Abstract: Operating a gaseous fuel engine system includes determining a detonation level in combustion cylinders in an engine in the gaseous fuel engine system, comparing the detonation level to a detonation level limit, calculating a detonation error, and limiting an engine load of the engine to a derated engine load level based on a reduction to intake manifold air pressure (IMAP) that is performed responsive to the detonation error. The gaseous fuel engine system can be operated at a reduced, derated engine load, rather than being shut down, and permitted to increase in engine load level as detonation events clear. Related control logic and structure are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for controlling an internal combustion engine includes receiving a request for a desired output from the internal combustion engine, receiving sensor information indicative of at least an engine speed or a pressure of gas provided to the internal combustion engine, and setting a changeable limit associated with a supply of air and fuel to the internal combustion engine. The method also includes, based at least in part on the received sensor information, changing the changeable limit to define a changed limit and reducing an output of the internal combustion engine based on the changed limit.

Abstract: A control system and method to control cold transient response of an engine. The control system can provide compressed air from a compressed air source to a turbocharger to boost speed of a turbine of the turbocharger, based on determined desired operating characteristics associated with upstream or downstream operation of the engine relative to the turbocharger. The control system can receive data corresponding to actual operating characteristics associated with the upstream or downstream operation of the engine relative to the turbocharger, compare the desired operating characteristics with the data corresponding to actual operating characteristics, and control the air assist from the compressed air source based on the comparison.

Abstract: An engine control system including an engine configured to generate exhaust comprising an exhaust constituent and to operate in a first operating mode or a second operating mode different from the first operating mode. The engine control system can include a plurality of sensors configured to generate temperature data corresponding to at least one of a measured exhaust temperature and an ambient temperature, and exhaust constituent data corresponding to an exhaust constituent concentration. The engine control system can include a controller operatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and the engine, and configured to receive the temperature data and the exhaust constituent data from the plurality of sensors, and change an operating state of the engine from the first operating mode to the second operating mode when the temperature data is less than a predetermined temperature threshold and the exhaust constituent data is greater than a predetermined exhaust constituent threshold.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes an inline turbocharger and at least a first inline turbocharger that has a first turbine air valve, and a first inline compressor that has a first compressor air valve. A control valve is responsive to commands from an electronic controller to move the air valves between open and closed positions. The electronic controller monitors operating parameters of the engine to diagnose a fault. determine whether an air valve is stuck open or closed, and adjust a priority schedule for activating or deactivating the first inline turbocharger based on the type of fault.

Abstract: An engine speed control system for an internal combustion engine includes a throttle, and a sensor that monitors a parameter indicative of pressure or density of fuel and air in an inlet manifold of the engine. The electronic control unit is coupled with the throttle and the sensor and structured to calculate a target mass flow through the throttle, a feedforward control term based on the target mass flow, and a feedforward control term based on data produced by the sensor. The electronic control unit is further structured to vary a position of the throttle based on the feedforward and feedback control terms to adjust a mass flow through the throttle toward the target mass flow. The control system is applicable in throttle governed as well as fuel governed systems.

Abstract: An emissions control system includes a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) device, one or more monitoring devices and one or more sensors. The system further includes a controller configured to determine an operating emissions gas conversion ratio of the SCR device. The controller is further configured to determine an injection amount of a reduction agent to maintain an operating emissions gas conversion ratio of the SCR device and to adjust the operating emissions gas conversion ratio to a target emissions gas conversion ratio by adjusting the injection amount of the reduction agent to the SCR device. The system utilizes a Time-Temperature model to determine the target emissions gas conversion ratio and/or reduction agent injection ratio. The system further includes a reduction agent injector configured to supply the adjusted injection amount of the reduction agent to the SCR device.
