摘要:
A method for detecting improper operation of a charge motion control device (CMC) based on exhaust temperature is disclosed. It has been found that when the charge motion control device is switched between two positions, the exhaust temperature changes by as much as 100 degrees C. The expected exhaust temperature, based on commanded charge motion control device position and current engine operating condition, and the measured exhaust temperature are compared to determine whether the charge motion control device has failed to attain the desired position.

A method for selecting which intake valves are operated in an internal combustion with intake valves operated by more than one type of actuation device is disclosed. A criterion for selecting which valves to operate is energy consumed in operating the valvetrain.

A fuel vapor recovery method and system are disclosed for an engine with a hybrid valvetrain, in which the intake valves are actuated by more than one type of device. Normal fuel vapor recovery purging relies on a depression in intake manifold pressure to cause the flow of purge gases through the fuel vapor recovery system and into the intake manifold. As the hybrid valvetrain engine is unthrottled over much of the engine operating map, purging the fuel vapor recovery system requires decreasing the intake manifold pressure to allow a purge condition. Making a transition to a condition with a depressed manifold pressure is the subject herein.

A system and a method for controlling engine torque in an internal combustion with a randomly operable intake valve and a selectable intake valve is disclosed in which torque is controlled via a throttle valve when the randomly operable intake valve is deactivated and via intake valve closing time of the randomly operable intake valve when the selectable intake valve is deactivated.
摘要:
A method of operating an internal combustion engine in response to a transient load includes the steps of providing an air charge quantity required to produce a commanded air-fuel mixture within the combustion chamber, providing a fuel quantity required to produce a commanded air-fuel mixture within the combustion chamber, and displacing a quantity of the air-fuel mixture from the combustion chamber in response to the transient load. The method is especially advantageous for rapidly affecting engine response to transient loads resulting from sudden load change events, such as traction control, transmission shift and driver demand events.

A piston-type, multicylinder internal combustion engine includes a cylinder block and a cylinder head mounted thereto, with a combustion chamber defined by the cylinder head and the top of the piston, with the engine being fueled by an an in-cylinder gasoline injection system which is centrally located with a spark plug such that the spark plug is closer to exhaust valves than is the injector, and with the injector being closer to the intake valves than the spark plug.

摘要:
A method of controlling fuel supply during a deceleration fuel shutoff mode includes determining the amount of oxygen stored in the catalyst or the temperature thereof and intermittently supplying fuel to the engine such that the fuel reacts in the catalyst to reduce excess oxygen therein.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for making a transition from fueling an engine with hydrogen to another fuel. That other fuel may be gasoline, a gasoline and alcohol mixture, or gaseous fuels, as examples. The other fuel has the capability of providing higher BMEP than the hydrogen because of better air utilization and because the other fuel occupies less volume of the combustion chamber. Because a desirable equivalence ratio to burn hydrogen is at 0.5 or less and a desirable equivalence ratio to burn other fuel is at 1.0, when a demand for BMEP that leads to a transition change from hydrogen fuel to the other fuel, the amount of air supplied to the engine is decreased to provide more torque and vice versa. During a transition in which liquid fuel supply is initiated, it may desirable to continue to provide some hydrogen, not leaner than 0.1 hydrogen equivalence ratio.
摘要:
A method and system for controlling intake valves in an internal combustion with intake valves operated by more than one type of actuation device includes defining operating modes of the intake valve and mapping these onto engine torque and engine speed operating regions. Torque control within regions and steps to accomplish smooth transitions among regions are defined.
