摘要:
An evaporative fuel-purging control system for an internal combustion engine, which controls purging of a mixture of evaporative fuel from a fuel tank and air comprises a purge control valve arranged across a purging passage for controlling the flow rate of evaporative fuel from the fuel tank to an intake passage. The flow rate of evaporative fuel is detected and compared with a desired flow rate commensurate with an operating condition of the engine. The valve opening of the purge control valve is controlled in response to results of the comparison. The change rate of the valve opening is varied according to the concentration of evaporative fuel in the mixture. Specifically, the change rate is decreased as the evaporative fuel concentration is higher.
摘要:
A device for measuring a flow rate of a mixture of evaporative fuel and air supplied to an internal combustion engine comprises a plurality of flowmeters arranged in a purging passage connecting between a canister and an intake passage of the engine for purging the mixture of evaporative fuel and air therethrough into the intake passage. The flowmeters have different output characteristics relative to concentration of the evaporative fuel in the mixture. At least one of the concentration of the evaporative fuel in the mixture and the volumetric flow rate of the mixture are detected based on outputs from the flowmeters. In an air-fuel ratio control system incorporating the above device, the weight per unit time of evaporative fuel supplied to the intake system is calculated from the detected concentration of the evaporative fuel and the detected volumetric flow rate of the mixture. The air-fuel ratio of a total air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine is corrected by the use of the ratio of the calculated weight per unit time of evaporative fuel supplied by purging to the intake system to weight per unit time of fuel supplied by injection to the engine.

A starting fuel supply control system for an internal combustion engine having a purging passage connecting between a canister and an intake passage for purging a mixture of evaporative fuel from a fuel tank and air therethrough into the intake passage, and a purge control valve arranged across the purging passage for controlling the flow rate of the evaporative fuel to be supplied to the intake passage. An ECU detects a flow rate of an evaporative fuel component in the mixture flowing in the purging passage, and sets an amount of fuel to be supplied to the engine at the start thereof, based upon the detected flow rate of the evaporative fuel component.
摘要:
An evaporative fuel-purging control system for an internal combustion engine having a canister in which evaporative fuel from a fuel tank is adsorbed. One or more purging control valves are arranged across a purging pipe extending between the canister and an intake system. An ECU integrates an estimated value of a flow rate of evaporative fuel supplied to the engine, which is estimated as a purging flow rate in the purging pipe, in accordance with engine operating conditions when a specific one of the purging control valves is opened to thereby obtain an integrated purging flow rate value, and subtracts a predetermined decremental value from the integrated purging flow rate value when the specific one purging control valve is closed. When the integrated purging flow rate value is equal to or smaller than a predetermined lower limit value, the ECU decreases the flow rate of the evaporative fuel supplied to the intake system, based on the integrated purging flow rate value obtained above. When an air-fuel ratio correction coefficient value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value and at the same time the integrated purging flow rate value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the ECU increases the flow rate, based upon the integrated purging flow rate value.
摘要:
An evaporative fuel-purging control system for an internal combustion engine incorporates a flowmeter arranged across a purging passage for outputting an output value indicative of the flow rate of a mixture of evaporative fuel and air being purged through the purging passage. Abnormality of the flowmeter is determined, based on a value of the output value therefrom assumed when the purging of the gaseous mixture is stopped. Alternatively or in combination, abnormality of the flowmeter is determined, based on a value of the output value therefrom assumed when the purging of the gaseous mixture is resumed after stoppage thereof.

An evaporative fuel-purging control system for an internal combustion engine having a canister in which evaporative fuel from a fuel tank is absorped. Purge control valves are arranged between the canister and the intake system of the engine for controlling the flow rate of evaporative fuel supplied from the canister to the intake system. An ECU is responsive to an output from an exhaust gas ingredient concentration sensor arranged in the exhaust system of the engine for calculating an air-fuel ratio correction coefficient, based upon the output from the exhaust gas ingredient concentration sensor and controlling the air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the engine by the use of the air-fuel ratio correction coefficient. The ECU calculates an average value of the air-fuel ratio correction coefficient, and is responsive to the calculated average value for controlling the purge control valves.
摘要:
An evaporative fuel-purging control system for an internal combustion engine comprises a mass flowmeter and a differential pressure type flowmeter arranged in a purging passage of the engine for measuring a flow rate of a mixture of evaporative fuel and air being purged. The flowmeters have different output characteristics relative to change in the concentration of evaporative fuel in the mixture from each other. Output values from the flowmeters are compared to obtain a difference or a ratio therebetween. Failure of at least one of the flowmeters is detected based upon the difference or the ratio.
摘要:
A mass flowmeter outputs an output value indicative of the flow rate of a gaseous mixture containing evaporative fuel and being purged into the intake system of an internal combustion engine. A calculated value of the flow rate of the mixture is obtained based on a plurality of operating parameters of the engine. The actual flow rate of the mixture and/or the actual flow rate of the evaporative fuel are/is calculated based on the output value from the mass flowmeter and the calculated value based on the engine operating parameters. The concentration of the evaporative fuel is calculated from the calculated actual flow rates of the evaporative fuel and the mixture. The calculated actual flow rate is compared with a desired flow rate value, and a purge control valve is controlled based on results of the comparison. A basic amount of fuel supplied to the engine is corrected based on the calculated actual flow rate of the evaporative fuel.
摘要:
An evaporative fuel-purging control system for an internal combustion engine includes at least one flowmeter arranged across a purging passage for outputting a detection parameter indicative of a flow rate of a gaseous mixtured purged through the purging passage, and a purge control valve arranged across the purging passage for controlling the flow rate of the gaseous mixture based on a control parameter indicative of a control amount for the purge control valve. One of the detection parameter and the control parameter is corrected based on a value of the one of the detection parameter and the control parameter assumed when the other of the detection parameter and the control parameter assumes a value corresponding to a state in which the flow rate of the gaseous mixture is equal to the minimum value.
摘要:
An air-fuel ratio control method for an internal combustion engine. The air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine is feedback-controlled to a predetermined value in response to an output from the exhaust gas ingredient concentration sensor. The temperature of at least one component part of the engine, which should be controlled, is estimated based on the detected temperature of exhaust gases, engine rotational speed, and engine load. The air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture is inhibited from being feedback-controlled but enriched, when the estimated temperature of any one of the at least one component part of the engine is higher than a corresponding predetermined value.
