Description
- This application claims the priority of copending application Ser. No. 60/186,648 filed on Mar. 3, 2000 having the same title as the present application.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to control of turbochargers used in engines with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems, and more particularly, to an intelligent electric actuator with diagnostics and memory capabilities using turbocharger rotational speed, air and EGR gas temperatures, and air and EGR gas pressures, for control of a variable geometry turbocharger with integrated EGR valve.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Commercial diesel vehicles typically employ turbochargers for increased efficiency of the engine. Further, the regulatory requirements for decreases in federal NOx emissions levels for year 2002, and beyond, diesel engines have made engine air systems control a more complex and important part of overall engine performance. Control of the turbocharger and EGR systems of the engine comprise the primary means for such air systems management.
- A turbocharger's useful life is, among other things, largely a function of the speed/duty cycle to which it is subjected, specifically with respect to the fatigue life of the turbine wheel and compressor wheel (or perhaps an internal component of the turbocharger). It is very difficult to know exactly what particular speed/duty cycle the turbocharger is subjected to for any given application. This therefore makes it very difficult to predict what the useful life of the turbocharger will be with respect to fatigue related failures. Therefore, fatigue failures of turbocharger wheels can and do occur without notice. Proactively replacing the turbocharger at a “safe” accumulated time is not cost effective and results in excessive downtime of the engine.
- The present invention is applicable to a controlled turbocharger such as, but not limited to, a wastegated turbocharger or a variable geometry inlet nozzle turbocharger (VGT) with an actuator to operate the wastegate or VGT vane set. By inputting the turbocharger's shaft speed, air gas temperatures, air gas pressures, EGR gas temperatures, and EGR gas pressures into the intelligent electric actuator, this data can then be used as to better control the actuation of the wastegate or VNT nozzle set.
- The software employed by the controller is designed such that various min/max speeds, temperature and pressure thresholds are pre-set with the subsequent excursions of speed, temperature and pressure recorded as these thresholds are achieved and/or exceeded.
- An array of thresholds is pre-determined for the particular application. This data is stored in the actuator's memory for future use. By defining the fatigue life of the compressor wheel or turbine wheel for a given wheel design, size, material, etc., and having the specific fatigue life information programmed into the REA, several advantages exist.
- From the inputs of speed, temperature and pressure, the electric actuator is better used to more precisely control the turbocharger's wastegate or VGT nozzle set. This information is also used to control EGR percentage directly and therefore control engine out emission level more precisely.
- Once a predetermined number of speed, temperature and/or pressure thresholds have been achieved, the electric actuator can, in various embodiments, control (reduce) the speed of the turbocharger by predicting when a wheel fatigue failure is imminent.
- Once a predetermined number of speed, temperature and/or pressure thresholds have been achieved, the electric actuator can, in various embodiments, trip a switch to notify the operator to “replace the turbocharger” by predicting that a fatigue failure is imminent.
- The electric actuator can store into memory operational field data for future use in maintenance profiling of specific turbocharger operating conditions of various applications (on-highway truck, inner-city truck, pleasure craft, tug boat, front-end loader, bulldozer, mine truck, excavator, gen-set, etc.).
- The speed/duty cycle data stored in the electric actuator can be down loaded and used in the warranty adjudication process or as a diagnostic tool for failure evaluation.
- These and other features and advantages of the present invention will be appreciated as the same become better understood by reference to the following Detailed Description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of an internal combustion engine having a variable geometry turbocharger with an integrated EGR valve actuated according to the present invention;
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the control structure for the turbocharger and actuators incorporating the present invention;
- FIG. 3 is an exemplary pictorial view of an engine with a turbocharger employing actuators incorporating the present invention in conjunction with an EGR system.
- Referring now to FIG. 1, an internal combustion engine having a turbocharger and an EGR system is schematically illustrated.
Engine 10 includes anintake manifold 12 and anexhaust manifold 14. In the illustrated embodiment, the engine includes aturbocharger 16, generally comprising a turbine contained in ahousing 18 and a compressor contained in ahousing 20, for compressing the intake air ofengine 10. The intake air is heated during the turbocharger compression process and must be cooled to satisfy engine durability and performance requirements. That cooling is accomplished by routing the air discharged from theturbocharger 16 to a charger air cooler (CAC) 22 via conventional conduits or ducting 24. The intake air is then routed from the CAC to the intake manifold of the engine via conventional conduits or ducting 30. -
Engine 10 also includes an EGR system. The EGR system includes acontrol valve 34, integrated into the turbocharger in accordance with the present invention, that regulates the proportion of exhaust gas that is taken from the exhaust manifold and either returned to the engine induction system for mixing with the intake air that has passed through the CAC, or directed to the turbine of the turbocharger. Thecontrol valve 34 routes a portion of the exhaust gas received into the turbine housing from the exhaust manifold through the EGR system. - The EGR system also includes an engine mounted
EGR cooler 38 or heat exchanger for cooling the exhaust gas passing through the system. By providing a heat exchanger in the EGR conduit or ducting 40, the efficiency ofengine 10 is improved. Other advantages, such as a reduction in NOx and PM emissions and in fuel consumption also result from the presence of theheat exchanger 38. The exhaust gas passing through theheat exchanger 38 is then combined with the intake air that has passed through the CAC in anEGR mixer 42. The mixture of the intake air and exhaust gas leaves themixer 42 and enters the intake manifold of the engine. - A
variable geometry nozzle 44 in the turbocharger is utilized for back pressure in the turbine housing inlet and exhaust manifold. Aspeed sensor 46 determines the rotational speed of the turbocharger shaft and pressure/temperature sensors, generally designated 48 provide temperature and pressure at the inlet and outlet of the compressor, the inlet and outlet of the turbine and at the outlet of the EGR flow control valve for EGR differential pressure determination. A first rotary electric actuator (REA) 50 controls the nozzle vanes of the variable geometry inlet nozzle to the turbine. A second REA 52 controls the EGR valve which may be of comparable structure to that defined in the copending patent application carrying docket number 90099039 and entitled TURBOCHARGER WITH INTEGRATED EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE having a common assignee with the present application, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. - As shown in FIG. 2, the REAs are interconnected in a master/slave arrangement. The first REA for controlling the VGT vane position incorporates a
microprocessor controller 53 which receives inputs from the EGR pressure andtemperature sensor 48 a, the turbine outlet pressure and temperature sensor 48 b, the turbine inlet pressure and temperature sensor 48 c, the compressor outlet pressure and temperature sensor 48 d and the compressor inlet pressure andtemperature sensor 48 e. The engine operating condition is provided from the engine control unit (ECU) 54 through a CAN 2.0B interface to the microprocessor and an input from the speed sensor is provided from the turbocharger. Based on a predetermined matrix of sensor input conditions mapped to engine operating requirements, the microprocessor controller actuates the master REA to position thecrank arm 56 to adjust the vanes of the VGT to optimize turbocharger performance. - Additionally, the microprocessor controller receives a position signal from the second or slave REA and provides a signal to a central processing unit (CPU)58 in the second REA, based on the predetermined mapping matrix. A pulse width modulated (PWM) signal is employed in the embodiment shown. The CPU actuates the REA to position its
crank arm 60 to actuate theEGR valve 34 to control EGR flow to the engine. The master/slave arrangement provides simultaneous interactive control of the VGT for exhaust back pressure to control the EGR flow rate. - The microprocessor controller additionally selectively records data from the speed sensor and temperature pressure sensors and calculates cycle information. The microprocessor controller compares the calculated cycle data with predetermined cycle information in the mapping matrix for predicted fatigue life of the turbocharger components and, upon reaching predetermined limits actuates the first REA for a “limp home” mode or other speed limitation to preclude failure and in alternative embodiments provides an output signal for operator notification through the CAN interface.
- FIG. 3 shows a diesel engine arrangement with a turbocharger incorporating the present invention, with an alternative embodiment from that previously described, using a segregated EGR valve mounted adjacent the EGR cooler.
- Having now described the invention in detail as required by the patent statutes, those skilled in the art will recognize modifications and substitutions to the specific embodiments disclosed herein. Such modifications are within the scope and intent of the present invention as defined in the following claims.
