    TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a process for an HC dosing system (Hydro Carbon, carbonate) comprising a dosing unit for dosing fuel into an engine exhaust duct. The invention also relates to a computer program product comprising program code for a computer for implementing a method according to the invention. The invention also relates to an HC dosing system and a motor vehicle equipped with the HC dosing system.
    BACKGROUND In today's vehicles, e.g. diesel as a fuel in DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) systems including a particulate filter. The particle filter is arranged to capture e.g. diesel particles and soot. During active regeneration of the particle filter, diesel is fed to an exhaust pipe downstream of an engine, which diesel is led into an oxidation catalyst, also called DOC. In the oxidation catalyst, said diesel is combusted and provides a homing of the temperature of the exhaust system. In this way, active regeneration of the particulate filter arranged downstream of the oxidation catalyst can be achieved.
    One type of DPF system includes a container containing diesel. The DPF system also has a pump which is arranged to inflate said diesel Iran container via a suction hose and supply it via a pressurized hose to a dosing unit which is arranged at an exhaust system of the vehicle, such as e.g. at an exhaust pipe of the exhaust system. The container can be the vehicle's fuel tank or a separate container with the DPF system. The dosing unit is arranged to inject a required amount of diesel into the exhaust pipe upstream of the particulate filter according to drivers stored in a control unit of the vehicle. In order to more easily regulate the pressure at small or no dosage amounts, the system also consists of a return hose which is arranged from a pressure side of the system back to the container. The dosing can, for example, take place at a predetermined rate, such as between 1 Hz, where the dosing unit is open during a certain predetermined period of each rate, whereby fueled industry can be dosed. 2 There is a constant need to reduce the amount of emissions from engines of motor vehicles. This applies not least to heavy motor vehicles such as e.g. trucks and buses because legal requirements for alit minor emissions are continuously tightened. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the HC dosing system in vehicles performs a satisfactory function so that performance is not reduced.
    In many operational cases in the vehicle, no fuel is dosed in the exhaust system, as active regeneration is not required as often. Such an operating case is when regeneration of the particle filter is not required, since the particle filter is not considered to have a sufficiently high degree of storage. Another such operational case can e.g. be cla the vehicle's exhaust temperature is lower than a certain predetermined temperature. Another such operating case when no dosing takes place may be when a radiating temperature of a surface of or component in of the exhaust duct from the vehicle's engine is lower than a certain predetermined temperature. In this case, the dosed industry cannot be evaporated to any great extent. Leakage of fuel can have a negative effect on a vehicle's finishing system. It should be noted that a finishing system for, for example, heavy vehicles of today accounts for a significant part of the total value of the vehicle.
    The dosing unit is thus kept closed in many operating cases so that dosing of fuel is simply not undesirable.
    Because the fuel in the HC dosing system is pressurized, unwanted leakage of fuel from the dosing unit to the exhaust duct can occur for various reasons, even during periods when the dosing unit is closed in order not to dose fuel. In the event of adverse conditions, this leakage can cause undesired transient temperature rises in exhaust gases from said engine, which can adversely affect the HC dosing system. This can also have a negative impact on an SCR system having the vehicle.
    A problem associated with fuel leakage has the metering unit when dosing should not take place is that this fuel is sometimes not evaporated or burned in a correct manner, this fuel can be stored in catalysts arranged downstream of a metering station of a 3 exhaust duct from an engine. This can adversely affect said catalysts or lead to undesired combustion at the wrong location of the exhaust duct. Unwanted leakage of fuel at the dosing unit can adversely affect a finishing system, including in thermal terms.
    It is therefore unreasonable to ensure that no or minimal leakage of fuel occurs when the dosing unit is closed.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a new and advantageous method in an HC dosing system for preventing leakage of fuel when a dosing unit of the HC dosing system is closed.
    Another object of the invention is to provide a new and advantageous HC dosing system and a new and advantageous computer program with an HC dosing system.
    A further object of the invention is to provide a method, an HC dosing system and a computer program in an HC dosing system for achieving improved performance of a motor vehicle.
    A further object of the invention is to provide a method, an HC dosing system and a computer program in an HC dosing system for reducing the risk of undesired temperature rises of exhaust gases of an exhaust duct from an engine.
    A further object of the invention is to provide a method, an HC dosing system and a computer program in an HC dosing system for reducing the risk of leakage of fuel from a dosing unit for dosing fuel to an exhaust duct to conduct exhaust gases from an engine.
    These objects are achieved by a method of an HC dosing system according to claim 1. According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of an HC dosing system comprising a dosing unit for dosing fuel into an engine exhaust duct upstream of a particulate filter for purifying exhaust gases from said engine. , wherein said HC dosing system includes pressurizing means (230) for supplying fuel from a container to said dosing unit arranged to dose pressurize said fuel to said exhaust duct. The method comprises the step of: - during periods of non-continuous dosing of fuel, during continued sustained operation of said pressurizing means, lowering the pressure of said branch at the dosing unit compared with the pressure at continuous dosing.
    According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of an HC metering system for purifying exhaust gases from an engine wherein said HC metering system includes pressurizing means for feeding fuel from a container to a metering unit arranged to pressurize said fuel into an exhaust duct, the method comprising the step of during periods of non-continuous dosing of fuel, during operation of said pressurizing means, lowering the pressure of said fuel at the dosing unit compared with the pressure at continuous dosing.
    According to an aspect of the invention, the pressurizing means can supply fuel from a container to said dosing unit and thereby pressurize said fuel to a lamp pressure, for example a pressure between 5 and 15 Bar, for example 9 Bar, when dosing said fuel to said exhaust duct. During periods of non-continuous dosing of the industry, the pressure in the industry can be lowered to a higher pressure level in Iran (where dosing takes place continuously) to a lower pressure level, for example a pressure level between 1 and 6 Bar, such as 2 Bar or 5 Bar. According to one example, the pressure in the industry can be reduced from a pressure level of, for example, 50 Bar, when dosing takes place, to a pressure level of, for example, 5 Bar, where continuous dosing does not take place.
    By lowering the pressure of the industry at the dosing unit, the risk of leakage of the industry during periods of non-dosing of said industry is reduced. A leakage of fuel can adversely affect the function of the HC dosing system, which can mean that undesirable exhaust gases are emitted from a finishing system of the vehicle. Leakage of fuel in the dosing unit can cause a trafficking surface of the exhaust duct to be adversely affected, which can adversely affect the function of the HC dosing system.
    D5 the pressurizing means also during non-dosing and is in operation, it is faster to work up the pressure again to a level dA dosing of the fuel takes place in conjunction with the procedure where the pressurizing means is switched off completely. At the same time, advantageous cooling of the dosing unit by means of a flowing fuel around it can be maintained.
    A period of non-continuous dosing of fuel can be a certain predetermined time that is installable. An example of a time interval within which said installable predetermined time is may be between 1 s and 60 s, but other predetermined time periods are also possible.
    A period of non-continuous dosing of fuel may involve a certain fixed number of beats (IA dosing does not take place.
    According to one aspect of the invention, the pressure of the industry at the dosage unit may be reduced from a first higher pressure level to a lower second pressure level after a predetermined period of non-dosing and then back to said first higher pressure level, or other appropriate higher pressure level, after a predetermined period of dosing.
    According to an exemplary embodiment, a pressure of said fuel at the dosing unit can be increased from said lower pressure level to said higher pressure level at a fixed dosing cup. In this case, dosing of the fuel can be resumed (started) at the said pressure at the fuel when the said higher pressure level5.
    According to one aspect of the invention, the pressure of the industry at the metering unit can be collected at a certain predetermined pressure drop rate.
    According to one aspect of the invention, a period of non-continuous dosing may occur depending on the operating condition of the engine. An operating case where continuous dosing does not occur may be when the exhaust gases from the engine have a temperature below a certain predetermined temperature. Another operating case where continuous dosing does not occur may be when the engine is idling. There are also other operational cases as continuous dosing of fuel does not take place. In a number of operating cases when continuous dosing does not take place, the inventive method can be used.
    Dosing of fuel by means of the dosing unit takes place first when the particle filter is to be regenerated.
    According to another aspect of the present invention, the pressure of the industry during periods of non-continuous dosing can only be reduced when certain criteria are met. These criteria may, for example, be one or more of the following: the temperature of the exhaust gases is below a certain predetermined value; and / or leakage of the industry of the dosing unit has been detected.
    Said lacquer can be fixed in an appropriate manner. According to this aspect and only in cases cla one or more of the above criteria are met sanks pressure during periods of non-dosing of fuel.
    The upright operation of the said pressurizing means meant that the pressurizing means is in operation, i.e. it does not close ay.
    The pressurizing means may, for example, comprise a pump, such as a diaphragm pump.
    The method may comprise the step of: lowering the pressure of said fuel at the metering unit by reducing a speed of said pressurizing means. This provides an effective way of lowering said pressure in an appropriate manner. Said pressurizing means can then be controlled to other said pressures relatively quickly.
    According to one aspect of the invention, the pressurizing means is a pump for which the speed can be adjusted to reduce its power and thereby reduce the pressure of the industry at said dosing unit. The method may comprise the step of: - lowering the pressure of said fuel at the dosing unit by reducing a stroke frequency of said pressurizing means. In doing so, an effective way of collecting said pressure is achieved. Said pressurizing means can then be controlled to other said pressures relatively quickly.
    According to one aspect of the invention, the pressurizing means is a pump for which the stroke frequency can be adjusted to reduce the power and thereby reduce the pressure of the fuel at the dosing unit.
    The method may include the step of: - lowering the pressure of said fuel at the metering unit by controlling a valve configuration of a downstream side of the metering unit. This provides an effective way to reduce said pressure. Said pressurizing means can then be controlled to change said pressure relatively quickly. By increasing a flow of brittleness of the valve configuration, the pressure of the fuel at the dosing unit can be reduced in an efficient manner.
    According to one aspect of the invention, the pressure of the industry at the dosing unit is lowered by fully opening said valve configuration located downstream of the dosing unit. At normal pressure, during continuous dosing of fuel, the valve configuration may be closed or only be open to a certain extent. With a pressure drop of the industry, as with non-continuous dosing of industry, the valve configuration can be opened more and the industry can pass more easily through the valve configuration, which means that the pressure of the industry at the dosing unit decreases.
    For pressurizing means with a controllable displacement, said control of a pressure of the branch at the dosing unit can be achieved during the maintained speed. That is, according to one embodiment, said pressure changes can be achieved without changing a speed of said pressure protection means. The method may comprise the step of: lowering the pressure of said industry at the dosing unit by directing said industry Iran said pressurizing means to said container past said dosing unit.
    According to one aspect, when the pressure is to be collected, the industry can be led past the dosing unit, from the pressurizing means to the container. A valve configuration consisting of one or more valves can, for example, control the flow of fuel, either to the dosing unit or past the dosing unit. Said first control unit may be arranged to control said valve configuration in accordance with the present invention.
    The method may comprise the step of: lowering the pressure of said fuel at the dosing unit by controlling a feeding means arranged downstream of the dosing unit.
    By placing a feeding means downstream of the dosing unit, the pressure of the industry can be reduced by the feeding means collecting the pressure downstream of the dosing unit.
    The supply means may, for example, be a pump such as a diaphragm pump or another type of pump.
    The method may comprise the step of substantially lowering the pressure of said fuel at the dosing unit.
    The pressure can, for example, be reduced from a level of 9 Bar to a level of 2 Bar. Alternatively, the pressure can be reduced from a level of 9 Bar to a level of 5 Bar. Lowering the pressure significantly can mean that the pressure drops by at least 20% relative to the pressure of the reducing agent during continuous dosing. Reducing the pressure significantly can mean that the pressure drops by at least 40% relative to the pressure in the industry during continuous dosing. Lowering the pressure of the said branch at the dosing unit can significantly mean lowering the pressure by more than 80% relative to the pressure of the branch during continuous dosing.
    The process may involve a stepless lowering of the pressure. This stepless lowering of the pressure of the industry can be accomplished by flaking the components which lower the pressure such as: the pressurizing means; a valve configuration downstream of the dosing unit; At least one valve configuration that directs fuel past the dosing unit.
    The stepless collection can take place at varying speeds. The speed can vary depending on various parameters such as engine type, etc., and it can also vary during an ongoing reduction of the pressure of the industry.
    The process may involve a reduction in the pressure of the industry in steps.
    This lowering of the pressure of the industry in steps can be accomplished with one of the components which can effect the lowering of the pressure skarn: the pressurizing means; a valve configuration downstream of the dosing unit; At least one valve configuration that directs fuel past the dosing unit.
    The pressure in the industry can be reduced in any number of steps.
    The method may comprise the step of: in the case of resumed continuous dosing, raising the pressure of said industry at the dosing unit.
    The method may comprise the step of: raising the pressure of said industry at the dosing unit before continuous dosing is resumed or started.
    The method may comprise the step of: raising the pressure of said industry at the dosing unit before continuous dosing is resumed or started on the basis of a fixed dosing request.
    After a period of non-dosing of the industry, the industry can be dosed again. In this case, the pressure of the branch at the dosing unit is raised again to a suitable pressure level which is set for dosing the branch.
    The method may comprise the step of: - at a predetermined time before a fixed time cla continuous dosing of fuel should cease, start pressure reduction of said industry at the dosing unit.
    In order for the pressure in the industry to be at a 15g level when the dosing unit is closed, the pressure drop according to an exemplary embodiment can be started a predetermined time before a fixed time when dosing of the industry is to cease.
    The procedure is easy to implement in existing motor vehicles. Program code for controlling a pressure drop of a fuel at a dosing unit in an HC dosing system to prevent leakage of fuel c15 the dosing unit is closed, according to an aspect of the invention, can be installed in a control unit of the vehicle during manufacture thereof.

Alternatively, program code to perform the innovative procedure can be installed in a control unit has the vehicle when upgrading at a service station. In this case, the program mode can be loaded into a memory in the control unit.

    After the procedure step s310, a subsequent procedure step s320 is performed.
    The process step s320 comprises the step of lowering the pressure P in the industry under predetermined operating conditions of said HC dosing system. Said lowering may include a lowering from a pressure P1 to a pressure P2, as described with reference to, for example, Figures 4a-4d.

    The process step s330 may include the step of determining the need to increase the pressure of the industry. During re-dosing of the fuel, the pressure of the fuel in line 272 at the dosing unit 250 Ater must be increased to obtain a correct dosing of fuel in the exhaust duct. Alternatively, said needs can be determined on the basis of a request to start continuous dosing of fuel. After step s330, a subsequent step s340 is performed.
    The process step s340 involves, if the need is determined, starting dosing of fuel from the dosing unit 250 to the exhaust duct 290 and thereby again raising the pressure P pA suitably, for example from a pressure P2 to a pressure P1. Alternatively, the pressure P can be increased in a suitable manner, for example from a pressure P2 to a pressure P1, after which dosing of fuel from the dosing unit 250 to the exhaust duct 290 is started. After the process step s340, the inventive process is completed. Referring to Figure 4a, a diagram is shown in which the pressure P of the branch at the dosing unit 250 is indicated as a function of time T.

At a time T1, a pressure drop in the industry at the dosing unit is initiated from a first predetermined pressure level P1 to a second predetermined pressure level P2. The time Ti occurs at a certain predetermined time period after TO. This time period can be an appropriate time period, for example 2 seconds. Figure 4a shows an example where the pressure drop takes place steplessly. At a certain time period after T1, at a time 12, the pressure P night has the second predetermined level P2. The predetermined time period between time Ti and time 12, and thus the pressure drop speed, may, for example, depend on various operating factors of the vehicle. The first pressure level P1 can, for example, be 9 Bar. The second pressure level P2 can be, for example, 2 Bar. The time period between the times T1 and T2 can be, for example, 5 seconds. When initiating dosing of fuel by means of the dosing unit 250, the pressure P can be controlled to a suitable pressure level, for example to said first pressure level P1, in a suitable manner, for example stepless.
    According to an exemplary embodiment, said pressure P1 where applicable can be lowered directly to said pressure P2. According to an exemplary embodiment, said pressure P2, where applicable, can be applied directly to said pressure P1.

The pressure P can be supplied by said pressure sensor 279. Alternatively, the pressure P can be calculated by the first control unit 200 in a suitable manner. At a time TWO rod dosing of the branch ay. At a time T1, the pressure drop of the industry at the dosing unit 250 is initiated from a first predetermined pressure level P1 to a second predetermined pressure level P2. The time Ti occurs at a certain predetermined time period after TO. This time period can be an appropriate time period, for example 2 seconds. Figure 4b illustrates an embodiment where the pressure drop takes place in an appropriate number of steps, for example 5 steps. Said steps can be on board different sizes. Said steps can be on board the same size. At a certain time period after Ti, at a time 12, the pressure P night has the second predetermined level P2. The 28 predetermined time period between time Ti and time 12, as well as the steps in which the pressure drop takes place, may depend on different operating factors of the vehicle. The first pressure level P1 can, for example, be 9 Bar. The second pressure level P2 can be, for example, 2 Bar. The time period between the times T1 and T2 can be, for example, 5 seconds. A step can be, for example, 1 or 2 Bar.

    Referring to Figure 4c, a diagram is shown in which the pressure P of the branch at the dosing unit 250 is indicated as a function of the time T. The pressure P can be supplied by said pressure sensor 279. Alternatively, the pressure P can be calculated by the first control unit 200 in a suitable manner. At a time TWO rod dosing of the branch ay. At a time Ti, a pressure drop in the industry at the dosing unit 250 is initiated from a first predetermined pressure level P1 to a predetermined pressure level PX. The time Ti occurs at a certain predetermined time period after TO. This time period can be an appropriate time period, for example 5 seconds. Figure 4c illustrates an embodiment where the pressure drop takes place in two steps. At a certain time period after Ti, a pressure drop is initiated when the pressure drops steplessly from said first predetermined pressure level P1 to said pressure level PX. The pressure P reaches said pressure level PX at a second time T2. The time T2 occurs at a certain predetermined time period after the time 11. This time period can be an appropriate time period, for example 2 seconds. The predetermined time period between time Ti and time 12, and thus the pressure drop speed, may, for example, depend on various operating factors of the vehicle. In this case, the said pressure level PX is maintained at a predetermined time T3. At said time T3 a second stepless pressure drop is initiated from said pressure level PX to a second pressure level P2. The pressure P reaches said second pressure level P2 at a fourth time 14. The time T4 occurs at a certain predetermined time period after the time T3. This time period can be an appropriate time period, for example 3 seconds. The predetermined time period between time T3 and time T4, and thus the pressure drop rate, may, for example, depend on various operating factors of the vehicle. The first pressure level P1 can, for example, be Bar. The second pressure level P2 can be, for example, 2Bar. The pressure level PX can be, for example, Bar. When initiating dosing of fuel by means of the dosing unit 250, the pressure P 29 can be controlled to a suitable pressure level, for example to said first pressure level P1, p5 suitably set, for example stepless.
    By first controlling the pressure P from said level P1 to said level PX, and thereby waiting for a certain period of time, an advantageous possibility is obtained for evaluation and choice as to whether a further pressure drop from level PX to said level P2 is to be carried out or not. In the event that a further pressure drop from the level PX is not required, at the start of dosing, a pressure increase to said level P1 can be achieved relatively quickly, compared with a pressure increase in the pressure level P2 to the pressure level P1.

The time Ti occurs at a certain predetermined time period after TO. This time period can be an appropriate time period, for example 3 seconds. Figure 4c illustrates an embodiment in which the pressure reduction takes place in two steps. At a certain time period after Ti, a pressure drop is initiated (IA the pressure drops to said level PX. At time T2, which occurs a certain fee-determined time period after Ti, for example 10 seconds, a second pressure drop is initiated from the pressure level PX to a second pressure level P2. the first pressure level P1 can be, for example, 15 Bar. The second pressure level P2 can be, for example, 5 Bar. The pressure level PX can be, for example, 10 Bar. In this case, said pressure drops are made substantially instantaneously. pressure level, for example to said first pressure level 5 P1, p5 is suitably set, for example stepless.
