Background technique

In the range of internal combustion engine (ICE) for vehicle propulsion, spark ignition (SI) engine and compression ignition (CI) Engine is most common.In SI engine, the mixture of air and fuel (usually gasoline) is introduced into cylindrical combustion To pass through plug ignition in room.When generated flame front propagates through combustion chamber from initial ignition point, temperature continues It increases, this leads to peak value ignition temperature again.The common emission of SI process includes carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbon and nitrogen Oxide (NOx) (etc.).Modern SI engine vehicle generallys use three-way catalytic converter to reduce these combustion by-products In each.In order to ensure catalyst is run in terms of NOx reduction with optimum performance, combustion of this engine in stoichiometry Material or operates air ratio close under the fuel-air ratio of stoichiometry, as avoiding the excess of oxygen that there is damage catalyst in exhaust gas (O₂) method.

In CI engine, fuel (usually diesel fuel) is introduced into combustion chamber, and air is highly to press wherein The form of contracting exists.Fuel is caused to be lighted automatically along with the raised temperature in interior of increased pressure.Combustion process passes through combustion Material/air diffusion mixing is to carry out.Different from typical SI engine, the direct fuel injection of CI engine eliminates throttling damage It becomes estranged relevant fuel pumping loss.The high compression ratio of CI engine and intrinsic lean combustion have less pumping loss, cause Thermodynamic efficiency more higher than SI engine.However, to this leaner fuel-air than relevant excess O₂So that SI engine The use of three-way catalyst is unpractical for NOx reduction, because this catalyst is only in very narrow O₂Horizontal extent Inside effectively operate (usually between about 0.5% and 1.0%).It include complicated and expensive combustion to overcome this limitation Material injection and after-treatment system.The example of known post-processing approach includes poor NOx trap, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) (EGR) is recycled with exhaust gas.Although can be used for its expected purpose, depending on these methods unduly may run counter to desire, because poor NOx trap and SCR need regular regeneration, and the validity of EGR is restricted in the case where high engine power is horizontal.

Another engine type, referred to as homogenous charge compression igniting (HCCI) engine, it is intended in conjunction with based on diesel oil The feature of CI engine and the SI engine based on gasoline.In hcci engine, fuel and air with traditional SI to start The substantially similar mode of machine mixes before introducing combustion chamber.It is certain by the combustion chamber as traditional CI engine Automatically burning mixt is put under the conditions of temperature and pressure to realize burning.Under ideal conditions, hcci engine realizes diffusion, nothing Flame burning and lower surge pressure and temperature；This burning effectively keeps low NOx and generates.However, in fact, being proved It is extremely hard to establish under the engine condition of wide scope to temperature, pressure and the composition for obtaining fuel-air mixture The accurate control correctly combined, especially when being related to high-power output condition.

Another kind is known as gasoline compression ignition (GCI) engine (also referred to as partly-premixed compression ignition (PPCI) engine) Engine type attract attention as the attractive substitute of conventional diesel CI or gasoline SI engine.It is sent out in GCI In motivation, fuel is sprayed in the compression stage later period that the four-stroke cycle of engine operates with segmented mode.In this way, it fires Material charging may be considered that with local stoichiometric condition and global laminate property.It is worth noting that, generally gasoline is (especially Low octane value gasoline) relative to diesel fuel have higher volatility and longer firing delay.By in compression stroke It relatively late introduces this fuel and utilizes the firing delay (this peomotes additional Fuel-air and mixes) of fuel, Do not start to burn before injection terminates.In order to reach ideal degeee of stratification, multiple injection can be used.By being fired in low temperature It is run under the conditions of burning (LTC), NOx generation and soot emissions can be significantly reduced in GCI engine, while realizing the heat of similar diesel oil Efficiency.In addition, refining low octane value gasoline is easier (and cheaper) than processing regular price gasoline and diesel fuel, this is in turn Reduce other undesirable materials (such as CO again₂) whole oil well to fuel tank (well-to-tank) discharge.

One of GCI engine is the disadvantage is that low NOx drainage tends to increase under heavy loading under normal engine service condition Add.Therefore, automaker has been carried out some (that is, SCR, EGR etc.) in above-mentioned various technologies and is used as and starts all Ensure the satisfactory mode of NOx under machine operating condition.This corrective action is expensive, and as described above, may be limited Engine performance.For example, excessively EGR can lead to combustion instability and it is relevant catch fire, and it is useless by being included in recycling The blocking of valve caused by carbon deposits in gas.It depends on EGR unduly and also makes it difficult to control GCI engine transient response, because The reduction of air inlet fed feed density may be incompatible with holding continuous burning flame front in the combustion chamber.

Summary of the invention

Herein, various engine operating loads or condition (for example, low, normal, cold start-up and height) can correspond to The various schemes that can be monitored and be operated by controller, to ensure the appropriate management to air mixture.In a similar way, it controls Device processed --- working individually or together with another controller --- can be used for ensuring compliance with the combustion appropriate for this quasi-mode Material and relevant Ambient operating conditions.

For example, for one of following various operating conditions or a variety of: low engine load；Low ambient temperature and Cold start-up (and following early stage preheat), use research method octane number (RON) by 91 unleaded regular gasoline public affairs The GCI engine opened may undergo relatively long firing delay.In this case, automatic ignition may be too weak, too late or complete Full failure.In order to avoid such case, controller can work together with other conduits, valve and spark plug, so that injection Fuel starts to light a fire on time and burn.In the case where SI operation, OEA stream helps to improve flame speed and burn rate, especially It is when cylinder temperature is low.Equally, middle heavy-duty service, cylinder pressure and temperature also will increase；Such operation item Part tends to promote early stage spontaneous combustion and may cause higher NOx emission and higher combustion noise.

The various parts of air intake management system, which cooperate, flows to air intake to convey OEA and NEA.Particularly, start in GCI OEA stream is transported from separator during the cold start-up of machine and pre- thermic load, and in the period phase unrelated with cold start-up and pre- thermic load Between from separator and EGR flow path transport NEA stream.In addition, during these periods unrelated with cold start-up and pre- thermic load, Controller provides instruction set, wherein by the nitrogen enriched combustion product stream from EGR flow path and the NEA air stream from separator The exhaust gas for providing different piece, which discharges, to be reduced.

According to the another embodiment of the disclosure, a kind of method for operating GCI engine is disclosed.This method includes that will be based on The fuel of gasoline is introduced engine chamber and is helped to reduce exhaust gas discharge etc. using air intake management system.Air intake management system System includes separator based on film, exhaust gas recirculation flow path, the stream to cooperate with separator and exhaust gas recirculation flow path Dynamic control conduit, multiple sensors and the combustion air for carrying out signal communication with sensor and flowing control conduit are enriched with and control Device.In use, it is introduced into the separator based on film for being at least separated into the air of OEA stream and NEA stream by air intake management system System manipulation, so as at least part NEA stream and the nitrogen enriched combustion of (depending on engine) from exhaust gas recirculation flow path Product stream is provided to engine, as the mode for adjusting the rate of generation GCI burning in engine.In this way, with During cold start-up or the unrelated engine load increase of warm-up operation condition, the nitrogen-rich air for reducing exhaust gas discharge is supplied to It partially comes from and is present in exhaust gas recirculation flow path by the nitrogen-rich air stream from separator and in some cases Nitrogen enriched combustion product stream provide.

In the case where controller 130 is configured not only to only provide air intake management system 100 and control (for example, to hair The operation of one or more of motivation 1, the supply of fuel or the other systems in vehicle 2), from other sensor S Other this kind of signals controller 130 can also be provided to aspect, with by the inclusion of wherein control logic carry out Suitable processing is provided for controlling the burning from 125 conveying of air inlet control including the burning data wherein from engine 1 Device inlet gas 115_CMixing or those of associated delivery.For example, in such a way that the GCI mode operated with engine 1 is consistent, Controller 130 can be programmed with fuel injector driver 130E, EGR driver 130F, engine valve controller 130G and stream Valve control 130H (any valve for being arranged in flow-catheter 115) is measured to provide repeatedly rear spray, layering mixing, low temperature Combustion process, as the method for promoting engine 1 even running and low NOx drainage within the scope of substantially entire load speed. This control is particularly advantageous for the multiple rear injection strategy for conveying fuel in GCI engine 1, because working as itself and compression This conveying is optimised when various sequence consensus in stroke, this can pass through the biography that degree in crank angle (CAD) is detected from crankshaft 15 Sensor S come measure with help control when self-ignition occurs.Herein, position of the piston 60 in cylinder 10 is typically referenced to CAD is described before or after position top dead-centre (TDC) of piston 60.Controller 130 can also be by this conveyance strategy Based on other 1 operating parameters of engine, such as load and engine speed, and the number of expected this injection.For example, from 0 ° Correspond to power stroke, 0 ° of expression TDC, 180 ° of expression bottom dead centres (BDC) to 180 ° of CAD.Equally, from 180 ° to 360 ° CAD represents exhaust stroke, and the latter represents TDC.In addition, the CAD from 360 ° to 540 ° indicates that the latter has the induction stroke of BDC. In addition, the CAD from 540 ° to 720 ° indicates the compression stroke the latter at TDC.For example, controller 130 --- when When being used in 6 Cylinder engines --- occur that igniting every 120 ° of rotations of crankshaft 15, i.e. each rotation of engine 1 has It lights a fire three times.Therefore, when each cylinder in six cylinders is once lighted a fire, crankshaft 15 has rotated twice to cross 720 ° Rotary motion.Similarly, if engine 1 is configured to 4 Cylinder engines, igniting can be rotated in each 180 ° crankshaft 15 to be sent out It is raw.In one form, one in sensor S can be crank sensor, to monitor position or the revolving speed of crankshaft 15.From this The data that the crank sensor of sample obtains are sent to controller 130 to be handled, to determine fuel injection timing and its His 1 parameter of engine, including for those of igniter 120 situation (such as cold start-up and subsequent preheating) to be used Ignition timing.The sensor S of such as crank sensor etc can be to other sensors S (such as biography relevant with 20 position of valve Sensor) it is applied in combination, to monitor the relationship between the valve 20 and piston 60 in the configuration of engine 1 with variable valve timing.

Model Predictive Control scheme can be used to realize in controller 130, such as monitor model PREDICTIVE CONTROL (SMPC) side Case or its modification, or such as multi input and multi output (MIMO) agreement, wherein input includes and various after-combustions as described herein Exhaust-gas treatment component, sensor S (such as exhaust gas temperature sensor, O₂Sensor, NO_xSensor, SO_xSensor etc.), estimated value Relevant multiple values such as (such as being calculated from look-up table or by algorithm).In this way, with one from sensor S or Multiple associated output voltages of sensing value are received by controller 130, then digitlization and with scheduled table, figure, matrix or calculation Method value is compared, so that being based on difference, generates the output of instruction certain operation condition.These outputs can be used to control All parts, such as remaining part associated with air intake management system 100 are adjusted in the range of device 130.

As described above, in one form, controller 130 can (such as atmospheric pressure, environment be empty with pre-loaded various parameters Temperature degree and flow velocity, exhaust gas temperature and flow velocity, engine MEP etc.) into inquiry table, which can be included in ROM In 130C or RAM 130D.In another form, controller 130 may include one or more based on equation or formula Algorithm allows CPU to generate the control signal of suitable logic-based based on the input from various sensors, and in another kind In form, controller 130 may include look-up table and algorithm characteristics, to promote it to monitor and control function.No matter these are used Any, controller 130 in the data and calculating interaction of form --- to relevant sensor S, membrane separator 105, EGR 110 and relevant flowing control conduit 115 together --- cooperation so that with the operational load on engine 1 increase above it is cold Starting or pre- Warm status, more NEA streams 115_NEAFrom separator 105 than being transported to air inlet control 125 from EGR 110.

With reference next to Fig. 3, in one form, separator 105 can be formed as a part of module 140, to have There is Field Replaceable Unit (LRU) quality.In this way it is possible to the simplified replacement with separator 105 or air filter 145 Or the relevant attended operation of maintenance.These LRU can be stored easily, so-called to carry out from the onsite inventory being easily obtained Ready-made replacement.Due to its modularization, LRU can also reduce system cost simultaneously by concentrating the vehicle 2 of exploitation different model Improve quality.In order to reduce the maintenance cost of vehicle 2, separator 105 can be placed together with air filter 145, so that mould Block 140 forms combined shell, and in another form, separator 105 can be formed in the shell of itself.

MEP --- mean effective pressure (IMEP), brake mean-effective pressure (BMEP) or friction are indicated including its modification Mean effective pressure (FMEP) --- specific engines 1 are provided and are not considering 1 discharge capacity of 10 quantity of cylinder or relevant engine In the case of the ability value that works.In addition, it provides the measurement of the pressure corresponding to the torque generated, so that it may be considered that It is the average pressure that different piece in its four periods (entrance, compression, igniting and exhaust) acts on piston 60.It is practical On, since MEP is unrelated with engine speed or size, MEP is the better parameter of specific torque, for setting for comparison engine Meter and output.Therefore, MEP provides other measurements (such as horsepower) preferably instruction than engine, because of the torque generated It is only the function of MEP and discharge capacity, and horsepower is torque and the function of rpm.Therefore, for given discharge capacity, higher maximum MEP Mean to generate more torques, and for given torque, higher maximum MEP means that it is real from lesser engine 1 It is existing.Equally, higher maximum MEP can be associated with higher stress and temperature in engine 1, and this in turn provides engines The instruction of the degree of supernumerary structure reinforcement in 1 service life or engine 1.It is worth noting that, extensive dynamometer machine test, adds Upper suitable analysis prediction, keeps MEP well-known in Modern Engine design.Therefore, for CI engine, corresponding to most Under the engine speed of large torque (about 3000rpm), typically about 7.0 bars to about 9.0 bars of MEP value, and for natural suction Gas (that is, non-turbine pressurization) SI engine, it is common that MEP value, which is about 8.5 bars to about 10.5 bars, and for turbo charged SI Engine, MEP may be between about 12.5 bars to about 17.0 bars.

It is also possible to which the various operation schemes for engine 1 determine MEP value.Such operation scheme may include low Power or load (including such as engine idling conditions), correspond to be up to about a kind of form of 1.0 bars of MEP, another Kind form is up to about 2.0 bars of MEP.Similarly, such operation scheme may include normal (or medium) power or load, The MEP between about 2.0 bars to about 5.0 bars is corresponded to, and another form is between about 2.0 bars to about 6.0 bars MEP, another form are the MEP between about 2.0 bars and about 7.0 bars.In addition, this operation scheme may include high power Or load, about 7.0 bars or more of MEP is corresponded to, another form of MEP is about 8.0 bars or more, another form MEP be about 9.0 bars or more, and another form is about 10.0 bars or more of MEP.

As it will be appreciated, these and other MEP values can be input to can store in memory addressable position In the parameter set suitably mapped (such as look-up table above-mentioned), so that these values can be used for adjusting various engines 1 and grasp Make parameter, and is used for controller 130 in the effect of its diagnosis capability.In this case, it can be with some sensor S mono- Work is played, including can be used for measuring those of 10 volume of cylinder (such as by 15 angle of crankshaft etc.) sensor.

With reference next to Figure 4 and 5, analysis and experimental study are all confirmed, use NEA stream 115_NEAWith EGR flow 115_EGRIt can be with Air inlet charging is diluted to reduce GCI burn rate, and therefore reduces NOx emission.Because of NEA stream 115_NEAIt is expected in engine 1 It is used on exposed most of load, so understanding that the construction of separator 105 is beneficial.Particularly, adjustable separator 105, so that O₂Than N₂Fast several times of speed penetrates film, the OEA stream 115 that this influence generates on the 105A of penetrant side_OEAAmount. Seepage velocity can be measured according to the permeability for the air for entering separator 105 or permeability.Meanwhile in retentate side 105B In continuously generate NEA stream 115_NEA.Film selectivity or related separation factor are used for comparative film to the separation energy of certain object gas Power, wherein selectivity is provided by their permeability (or permeability).In order to meet certain requirements (certain N of product air₂It is dense Degree and NEA stream 115_NEAFlow velocity), required feeding air amount (i.e. feed flow rate) and charging/osmotic pressure can change. In addition, the O in penetrant side 105A stream₂Purity can also change.It is also possible to change the configuration of separator 105.For example, point It can be configured as spiral-wound module, sheet frame module, hollow fiber membrane module, hollow fiber module or capillary from device 105 Module.For example, in hollow fiber membrane module fibrous inside (referred to as " from inside to outside ") can be introduced the feed into or outside fiber Portion (referred to as " from outside to inside ").As shown in table 1, for hollow fiber membrane module, high O₂Selective membrane (material B, O₂/N₂Selectivity 5) to show as the fewer O of separator 105₂Selective membrane (materials A, O₂/N₂Selectivity minimizes to be 2) more effective in NEA Reach identical N in stream₂Charge flow rate needed for concentration.Therefore, this selectivity (and configuration) can be formed for giving The basis of the size of the separator 105 of engine 1.

NEA is produced using hollow fiber membrane module

Feed pressure: 3 bars；Osmotic pressure: 1.1 bars

Table 1

A part of analysis as author's progress by the disclosure, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is for simulating in nitrogen The performance and discharge of the GCI engine 1 operated under enhanced mode of operation.In this simulation, analyze with 14.5:1 geometry 4 air valve engine of single cylinder of compression ratio.Combustion chamber receives 14 milligrams of light naphtha fuel between the single cycle runtime, wherein Load is defined as 5 bars of MEP, 1500rpm, 1.1 bars of boost charge-air pressures.These are shown as a result, wherein coming from general, increasing EGR flow 115_EGRNOx to inhibit the amount of fluid be beneficial under idle running or relevant 1 loading condiction of low engine, but in Benefit is less in load and the associated MEP of high load capacity.For example, EGR 110 should not make under the load of greater than about 7.0 bars BMEP With because generated exhaust gas discharge may include excessive smog under the conditions of these higher loads.By monitoring engine 1 load simultaneously determines that this load is less than threshold value (such as load associated with the low-load range of restriction), and EGR may be implemented 110 appropriate operation.In addition, controller 130 can be used for based on suchlike because usually instruction is supplied to air inlet control 125 N₂In enrichment number come from EGR flow 115_EGRWith NEA stream 115_NEAEach of.

Referring in particular to Fig. 4, is tested on the engine 1 that is discussed in the last period, tested as by using separator 105 Demonstrate,prove N₂The method of the feasibility of enrichment.Change various parameters, including with charging and permeate flow velocity and N₂The behaviour of purity and flow velocity Make the relevant parameter of pressure (feed pressure).NOx emission is standardized as reference value, normal atmosphere concentration is 79% (volume) N₂.Therefore, relatively mild increase N₂6% to 85% causes NOx emission relative to the suppression of non-enrichment reference case about 80% System, although cigarette ash generation increases to 30% by about 25% really.

With specific reference to Fig. 5, the cylinder temperature track of the simulated combustion process for GCI engine 1 is shown.In this side Face, graph representation rate of heat release relevant to CAD.With air inlet feed in N₂The increase of composition, peak value cylinder temperature reduce. NEA stream 115_NEADilution air inlet feeds and reduces by 1 burn rate of GCI engine, as a result, reduces warm in the peak cylinder of engine 1 Degree.Known NOx emission generates at high temperature.Therefore, reducing cylinder temperature causes NOx emission to significantly reduce.It is worth noting that, Restoring relevant temperature to NOx and reduce allows the position that fuel injection occurs in compression process to change.Therefore, with specific CAD sprays fuel to keep this ignition temperature is low to depend on and required more far post injections, stratified mixture, low-temperature burning mistake The relevant various factors of journey.These factors may include fuel-air ratio, EGR level, entering air temperature and pressure etc..Use GCI Engine 1, fuel can during compression stroke different time injection (such as in some cases before tdc about Between 120 ° to 90 °C AD, and in other cases before tdc between about 30 ° to 10 °)；Controller 130 can be considered The difference of the self-ignition property of fuel under these various temperature and pressure states in combustion chamber 30, to indicate this injection, with And NEA or OEA stream 115_NEA、115_OEA, valve stroke timing etc..

By can generally reduce discharge, especially NOx with specific CAD injection fuel, while still maintaining and stablizing, Efficient operation.High 1 load of engine (wherein MEP high) is particularly contemplated, due to high rotation speed, it may be difficult to by all combustions Material is with desired CAD injection.In this case, using air intake management system 100 and its mixed dependence in from corresponding separation The NEA of device 105 and EGR 110 stream 115_NEAWith EGR flow 115_EGRIt is the most useful.Particularly, controller 130 can with beg for here The other component of opinion is used in combination, to provide air inlet charging appropriate to admission controller 125, to promote in preferred CAD Interior self-ignition burning.It, can be in relatively narrow CAD after tdc in fact, according to the load of engine 1 and various input parameters A large amount of (if not all) automatic ignitions are carried out, as shown in the figure.Likewise it is possible to control the duration of combustion incident with reality It is now horizontal with the consistent required peak cylinder temperature and pressure of NOx reduction.In a similar way, increase OEA stream 115_OEAIt can be The operating condition of certain engines 1 is used to promote the beginning (usually being combined with spark ignition device 120) of combustion process.
