Abstract

An exhaust gas purification system includes a dosing control unit that controls a supply module to supply urea water between a dosing valve and a urea tank in order to remove urea water accumulated in the dosing valve, when receiving a diesel particulate filter regeneration authorization request from an engine control unit, and then transmits the authorization to the engine control unit, when determining that an NH 3 amount of a selective reduction catalyst is less than or equal to a prescribed value.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An exhaust gas purification system comprising:
a diesel particulate filter connected to an exhaust pipe;
a selective catalytic reduction device connected to a downstream side of the diesel particulate filter;
a dosing valve for injecting urea water on an upstream side of the selective catalytic reduction device;
a supply line for supplying urea water from a urea tank to the dosing valve, and returning the urea water from the dosing valve to the urea tank;
a dosing control unit for controlling the dosing valve and the supply line in order to determine an amount of urea water to be injected from the dosing valve according to an NH 3 amount in the selective catalytic reduction device and an NOx amount in exhaust gas; and
an engine control module for detecting a particulate matter deposition amount in the diesel particulate filter and performing control of regeneration of the diesel particulate filter by flowing exhaust gas at a high temperature to the diesel particulate filter,
wherein the engine control module transmits a regeneration authorization request to the dosing control unit prior to the regeneration, the dosing control unit determines the NH 3 amount in the selective catalytic reduction device and transmits the regeneration authorization to the engine control module, when the determined NH 3 amount is less than or equal to a prescribed value, and the engine control module receives the regeneration authorization and executes the regeneration, and
wherein the dosing control unit controls the supply-module line to inject the urea water in the dosing valve into the exhaust pipe in order to remove the urea water from the dosing valve, when receiving the regeneration authorization request from the engine control module, replaces the urea water in the dosing valve with non-high-temperature urea water by injecting just the urea water in the dosing valve into the exhaust pipe only once, and then transmits the regeneration authorization to the engine control module, when determining that the NH 3 amount in the selective catalytic reduction device is less than or equal to the prescribed value.

2. The exhaust gas purification system according to claim 1 , wherein the dosing control unit intermittently opens the dosing valve in order to prevent adhesion of the urea water in the dosing valve, when an exhaust gas temperature is less than an activation temperature of the selective catalytic reduction device and is more than or equal to a crystallization temperature of the urea water.

3. The exhaust gas purification system according to claim 1 , wherein the dosing control unit opens the dosing valve and controls the supply line to return the urea water inside the dosing valve to the urea tank in order to prevent adhesion of the urea water in the dosing valve, when an exhaust gas temperature is less than an activation temperature of the selective catalytic reduction device and is more than or equal to a crystallization temperature of the urea water.

4. The exhaust gas purification system according to claim 2 , wherein the activation temperature of the selective catalytic reduction device is more than or equal to 190° C., and the crystallization temperature of the urea water is more than or equal to 104° C.

5. The exhaust gas purification system according to claim 3 , wherein the activation temperature of the selective catalytic reduction device is more than or equal to 190° C., and the crystallization temperature of the urea water is more than or equal to 104° C.

6. The exhaust gas purification system according to claim 1 , wherein the supply line is provided between the urea tank and the dosing valve, and includes a pump for pumping the urea water and a reverting valve for switching a liquid feed passage by the pump.

7. The exhaust gas purification system according to claim 2 , wherein the supply line is provided between the urea tank and the dosing valve, and includes a pump for pumping the urea water and a reverting valve for switching a liquid feed passage by the pump.

8. The exhaust gas purification system according to claim 3 , wherein the supply line is provided between the urea tank and the dosing valve, and includes a pump for pumping the urea water and a reverting valve for switching a liquid feed passage by the pump.

9. The exhaust gas purification system according to claim 4 , wherein the supply line is provided between the urea tank and the dosing valve, and includes a pump for pumping the urea water and a reverting valve for switching a liquid feed passage by the pump.

10. The exhaust gas purification system according to claim 5 , wherein the supply line is provided between the urea tank and the dosing valve, and includes a pump for pumping the urea water and a reverting valve for switching a liquid feed passage by the pump.
