摘要:
A method of minimizing torque disturbances in an internal combustion engine for a vehicle having a lean NOx trap that is periodically purged. The method includes the steps of generating feedforward values of first engine characteristics as a function of desired engine torque and generating feedback values of second engine characteristics as a function of intake manifold pressure. Target values are then calculated for predetermined engine variables based on the first and second engine characteristics. Engine variables are then set to the target values to compensate for torque disturbances resulting from the lean NOx trap purge cycle. According to the disclosed method, the feedforward path schedules the throttle, fuel rate and spark timing based on an engine model to produce a demanded engine torque. The feedback path then uses the values of fuel rate and spark timing to compensate for torque variations. This is accomplished by determining an error term as a function of a reference trajectory intake manifold pressure and measured intake manifold pressure.

An arrangement of a four cycle internal combustion engine 7 is provided. In the preferred embodiment the engine 7 has a plurality of combustion chambers 18 having reciprocating pistons 22 mounted therein. A fuel injector 80 is provided for each combustion chamber. The fuel injector injects a stratified 80 charge into the combustion chamber 18 upon a compression stroke of the piston 22. An intake manifold 32 is provided to provide air to each combustion chamber. A charging device 38 is provided to pressurize the air within the intake manifold 32. Preferably the charging device is a variable geometry turbocharger 38. The pressurizing of the air within the intake manifold 32 allows the engine 7 to extend the stratified charge operation of the engine 7 and facilitates in increased gas mileage by allowing the engine 7 to stay in a stratified mode of operation longer than prior stratified charged internal combustion engines.

A method (100) and system for actively controlling the temperature of engine (10) exhaust gas entering an aftertreatment device and thereby controlling undesirable emissions. Through control of the turbine blade position of a variable geometry turbocharger (16), the temperature of the exhaust gas entering the aftertreatment device is maintained within the operating temperature window for the device, and at the same time, achieves the fuel economy benefits associated with turbocharging.

A method and system for controlling the air charge in a direct injection spark ignition engine that provides proportional plus integral control in positioning an electronic throttle control valve and an exhaust gas recirculating valve in order to compensate for uncertainties in the EGR valve flow area. An adaptation algorithm is used to improve the estimate of in-cylinder flow and throttle open-loop control.
摘要:
Purging of a NOX trap is initiated if the estimated mass of NOX in the trap exceeds a NOX mass threshold value unless the estimated probability that the engine will be subjected to high load and high speed conditions exceed a probability threshold value, in which event the decision whether to initiate the purging of said trap is delayed for a predetermined time interval.

An adaptive control method for managing a LNT purge cycle includes a model for predicting the feedgas NOx and CO emissions for both stratified and homogeneous engine operating conditions where the parameters of the model are updated based on real-time HEGO sensor measurements in order to adjust the model to ensure robustness of performance in determining the entry and exit condition for purge operation to thereby reduces HC/CO breakthrough, and to improve purge efficiency and fuel economy.
摘要:
A method of modeling and controlling a direct injection stratified charge (DISC) engine coupled to a lean NOx trap that is periodically purged. The method comprises the steps of receiving as inputs a plurality of engine operating parameters and generating an indicated engine torque value, feedgas emission values, and an exhaust gas temperature value. Each of the output values is generated in accordance with a respective hybrid DISC engine model including an engine torque model, a feedgas emissions model, and an exhaust gas temperature model. The feedgas emissions model and exhaust gas temperature models further include submodels for generating output values as a function of either stratified or homogeneous engine operation.
摘要:
A system and method for controlling a direct injection stratified charge engine during transitions between homogeneous and stratified operating modes position the throttle to a position corresponding to the desired operating mode to begin the transition and use valve timing control to provide a rapid change in air flow to traverse the gap between acceptable air/fuel ratios associated with the homogeneous and stratified modes. The invention reduces torque variations while improving engine performance by coordinating control of an electronic throttle and valve timing to reduce or eliminate step changes in fuel previously required to traverse the air/fuel ratio gap between modes. Primary reliance on air flow and fuel flow to reduce torque variations and improve driveability reduces reliance on spark timing and associated performance penalties.
摘要:
An calibration optimization method for a direct injection spark ignition (DISI) engine with a lean NOx trap is disclosed. The method relies on a fixed structure optimization whereby reasonable powertrain operating policies are assumed and parametrized with a small number of variables with some of the variables playing the role of parameters for an inner loop optimization of an outer loop/inner loop two-stage optimization formulation. The values of the parameters are determined via a numerical solution of the resulting (outer loop) optimization to minimize the fuel consumption over the drive cycle subject to emission constraints.
