    摘要: An exhaust line fuel injection system and associated methods of operation and control are disclosed. The fuel passes through a regulating valve connected to a pressurized fuel source and an outlet connected to an exhaust system fuel supply line. The exhaust system fuel supply line is connected to a nozzle, which generally comprises a check-valve and is configured to inject the fuel into the exhaust line. Using a pressure measuring device, an indication of the exhaust system fuel supply line pressure is obtained. A controller provides control over the flow regulating valve using feedback from the pressure indication and a predetermined relationship between the flow rate through the nozzle and one of the exhaust system fuel supply line pressure and the pressure drop across the nozzle. The method can be implemented with a single pressure measuring device. The same pressure measurements, especially their frequency spectrum, can be used to detect system faults.

    摘要: A vehicle is provided with a diesel engine, an exhaust treatment system including a LNT, and a controller configured to control the provision of a reductant to the exhaust for regenerating the LNT. The controller selectively provides the reductant to the exhaust based in part on a measure of whether the engine is undergoing a change in operating state. Preferably, the measure indicates if the engine is undergoing a speed or torque increase. During these types of transients, ideal conditions for LNT regeneration often occur. Ideal conditions include low exhaust oxygen concentrations combined with relatively low exhaust flow rates. Regenerating preferentially when these ideal conditions occur reduces the fuel penalty associated with LNT regeneration. These conditions also simplify regulating LNT and reformer temperatures. In a related concept, the transient is artificially created.

    摘要: One of the inventors' concepts relates to controlling a temperature of a diesel engine exhaust aftertreatment device, such as a DPF or a fuel reformer, in which combustion is taking place. The concept is to inject reductant to combust in an upstream device, thereby removing oxygen in the exhaust and limiting combustion in the downstream device. The same total amount of heat may be generated, but the distribution is different and limits temperatures in the downstream device. The temperature limiting effect may be through one or more of the thermal storage capacity of the upstream device, the additional heat loss to the surroundings due to higher temperatures upstream in the exhaust system, or the benefit of a more uniform distribution of heat in the downstream device, which mitigates local hot spots. This concept may be used in a temperature control system.

    摘要: Rhodium utilization in LNT/SCR-based exhaust aftertreatment systems for medium and heavy duty trucks is reduced by operating inline fuel reformers in a certain manner. The fuel processors are operated at steam reforming temperatures to produce a reformate-containing exhaust having a hydrogen to CO ratio of at least about 3:2 or at least about 3% hydrogen, This generally involves operating the fuel reformers at temperatures from about 500 to about 625° C. and with an overall fuel to air ratio from about 1.10 to about 1.40. In this manner, regeneration can be efficiently carried out while limiting the catalyst loading of the fuel processors to no more than about 1.0 grams rhodium per liter maximum displacement of the diesel engine and the catalyst loading of the LNTs to no more than about 0.50 grams rhodium per liter maximum displacement of the diesel engine.

    摘要: A diesel engine exhaust aftertreatment system including a DPF and a LNT in that order is operated with simultaneous soot combustion and LNT desulfation. When a control signal to desulfate the LNT is generated, the DPF is heated to ignite combustion of trapped soot. As the trapped soot is combusting in the DPF, reductant is injected downstream of the DPF, but upstream of the LNT at a rate that leaves the exhaust rich, whereby the LNT undergoes desulfation. Soot combustion reduces the fuel penalty for desulfation by removing oxygen from the exhaust. When a reformer is configured upstream of the LNT, soot combustion helps stabilize the reformer operation. In one embodiment, there are two fuel injectors; one upstream of the DPF and one between the DPF and the fuel reformer. Methods are provided for using this type of configuration to operate the reformer when the DPF is not being regenerated.

    摘要: One of the inventors' concepts relates to a power generation system, comprising a diesel engine and an exhaust system. The exhaust system comprises a first oxidation catalyst, a fuel reformer, and a LNT. A fuel injector is configured to inject fuel downstream of the oxidation catalyst, but upstream of the reformer. Preferably, the first oxidation catalyst is located near the engine. The first oxidation catalyst can extend the range of exhaust temperatures at which the aftertreatment devices operate by raising the temperature through reactions with residual hydrocarbons in the exhaust. The first oxidation catalyst also stabilizes the reformer operation by reducing the exhaust oxygen concentration. In a preferred embodiment, the engine operation is changed for LNT regenerations to increase the hydrocarbon content of the exhaust.

    摘要: A method is provided for operating a diesel engine exhaust aftertreatment system including a DPF and a LNT. The LNT is regenerated as soot is combusting in the DPF. To accomplish this, reductant is injected between the DPF and the LNT during soot combustion, whereby the LNT experiences rich conditions as the DPF experiences lean conditions. Preferably, the DPF is of small size whereby the DPF is heated easily and needs to be regenerated almost as often as the LNT needs to be denitrated. In an exemplary process, DPF regeneration begins in response to a control signal to denitrate the LNT. Preferably, the reductant is diesel fuel and there is a fuel reformer between the DPF and the LNT. Oxygen consumed by soot combustion reduces the fuel penalty for regenerating the LNT and promotes stable reformer operation. Heat generated in the DPF helps warm the fuel reformer.

    摘要: One concept relates to power generation system, comprising a diesel engine, an exhaust manifold, a turbocharger, and an exhaust line in which are configured a fuel reformer and a LNT. A fuel injector is configured to inject fuel into the manifold upstream of the turbine. The high temperatures upstream of the turbine cause the fuel to crack into smaller molecules, releasing heat and providing a boost to the turbocharger. The fuel injected into the manifold also undergoes intense mixing as it passes through the turbocharger. Injecting fuel in this manner provides several benefits for reformer operation. Another concept relates to a manifold fuel injector used to provide fuel for heating a DPF.
