Technical Field

Background
Along with social development, the popularity of automobiles is increasing day by day, and in order to realize energy conservation and emission reduction, the emission of the nation VI is implemented in advance by the nation, and the emission regulation of the nation VII is planned. In order to meet increasingly stringent fuel consumption and emission regulations, various manufacturers are exploring new technologies such as VVL, cylinder deactivation technology, low friction, and the like. The EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) technology has higher cost performance in the aspects of energy conservation and emission reduction, and is gradually applied to small-sized gasoline passenger vehicles. The potential for energy conservation and emission reduction of EGR technology is also being gradually explored. The low-pressure EGR technology is to introduce part of the exhaust gas upstream of the supercharger through an EGR valve and a connecting pipe, mix with fresh air, compress the mixture by the supercharger, and then enter the cylinder. The EGR technology can inhibit knocking, reduce pumping loss, reduce oil injection thickening and reduce combustion temperature, thereby achieving the effects of energy conservation and emission reduction.
In the actual use process, the temperature of engine exhaust gas is higher (can reach more than 900 ℃ at most), the water content is more (exists in the form of water vapor), the temperature of fresh air is lower, the water content is less (exists in the form of water vapor), after the fresh air and the exhaust gas are mixed, the temperature of the mixed gas is lower than the dew point temperature of the separated condensed water, the separated condensed water (in the form of water drops) is generated, and then the mixed gas and the condensed water pass through a supercharger impeller rotating at a high speed (the highest rotating speed can reach 20 ten thousand revolutions per minute), so that the supercharger impeller is damaged.
At present, in order to deal with the problem of condensate water generated by a low-pressure EGR system, the following modes are generally adopted: 1. the use environment of EGR is limited. For example, when ambient temperature is low, EGR is not used; when the ambient humidity is too high, EGR is not used; the temperature of the cooled exhaust gas is increased. 2. The capability of the booster pinch roller for resisting condensed water is improved. And the restriction of the use of EGR can greatly reduce the energy-saving and emission-reducing effects of the EGR technology, and is not beneficial to environmental protection. The improvement of the condensed water resistance of the pressure wheel of the supercharger needs to improve the pressure wheel of the supercharger and redesign the pressure wheel of the supercharger, so that the design difficulty is improved and the cost is increased.

Detailed Description
Fig. 1 is a schematic block diagram of an engine low pressure EGR control system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The present embodiment provides an engine low pressure EGR control system 100. The engine low pressure EGR control system 100 may include an engine system 110 and an EGR system 120. The engine system 110 may include, among other things, an intake line 101, an exhaust line 102, and a supercharger puck 5. Wherein the air intake line 101 is arranged on the air intake side of the engine system 110, and air flows from the air intake line 101 into the engine system 110. The EGR system 120 communicates with the intake line 101 and the exhaust line 102 for introducing EGR gas of the exhaust line 102 into the intake line 101. Wherein, the air inlet pipeline 101 is provided with a heating device 4, and the air and the EGR gas form mixed gas before the heating device 4 and then flow into the heating device 4, so that the temperature of the mixed gas is heated to be above the dew point temperature by the heating device 4 and then flows through the supercharger pinch roller 5.
In the engine low-pressure EGR control system 100 in this embodiment, EGR gas and air are mixed at the intake pipe 101 of the engine system 110, and then flow through the supercharger pressure wheel 5 after being heated to a temperature higher than the dew point temperature, and further flow into the engine system 110. Because the mixed gas is heated to the dew point temperature or above, and when the temperature of the mixed gas is above the dew point, the water vapor in the mixed gas can not be separated out to form condensed water, and therefore, the condensed water can not damage the booster pinch roller 5 when the mixed gas flows through the booster pinch roller 5. In addition, in the embodiment, the problem that the supercharger pinch roller 5 is damaged by condensed water is solved only by adding the heating device 4 in the system, the use condition of the EGR system is not limited, the energy-saving and emission-reducing effects of the EGR technology are fully exerted, and the environmental protection is facilitated. In addition, in the embodiment, because no condensed water exists in the mixer flowing through the booster pinch roller 5, the booster pinch roller 5 does not need to be redesigned, and unnecessary cost is reduced.
As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the heating device 4 in this embodiment may include an inner cavity 41 and an outer cavity 42, wherein the inner cavity 41 may be communicated with the air intake pipeline 101 for circulating the mixed gas. The outer chamber 42 is disposed outside the inner chamber 41, and is configured to circulate a heating liquid to heat the mixed gas circulating at the inner chamber 41 by exchanging heat with the mixed gas.
In this embodiment, the heating device 4 is externally supplied with the heating liquid to heat the mixed gas flowing through the heating device 4, so as to ensure that the mixed gas is heated to a temperature above the dew point, and further ensure that the mixed gas does not generate condensed water.
Fig. 2 is a schematic block diagram of a cooling system, a heating device, and a controller connection according to an embodiment of the present invention. As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the engine system 110 in the present embodiment may include an engine 11 and a cooling system 103. The cooling system 103 is disposed outside the engine 11 and circulates a coolant to cool the engine 11. The outer cavity 42 is communicated with the cooling system 103, so that the cooling liquid flowing out of the cooling system 103 is used as heating liquid and flows into the outer cavity 42 to heat the mixed gas.
In this embodiment, the heating liquid of the heating device 4 is derived from the coolant flowing out of the cooling system 103 for cooling the engine 11, and the coolant in the cooling system 103 has a high temperature after exchanging heat with the engine 11, so that a heat source can be provided for heating the mixed gas, and no additional heat source is needed, thereby reducing energy loss.
As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the heating device 4 in this embodiment may further include a liquid inlet pipe 17, a liquid outlet pipe 2 and a flow control valve 15. The two ends of the liquid inlet pipe 17 are respectively communicated with the cooling system 103 and the outer cavity 42, and the liquid inlet pipe is used for introducing the cooling liquid of the cooling system 103 into the outer cavity 42. The liquid outlet pipe 2 is communicated with the outer cavity 42, so that the liquid in the outer cavity 42 flows out. A flow control valve 15 is provided at the liquid inlet pipe 17 for regulating the flow of liquid into the outer chamber 42.
Because the temperature of the coolant after cooling the engine 11 is high, and the temperature of the mixed gas does not need to be too high, the flow of the coolant needs to be regulated, so that not only is the temperature of the mixed gas after heat exchange with the coolant prevented from being too low and not reaching the dew point temperature, and therefore condensed water is separated out, but also the temperature of the mixed gas after heat exchange with the coolant is prevented from being too high, and the temperature of the gas entering the engine 11 is prevented from being too high, so that the engine system 110 is damaged.
As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the inner cavity 41 in this embodiment is further provided with a temperature sensor 3 for detecting the temperature information of the mixed gas.

As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the engine system 110 in this embodiment may further include a supercharger pinch roller 5, an intercooler 14, a throttle 13, and an intake manifold 12 located in front of the engine 11. The engine system 110 may also include an exhaust manifold 10 located after the engine 11, a supercharger turbine 6, and a catalyst 9. The engine system 110 may also include an air cleaner 1 disposed at the air intake line 101 for filtering air entering the engine system 110.
As a specific example of the present invention, the EGR system 120 in this example may include an EGR line 121, an EGR valve 7, and an EGR cooler 8. An EGR valve 7 is provided at the EGR line 121 for adjusting the gas flow rate of the EGR line 121. The EGR cooler 8 is provided at the EGR line 121 for cooling the EGR gas of the EGR line 121.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the leftmost air of the intake pipe 101 enters, then passes through the air cleaner 1, and then is mixed with the EGR gas flowing out of the EGR system 120, and the mixed gas enters into the heating device 4 together, and the mixed gas is heated by the heating device 4. After being heated to above the dew point, the mixed gas passes through the supercharger pinch roller 5, passes through the intercooler 14 and the throttle valve 13, and then enters the engine 11 from the intake manifold 12. The gas from the engine 11 passes through the exhaust manifold 10, then flows through the turbocharger turbine 6, then flows through the catalyst 9, and then is divided into two paths, one path is directly introduced into the atmosphere, and the other path flows through the EGR pipeline 121, passes through the EGR cooler 8 and the EGR valve in sequence, and then is introduced into the air inlet pipeline 101 to be mixed with the air.
The controller 16 is connected to the temperature sensor 3 and the flow control valve 15. The temperature information of the mixed gas detected by the temperature sensor 3 is compared with the dew point temperature information of the mixed gas calculated in advance to control the flow control valve 15, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the coolant and thus the temperature of the mixed gas.
As a specific example, after the exhaust gas passes through the catalyst 9, assuming that the temperature is 500 ℃, a small amount of EGR gas is cooled by the EGR cooler 8 by the adjustment of the EGR valve 7, assuming that the temperature is 100 ℃, and mixed with fresh air, assuming that the temperature of the fresh air is 10 ℃, and the temperature of the mixed gas is 15 ℃, the temperature sensor 3 detects the temperature of the mixed gas, and feeds back the temperature information to the controller 16, the controller 16 calculates the dew point temperature of the condensed water of the mixed gas according to the moisture content of the fresh air and the EGR gas, and if the dew point temperature is 20 ℃, the controller 16 outputs a signal to the flow control valve 15, adjusts the flow rate of the coolant entering the heating device 4 (assuming that the temperature of the coolant is 85 ℃), and heats the mixed gas until the temperature of the mixed gas reaches the dew point temperature of the condensed water.
As a specific example of the present invention, the present embodiment also provides a vehicle that may include the above engine low pressure EGR control system 100.
