Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention described herein include a control system for a vehicle. The control system includes a control module that dynamically computes a first power value (PC) to be generated by a compressor based on an estimation model of the compressor. The control system further includes a power term estimator module that dynamically computes a second power value (PU) based on a measured compressor pressure ratio (βcmeas) of the compressor. The control module further computes an amount of power to be generated by an engine (Ptdes) by adding the first power value and the second power value. The control module further adjusts an actuator position to generate the amount of power to be generated.

A turbocharger controller includes a turbocharger compressor temperature module having a compressor inlet air temperature input, and a turbocharger compressor pressure module including a compressor inlet pressure input and a compressor outlet pressure input. A memory module includes a compressor outlet temperature calibration map and a compressor pressure ratio look-up table. A turbocharger boost pressure ratio control module is operatively connected to the turbocharger compressor temperature module, the turbocharger compressor pressure module, and the memory module. The turbocharger boost pressure ratio control module is configured to selectively compare compressor outlet pressure and compressor inlet pressure with values in the compressor ratio look-up table to determine a turbocharger boost pressure set point establishing a desired compressor outlet temperature.

Abstract:
A system and method can control exhaust braking in a vehicle. The vehicle includes an engine system. The engine system includes internal combustion engine, an intake manifold, a control module, an exhaust system, and a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) having a turbine. The turbine includes turbine blades and vanes movable with respect to the turbine blades. The method includes the following: (a) receiving an exhaust brake torque request; (b) determining target pumping losses in the internal combustion engine based on the exhaust brake torque request; (c) determining a target exhaust gas pressure within the exhaust system based on the target pumping losses; and (d) determining a target vane position of the vanes based on the target exhaust gas pressure, wherein the target vane position yields an exhaust brake torque in accordance with the exhaust brake torque request.
Abstract:
A system according to the present disclosure includes a coolant flow request module and a pump control module. The coolant flow request module is configured to determine a coolant flow request based on at least one of (i) an outlet temperature of a compressor disposed upstream of a heat exchanger of a charge air cooler, and (ii) an efficiency of a radiator of the charge air cooler. The pump control module is configured to control an output of a pump based on the coolant flow request. The pump circulates coolant through the radiator of the charge air cooler and through the heat exchanger of the charge air cooler when the pump is activated. The heat exchanger is disposed upstream of an intake manifold of an engine.

Abstract:
A method of operating an internal combustion engine having a turbocharger for pressurizing an intake airflow and an after-treatment (AT) system including an AT device for reducing nitrogen oxides (NOX) concentration in the engine exhaust gas. The method includes operating the engine with a variable high-pressure exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and low-pressure EGR split in the intake airflow. The method also includes determining the NOX concentration in the exhaust gas and determining a current high-pressure EGR to low-pressure EGR split in the intake airflow. The method additionally includes determining an EGR corrective factor using the determined current high-pressure EGR to low-pressure EGR split and applying the determined EGR corrective factor to the determined NOX concentration to generate a corrected NOX concentration. Furthermore, the method includes regulating operation of the AT system to treat the exhaust gas via the AT device in response to the generated corrected NOX concentration.
