    摘要: The system for controlling the fuel/air mixture supplied to a lean burn engine when operating on natural gas, gasoline, hydrogen, alcohol, propane, butane, diesel or any other fuel as desired. As specific humidity of air supplied to the lean burn engine increases, the oxygen concentration of exhaust gas discharged by the engine for a given equivalence ratio will decrease. Closed loop fuel control systems typically attempt to maintain a constant exhaust gas oxygen concentration. Therefore, the decrease in the exhaust gas oxygen concentration resulting from increased specific humidity will often be improperly attributed to an excessive supply of fuel and the control system will incorrectly reduce the amount of fuel supplied to the engine. Also, the minimum fuel/air equivalence ratio for a lean burn engine to avoid misfiring will increase as specific humidity increases. A relative humidity sensor to allow the control system to provide a more enriched fuel/air mixture at high specific humidity levels. The level of specific humidity may be used to compensate an output signal from a universal exhaust gas oxygen sensor for changing oxygen concentrations at a desired equivalence ratio due to variation in specific humidity specific humidity. As a result, the control system will maintain the desired efficiency, low exhaust emissions and power level for the associated lean burn engine regardless of the specific humidity level of intake air supplied to the lean burn engine.

    摘要: A control system controls a turbo-charged trottled engine. The control system includes a throttle between the compressor and the engine, a wastegate communicated with exhaust upstream and downstream from the turbine, and a control unit for controlling the throttle and the wastegate. The control unit generates a desired air mass value per engine stroke as a function of a desired fuel flow amount and a stored compressor surge characteristic, generates a desired manifold air pressure value as a function of the desired air mass value and sensed engine parameters, and controls the throttle so that actual manifold air pressure matches the desired manifold air pressure. The control unit also generates a desired pressure boost value as a function of the desired manifold pressure value and a stored compressor surge characteristic, and controls the wastegate so that an actual boost pressure matches the desired boost pressure.
