Abstract:
An exhaust gas recirculation control device of an engine is provided. The device includes: an exhaust turbocharger having a turbine disposed in an exhaust passage and a compressor disposed in an intake passage; an intercooler disposed in the intake passage downstream of the compressor; a low-pressure EGR passage connecting the exhaust passage downstream of the turbine to the intake passage upstream of the compressor; a low-pressure EGR valve disposed in the low-pressure EGR passage and for changing a cross-sectional area thereof; a high-pressure EGR passage connecting the exhaust passage upstream of the turbine to the intake passage downstream of the intercooler; a high-pressure EGR valve disposed in the high-pressure EGR passage and for changing a cross-sectional area thereof; a valve control device for controlling openings of the low-pressure and high-pressure EGR valves; and a gear range detector for detecting a gear range of a transmission.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are described for controlling fuel injection in an engine equipped with a dual injector system including a port injector and a direct injector. A ratio of port injected fuel to direct injected fuel is adjusted based at least on intake valve temperature. The proportion of fuel port injected into a cylinder is increased as the intake valve temperature for the given cylinder increases to improve fuel vaporization in the intake port.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine includes a first bank and a second bank. The first bank includes a continuously variable valve apparatus that continuously changes a valve characteristic of an intake valve. The second bank includes a multi-stage variable valve apparatus that changes the valve characteristic in multiple stages. An engine control apparatus adjusts the intake air amount of the first bank by adjusting the valve characteristic that is changed by the continuously variable valve apparatus, based on the intake air amount of the second bank.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for refurbishing an engine using ionized air. During a service mode, a service technician may stream ionized air from an external ionized air source to an engine cylinder via the engine intake system. Concurrently, the service technician may connect a service tool to a vehicle diagnostics port to relay operator input, the input allowing a vehicle control system to rotate the engine and adjust engine throttle and cams.
Abstract:
A control system of an engine is provided. The control system includes an exhaust variable valve mechanism for changing an operation mode of an exhaust valve, a fuel injection controlling module for controlling a fuel injector to inject fuel at a fuel injection timing associated with an operating state of the engine, a variable valve mechanism controlling module for operating the exhaust valve via the exhaust variable valve mechanism in a first operation mode when the operating state of the engine is within a compression self-ignition range, and in a second operation mode when the operating state of the engine is within a spark-ignition range, and a first in-cylinder state quantity estimating module for estimating a first state quantity inside the cylinder relating to a burned gas amount within the cylinder.
Abstract:
Various systems and method for controlling exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) in an internal combustion engine are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes injecting fuel to a subset of cylinders that includes less than all cylinders of a first cylinder group to obtain a target EGR rate. The first cylinder group provides exhaust gas through an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) passage structure fluidly coupled between the first cylinder group and an intake passage structure. The method further includes injecting fuel to at least one cylinder of a second cylinder group. The second cylinder group provides substantially no exhaust gas through the EGR passage structure.
Abstract:
A variable valve operating system assembled in an engine includes a first rocker arm contacting with a valve, a second rocker arm no contacting with any valve, a lost motion spring bringing the second rocker arm into contact with a cam, and switching device for switching the first/second rocker arms to a coupled or uncoupled state. An operation control apparatus for the engine includes element for determining whether or not an engine speed is higher than a first speed at which supply of fuel is allowed to be temporarily stopped, and element for setting a requested quantity of increase/decrease in internal resistance of the engine. When the engine speed is higher than the first speed and an accelerator opening degree is 0%, the switching device switches the first/second rocker arms to the coupled or uncoupled state based on the requested quantity.
Abstract:
A system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a desired capacity module, an anticipated torque request module, and an engine actuator module. The desired capacity module generates a desired torque capacity of an engine at a future time based on a present torque request and a maximum torque output of the engine. The anticipated torque request module generates an anticipated torque request based on the desired torque capacity. The engine actuator module controls an actuator of the engine at a present time based on the anticipated torque request.
Abstract:
A method and vehicle embodying the method are provided for deceleration of a vehicle comprising a combustion engine comprising at least one cylinder to which fuel is supplied, a piston in each cylinder, at least one inlet valve in each cylinder, which is connected with an inlet system, a first camshaft controlling the inlet valve, at least one exhaust valve in each cylinder, which is connected with an exhaust system, a second camshaft controlling the at least one exhaust valve and a crankshaft controlling each camshaft. The method comprising a) closing the fuel supply to all cylinders, b) phase-shifting each camshaft in relation to the crankshaft to a position where no air is supplied to the exhaust system when the pistons move forwards and backwards in each cylinder, and c) controlling a gearbox to engage a gear that increases the crankshaft's rotation speed, which decreases the vehicle's speed.
