Abstract: Abstract: This study aims to improve the low NOx conversion efficiency of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system caused by the soluble organic fraction (SOF) deposition of SCR carrier in a diesel engine. A sediment quantity model of SOF deposition was proposed to optimize key parameters using a multi-objective genetic algorithm (GA). Firstly, a road spectrum test at low temperatures was conducted to collect the data of SOF deposition amount in four groups. A SOF high-temperature pyrolysis was carried out to obtain 10 groups of experimental data at a steady-state temperature. Secondly, a model of SOF deposition was established using Matlab/Simulink tools, including SOF raw emission, the SCR carrier of SOF capture, and SOF pyrolysis module. Two ways were selected to calculate the SOF raw emission. One was the theoretical estimation using an approximate linear relationship of SOF with the gaseous unburned hydrocarbons (HC). Another was the direct measurement of SOF raw emission, where the excess air coefficient was used to correct the transient SOF raw emission. The capture efficiency of SOF by SCR carrier was evaluated via mapping the upstream discharge and exhaust gas flow of SCR. A correction was also introduced using the deposition amount of SOF. The SOF pyrolysis was prepared under the component analysis and chemical reaction kinetics model of SOF. Three stages were divided in a pyrolysis process of SOF, including the short, medium, and long chain. The key parameters of SOF pyrolysis were determined, such as the transient correction MAP, activation energy of three stages, pre-exponential factor, and mass proportion coefficient. Thirdly, various multi-objective GAs were evaluated prior to optimization. An interactive adaptive-weight GA (i-awGA) was selected to optimize the key parameters considering both efficiency and accuracy, whereas, a non-dominated sorting GA II (nsGA II) was used to identify the optimal solution, and a strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm (spEA) was utilized to generate the penalty function. Finally, a multi-objective GA optimization was performed on the transient correction MAP and three groups of pyrolysis parameters. In MAP optimization, the number, range, and distribution of MAP points acted by each gene were calculated using the type of MAP, combined with the basic value of MAP and the number of genes. In optimization of pyrolysis parameters, pre-exponential factors were calculated using the activation energy and compensation effect for the physical significance of the model. The average error of low temperature deposition of 4 groups of SOF reached 2.42%, the average error of high temperature pyrolysis of 12 groups reached 4.03%. Specifically, the largest average error of 3.04% was obtained for the low-temperature path deposition in one group of SOF for verification, whereas, the largest average error of 5.41% was for the steady-temperature pyrolysis in two groups. It demonstrates that the proposed model of SOF deposition and the GA optimization was well suitable for the engineering application.
