Definitions
- the invention relates to a dual-fuel internal combustion engine having the features of the preamble of claim 1 and a method for operating a dual-fuel internal combustion engine.
- Generic dual-fuel internal combustion engines are typically operated in two modes of operation. A distinction is made between a mode of operation with primarily liquid fuel supply (“liquid operation” for short, “diesel operation” in the case of using diesel as liquid fuel) and a mode of operation with primarily gaseous fuel supply, in which the liquid fuel is used as pilot fuel to start combustion Serves (also referred to as “pilot operation” or “Zündstrahl too”)). Whether liquid or pilot operation is chosen may depend on a variety of factors, such as the availability of fuel, economic considerations, or regulatory requirements.
- the object of the invention is to provide a dual-fuel internal combustion engine and a method for operating a dual-fuel internal combustion engine, in which the disadvantageous measures described above are not required. This object is achieved by a dual-fuel internal combustion engine having the features of claim 1 and a method having the features of claim 13.
- Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.
- the fuel injector for controlling the amount of fuel supplied in the ballistic range individually for each of at least Two piston-cylinder units, operated in a controlled manner, because each can be deduced to their supplied amount of liquid fuel and so this can also be regulated.
- the ballistic region of the needle sensor is understood to be the region of the position of the injector needle between complete opening and complete closure.
- the resolution range of such a needle sensor may be between 20% and 50% of the nominal stroke of the injector needle.
- the internal combustion engine has at least two piston-cylinder units. Preferably, it is 12, 16, 20 or 24 piston-cylinder units. Then, according to the invention, it is provided that each of the at least two piston-cylinder units is assigned in each case at least one needle sensor.
- the regulating device is designed to regulate the quantities of the liquid or gaseous fuel supplied to the at least two piston-cylinder units as a function of the signals characteristic of the needle positions.
- percentages in terms of fuel amounts refer to the amount of energy supplied by each fuel quantity of the piston-cylinder unit. For example, an indication of 1% liquid fuel that 1% of the power supplied to the piston-cylinder unit amount of energy from the liquid fuel. In this example, the complementary 99% of the energy supplied is supplied by the gaseous fuel. The amount of energy corresponding to a mass flow of liquid or gaseous fuel supplied to the piston-cylinder unit is determined by the respective specific energy content of the fuels used.
- liquid fuel examples include diesel and heavy fuel oil (HFO, "heavy fuel oil” or - especially in the marine sector - BFO “bunker fuel oil”).
- gaseous fuels are gaseous hydrocarbons such as natural gas or biogas.
- each of the at least two piston-cylinder units at least one connected to the control device and the respective piston-cylinder unit associated combustion sensor is provided, through which a characteristic of the respective piston-cylinder unit combustion detected signal is.
- control device is designed to individually regulate the quantities of the liquid or gaseous fuel supplied to the at least two piston-cylinder units as a function of the signal characteristic for the respective needle position and of the signal characteristic for the respective combustion ,
- the combustion sensor is a knock sensor, a cylinder pressure sensor, a temperature sensor (for example arranged in the combustion chamber or in the exhaust tract) or a NOx sensor.
- misfires the occurrence of knocking and the emissions produced during combustion can be taken into account.
- the combustion can be controlled with knowledge of the cylinder pressure in dependence of the same. This opens up the possibility compared to the embodiment with only one needle sensor, the dual-fuel Internal combustion engine with higher efficiency and / or to operate cheaper emissions.
- the needle sensor and the combustion sensor are formed separately from each other.
- the needle sensor and the combustion sensor are designed as one and the same sensor. Then it makes sense to form the sensor as a knock sensor (structure-borne sound sensor).
- a knock sensor structure-borne sound sensor. It is particularly preferably provided that exactly one fuel injector for liquid fuel is provided per piston-cylinder unit, which preferably has exactly one injector needle.
- control device is configured to individually adjust the amount of liquid fuel supplied to the at least two piston-cylinder units in a range of 0.5% (lower limit of pilot operation) to 100% (upper limit of liquid operation) to vary and accordingly to vary the amount of gaseous fuel supplied to the at least two piston-cylinder units in a range of 99.5% to 0%.
- control device is designed to individually the amount of the at least two piston-cylinder unit supplied gaseous fuel and the amount of the at least two piston-cylinder units supplied liquid fuel in dependence of a stored or calculated profile regulate, wherein the profile defines a relationship between different operating conditions of the internal combustion engine and associated amounts of gaseous and liquid fuel.
- the profile defines a relationship between different operating conditions of the internal combustion engine and associated amounts of gaseous and liquid fuel.
- the optimum percentages of liquid and gaseous fuel can be stored in each case with regard to the efficiency.
- the proportions of liquid and gaseous fuel follow the specification of whether to run a pilot operation, a liquid operation, or a mixed operation specified in terms of the maximum amount of gas.
- the use of the profile preferably covers at least the stationary operation of the internal combustion engine.
- the transient ranges can be driven, for example, with a fixed specification of the proportion of liquid and gaseous fuel.
- target BMEP brake mean effective pressure
- NOx emission limit with measured or known methane number and charge air temperature
- a ballistic range is understood to mean operation of the fuel injector in which the injection needle moves from a "full-close” position to a “full-open” position, but does not reach it. As a result, the injection needle moves back towards the "full-closed” position without having reached the "full-open” position.
- a high-resolution sensor with respect to the path of the injector needle may be used, or a sensor known per se may be provided which detects reaching the "full-close" position, and may also directly determine the position of the injector needle be detected via an optical sensor.
- a needle sensor which can detect information about the binary information "full-open” or "full-closed” addition. It can be provided that the needle sensor is designed as a pressure sensor arranged in the fuel injector, as a path measuring device or as an optical sensor. A pressure sensor may be arranged, for example, on a storage volume of the fuel injector connected to the injector needle.
- optical sensor for example, this can be directed to the injector needle itself and determine the needle position directly by visual inspection.
- the optical sensor may be directed toward that region adjacent to the fuel injector in which the occurrence of a fuel spray is to be expected when the injector needle is open.
- the opening duration of the injector needle can be determined directly, and from the pressure with which the liquid fuel was injected via the fuel injector (rail pressure), the actually injected amount of liquid fuel can be calculated therefrom. By adjusting the energization of the fuel injector this amount can be controlled. By adjusting the opening and closing times of the fuel injector, the injection characteristic can be varied.
- a cooling device is provided for the fuel injector. This can prevent coking of the liquid fuel or increased wear of the fuel injector and material failure.
- the cooling device can be designed, for example, as liquid cooling.
- control device is designed to determine a wear characteristic of the needle sensor based on the characteristic of the needle position signal of the needle sensor. For example, a supply duration of an actuator solenoid of the injector needle required for a defined supply of fuel may be relative to an opening duration of the injector needle be observed over time and an extension of the energization be detected. This indicates wear.
- the amount of the at least two piston-cylinder units supplied gaseous fuel and the amount of the piston-cylinder units supplied liquid fuel in Depending on a position of an injector needle of a fuel injector of the respective piston-cylinder unit for the liquid fuel and is controlled in response to a combustion taking place in the at least one piston-cylinder unit individually.
- the quantity of liquid fuel fed to the at least two piston-cylinder units is varied individually within a range of 0.5% to 100% and, correspondingly, the quantity of gaseous fuel fed to the at least two piston-cylinder units is varied in a range of 99.5% to 0%.
- the amount of gaseous fuel and the amount of liquid fuel supplied to the at least two piston-cylinder units is controlled individually as a function of a stored or calculated profile, wherein the profile shows a relationship between different operating states of the internal combustion engine and associated amounts of gaseous and liquid fuel.
- the controller checks whether the injected amount of liquid fuel was too low It is inventively provided that at least two piston-cylinder units are provided and for each of the at least two piston-cylinder units, the amount of supplied gaseous fuel and the amount of supplied liquid fuel is controlled individually.
- the internal combustion engine according to the invention is preferably a stationary internal combustion engine which is used either directly as a mechanical drive or as a drive device for a generator for generating electrical energy in a so-called genset unit.
- the cylinders of the piston-cylinder units preferably have a bore diameter of at least 130 mm.
- the turn down ratio is the ratio of the maximum and the minimum amount of fuel that can inject a controlled injector. If an injector can deliver a fuel quantity of 0.5% to 100%, this injector has a turn down ratio of 200.
- an injection duration can both lengthen and shorten over the lifetime of a fuel injector.
- the needle sensor opens up the possibility of detecting deviations in both directions. Further advantages and details of the invention will be discussed with reference to the figures. Show it:

- gas supply means 6 Shown as boxes are the gas supply means 6, the combustion sensor 8, the fuel injector 4 and the needle sensor 7 for a piston-cylinder unit 3, which is designated as number 1 (there are therefore several piston-cylinder units 3).
- the mentioned elements gas supply device, combustion sensor 8, fuel injector 4 and needle sensor 7 are preferably applied in several, more preferably in all piston-cylinder units 3 of the internal combustion engine 1.
- the control device 2 first detects whether the internal combustion engine 1 is operated in dual-fuel mode.
- Information about the position of the injector needle 5 of the fuel injector 4 is reported to the control device 2 via the needle sensor 7. This information may include, for example, whether the injector needle 5 has reached its respective end positions, how long it has been positioned in these positions or between the end positions.
- the combustion sensor 8 provides information about the combustion in the piston-cylinder unit 3. This information can be, for example, the burning time, cylinder pressure or the cylinder temperature.
- the control device 2 transmits commands to the actuators, gas supply device 6 and fuel injector 4.
- Data transmitted to the fuel injector 4 can, for example, be a duration of current (DOC) or start an energization (English: Start of current, SOC) be. These are common parameters for determining the actuation characteristic of a fuel injector 4.
- control device 2 can now correct the values (SOC, DOC) transmitted to the fuel injector 4 (SOC_cor, DOC_cor), for example if a deviation from the actual opening duration of the fuel injector 4 to the set opening duration has been detected.
- the gas supply device 6 can receive commands from the control device 2 at opening or closing times and opening duration, resulting in the supplied amount of gaseous fuel.
- control device 2 Other variables that can be controlled by the control device 2 are, for example, a compressor blower or a wastegate. Not instantaneously operable but capable of compensating for slower changes are, for example, adjusting a pressure of the gas supply or the rail pressure of the liquid fuel. While the gas supply device 6 and the fuel injector 4 are controlled individually for each cylinder, the actuators waste-gate, compressor-bypass, supply pressure of the gaseous fuel and rail pressure (of the liquid fuel) all concern piston-cylinder units 3, thus can not Can be varied individually for each cylinder.
- Fig. 4 shows the control scheme of Fig. 3 in an alternative form of representation.
- the control device 2 referred to here as ECU
- ECU controls the actuation characteristic of the fuel injector 4 and / or optionally the gas supply device 6 for metering the gaseous fuel as a function of the received signals from the combustion sensor 8 and the needle sensor 7.
- a cylinder-specific variation of the amount of supplied gaseous fuel can be realized for example by a port-injection valve, as it has been explained in the embodiment of FIG.
- An alternative to the cylinder-specific variation of the supplied gaseous fuel is a variable valve train.
- the interconnection is exemplified for two piston-cylinder units 3 (here called cylinders 1 and 2).
- the members or the control scheme is preferably realized for several, more preferably for all piston-cylinder units 3 of the internal combustion engine 1.
- the functional unit of fuel injector 4 and needle sensor 7 receives from the controller 2 (ECU) on the one hand the feedback from the needle sensor 7 on the actual operating characteristic of the fuel injector 4, i. Opening time, opening and closing times.
- the functional unit of fuel injector 4 and needle sensor 7 receives commands for actuating the fuel injector 4, such as start of current (SOC) and a duration of current (DOC). From the feedback of the needle sensor 7, the controller 2 calculates and transmits, if necessary, corrected values SOC_cor and DOC_cor.
