Coldstart Engine Combustion Modelling to Control Hydrocarbon Emissions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to the large contribution of the coldstart process to unburned hydrocarbon emissions of an internal combustion engine during FTP cycle tests, we take a new look at the production of hydrocarbons inside the combustion chamber during coldstart. To this end a model is developed which predicts the exhaust port hydrocarbon concentration, exhaust gas temperature and equivalence ratio based on a simplified, control-oriented heat release analysis of the cylinder pressure. Non-linear control algorithms are used to regulate the engine to a pre-defined exhaust profile, based on optimized catalyst-out hydrocarbon emissions. This approach is intended to make use of robust, automotive-grade exhaust hydrocarbon sensors currently in development.

A Simplified Coldstart Catalyst Thermal Model to Reduce Hydrocarbon Emissions
It is a well-known phenomenon that the bulk of hydrocarbon emissions emitted from internal combustion engines occurs during the coldstart period, thus necessitating new control strategies to reduce hydrocarbon emissions. A simplified thermal model of the catalytic converter during coldstart is developed, employing thermal dynamics, oxygen storage and static conversion curves. It is subsequently...
متن کاملMimo Control for Automotive Coldstart
The problem of controlling combustion engine emissions during the coldstart period is addressed by designing a MIMO sliding mode controller. The task of the controller is to track a given set of desired profiles of engine-out hydrocarbon emissions and catalyst temperature using spark timing and fuel injection rate as the inputs. This is an important step in solving the coldstart problem. The th...
متن کاملDynamic Surface Control of Engine Exhaust Hydrocarbons and Catalyst Temperature for Reduced Coldstart Emissions
Almost three quarters of the hydrocarbon (HC) emissions emitted by an automobile in a typical drive-cycle are produced during the first three minutes of its operation called the coldstart period. In this paper, we propose a way to decrease cold start emissions. A Model-Based paradigm is used to aid the generation of an efficient controller. The controller is built around a mean value engine mod...
متن کاملSimplified Models of Engine Hc Emissions, Exhaust Temperature and Catalyst Temperature for Automotive Coldstart
The initial 1-2 minutes of operation of an automotive spark-ignition engine, commonly called as the ”coldstart” period, produces more than 75-80 % of the hydrocarbon (HC) emissions in a typical drive cycle. Model-based controller development requires accurate, yet simple, models that can run in realtime. Simple, intuitive models are developed to predict both tailpipe hydrocarbon (HC) emissions ...
متن کاملModeling of Combustion and Carbon Oxides Formation in Direct Injection Diesel Engine
When looking at the effects of diesel engine exhaust on the environment, it is important to first look at the composition of the exhaust gases. Over 99.5% of the exhaust gases are a combination of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water. With the exception of carbon dioxide, which contributes about 5% of the total volume, the diesel engine exhaust consists of elements which are part of...
