No. 62/302,482, filed on Mar. 2, 2016, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. This application is also related to co-pending applications titled “Bare Heating Elements for Heating Fluid Flows,” “Virtual Sensing System,” “Advanced Two-Wire Heater System for Transient Systems,” “Heater Element Having Targeted Decreasing Temperature Resistance Characteristics,” “System for Axial Zoning of Heating Power,” “Dual-Purpose Heater and Fluid Flow Measurement System,” “Heater-Actuated Flow Bypass,” and “Susceptor for Use in a Fluid Flow System,” concurrently filed herewith and commonly assigned with the present application, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
    • FIELD
  • The present disclosure relates to heating and sensing systems for fluid flow applications, for example vehicle exhaust systems, such as diesel exhaust and aftertreatment systems.
    • BACKGROUND
  • The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.
  • The use of physical sensors in transient fluid flow applications such as the exhaust system of an engine is challenging due to harsh environmental conditions such as vibration and thermal cycling. One known temperature sensor includes a mineral insulated sensor inside a thermowell that is then welded to a support bracket, which retains a tubular element. This design, unfortunately, takes a long amount of time to reach stability, and high vibration environments can result in damage to physical sensors.
  • Physical sensors also present some uncertainty of the actual resistive element temperature in many applications, and as a result, large safety margins are often applied in the design of heater power. Accordingly, heaters that are used with physical sensors generally provide lower watt density, which allows a lower risk of damaging the heater at the expense of greater heater size and cost (same heater power spread over more resistive element surface area).
  • Moreover, known technology uses an on/off control or PID control from an external sensor in a thermal control loop. External sensors have inherent delays from thermal resistances between their wires and sensor outputs. Any external sensor increases the potential for component failure modes and sets limitations of the any mechanical mount to the overall system.
  • One application for heaters in fluid flow systems is vehicle exhausts, which are coupled to an internal combustion engine to assist in the reduction of an undesirable release of various gases and other pollutant emissions into the atmosphere. These exhaust systems typically include various after-treatment devices, such as diesel particulate filters (DPF), a catalytic converter, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), a lean NOx trap (LNT), an ammonia slip catalyst, or reformers, among others. The DPF, the catalytic converter, and the SCR capture carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matters (PMs), and unburned hydrocarbons (HCs) contained in the exhaust gas. The heaters may be activated periodically or at a predetermined time to increase the exhaust temperature and activate the catalysts and/or to burn the particulate matters or unburned hydrocarbons that have been captured in the exhaust system.
  • The heaters are generally installed in exhaust pipes or components such as containers of the exhaust system. The heaters may include a plurality of heating elements within the exhaust pipe and are typically controlled to the same target temperature to provide the same heat output. However, a temperature gradient typically occurs because of different operating conditions, such as different heat radiation from adjacent heating elements, and exhaust gas of different temperature that flows past the heating elements.
  • The life of the heater depends on the life of the heating element that is under the harshest heating conditions and that would fail first. It is difficult to predict the life of the heater without knowing which heating element would fail first. To improve reliability of all the heating elements, the heater is typically designed to be operated with a safety factor to reduce and/or avoid failure of any of the heating elements. Therefore, the heating elements that are under the less harsh heating conditions are typically operated to generate a heat output that is much below their maximum available heat output.

    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present disclosure, application, or uses. It should be understood that throughout the drawings, corresponding reference numerals indicate like or corresponding parts and features.
  • Referring to FIG. 1, an exemplary engine system 10 generally includes a diesel engine 12, an alternator 14 (or generator in some applications), a turbocharger 16, and an exhaust aftertreatment system 18. The exhaust aftertreatment system 18 is disposed downstream from the turbocharger 16 for treating exhaust gases from the diesel engine 12 before the exhaust gases are released to atmosphere. The exhaust aftertreatment system 18 can include one or more additional components, devices, or systems operable to further treat exhaust fluid flow to achieve a desired result. In one form, the exhaust aftertreatment system 18 includes a heating system 20, a diesel oxidation catalyst DOC 22, a diesel particulate filter device DPF 24, and a selective catalytic reduction device SCR 26. The heating system 20 includes a heater assembly 28 disposed upstream from the DOC 22, and a heater control device 30 for controlling operation of the heater assembly 28. The exhaust aftertreatment system 18 further includes an upstream exhaust conduit 32 that receives the heater assembly 28 therein, an intermediate exhaust conduit 34 in which the DOC 22 and DPF 24 are received, and a downstream exhaust conduit 36 in which the SCR is disposed. Although a diesel engine 12 is shown, it should be understood that the teachings of the present disclosure are also applicable to a gasoline engine and other fluid flow applications. Therefore, the diesel engine application should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure.
  • The DOC 22 is disposed downstream from the heater assembly 28 and serves as a catalyst to oxide carbon monoxide and any unburnt hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas. In addition, The DOC 22 converts nitric oxide (NO) into nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The DPF 24 is disposed downstream from the DOC 22 to remove diesel particulate matter (PM) or soot from the exhaust gas. The SCR 26 is disposed downstream from the DPF 24 and, with the aid of a catalyst, converts nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen (N2) and water. A urea water solution injector 27 is disposed downstream from the DPF 24 and upstream from the SCR 26 for injecting urea water solution into the stream of the exhaust gas. When urea water solution is used as the reductant in the SCR 18, NOx is reduced into N2, H2O and CO2.
  • It should be understood that the engine system 10 illustrated and described herein is merely exemplary, and thus other components such as a NOx adsorber or ammonia oxidation catalyst, among others, may be included, while other components such as the DOC 22, DPF 24, and SCR 26 may not be employed. Further, although a diesel engine 12 is shown, it should be understood that the teachings of the present disclosure are also applicable to a gasoline engine and other fluid flow applications. Therefore, the diesel engine application should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure. Such variations should be construed as falling within the scope of the present disclosure.
  • Referring to FIG. 2, an exhaust aftertreatment system according to the teachings of the present disclosure is illustrated and generally indicated by reference numeral 50. The exhaust aftertreatment system 50 generally includes an exhaust treatment unit 52, such as by way of example a selective catalyst reduction unit (SCR). The exhaust treatment unit 52 may be another type of unit, such as a catalytic converter, a diesel particulate filter, a diesel oxidation catalyst, a lean nitrogen oxides (NOx) trap, an ammonia slip catalyst, reformers, a decomposition tube, among others, and combinations thereof.
  • As shown, the exhaust aftertreatment system 50 further comprises a thermal storage device 54 disposed upstream from the exhaust treatment unit 52. This thermal storage device 54 is generally any device that can store heat or thermal mass, thereby providing “inertia” against temperature fluctuations. The thermal storage device 54 can store heat upstream of the exhaust aftertreatment unit 52 at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time. More specifically, the thermal storage device is operable to store thermal mass and provide thermal insulation to enable a catalyst to maintain a minimum predetermined temperature for a minimum predetermined time. In one form, the minimum predetermined temperature is approximately 100° C. and the minimum predetermined time is about 8 hours. In another form, the minimum predetermined temperature is approximately 180° C. and the minimum predetermined time is a time span for an FTP-75 (Federal Test Procedure 75) test procedure. Accordingly, the time span and temperatures are across a cold start transient phase, a stabilized phase, a hot soak phase between, and then a hot start transient phase.
  • As further shown, in another form, at least one heater 56 is disposed proximate the thermal storage device 54. In one example, the thermal storage device 54 is a DPF (diesel particulate filter). In this exemplary form, during a preceding regeneration cycle, the thermal storage device 54 or thermal mass can store large thermal energy when the surroundings are higher in temperature than the mass. When the regeneration cycle is off, the thermal storage device 54 or thermal mass releases the thermal energy gradually when the surrounding temperature is lower than the thermal storage device 54 or thermal mass. Therefore, the thermal storage device 54 can help retain the heat and thus prolongs the regeneration cycle even after the heater 56 is turned off. The thermal storage device 54 is also operable to release thermal energy when the heater 56 is turned off and when the fluid temperature surrounding the thermal storage device 54 is lower than the temperature of the thermal storage device.
  • The thermal storage device 54 is made of a material that has excellent thermal mass (or thermal capacitance, or heat capacity), which refers to the ability of a body to store thermal energy. If the exhaust aftertreatment unit 52 is a DOC, the thermal storage device 54 can assist with light-off or NO to NO2 conversion. If the exhaust aftertreatment unit 52 is an SCR, the thermal storage device 54 could assist with NOx conversion. If the exhaust aftertreatment unit 52 is a decomposition tube upstream of an SCR, then the thermal storage device 54 could assist with processing of urea and with NOx conversion in the decomposition tube.
  • The thermal storage device 54 may be in the form of a thermal flywheel as shown in FIG. 2. The thermal storage device 54 or thermal flywheel may also include a phase change material, an in one form a phase change material that changes phase at a temperature between 180° C. and 45° C.
  • Optionally, the thermal storage device 54 may be combined with a thermal insulator (not shown). The combination of heat storage capacity and thermal insulation enables at least one catalyst in the system to remain at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time resulting in the warm-up period to be reduced or eliminated.
  • Referring now to FIG. 3, in another form, the thermal storage device 54 is positioned in a second fluid flow channel 58 that receives and warms the exhaust gas at times the exhaust gas temperature is low and would otherwise reduce the effectiveness of a catalyst in the exhaust gas flow. This exhaust system 60 further includes a fluid flow control device 62 that causes fluid to flow through the second fluid flow channel when actuated by the heater 56. Accordingly, when a heater 56 is turned on, the fluid flow control device 62 is actuated and causes the fluid to flow through the second fluid flow channel 58. Such heater-actuated flow device may be one of the various forms disclosed in copending application entitled “Heater-Actuated Flow Bypass,” which is commonly assigned with the present application and the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Alternatively, the second fluid flow channel 58 may cool the exhaust gas at times when the exhaust gas temperature is high (or above a predetermined temperature) and would otherwise reduce the effectiveness of a catalyst in the exhaust gas flow.
  • In yet another form, the thermal storage device 54 may be disposed within the first fluid flow channel or within both the first fluid flow channel and second fluid flow channel.
  • The description of the disclosure is merely exemplary in nature and, thus, variations that do not depart from the substance of the disclosure are intended to be within the scope of the disclosure. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the disclosure.
