摘要:
A control system and method to control cold transient response of an engine. The control system can provide compressed air from a compressed air source to a turbocharger to boost speed of a turbine of the turbocharger, based on determined desired operating characteristics associated with upstream or downstream operation of the engine relative to the turbocharger. The control system can receive data corresponding to actual operating characteristics associated with the upstream or downstream operation of the engine relative to the turbocharger, compare the desired operating characteristics with the data corresponding to actual operating characteristics, and control the air assist from the compressed air source based on the comparison.

A control system for controlling pilot fuel injection in a dual fuel engine is disclosed. The control system may determine, using measurements from one or more sensors, one or more combustion parameters associated with the dual fuel engine during operation of the dual fuel engine. The control system may determine an estimated nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions level based on the one or more combustion parameters, and may determine a NOx error based on a comparison between the estimated NOx emissions level and a desired NOx emissions level. The control system may control a quantity of pilot fuel injected into the dual fuel engine based on the NOx error.

Controlling intake pressure in a gaseous fuel internal combustion engine includes calculating a control term in an intake pressure control loop based on a pressure error, and adjusting a throttle valve and a second valve responsive to the control term in first and second control loop cycles. The second valve is within a return conduit returning compressed gases from a location downstream a compressor to a location upstream. A pressure of gaseous fuel and air within the intake conduit is changed via the adjustments so as to reduce the pressure error.

An internal combustion engine having an exhaust log structure onto which a plurality of turbochargers is connected, each turbocharger having a turbine connected to the exhaust log structure and having an inlet fluidly connectable to a respective one of the plurality of outlet ports, an exhaust valve disposed at a turbine outlet such that the flow of exhaust gas out of the turbine is fluidly blocked, and an actuator associated with the exhaust valve and operating to move the exhaust valve from a closed position to an open position and vice versa. An electronic controller provides a command to the actuator to move the exhaust valve between the open and closed positions and is programmed to selectively open two one or more exhaust valves based on an operating condition of the engine.

A method for controlling an air-fuel ratio (AFR) in an engine powered by a gaseous fuel having an unknown composition may comprise receiving an assumed gas species composition for the gaseous fuel, and determining an assumed lower heating value (LHV) for the assumed gas species composition. The method may further comprise determining a perceived lower heating value (LHV) for the gaseous fuel based on a perceived gas mass flow and a gas energy flow for the gaseous fuel, and updating the assumed gas species composition until the assumed LHV and the perceived LHV are aligned. The method may further comprise determining a desired AFR and an airflow necessary to provide the desired AFR using the aligned gas species composition and a desired lambda (λ), and adjusting an air system controller of the engine to provide the airflow.
摘要:
The disclosure provides a method to operate an engine system. The method begins by determination of a current NOx value. If the current NOx value is greater than a first predetermined NOx target, an air-fuel ratio (AFR) set-point is adjusted by a first predetermined value in towards a rich AFR. Upon detection of the current NOx value below the first predetermined NOx target, a first average of NOx values for a first predetermined time is determined. The AFR set-point is adjusted by a second predetermined value and a second average of NOx values for a second predetermined time is determined. A delta NOx value is determined as a difference between the first average and the second average and compared with a second predetermined NOx target. The AFR set-point is determined when the delta NOx value is below the second predetermined NOx target.
