Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to dual fuel internal combustion engines with multiple cylinder banks and/or cylinder subsets, and exhaust aftertreatment systems associated therewith. Systems and methods are disclosed that relate to engine operations involving fuelling control for fuel cutout of one or more of the cylinder banks and/or cylinder subsets in response to a fuel cutout event to increase gaseous fuel substitution on the other cylinder banks and/or cylinder subsets to satisfy the torque request and thermal management conditions of the aftertreatment system.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for controlling operation of dual fuel internal combustion engines in response to cylinder pressure based determinations are disclosed. The techniques control fuelling contributions from a first fuel source and a second fuel source to achieve desired operational outcomes in response to the cylinder pressure based determinations.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and apparatus for controlling operation of dual fuel engines are disclosed that regulate the fuelling amounts provided by a first fuel and a second fuel during operation of the engine. The first fuel can be a liquid fuel and the second fuel can be a gaseous fuel. The fuelling amounts are controlled to improve operational outcomes of the duel fuel engine.
Abstract:
The system comprises a fuel description module structured to provide a first signal, and a control circuit operable to receive the first signal. The fuel description module comprises a fuel consumption detection package. The fuel consumption detection package an intake manifold temperature sensor and an exhaust temperature sensor, wherein the first signal corresponds to a difference between the exhaust manifold temperature (EMT) and the intake manifold temperature (IMT). The control circuit is responsive to the first signal to produce a second signal indicating a total energy content (Efuel) of fuel supplied to the dual-fuel engine. The Efuel value indicating the total energy content provided to the engine from a first fuel and a second fuel.
Abstract:
A system and method are disclosed for desulfating an oxidation catalyst in an aftertreatment system of a multifuel internal combustion engine. The oxidation catalyst can be desulfated in response to one or more desulfation triggering events. The desulfation process includes providing hydrocarbons from one or all of the multiple fuel sources to an upstream oxidation catalyst. The hydrocarbons react with the exhaust gas within the upstream oxidation catalyst to deplete oxygen in the exhaust flow to thereby reduce the desulfation temperature of the oxidation catalyst while elevating a temperature of the exhaust gas to a desulfation temperature range.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for controlling operation of dual fuel internal combustion engines are disclosed. The control techniques provide for override of a dual fuel mode of operation of the engine by selection of a diesel only fuelling mode in response to one or more operating conditions of the internal combustion engine.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and apparatus for controlling operation of an engine structured to combust gaseous fuel such as a dual fuel engine, including an estimation of key parameters dependent on natural gas quality, are disclosed. The natural gas quality parameters are estimated from natural gas properties obtained from various sensed parameters associated with the engine.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and apparatus for controlling operation of dual fuel engines are disclosed that regulate the fuelling amounts provided by a first fuel and a second fuel during operation of the engine. The first fuel can be a liquid fuel and the second fuel can be a gaseous fuel. The fuelling amounts are controlled to improve operational outcomes of the duel fuel engine.
Abstract:
An engine starting system and technique include selecting a target engine speed profile from a plurality of engine speed profiles based on operator inputs and operating parameters of the vehicle. A feedback control strategy is used to substantially conform the engine speed with the target speed profile during starting until a target speed is reached in which fueling is initiated to start the engine.
