Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for controlling a bypass valve according to the preamble of claim 1.
- DE-PS 34 28 626 for diesel engines that have a throttle valve in the exhaust line as an engine braking device, to further increase the engine braking power to arrange additional bypass lines between the combustion chamber and exhaust pipe, which can be opened and closed by means of a constant throttle valve.
- the invention has for its object to provide a generic device simple and inexpensive in such a way that the bypass valve can be used in addition to a controller to initiate the regeneration of the soot combustion filter as an engine brake valve for engine braking operation.
- the solution according to the invention makes it possible, with a relatively simple and inexpensive device, to use the bypass valve, on the one hand, depending on operating parameters for the regeneration of the soot combustion filter and, on the other hand, to control the engine braking power.
- the throttle valve 8 If the throttle valve 8 is closed, an increased engine braking power is achieved due to the increasing exhaust gas back pressure, the throttle valve 8 only when the diesel engine is in overrun mode, i.e. can be closed by the driver when the accelerator pedal 15 is in the zero position.
- the bypass valve 10 can also be opened by means of a control command that can also be triggered manually via a switch 16 on the control unit 13, as a result of which the exhaust gas counterpressure upstream of the throttle valve 8 and thus the engine braking power further increases significantly.
- the control unit 13 prevents the bypass valve 10 from opening in push mode with the throttle valve 8 open.
- this state is transmitted to the driver by means of a signal lamp 17, which is now manually operated by actuating the Switch 16 can open the bypass valve 10 via the control unit 13.
- the driver can initiate the ignition immediately via a regeneration to be initiated, or delay it until a situation favorable for the combustion of the soot particles, for example outside of inhabited areas, is present.
- the switch position with open bypass valve 10 and open throttle valve 8 leads to compliance with the above Parameters for igniting the soot combustion filter 7 by the fuel / air mixture which is at least partially ignited in the combustion chamber 3 of the cylinder head 2, that from the combustion chamber 3 through the open bypass valve 10 and through the gas channel 9 into the exhaust gas line 6 and further into the soot combustion filter 7 flows, leads to a temperature exceeding the ignition temperature of the soot particles.
- the bypass valve 10 remains open over several work cycles until the soot burning filter 7 is ignited with certainty. If the parameters required for an ignition are not complied with, the control unit 13 blocks the ignition to be initiated manually via the switch 16 by not opening the bypass valve 9.
- the device according to the invention is preferably installed and switched so that a gas channel 9 with a bypass valve 10 is installed on each cylinder of a multi-cylinder diesel engine for an optimal increase in engine braking power, but possibly only a part of the total number of gas channels 9 for initiating the regeneration of the Soot burn filter 7 is released.
