre de régénérations. Ainsi, le nombre de régénérations à envisager est décrémenté jusqu'à ce que la concentration de carburant prévisible lors de la prochaine vidange soit inférieure audit seuil maximal. Avantageusement, la décrémentation du nombre de régénérations à effectuer pourra être proportionnelle à l'écart entre la concentration prévisible et le seuil maximal, afin de permettre une convergence plus rapide du calcul du nombre de régénérations à effectuer. La décrémentation pourra être effectuée en se basant sur un espacement de l'intervalle kilométrique entre les régénérations, ou en se basant sur un espacement de l'intervalle temporel entre les régénérations. L'espacement temporel entre les futures régénérations peut par exemple être calculé en se basant sur la distance moyenne entre les régénérations et sur la vitesse moyenne du véhicule entre les régénérations, ces informations pouvant être mémorisées dans un historique du calculateur 9.If the calculated concentration is above this maximum threshold, the
Lors de l'étape 108, le fonctionnement du moteur 1 se poursuit, le calculateur 9 imposant un espacement des régénérations maximum correspondant au nombre de régénérations déterminées lors de la décrémentation de la dernière étape 106. Un tel fonctionnement du moteur 1 permet de garantir que la concentration de carburant dans l'huile de lubrification sera inférieure audit seuil maximal lors de la prochaine vidange.During
L'invention permet avantageusement de protéger le moteur d'une détérioration liée à un taux de dilution trop important, de protéger le véhicule d'un risque d'incendie par surchauffe, ou d'identifier une défaillance conduisant à une concentration de carburant excessive et compensée par un non respect des normes de dépollution. L'invention permet de garantir de telles conditions de fonctionnement, sans pour autant nécessiter le fonctionnement du moteur dans un mode dégradé.The invention advantageously makes it possible to protect the engine from deterioration linked to an excessive dilution rate, to protect the vehicle from a risk of fire due to overheating, or to identify a failure leading to an excessive concentration of fuel and compensated by non-compliance with pollution control standards. The invention makes it possible to guarantee such operating conditions, without however requiring the engine to operate in a degraded mode.
