Description
Exhaust-gas burner for a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle having an exhaust-gas burner of said type The present invention relates to an exhaust-gas burner for a motor vehicle, cornprising - a combustion chamber, - a tubular inlet line and a tubular outlet line which are fluidically connected to the combustion chamber, wherein, during the operation of the exhaust-gas burner, a fluid, in particular process air, flows into the combustion chamber through the inlet line, - an injection valve which opens into the combustion chamber and by means of which a defined fuel quantity is injected with a defined injection frequency into the combustion chamber during the operation of the exhaust-gas burner, and - an ignition device which extends into the combustion chamber and which is configured to ignite and thus burn the fuel-fluid mixture, in particular the fuel-process air mixture, within the combustion chamber, wherein the gas formed during this combustion process flows through the outlet line and passes out of the exhaust-gas burner.
The present invention furthermore relates to a motor vehicle having an exhaust-gas burner of said type.
Exhaust-gas burners of the type mentioned in the introduction are commonly used in exhaust-gas treatment devices of motor vehicles in order to improve the emissions values. Such exhaust-gas burners increase the temperature of the exhaust gas in order to trigger reactions which occur only when a certain temperature threshold is reached and which contribute to the purification of the exhaust gas. For example, soot accumulations in or blockages of a particle filter of the exhaust-gas treatment device can be removed by means of an exhaust-gas burner.
It has been found that the resonance behavior of the exhaust-gas burner influences the combustion stability thereof and, under some circumstances, can lead to an unstable combustion. Important variables that have an influence on the resonance behavior are in particular the geometry of the inlet line, the geometry of the outlet line, the geometry of the combustion chamber and the injection frequency with which the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber.
The present invention seeks to provide an exhaust-gas burner for a motor vehicle, which exhaust-gas burner exhibits particularly high combustion stability.
This can be achieved by means of an exhaust-gas burner of the type mentioned in the introduction having the features of claim 1. The dependent claims relate to advantageous developments of the invention.
An exhaust-gas burner according to an aspect of the invention is distinguished by the fact that the length L1 of the inlet line is selected so as to lie approximately between 90 mm and 120 mm, and in that the length L2 of the outlet line is selected so as to be 5 200 mm, and in that the injection frequency of the injection valve is selected so as not to overlap the natural frequency of the exhaust-gas burner. By means of the combination of these measures according to the invention, the resonance behavior of the exhaust-gas burner can advantageously be improved, such that high combustion stability can be ensured.
In one embodiment, it is proposed that the diameter D1 of the inlet line is selected so as to lie between 25 mm and 40 mm.
In one advantageous embodiment, it may be provided that the length L2 of the outlet line is selected so as to lie in the range from approximately 100 mm to approximately 115 mm. Preferably, the diameter D2 of the outlet line may then be selected so as to lie in the range from approximately 25 mm to approximately 30 mm.
A motor vehicle according to the invention is distinguished by the fact that the exhaust-gas burner is designed as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 4.
Further features and advantages of the present invention will become clear from the following description of preferred exemplary embodiments with reference to the appended drawings, in which: figure 1 is a schematically highly simplified illustration that shows the basic construction of an exhaust-gas burner for a motor vehicle, figure 2 is a graphical illustration that shows the influence of the diameter and of the length of an inlet line of the exhaust-gas burner on the combustion stability thereof, figure 3 is a graphical illustration that shows the influence of the length of an outlet line of the exhaust-gas burner on the operation irregularity thereof.
Based on the schematically highly simplified illustration in figure 1, the basic technical construction of an exhaust-gas burner 1 for a motor vehicle, which is arranged in an exhaust-gas treatment device of the motor vehicle and thus forms a part thereof, will firstly be discussed in more detail below. It is emphasized at this juncture that the schematic illustration in figure 1 serves exclusively for the purpose of providing an overview of the individual technical components of the exhaust-gas burner 1. Geometrical configurations and particular dimensions of individual components of the exhaust-gas burner 1 consequently cannot be derived from the illustration as per figure 1.
The exhaust-gas burner 1 comprises a combustion chamber 2, a tubular inlet line 3 and a tubular outlet line 4, which are fluidically connected to the combustion chamber 2. A fluid, in particular process air, can flow into the combustion chamber 2 through the inlet line 3. Furthermore, the exhaust-gas burner 1 comprises an injection valve 5 which opens into the combustion chamber 2 and by means of which a defined fuel quantity is injected with a defined injection frequency into the combustion chamber 2 during the operation of the exhaust-gas burner 1. Furthermore, the exhaust-gas burner 1 has an ignition device 9 which extends into the combustion chamber 2 and which is configured to ignite and thus burn the fuel-fluid mixture, in particular the fuel-process air mixture, within the combustion chamber 2. The gas formed during this combustion process subsequently flows through the outlet line 4 and exits the exhaust-gas burner 1.
It has been found that the resonance behavior of the exhaust-gas burner 1 influences the combustion stability thereof and, under some circumstances, can also lead to an unstable combustion. Important variables that have an influence on the resonance behavior of the exhaust-gas burner 1 are in particular the geometry of the inlet line 3, the geometry of the outlet line 4, the geometry of the combustion chamber 2 and the injection frequency with which the fuel is injected by means of the injection valve 5 into the combustion chamber 2.
Figure 2 graphically illustrates the influences of the diameter D1 and of the length Li of the inlet line 3 on the combustion stability of the exhaust-gas burner 1. In a first value pair range 6 of the diameter D1 and of the length L1 of the inlet line 3, which in this illustration is separated by a straight line 7 from a second value pair range 8 of the diameter Di and of the length L1 of the inlet line 3, a stable combustion occurs. By contrast, the combustion in the second value pair range 8 is unstable, such that a non-ideal resonance behavior of the exhaust-gas burner 1 is present there. Consequently, the diameter D1 and the length L1 of the inlet line 3 of the exhaust-gas burner 1 should be selected such that the value pairs always lie within the first value pair range 6. It is clear from this illustration that, in the case of a small diameter D1 of the inlet line 3, the length L1 thereof should likewise be selected to be relatively shod.
If the diameter D1 of the inlet line 3 is selected so as to lie between 25 mm and 40 mm, it is advantageous if the length L1 of the inlet line 3 is selected so as to lie between approximately 90 mm and 120 mm. A stable combustion can always be ensured in these ranges.
Referring to figure 3, said figure shows a number of results of tests that illustrate the influence of the length L2 of the outlet line 4 on the operation irregularity of the exhaust-gas burner 1. It can be seen from this illustration that the length L2 of the outlet line 4 should be selected such that the following applies: L2 200 mm. In this way, it is advantageously achieved that the operation irregularity always lies in the range of approximately 1% and below. Preferably, the length L2 of the outlet line 4 should be selected so as to lie in the range from approximately 100 mm to approximately 115 mm if the diameter D2 of the outlet line 4 lies in the range from approximately 25 mm to approximately 30 mm.
The resonance or natural frequencies of the exhaust-gas burner 1 are in particular dependent on the temperature, the geometry of the combustion chamber 2 and the inlet geometry. Therefore, the injection frequency of the injection valve 5 of the exhaust-gas burner 1 is selected so as not to overlap the natural frequency of the exhaust-gas burner 1.
