An air-fuel ratio control apparatus in which an air-fuel ratio of a mixture gas supplied to an engine, especially, a gas engine, is controlled in accordance with an output signal of each of oxygen concentration sensors disposed in upper and lower streams of an exhaust gas catalyzer of the engine. The output signal of the oxygen concentration sensor disposed on the upper stream side of the catalyzer is provided as one input signal of an air-fuel ratio control unit and the output signal of the oxygen concentration sensor disposed on the lower stream side of the catalyzer is provided as an input signal of an output signal correction amount determination unit, respectively. A mixing member for mixing an exhaust gas is disposed in an upper stream of each oxygen concentration sensor to detect the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gas which is well mixed. The air-fuel ratio control unit controls an air-fuel ratio of a mixture gas in accordance with the output signal of the oxygen concentration sensor disposed on the upper stream side of the catalyzer and an output signal correction amount which is an output signal of the output signal correction amount determination unit. Since the exhaust gas is sufficiently mixed by the mixing member, variations of a measured value caused by the attachment position of each oxygen concentration sensor ar eliminated, thereby making it possible to control the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas to a value close to a theoretical air-fuel ratio with a satisfactory precision.

An O2 amount in the intake air is determined based on a fresh air and an EGR gas. A consumed O2 amount is determined with a command injection amount Qr. Then, the consumed O2 amount is subtracted from the O2 amount in the intake air to obtain an exhaust O2 amount. An exhaust O2 concentration is estimated based on the exhaust O2 amount. According to the invention, the system is not affected by a delay for the exhaust gas to reach an O2 sensor and a delay of the chemical reaction in the O2 sensor. Therefore, the exhaust O2 concentration can be highly precisely estimated compare to the case in which the exhaust O2 concentration is detected by the O2 sensor.

A temperature projecting system includes a temperature sensor for monitoring a temperature of an objective portion where the temperature changes depending on an engine operating condition. The temperature projecting system projects an actual temperature of the objective portion based on the monitored temperature but free of a first-order lag of the temperature sensor. A temperature control system includes the temperature projecting system. The temperature control system derives a correction amount for a basic control amount of an actuator based on a difference between the projected actual temperature and a target temperature. The basic control amount is corrected by the correction amount to derive a corrected control amount which controls the engine operating condition and thus the temperature of the objective portion.
摘要:
An air-fuel ratio feedback control apparatus for a gas engine. A mixer mixes intake air and a fuel gas. A subsidiary supply path supplies at least one of the intake air and the fuel gas downstream of the mixer. Oxygen concentration sensors detect a concentration of oxygen in an exhaust gas; and operation condition detectors detect operating conditions of the gas engine. A basic amount setting unit sets a basic amount of at least one of the intake air and the fuel gas supplied through the subsidiary supply path. A correction amount setting unit sets a correction amount proportional to a total fuel gas supply rate, and a control amount setting unit for setting a control amount of at least one of the intake air and the fuel gas supplied through the subsidiary supply path by adding the basic amount and the correction amount together, whereby the air-fuel ratio of the gas engine can be controlled at a desired value even when a bypass supply ratio of the fuel gas varies.
摘要:
An air-fuel ratio control apparatus for an engine for controlling a fuel injection amount so that an air-fuel ratio of a mixture gas which is supplied to the engine is set to a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is disclosed. The apparatus has a first oxygen concentration sensor on the upstream side of a catalyst arranged in an exhaust pipe of the engine and a second oxygen concentration sensor on the downstream side, respectively. The first sensor gives to the apparatus a first linear detection signal for the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas. The second sensor gives to the apparatus a second detection signal indicating whether the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas is rich or lean for the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. A target air-fuel ratio is set in accordance with the second detection signal and the first detection signal and the target air-fuel ratio are compared, thereby controlling a fuel injection amount. Thus, a deviation between the actual air-fuel ratio and the first detection signal can be accurately corrected and the air-fuel ratio can be accurately controlled to a value in a region where a high purification factor of the catalyst is derived.

An engine torque control apparatus is applied to an engine control system comprising an engine for rotating an output shaft by using torque generated through combustion in cylinders. In the apparatus, exhaust gas passing through an exhaust passage of the engine is partially recirculated into an intake passage of the engine. Also, variable control is conducted in the apparatus, when an air-fuel ratio indicating a proportion between air and fuel supplied into the cylinders of the engine is changed to a leaner air-fuel ratio, so that torque parameters for increasing/decreasing output torque of the engine can be variably controlled. As a result, torque fluctuation associated with a temporarily changing recirculated uncombusted fuel quantity can be cancelled in a manner suitable for the temporarily changing recirculated uncombusted fuel quantity, at least during a predetermined period immediately after timing for changing the air-fuel ratio.
摘要:
A fuel injection controller of an internal combustion engine decreases a target intake quantity stepwise and increases an opening degree command value of an EGR valve stepwise when the controller switches control to rich combustion control. Accordingly, an intake quantity gradually decreases and an EGR quantity gradually increases, so an oxygen quantity flowing into a combustion chamber (cylinder inflow oxygen quantity) gradually decreases. The injection quantity is gradually increased in accordance with the gradual decrease of the oxygen quantity. Thus, the fuel injection controller can perform processing for making an air fuel ratio rich in order to discharge nitrogen oxides from an occlusion agent while appropriately inhibiting torque fluctuation.

The internal combustion engine control apparatus includes a calculation function of calculating an energy generation rate of an energy generated by combustion of fuel injected into a combustion chamber of a compression-ignition internal combustion engine, and an ignition detection function of detecting an ignition timing of the fuel in the combustion chamber on the basis of a timing at which the energy generation rate exceeds a first threshold value. When the energy generation rate due to a main injection, which is an object of ignition timing detection by the ignition detection function, exceeds the first threshold value at a plurality of timings, the ignition detection function determines an earliest one of the plurality of the timings as the ignition timing of the main injection.
摘要:
An abnormality determination device of a cylinder pressure sensor calculates a gain (sensing sensitivity coefficient) and an offset (bias) indicating an output characteristic of the cylinder pressure sensor. The device determines existence or nonexistence of an abnormality in the gain and the offset respectively. When the device determines that the abnormality exists, the device performs failsafe processing set in modes different from each other between the case of the abnormality in the gain and the case of the abnormality in the offset. As the failsafe processing in the case of the abnormality in the gain, the device performs processing for substantially prohibiting usage of a sensor value of the cylinder pressure sensor in control (fuel injection timing control) by using an alternative value (specified value) instead of the sensor value of the cylinder pressure sensor.
