Abstract:
In a method for operating a fuel injection device of a motor vehicle, fuel is conveyed under high pressure into a high-pressure reservoir, the pressure of which is controlled with the aid of a pressure regulation and from which fuel is taken for injection via at least one fuel injection valve under the control of a control device. A control pressure deviation of the pressure in the high-pressure reservoir is detected and the existence of a balance disturbance between quantity of fuel supplied to the high-pressure reservoir and quantity of fuel taken from the high-pressure reservoir is deduced from the control pressure deviation. If a balance disturbance exists, operational influencing of the fuel injection device counteracting the balance disturbance is produced and/or a corresponding report is generated.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for determining a position of a piston (5) in a piston pressure accumulator (1) and a ON correspondingly designed piston pressure accumulator (1). A housing (3) accommodates a displaceable piston (5). An electrode arrangement (15) having a plurality of 4-point measurement electrode pairs (17) is provided on the electrically conductive housing (3) and is designed to determine a position of the piston (5) inside the housing (3) by measuring a distribution of an electrical resistance or potential between inner electrodes (21) when a current is applied to outer electrodes (19), depending on a position along the housing (3). The position of the piston determined from the measurement of the potential distribution can be used to determine or check a charge state of the piston pressure accumulator (1).
Abstract:
In a method for adapting at least one injector of an injection system, in particular of a common-rail injection system of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, where injections take place based on a characteristics map with at least two input variables and at least one output variable, a transition is carried out into a learning mode in which only discrete values are permitted for one of the at least two input variables of the characteristics map.
