    摘要: The invention is directed to a method for checking the tightness of a tank-venting system used with an internal combustion engine having an intake pipe. The tank-venting system includes a fuel tank wherein fuel vapor forms, a storage device connected to the fuel tank, the storage device having a vent opening and a device for closing the vent opening, and a tank-venting valve interconnecting the intake pipe and the storage device whereby the fuel vapor is conducted from the tank to the intake pipe via the storage device and the tank-venting valve. The method includes the steps of: (a) during operation of the engine and while the venting opening is closed, carrying out one of the following: (a1) opening the tank-venting valve and drawing a predetermined quantity of gaseous substance through the tank-venting valve, or (a2) opening the tank-venting valve and drawing a gaseous substance through the tank-venting valve so long until a predetermined underpressure is reached in the tank-venting system, so that a pressure fluctuation is produced in the tank-venting system with the pressure fluctuation being characterized by a plurality of characteristic variables; (b) evaluating at least one of the characteristic variables to judge the tightness of the tank-venting system.

    摘要: The invention is directed to a method of checking a tank-venting apparatus for a motor vehicle equipped with a fuel tank and an internal combustion engine having an intake pipe. The apparatus includes an adsorption filter having a venting end and an intake end, a supply line connecting the intake end to the tank and a connecting line interconnecting the intake pipe of the engine and the intake end of the adsorption filter. A tank-venting valve is mounted in the connecting line between the intake pipe and the intake end of the adsorption filter and a drive unit for actuating the tank-venting valve. The method includes the steps of: changing the open state of the tank-venting valve when a pregiven operating state range of the engine is present; detecting the difference pressure between the pressure at the intake end of the adsorption filter and the ambient pressure; checking if the difference pressure or the end value of the difference pressure change lies in a predetermined range after the open state of the tank-venting valve is changed; and, issuing a fault announcement if neither the difference pressure, the time constant of the difference pressure change nor the end value of the difference pressure change lies in said predetermined range. The invention utilizes the realization that the difference pressure is based on the gas flow into and out of the adsorption filter. The difference pressure drops when the outflow is clogged or when there is a leak. On the other hand, the difference pressure increases when the inflow is clogged. In this way, the operability of the tank-venting apparatus can be checked in a simple manner.

    摘要: A method for determining a gas charge of an internal combustion engine having an intake manifold. The intake manifold has a gas mixture, which is a fresh air/fuel mixture and an exhaust gas, and further has a gas mass flow from the intake manifold and an intake manifold pressure. The method includes the steps of determining a partial pressure of the fresh air/fuel mixture in the gas mass flow by setting up a mass balance for a fresh air/fuel mixture mass flow, determining a partial pressure of the exhaust gas in the gas mass flow by setting up a mass balance for an exhaust gas mass flow, and determining a gas mass flow via a throttle based on a function that depends on a temperature compensation factor, a pressure compensation factor and a factor depending on a ratio of a pressure downstream of the throttle to a pressure upstream of the throttle. The pressure downstream of the throttle corresponds to the intake manifold pressure.

    摘要: The method for controlling operation of a vehicle having at least two possible operating modes includes calculating and/or determining the operating variables and/or control variables of at least one active one of at least two possible operating modes in a first continually repeated predetermined time interval and calculating and/or determining the operating variables and/or control variables of at least one inactive one of the at least two possible operating modes in at least one other continually repeated predetermined time interval. The first predetermined time interval is shorter than any of the one or more other predetermined time interval(s). A device for performing the method is also described.
