摘要:
A method is provided for estimating the heat exchange rate related to the exothermic oxidation reactions of a catalytic converter in an internal combustion engine. Exhaust gases flow through the catalytic converter, the method includes, but is not limited to providing a thermal model of a catalytic converter where no oxidation reactions take place. The thermal model includes, but is not limited to equations that take into account the heat exchange rate related to the processes between the exhaust gases, the catalytic converter and an external environment surrounding the catalytic converter, calculating an estimated outlet temperature at the outlet of the catalytic converter, based on the thermal model, measuring an outlet temperature at the outlet of the catalytic converter comparing the estimated outlet temperature with the measured outlet temperature, thus obtaining a correction factor, correcting the thermal model by using the correction factor in order to make the estimated outlet temperature converge to the measured outlet temperature, estimating the heat exchange rate related to the exothermic oxidation reactions as the correction factor.
摘要:
In a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine that includes, but is not limited to injectors (I1-I4), each of which is adapted to deliver a predetermined amount of pressurized fuel to a combustion chamber of a respective cylinder (C1-C4) of the engine, a high-pressure accumulator volume common to the injectors (I1-I4) and arranged to maintain the fuel at high-pressure, a pressure sensor for measuring fuel pressure in the accumulator volume, a metering unit for adjusting the fuel pressure in the accumulator volume as a function of the measured pressure, so as to maintain a predetermined target injection pressure set-point dependent on the engine operating point by returning excess fuel to a fuel tank; and an electronic control unit arranged for controlling fuel injection timing and quantity by operating injectors control valves, the operating pressure is controlled by triggering retarded injections (INJpost) of a predetermined quantity of fuel to the combustion chamber of the cylinders (C1-C4) of the engine during a respective exhaust stroke, when pressure above a predetermined threshold (THover) is detected in the accumulator volume, so as to discharge fuel from the accumulator volume without it taking part to the combustion process, thereby reducing pressure in the accumulator volume.
