Description
- The present application claims priority of Korean Patent Application Number 10-2013-0157848 filed on Dec. 18, 2013, the entire contents of which application is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a regeneration technology of an exhaust emission control device, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for controlling regeneration in an exhaust emission control device capable of stably performing DPF regeneration at the time of the DPF regeneration in an S-DPF system.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- To cope with a tightening of exhaust regulations on passenger diesel car diesel, in particular, EURO6 and North American markets, it is essential to reduce NOx. In particular, in order for a passenger car to meet an exhaust regulation of the EURO6, there is a need to reduce NOx emission to about 56%, that is, NOx emission from 0.18 g/km which is the exhaust regulation of the existing EURO5 to 0.08 g/km.
- To cope with the necessity of reduction in NOx, an exhaust emission control device called as lean NOx trap (LNT) or selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to purity NOx emitted from an engine has been developed or applied worldwide.
- Among those, the SCR system, which is a method for purifying NOx by supplying a separate reducing agent (generally, urea) in front of an SCR catalyst, may be an exhaust emission control device having very large NOx purification efficiency without sacrificing fuel efficiency of a vehicle.
- The SCR system has a configuration in which a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), a diesel particulate filter (DPF), a reducing agent supply apparatus, and an SCR catalyst are generally disposed at a back stage of an engine in order.
- That is, when an appropriate quantity of reducing agent is injected into an exhaust pipe by estimating a concentration of NOx emitted at the time of an operation of the engine based on modeling or measuring the concentration of NOx using a sensor, the injected reducing agent serves to reduce and purify the NOx while reacting with the SCR catalyst.
- Meanwhile, a passenger car diesel engine has excellent fuel efficiency but is expensive and an exhaust emission control device, and the like for reducing NOx is additionally required. Therefore, an exhaust emission control device having reduced material cost and weight which having high-efficiency NOx purification performance is required.
- Therefore, to meet the demand, an S-DPF which is a combination of a function of the SCR catalyst with a function of the DPF, that is, a system in which the SCR catalyst is coated on the DPF has been researched.
- However, since the S-DPF system in which the DPF is combined with the SCR has two functions, there are many technical problems to overcome.
- Among these problems, in particular, a problem of a deterioration of the SCR catalyst at the time of active regeneration due to soot generated within the DPF which is due to heat generation at high temperature is to be overcome. Further, in injecting urea (hereinafter, referred to as a reducing agent) for purifying NOx to a front stage of the DPF, there is a difficulty in injecting the reducing agent at the time of the high-temperature active regeneration.
- In other words, unlike the existing SCR system, the S-DPF system has a configuration in which the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), the reducing agent supply apparatus, and the S-DPF (filter in which the SCR catalyst is coated on the DPF) are disposed at the back stage of the engine in order. Here, the soot accumulated within the S-DPF also needs to be periodically combusted and regenerated, like a general DPF.
- In particular, to meet the tightened exhaust regulation, there is a need to inject the reducing agent during the DPF regeneration so as to reduce NOx excessively generated at the time of the DPF regeneration.
- However, since a larger quantity of NOx is emitted during the DPF regeneration than during the general driving, a larger quantity of reducing agent needs to be injected to regenerate the NOx during the DPF regeneration.
- Here, an injection quantity of the reducing agent varies depending on a NOx quantity, temperature, and the like, in particular, a larger quantity of reducing agent is oxidized before the reducing agent reacts with the SCR catalyst due to the high temperature characteristic depending on the regeneration even though the reducing agent is injected at the time of the DPF regeneration and thus the reducing agent may not be used, and a larger quantity of reducing agent is injected due to a larger quantity of NOx.
- However, when a larger quantity of reducing agent is injected at the time of the DPF regeneration, the injected reducing agent contacts a temperature sensor installed at the front stage of the DPF in the state of an aqueous solution, and thus a precise temperature value of the front stage of the DPF may be distorted.
- That is, at the time of the regeneration of the DPF, a governor keeps a targeted regenerating target temperature using a temperature value measured by the temperature sensor at the front stage of the DPF. In the S-DPF system, a large quantity of injected reducing agent contacts the temperature sensor to temporarily reduce the temperature recognized by the temperature sensor. In this case, to adjust the target temperature in the ECU, an injection quantity of fuel is increased to adjust the temperature.
- That is, the temperature of actual exhaust gas already reaches temperature which may be regenerated but an inlet temperature of the DPF is suddenly increased due to the temporary distortion of the temperature sensor, such that the DPF may be damaged and the temperature of the temperature sensor may be continuously distorted, thereby causing the incomplete regeneration.
- The information disclosed in this Background of the Invention section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.
- Various aspects of the present invention are directed to providing an apparatus and a method for controlling regeneration of an exhaust emission control device capable of stably regenerating DPF by removing a temperature distortion at a front stage of DPF at the time of injecting a reducing agent during DPF regeneration.
- A method for controlling regeneration of an exhaust emission control device in which a diesel particulate filter (DPF) is installed at a back stage of a reducing agent supply apparatus, may include measuring temperature of a front stage of the DPF at a time of supplying a reducing agent by the reducing agent supply apparatus while regenerating the DPF, comparing a temperature value measured at the front stage of the DPF with a temperature modeling value of the front stage of the DPF depending on the regeneration of the DPF based on a map showing a relationship between the temperature value and the temperature modeling value, and controlling the regeneration of the DPF by comparing a difference between the temperature value and the temperature modeling value with a reference variation and selecting the temperature value or the temperature modeling value as the temperature of the front stage of the DPF depending on the difference.
- In the controlling of the regeneration, when the difference between the temperature value and the temperature modeling value exceeds the reference variation, the DPF is regenerated based on the temperature modeling value.
- In the controlling of the regeneration, when the difference between the temperature value and the temperature modeling value is equal to or less than the reference variation, the DPF is regenerated based on the temperature value.

DPF 3 and estimating a soot quantity within theDPF 3 due to the variable. At the time of determining the active regeneration time, the active regeneration is performed while controlling post-fuel injection and air quantity and at the same time, a reducing agent (urea) is injected to theDPF 3 side through the reducingagent supply apparatus 5 to remove NOx. - In this case, the map showing the relationship of the temperature modeling value T2 of the front stage of the DPF3 depending on the active regeneration of the
DPF 3 may be set in a control unit (ECU) 9 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - Therefore, the exemplary embodiment of the present invention calculates the difference between the temperature value T1 measured at the front stage of the
DPF 3 and the temperature modeling value T2 at the time of supplying the reducing agent along with the active regeneration of theDPF 3. The temperature value T1 measured by thetemperature sensor 7 is selected as the temperature of the front stage of theDPF 3 used to control the post-fuel injection quantity at the time of the active regeneration depending on the size of the calculated difference value or the temperature modeling value T2 is selected on the map and thus is used to control the fuel injection quantity. - Therefore, at the time of injecting the reducing agent during the regeneration of the
DPF 3, the temperature distortion at the front stage of theDPF 3 due to the reducing agent is prevented, such that the post-fuel injection quantity depending on the regeneration of the DPF3 is precisely controlled, thereby increasing the regeneration efficiency of theDPF 3. - In particular, referring to
FIG. 3 , in the controlling of the regeneration (S30) according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the difference between the temperature value T1 and the temperature modeling value T2 exceeds the reference variation ΔT, theDPF 3 may be controlled to be actively regenerated based on the temperature modeling value T2. - Further, in the controlling of the regeneration (S30), when the difference between the temperature value T1 and the temperature modeling value T2 is equal to or less than the reference variation ΔT, the
DPF 3 may be controlled to be actively regenerated based on the temperature value T1. - That is, at the time of injecting the reducing agent during the regeneration of the
DPF 3, when the difference between the temperature value T1 measured by thetemperature sensor 7 and the temperature modeling value T2 is larger than the reference variation ΔT, the post-fuel injection quantity is controlled based on the temperature modeling value T2 to prevent the serious temperature distortion at the front stage of theDPF 3 and when the difference between the temperature value T1 measured by thetemperature sensor 7 and the temperature modeling value T2 is smaller than the reference variation ΔT, the temperature distortion at the front stage of theDPF 3 is relatively small, and thus the post-fuel injection quantity is controlled based on the actually measured temperature value T1. - Therefore, the sudden increase in temperature of the front stage of the
DPF 3 may be prevented by preventing the signal distortion of thetemperature sensor 7 at the front stage of theDPF 3, thereby preventing the DPF from being damaged, the regeneration efficiency of theDPF 3 may be increased by precisely controlling the temperature of the front stage of the DPF, and the fuel quantity during the regeneration may be reduced by precisely controlling the post-fuel injection quantity to improve the fuel efficiency. - Meanwhile, the apparatus for controlling regeneration of an exhaust emission control device according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention is configure to largely include the
temperature sensor 7 and thecontrol unit 9. - In detail, the apparatus for controlling regeneration of an exhaust emission control device includes: the
temperature sensor 7 configured to measure the temperature of the front stage of theDPF 3, and the control unit configured to compare the temperature value T1 measured at the front stage of theDPF 3 with the temperature modeling value T2 of the front stage of theDPF 3 depending on the active regeneration of theDPF 3 based on the map showing the relationship between the temperature value T1 and the temperature modeling value T2 and control the regeneration of theDPF 3 by comparing the difference between the temperature value T1 and the temperature modeling value T2 with the reference variation ΔT at the time of supplying the reducing agent by the reducingagent supply apparatus 5 while actively regenerating theDPF 3 to select the temperature value T1 or the temperature modeling value T2 as the temperature of the front stage of theDPF 3 depending on the difference. - According to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the sudden increase in temperature of the front stage of the DPF may be prevented by preventing the signal distortion of the temperature sensor at the front stage of the DPF at the time of injecting the reducing agent during the DPF regeneration, thereby preventing the DPF from being damaged, the regeneration efficiency of the DPF may be increased by precisely controlling the temperature of the front stage of the DPF, and the fuel quantity during the regeneration may be reduced by precisely controlling the post-fuel injection quantity to improve the fuel efficiency.
