Abstract: Due to changes in a flow of an air-fuel mixture in a cylinder, reliable ignition due to spark discharge may not be possible. Therefore, an ignition control unit 24 includes a secondary voltage calculation unit 31 that calculates an average value of a secondary voltage generated on a secondary side of an ignition coil, an irregular flow ratio calculation unit 32 that calculates a ratio of cycles in which the average value of the secondary voltage is equal to or less than a set average value with respect to a cycle of the internal combustion engine in a predetermined period as an irregular flow ratio indicating that the flow of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder is irregular, and an ignition operation amount correction unit 37 that corrects an ignition operation amount so that the irregular flow ratio is equal to or less than the set ratio value that is the target to be reached of the irregular flow ratio.

Abstract: Provided is a control device of an internal combustion engine capable of increasing the temperature of a catalyst and the temperature of coolant more efficient1y than a conventional waste heat control device. A control device acquires a coolant temperature T_cw and a catalyst temperature T_cat of an exhaust system and controls an ignition timing θ of the internal combustion engine. The control device executes coolant heating control for increasing the energy distribution from the internal combustion engine to the coolant when the coolant temperature T_cw is equal to or less than a first threshold, and catalyst heating control for increasing the energy distribution from the internal combustion engine to the exhaust gas when the catalyst temperature T_cat is equal to or less than a second threshold.

Abstract: In an engine including an auxiliary chamber having an ignition plug therein, an amount of heat generated in the auxiliary chamber tends to be large, and thus it is necessary to suppress abnormal combustion. However, when a sensor is added to the ignition plug, a manufacturing cost of the ignition plug tends to increase. An ECU 2 includes an auxiliary chamber temperature estimation unit 21 that estimates a temperature of the auxiliary chamber 42, and an ignition control unit 22 that delays an ignition timing at a first decrease degree defined in accordance with a change amount of the ignition timing with respect to the temperature of the auxiliary combustion chamber as the temperature of the auxiliary chamber 42 increases in a case where the estimated temperature of the auxiliary chamber 42 is included in a middle temperature region equal to or lower than a first set temperature.

Abstract: Provided is a control device for an internal combustion engine capable of realizing an operation of the internal combustion engine in a state in which a dilution is close to a limit. A processor (CPU 23a) of a control device for an internal combustion engine calculates a change amount of a parameter (for example, a combustion center position) indicating a combustion state of the internal combustion engine (combustion center change amount calculation unit 32). The processor (CPU 23a) corrects an operation amount of an actuator (for example, an EGR valve) that adjusts a dilution of an air-fuel mixture according to a difference between the change amount of the parameter indicating the combustion state and a target value of the change amount, and brings the change amount close to the target value (actuator operation amount correction unit 33).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a control unit for controlling pre-warming process of an engine of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). The method comprises determining start-up time of the engine. The method also comprises determining engine heating time for the engine. The pre-warming process of the engine is initiated prior to start up time of the engine. The process of pre-warming is discontinued when the determined start-up time of the engine is greater than the engine heating time and the process is restarted when the determined start-up time of the engine is less than the engine heating time and when the pre-warming process of the engine is discontinued. The above-mentioned process is reiterated at plurality of time intervals for controlling the pre-warming process of the engine which results in energy efficiency and sufficient heat for warm-up of the engine.
