摘要:
A method for detecting glow ignition of a fuel-air mixture in a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine having at least one first cylinder and at least one second cylinder, the at least one first and second cylinders being connected by a crankshaft, according to which method partial segment times of the at least one first cylinder are measured. The method is characterized in that partial segment times of the at least one second cylinder are measured and a reference characteristic for the glow ignition is formed by a comparison of partial segment times of the at least one first cylinder with partial segment times of the at least one second cylinder and subsequently a signal is generated for the detection of the glow ignition on the basis of the comparison.
摘要:
When executing a Local-learning, an air-fuel ratio detecting time is corrected so that a dispersion of detection values of an air-fuel ratio sensor becomes a maximum value in one cycle of an engine. While executing a cylinder-by-cylinder air-fuel ratio control, a Global-learning is executed. In the Global-learning, the air-fuel ratio detecting time is corrected based on a relationship between a variation in estimated air fuel ratio of each cylinder and a variation in fuel quantity correction value of each cylinder. In the Global-learning, a computer computes a correlation coefficient between the variation in estimated air-fuel ratio and the variation in fuel quantity correction value of the cylinder for each case where the cylinder assumed to correspond to the estimated air fuel ratio is hypothetically varied in multiple ways. Then, the air-fuel ratio detecting time is corrected so that this correlation coefficient becomes a maximum value.

When alcohol mixing fuel is supplied to an internal combustion engine, an intake air flow rate is detected and a basic amplitude amount α of an upstream target air-fuel ratio abyfr corresponding to this detected intake air flow rate is calculated. Next, alcohol concentration in the fuel (in more detail, ethanol concentration Cetha) and a cooling water temperature (or an intake air temperature) are detected, hydrogen concentration Ch in a mixing exhaust gas is calculated based on the detected ethanol concentration Cetha and the detected cooling water temperature (or the detected intake air temperature) amplitude gain β corresponding to the calculated hydrogen concentration is calculated and finally, an amplitude amount (α×β) of the upstream target air-fuel ratio is calculated.

摘要:
A method, apparatus, and system to measure, record, and control exhaust products from an internal combustion engine (ICE) are disclosed. Measurements of the exhaust products of an ICE are recorded and made available. The measurements provide the inputs for one of a variety of different algorithms to determine the proper flow rates for a first and a for second fuel being feed to an ICE to achieve one or more goals relating to at least one of the measured exhaust products. These flow rates are then enforced to control the exhaust products.

摘要:
The control apparatus for the internal combustion engine increases a fuel injection amount under predetermined conditions, such as after the start of the internal combustion engine, at cold time, at acceleration requiring time, at gear shifting time from a neutral to a D-range, for example. When the fuel injection amount is increased during execution of air/fuel ratio feedback control, the feedback control follows the increase amount, and executes correction corresponding to the increase amount. Then, at the point of time when the correction corresponding to the increase amount is completed, the increase of the fuel injection amount is stopped quickly. Thereby, the increase of the fuel injection amount is not continued unnecessarily, and therefore useless consumption of the fuel can be suppressed. Also, it becomes possible to start other controls early by finishing increase quickly. For example, when the canister purge is executed during the increase of the fuel injection amount, it is difficult to distinguish an evaporated fuel amount by purge and an increase amount by the fuel increase, and learning precision of a vapor concentration is lowered. Therefore, purge is not performed during the increase of the fuel injection amount, and the purge control is performed after the fuel increase is stopped quickly, whereby it becomes possible to start purge control early.
摘要:
A target value Vtgt for an output Vout of an O2 sensor 8 (an exhaust gas sensor) disposed downstream of a catalytic converter 4 is set variably depending on a temperature TO2 of an active element 10 of the O2 sensor 8 by a target value setting unit 18, and the air-fuel ratio of an exhaust gas is controlled by an air-fuel ratio control unit 17 to converge the output Vout to the target value Vtgt. An exhaust gas temperature Tgd is estimated by an exhaust temperature observer 19, and the temperature TO2 of the active element 10 is sequentially estimated by an element temperature observer 20 using the estimated value of the exhaust gas temperature Tgd. A heater 13 of the O2 sensor 8 is controlled by a heater controller 22 to keep the temperature TO2 of the active element 10 at a predetermined target value R. The air-fuel ratio is thus controlled to maintain a desired exhaust gas purifying capability of the catalytic converter irrespective of the temperature of the active element of the exhaust gas sensor.
