Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the occurrence of a level difference in an air quantity upon a changeover of superchargers in a control device for an internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: This control device for the internal combustion engine brings its actuating state into a small turbo actuating state mainly actuating a small turbo supercharger 16 on a relatively low-rotation and low-load side, and brings it into a large turbo actuating state mainly actuating a large turbo supercharger 18 on a relatively high-rotation and high-load side. In the small turbo actuating state, filling efficiency improvement control for improving a filling efficiency by the use of a scavenging effect can be executed. Before the changeover from the small turbo actuating state to the large one, the speed of start-up of supercharging pressure by the large turbo supercharger 18 is predicted previously. When the start-up thereof is predicted to be gentle, the range of improvement in the filling efficiency by the filling efficiency improvement control is reduced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce torque reduction in an internal combustion engine as much as possible when recirculation of exhaust gas by an EGR device and rich spike control are performed in an exhaust emission control system of an internal combustion engine equipped with the EGR device that recirculates a part of the exhaust gas further on the downstream side than a reducing agent adding valve in the internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: In the rich spike control, a base air-fuel ratio AFb is reduced within a range of a combustion fluctuation ΔCC not exceeding an allowable limit ΔCCL (S108). When the combustion fluctuation ΔCC exceeds the allowable limit ΔCCL, a base air-fuel ratio AFbs in spike is corrected to the lean side (S213), and when a torque reduction amount ΔTD is greater than an allowable value ΔTDL, the base air-fuel ratio AFbs in spike is corrected to the rich side (S215). When the combustion fluctuation ΔCC exceeds the allowable limit ΔCCL and the torque reduction amount ΔTD is greater than the allowable value ΔTDL, the base air-fuel ratio AFbs in spike is corrected to the lean side and a fuel discharge number EN is increased (S216).
