    摘要: An engine bank-to-bank airflow balancing technique includes calculating current and offset volumetric efficiencies of the engine and calculating a slope representing (i) a difference between the offset and current volumetric efficiencies and (ii) a difference between offset and current intake camshaft positions. Based on the respective exhaust gas oxygen concentrations, the technique involves calculating a volumetric efficiency correction corresponding to each cylinder bank and based on the slope and the volumetric efficiency corrections, calculating target intake camshaft position shifts. The technique further involves controlling offsets of the intake camshafts based on the target intake camshaft position shifts. After a predetermined number of target intake camshaft position shifts are determined and stored with respect to various combinations of engine speed and a ratio of intake manifold pressure to barometric pressure, final intake camshaft position shifts may be determined and utilized when determining the intake camshaft positions.

    摘要: A control system and method for an engine including a turbocharger without a surge valve involve utilizing one or more pressure sensors configured to measure air pressure in an intake system of the engine, the intake system comprising a compressor of the turbocharger and a throttle valve downstream from the compressor, and a controller configured to control the engine to avoid surge at the compressor and eliminate a need for the surge valve by determining a desired position for the throttle valve based on a driver requested engine torque, determining a minimum mass flow through the compressor that avoids surge based on the measured air pressure in the intake system and a predetermined compressor map, and commanding the throttle valve to a target position to maintain at least the minimum compressor mass flow, wherein the target position is greater than the desired position, thereby avoiding surge at the compressor.

    摘要: Techniques for learning endstop position(s) of an actuator for a wastegate valve include detecting a learn condition and, in response to detecting the learn condition, performing a learn procedure for the actuator endstop position(s). The learn procedure includes commanding the actuator to a desired position past the endstop position corresponding to a fully-closed wastegate valve while rate-limiting a velocity of the actuator. When the difference reaches its maximum allowed value and the velocity falls below a fraction of its rate limit, the endstop position is learned. When the wastegate valve is requested open, the actuator is then controlled using the learned endstop position. Reference stiffness for a fully-closed wastegate valve could be obtained, and subsequent stiffness checks could then be periodically performed and, if less than the reference stiffness, a duty cycle of the actuator could be increased during open-loop control.

    摘要: A system for a vehicle includes a mode control module and a valve control module. The mode control module selectively sets an ignition mode for an engine to one of a spark ignition (SI) mode and a homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) mode. In response to the ignition mode transitioning from the SI mode to the HCCI mode during a first engine cycle, the valve control module operates an exhaust valve in a high lift mode during a second engine cycle, operates an intake valve in a low lift mode during the second engine cycle, and operates the exhaust and intake valves in the low lift mode during a third engine cycle. The first engine cycle is before the second engine cycle, and the second engine cycle is before the third engine cycle.
