NOx Adsorbers for Heavy Duty Truck Engines – Testing and Simulation
N. Hakim, J. Hoelzer, Y. Liu Detroit Diesel Corporation - DaimlerChrysler Powersystems
This feasibility study of NOx adsorbers in heavy-duty diesel engines examined three configurations (dual-leg, single-leg and single-leg-bypass) in an integrated experimental setup, composed of a Detroit Diesel Class-8 truck engine, a catalyzed diesel particulate filter and the NOx absorber system. The setup also employed a reductant injection concept, sensors and advanced control strategies. The study included the development of thermal and empirical NOx absorber characteristic models. These models were further applied to the development of regeneration strategies and were used for a comparative performance analysis of the three NOx adsorber configurations. The reported steady-state experimental and simulation results show relatively high NOx conversion efficiencies, with various levels of fuel economy deterioration. Further, the findings confirm that the development of acceptable regeneration and desulfation control logics are a major technical challenge for practical NOx absorber system applications. These logics are further complicated by factors such as engine transient operation, drivability and durability.

Single Leg Control Strategy
• Target: Lambda < 1 and Torque smoothness.
• Approach- Turbo vane position used to force maximum EGR
mass into intake, reducing inlet air mass. This will reduce BTRQ.
- Advanced BOI to compensate for the BTRQ drop.
- More FPC to increase richness of exhaust.

Conclusions-Single Leg
• The simplest A.T. configuration, but engine management and performance is challenging.
• Issues:- The “Ideal” Lambda curve shape when rich.- Driveability (Torque Variation)- Durability(Liner Temperature, cylinder
pressure, turbocharger, …)- Transient control (Closed loop control on
Torque and Lambda)- Desulfation
26
Conclusions- Dual Leg
• The most complex A.T. configuration, but least core engine management modification involved.
• Issues:- Valve mechanism and mechanical durability.- Space claim.- Secondary fuel injection system.- Multiple catalyst reliability. - Transient Control.- Desulfation.
27
Conclusions- Single Leg with Bypass
• A compromise between the single-leg and dual-leg systems.
• Has some common features and challenges of each.
28
Concluding Remarks
• A steady state NOx adsorber regeneration cycle can be designed using a NOx sensor and a Lambda sensor.
• Development of transient regeneration control logic is an order of magnitude more difficult, especially for the single leg system.
• Based on simulation, FTP NOx conversion will be only ~ 50% for the single leg system.
• Thermal stress on the cylinder kit and turbocharger during regeneration cycling must be addressed.
