摘要:
A system for combusting volatile vapors includes a carburetor having intake valves for receiving base fuel from a fuel source, ambient combustion air, and volatile vapors from a vapor source. A plurality of sensors measure and generate sensor data based on a respective plurality of physical properties associated with the carburetor and associate combustion engine operation. One or more programmable controllers receive the sensor data and control the intake valves to regulate respective ratios of the fuel, air, volatile vapors drawn through the carburetor based on the received sensor data. To increase the burn of volatile vapors, an engine loading system automatically operated by the controller(s) applies an automatically adjustable braking load on the engine. The load level applied is based on the sensor data and commensurate with maintaining stable engine running conditions. The loading system decreases time necessary to remediate a site.

A hybrid powertrain includes an internal combustion engine, an electro-mechanical transmission and an electric machine. In an engine starting routine, flow control devices located proximate each combustion chamber in the engine initially restrict airflow into the cylinders to allow for a starter motor to rotate the engine at lower expansion and compression torque whereafter rotation of the engine is transitioned to the electric machine.

An exhaust sensor control system for an exhaust sensor is mounted in an exhaust path of an internal combustion engine, wherein the exhaust sensor includes a sensor element for generating an output in accordance with the status of an exhaust gas and a heater for heating the sensor element. The exhaust sensor control system includes a recovery value counting means for counting the elapsed time or the cumulative intake air amount after internal combustion engine startup as a characteristics recovery value; a heater control means for controlling the heater with a recovery target temperature; a stop period counting means for counting stop period during which the internal combustion engine is stopped; and a determination value correction means for decreasing the characteristics recovery value or increasing a recovery determination value with an increase in the stop period during which the internal combustion engine is stopped.

An oxygen sensor is mounted in an exhaust path of an internal combustion engine. The status of an exhaust gas is detected in accordance with the output of the oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor incorporates a heater for heating an element of the sensor. In a region in which the temperature of the sensor element is below 300° C., an adsorbable species becomes adsorbed. In a region in which the exhaust pipe temperature is above 80° C., the adsorbable species becomes adsorbed remarkably. Power supply control is continuously exercised over the heater so as to maintain the sensor element at a temperature of 300° C. or higher until the exhaust pipe temperature drops below 80° C. after an internal combustion engine stop. The power supply to the heater is shut off after the exhaust pipe temperature drops below 80° C.

This air quantity estimation apparatus includes models M2 to M7 which are configured on the basis of physical laws. The apparatus estimates pressure Pic and temperature Tic of air within the intercooler, by use of the compressor model M4 and the intercooler model M5, in consideration of a first energy Ecm, which a supercharger 91 (a compressor 91a) imparts to air supplied into an intercooler 45, and a second energy, which is exchanged between a wall of the intercooler and air within the intercooler. The apparatus estimates cylinder intake-air quantity KLfwd at a future point in time later than a present point in time based on the estimated pressure and the estimated temperature of air within the intercooler.

摘要:
In order to restrict an over-temperature-rising of a diesel particulate filter (DPF), an electronic control unit (ECU) computes a flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing through the DPF so that temperature of the DPF is kept at a temperature in which the DPF can be regenerated. By adjusting a position of a throttle valve, a fresh air flow rate is adjusted so that the flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing through the DPF is equal to a target flow rate of the exhaust gas.

A method for operating an engine in a vehicle, the engine having at least a cylinder, is described. The method comprises decreasing rotational speed of the engine; and when said engine speed falls in a specified region, adjusting a valve timing of the cylinder to generate one of expansion or compression braking torque to stop rotation of said engine in a desired range.
