Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an internal combustion engine having a pyrolysis gas generating cylinder and an exhaust gas purifying system,

The present invention relates to an internal combustion engine having a pyrolytic gas generating cylinder and an exhaust gas purifying system, and more particularly to a pyrolytic gas generating cylinder for pyrolyzing a fuel and an internal combustion engine having an exhaust gas purifying system capable of efficiently reducing nitrogen oxides .

Converted into the carbon monoxide (CO), harmful substances discharged from the engine, a hydrocarbon (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) carbon dioxide (CO 2) to harmless substances such as water (H 2 O), and nitrogen (N 2), etc. An exhaust gas purifying system using a three-way catalyst is generally used.

The three way catalyst is a catalytic converter using platinum, palladium, rhodium, etc., which combines oxidation and reduction. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) act as an oxidizing agent for carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) in the three-way catalyst, while keeping the mixing ratio at the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio so that oxygen is not left in the exhaust gas and the exhaust temperature is maintained at a sufficiently high temperature. (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) can act as reducing agents for nitrogen oxides (NOx) to simultaneously reduce carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx).

On the other hand, in order for the three-way catalyst to fully exhibit its capability, the mixture ratio of air and fuel should always be kept close to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. When the air-fuel ratio becomes lean, the reduction rate of nitrogen oxides (NOx), that is, the reduction ratio of nitrogen oxides (NOx), becomes low.

Currently, gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines and compression ignition diesel engines among various types of engines are attracting attention because they can achieve relatively high fuel efficiency.

The gasoline direct injection engine and the diesel engine have a common fuel consumption ratio when they are burned at a lean air-fuel ratio. However, it is difficult to sufficiently reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) by using a three-way catalyst under the condition of operating at a lean air-fuel ratio. Therefore, gasoline direct injection engines and diesel engines additionally use a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reactor or a nitrogen oxide removal apparatus (Lean NOx Trap, LNT) in order to reduce nitrogen oxides.

The nitrogen oxide removal equipment (LNT) stores nitrogen oxides (NOx) in a wash coat during operation with a lean air-fuel ratio, operates at a rich air-fuel ratio for a short period of time, (NOx) is reduced to nitrogen which is harmless to the human body.

Therefore, conventionally, the lean air-fuel ratio operation and the rich air-fuel ratio operation have to be repeated periodically in order to use the nitrogen oxide removal device (LNT), so there is a problem that the fuel is wasted and the quietness of operation is lowered.

In addition, the selective catalytic reduction reactor requires urea to produce ammonia which is a reducing agent.

Therefore, conventionally, in order to use the selective catalytic reduction reactor, a separate urea water supply device for supplying urea and a device for decomposing urea water into ammonia have been required.

And the urea is frozen at a temperature of minus 11 degrees Celsius, there is a problem that the use of the urea is restricted in a low temperature environment.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an internal combustion engine having a pyrolysis gas generating cylinder and an exhaust gas purifying system capable of efficiently reducing nitrogen oxides.

The present invention may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

The drawings are schematic and illustrate that they are not drawn to scale. The relative dimensions and ratios of the parts in the figures are shown exaggerated or reduced in size for clarity and convenience in the figures, and any dimensions are merely illustrative and not restrictive. And to the same structure, element or component appearing in more than one drawing, the same reference numerals are used to denote similar features.

The embodiments of the present invention specifically illustrate ideal embodiments of the present invention. As a result, various variations of the illustration are expected. Thus, the embodiment is not limited to any particular form of the depicted area, but includes modifications of the form, for example, by manufacture.

Hereinafter, an internal combustion engine 501 having a pyrolysis gas generating cylinder and an exhaust gas purifying system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The internal combustion engine 501 according to one embodiment of the present invention can be applied to various technical fields such as an automobile, a ship, or an industrial plant.

1, an internal combustion engine 501 having a pyrolysis gas generating cylinder and an exhaust gas purifying system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an engine body 101, an electric motor 910, (Lean NOx Trap, LNT) < / RTI >

In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of main cylinders 110 may be provided and generate mechanical power by burning the hydrocarbon-based fuel.

The main cylinder 110 is provided with an intake valve and an exhaust valve. A mixer in which air and fuel are mixed through the intake valve may be introduced into the main cylinder 110 or the intake valve may be supplied only with air and the fuel may be supplied by a separate fuel injector provided in the main cylinder 110. [ When such a mixture is compressed at a high pressure in the main cylinder 110 and then ignited and burned, a power due to the explosive force is generated. The mixture combusted in the main cylinder 110 is exhausted to the outside of the main cylinder 110 through the exhaust valve.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the mixing ratio of the air supplied to the main cylinder 110 and the hydrocarbon-based fuel is 14.7: 1 or more, which is the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. That is, the main cylinder 110 burns the mixer under the lean air-fuel ratio condition.

However, the main cylinder 110 may instantaneously or temporarily burn the mixer under a rich air-fuel ratio condition. This means that the main cylinder 110 basically operates under a lean air-fuel ratio condition in an ideal situation, but may be operated temporarily under a rich air-fuel ratio condition depending on the situation.

Further, the main piston 115 linearly reciprocates in the main cylinder through four stroke cycles of intake, compression, expansion, and exhaust.

The main crankshaft 119 converts the linear reciprocating force of the main piston 115 into rotational force to transmit power.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder 120 is supplied with a mixer in which air and a hydrocarbon-based fuel are mixed, and pyrolyzes the fuel in an environment of high temperature and high pressure.

That is, the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder 120 pyrolyzes the mixer under a rich air-fuel ratio condition.

The air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture supplied to the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder 120 can be adjusted so that the optimum pyrolysis gas can be generated according to the type of fuel, the compression ratio, the engine speed, and the like.

An ignition device, an intake valve, and an exhaust valve are also provided in the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder 120, and the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder 120 basically has the same structure as the main cylinder 110. However, the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder 120 has a relatively smaller volume than the main cylinder 110, and pyrolyzes the air-fuel mixture at a low-speed high load condition.

The pyrolysis piston 125 also reciprocates linearly in the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder 120 through four stroke cycles of intake, compression, expansion, and exhaust.

The pyrolysis crankshaft 129 is connected to power exchange with the pyrolysis piston 125.

The clutch 128 is provided between the main crankshaft 119 and the pyrolytic crankshaft 129 and selectively transmits power. That is, the clutch 128 may connect the main crankshaft 119 and the pyrolytic crankshaft 129 to transmit power or shut off power transmission.

The clutch 128 is connected to the pyrolysis crankshaft 129 and the main crankshaft 119 at a speed reduction ratio such that the pyrolysis crankshaft 129 is rotated at a lower speed than the main crankshaft 119 when the pyrolysis crankshaft 129 is connected to the main crankshaft 119, The crankshaft 119 can be connected.

The electric motor 910 may be connected to the pyrolysis crankshaft 129 to receive rotational power from the pyrolysis crankshaft 129 or to supply the rotational power to the pyrolysis crankshaft 129.

The capacitor 980 stores electric power generated by the electric motor 910 and supplies electricity stored in the electric motor 910 to the electric motor 910.

A converter 950 is disposed between the electric motor 910 and the capacitor 980 to convert the kind of current. That is, the converter 950 converts the AC power generated by the electric motor 910 into DC power and transmits the DC power to the capacitor 980, converts the DC power of the capacitor 980 into AC power, .

In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, an electronic control unit (ECU) 700 receives information from the nitrogen oxide concentration sensor 722 and adjusts the amount of fuel supplied to the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder 120 To control the air-fuel ratio, and controls the electric motor 910. At this time, the control device 700 can directly control the electric motor 910 or can control the electric motor 910 through the converter 950.

That is, the controller 700 controls the amount of fuel supplied to the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder 120 and controls the rotation speed of the pyrolysis crankshaft 129 through the electric motor 910 to control the selective catalytic reduction reactor 510, The amount and condition of pyrolysis gas is controlled so that ammonia can be produced in a required amount.

The control device 700 can control the clutch 128 and the electric motor 910 to start the engine body 101 with the electric motor 910.

Specifically, when the engine body 101 is started, the control device 700 controls the clutch 128 to shut off power transmission between the main crankshaft 119 and the pyrolytic crankshaft 129, and the pyrolytic crankshaft 129 The electric power generated by the electric motor 910 can be stored in the capacitor 980.

The electric motor 910 can be used to start the engine body 101 by the clutch 128 disposed between the main crankshaft 119 and the pyrolytic crankshaft 129 and the engine body 101 The power coupling between the pyrolysis crankshaft 129 and the main crankshaft 119 is cut off and the rotary power generated in the pyrolysis cylinder 120 is recovered and stored. In addition, kinetic energy of the vehicle may be recovered at the time of deceleration and stored in the capacitor 980 as electric energy.

The main exhaust passage 220 discharges the exhaust gas discharged from the main cylinder 110 of the engine body 101 to the outside.

A nitrogen oxide removal equipment (Lean NOx Trap, LNT) 510 is installed on the main exhaust passage 220. That is, the main exhaust passage 220 connects the main cylinder 110 of the engine main body 101 and the nitrogen oxide removal apparatus (LNT) 510.

The pyrolysis gases in the pyrolysis gas generated cylinder 120 is carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), hydrogen (H 2), water (H 2 O), carbon dioxide (CO 2), nitrogen (N 2), oxygen ( O 2 ), nitrogen oxides (NO x), or ammonia (NH 3 ).

That is, hydrogen (H 2 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) among the pyrolysis gas supplied through the pyrolysis gas supply passage 230 can be used as a reducing agent for removing nitrogen oxides from the LNT 510.

In addition, the nitrogen oxide removal equipment (LNT) 510 may oxidize hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the pyrolysis gas to generate hydrogen (H 2 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). To this end, the nitrogen oxide removal equipment (LNT) 510 may further include an oxidation catalyst in addition to the storage catalyst.

As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the nitrogen oxide removal equipment (LNT) 510 includes exhaust gas discharged from the main cylinder 110 of the engine body 101 and moving through the main exhaust passage 220, A nitrogen oxide (NOx) may be occluded and then removed using a pyrolysis gas discharged from the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder 120 of the engine body 101 and traveling through the pyrolysis gas supply passage 230.

On the other hand, the intake passage 210 can also supply a mixer to the main cylinder 110.

In FIG. 1, one intake passage 210 is shown as supplying a mixture to the main cylinder 110 and the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder 120, but this is merely exemplary. In other words, the mixer can be separately supplied to the main cylinder 110 and the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder 120 through the separate intake passage 210, or a separate fuel can be supplied to the main cylinder 110 or the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder 120 The injector can be provided to supply the fuel.

With such a construction, the internal combustion engine 501 having the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder and the exhaust gas purifying system according to the embodiment of the present invention not only can efficiently reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx), but also purifies the exhaust gas as a whole .

Specifically, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the pyrolysis gas generating cylinder 120 of the engine main body 101 pyrolyzes a fuel-air mixture at a rich air-fuel ratio condition, LNT, < / RTI > 510).

According to the embodiment of the present invention, since the main cylinder 110 of the engine main body 101 can always operate in the lean operation condition without periodically operating the lean air-fuel ratio operation and the rich air-fuel ratio operation repeatedly, The overall fuel economy of the vehicle can be improved, and the quietness of driving can be maintained.

1, the internal combustion engine 501 having a pyrolysis gas generating cylinder and an exhaust gas purifying system may further include a three-way catalytic converter, a soot filtration filter, a diesel oxidation catalytic converter, and the like provided on the main exhaust passage 220 .
