摘要:
An engine that re-circulates its exhaust gas suffers decreased accuracy in estimating an EGR rate real-time especially while the operating state of the engine 19 is in a transitional state, which often results in torque fluctuations and deteriorated exhaust gas. A sensor 12 for directly detecting an EGR flow rate is disposed in an EGR path 9. An EGR rate and in-cylinder oxygen concentration are calculated from the output value of that sensor 12. In addition, when this EGR rate calculation method is used, the calculation is properly switched between a steady operation state characterized by a low load and small rotational fluctuations and a transitional operating state including the acceleration and deceleration. This makes it possible to correctly estimate the EGR rate and the in-cylinder oxygen concentration under a wide range of engine operation conditions, and thereby to avoid the fluctuation of torque and the deterioration of exhaust gas.

To provide a control apparatus and method for a homogeneous charge compression-ignited internal-combustion engine, adapted to reduce combustion noise, as well as fluctuations in torque, during switching from spark-ignited combustion to homogeneous charge compression-ignited combustion. In accordance with information on the operational state of the internal-combustion engine, a combustion mode switching discriminator 21 selects a homogeneous charge compression-ignited combustion mode if the engine is operating under the conditions that allow homogeneous charge compression-ignited combustion. If the engine is operating under the conditions that do not allow homogeneous charge compression-ignited combustion, the combustion mode switching discriminator 21 selects a spark-ignited combustion mode. Immediately after combustion mode switching from spark-ignited combustion to homogeneous charge compression-ignited combustion, a combustion mode switching corrector 28 outputs switching correction quantities with respect to operating quantities for homogeneous charge compression-ignited combustion. The operating quantities for homogeneous charge compression-ignited combustion are adjusted using the switching correction quantities that the combustion mode switching corrector 28 has output with respect to the operating quantities for homogeneous charge compression-ignited combustion immediately after switching to the homogeneous charge compression-ignited combustion mode. New operating quantities obtained from the adjustments are output as control quantities from a combustion mode selector 27.

In an engine controller capable of carrying out spark ignition type combustion and compressed self-ignition type combustion, in order to suppress operation performance deterioration and exhaust performance deterioration at the time of switching a combustion mode from the compressed self-ignition type combustion to the spark ignition type combustion, intake pipe pressure downstream a throttle is quickly reduced by making the throttle opening degree smaller than a target throttle opening degree of the spark ignition type combustion immediately after switching for a certain period during the combustion mode is switched from the compressed self-ignition type combustion to the spark ignition type combustion. As a result, responsiveness of an intake amount at the time of switching the combustion mode from the compressed self-ignition type combustion to the spark ignition type combustion is enhanced, and combustion switching without exhaust deterioration and torque variation is realized.

摘要:
The present invention relates to an exhaust gas recirculation system which prevents an EGR sensor installed in an engine's EGR path (9) from being soiled by soiling substances in exhaust. A catalyst (23, 24, 7) is positioned upstream of the EGR sensor (12) to purify the soiling substances in EGR gas. The status of the EGR sensor (12) is properly controlled in accordance with the conditions of the catalyst (23, 24, 7). This ensures the EGR sensor (12) is less likely to be affected by the soiling substances in the exhaust under any circumstances of the EGR path (9) and allows the EGR sensor (12) to avoid a decrease in the accuracy of EGR gas detection. An alternative configuration may be employed such that the EGR gas recirculates from the downstream side of a catalyst (7) installed in a main exhaust path.
