摘要:
A method for controlling the titre of the exhaust gases in an internal combustion engine. An oxygen sensor provides a signal indicative of a titre (lambda) of the exhaust gases. The method includes selecting respective values of operating parameters on the basis of an objective lambda value and engine-related parameters, calculating a correction parameter on the basis of the respective values of the operating parameters and the lambda signal and calculating an adjustment quantity of fuel on the basis of the correction parameter and a nominal quantity of fuel. The method further includes selecting respective values of a first and a second of the operating parameters, determining magnitudes as a function of the respective values of the first and the second operating parameters and determining a third of the operating parameters as a function of the first and the second operating parameters and a mean value of the correction parameter.
摘要:
A method for estimating the sulfur content in the fuel of an internal combustion engine equipped with a catalyser capable of storing a quantity of sulfur and NOx groups. The method provides use of a current sulfur concentration value (Sold) and a correction of the current sulfur concentration value (Sold) in order to obtain a new sulfur concentration value (Snew). The method includes the steps of estimating a first value (NOxstored1) of the total quantity of NOx groups stored in the catalyser (11) by means of a model of NOx group production by the engine, estimating a second value (NOxstored2) of the total quantity of NOx groups stored by the catalyser by means of a model of storage of the catalyser, and determining an additive correction coefficient (D) as the difference between the first estimated value (NOxstored1) and the second estimated value (NOxstored2).

Method for controlling the strength of the air/fuel mixture supplied to an internal-combustion engine after the engine has been in a fuel cut-off operating condition during which a catalytic converter arranged along the exhaust pipe of the engine is acted on by a flow of air and stores oxygen; the method comprising the steps of measuring the strength of the mixture supplied to the engine by means of an oxygen sensor arranged along the exhaust pipe upstream of the catalytic converter; estimating the quantity of oxygen stored by the catalytic converter during the fuel cut-off condition on the basis of the measured strength; and, at the end of the fuel cut-off condition, correcting the strength of the mixture with respect to a target value in relation to the quantity of estimated oxygen, so as to ensure controlled enrichment of the mixture which allows rapid disposal of the oxygen stored by the catalytic converter; the correction of the strength allowing minimization of the time interval during which the catalytic converter operates at low efficiency at the end of the fuel cut-off condition.
摘要:
Control method for an oxygen linear sensor, in which the sensor is located along an exhaust duct of an internal combustion engine to receive into a separate chamber part of the exhaust gas and generate a first signal representative of the swing between the composition of the gases in the chamber and a reference stoichiometric composition; the first signal being processed by a retroactive circuit which pilots an electrical current Ip into the sensor in such a manner as to generate an oxygen ion draining mechanism from and towards the chamber and to cancel the swing; the current being converted into an output signal which saving an error due to current spreads, is proportional to the quantity of oxygen present in the exhaust gases; the method presenting the calculation phase of a correction parameter which is applied to the output signal to make it effectively proportional to the quantity of oxygen present in the exhaust gases; the calculation of the parameter being effected with the sensor located in a controlled atmosphere by means of processing of the output signal and of a nominal voltage defining the theoretical value of the output signal in the presence of the said controlled atmosphere.
