    摘要: A device for measuring a flow rate of a mixture of evaporative fuel and air supplied to an internal combustion engine comprises a plurality of flowmeters arranged in a purging passage connecting between a canister and an intake passage of the engine for purging the mixture of evaporative fuel and air therethrough into the intake passage. The flowmeters have different output characteristics relative to concentration of the evaporative fuel in the mixture. At least one of the concentration of the evaporative fuel in the mixture and the volumetric flow rate of the mixture are detected based on outputs from the flowmeters. In an air-fuel ratio control system incorporating the above device, the weight per unit time of evaporative fuel supplied to the intake system is calculated from the detected concentration of the evaporative fuel and the detected volumetric flow rate of the mixture. The air-fuel ratio of a total air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine is corrected by the use of the ratio of the calculated weight per unit time of evaporative fuel supplied by purging to the intake system to weight per unit time of fuel supplied by injection to the engine.

The flow rate of evaporative fuel is detected and compared with a desired flow rate commensurate with an operating condition of the engine. The valve opening of the purge control valve is controlled in response to results of the comparison. The change rate of the valve opening is varied according to the concentration of evaporative fuel in the mixture. Specifically, the change rate is decreased as the evaporative fuel concentration is higher.

    摘要: An intake air amount control system for an internal combustion engine includes a control valve for regulating the amount of intake air supplied through the intake pipe to the engine. An ECU determines the difference between a desired idling rotational speed of the engine and an actual rotational speed of same and feedback-controls the control valve by means of a control amount responsive to the determined difference such that the actual rotational speed becomes equal to the desired idling rotational speed. The ECU learns a reference value of the control amount by calculating an average value of values of the control amount applied during the feedback control. The ECU inhibits the learning of the reference value of the control amount when the difference between atmospheric pressure and absolute pressure within the intake pipe is smaller than a predetermined value.

    摘要: An evaporative fuel-purging control system for an internal combustion engine incorporates a flowmeter arranged across a purging passage for outputting an output value indicative of the flow rate of a mixture of evaporative fuel and air being purged through the purging passage. Abnormality of the flowmeter is determined, based on a value of the output value therefrom assumed when the purging of the gaseous mixture is stopped. Alternatively or in combination, abnormality of the flowmeter is determined, based on a value of the output value therefrom assumed when the purging of the gaseous mixture is resumed after stoppage thereof.

    摘要: An evaporative fuel-purging control system for an internal combustion engine having a canister in which evaporative fuel from a fuel tank is adsorbed. One or more purging control valves are arranged across a purging pipe extending between the canister and an intake system. An ECU integrates an estimated value of a flow rate of evaporative fuel supplied to the engine, which is estimated as a purging flow rate in the purging pipe, in accordance with engine operating conditions when a specific one of the purging control valves is opened to thereby obtain an integrated purging flow rate value, and subtracts a predetermined decremental value from the integrated purging flow rate value when the specific one purging control valve is closed. When the integrated purging flow rate value is equal to or smaller than a predetermined lower limit value, the ECU decreases the flow rate of the evaporative fuel supplied to the intake system, based on the integrated purging flow rate value obtained above. When an air-fuel ratio correction coefficient value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value and at the same time the integrated purging flow rate value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the ECU increases the flow rate, based upon the integrated purging flow rate value.

    摘要: In a fuel vapor release suppression system for a fuel tank, a main tank and a sub tank communicate with each other, and the sub tank and a canister communicate with each other. When the main tank has a higher temperature, fuel vapor of the main tank is supplied to the sub tank where the fuel vapor is liquefied. When the main tank has a lower temperature, fuel vapor of the sub tank is supplied to the main tank. At this time, low concentration fuel vapor is supplied from the canister to the main tank, thereby accelerating generation of fuel vapor corresponding to sub tank fuel vapor pressure, so that the sub tank fuel vapor pressure decreases. Therefore, liquefaction is accelerated in the sub tank when the main tank temperature increases. Thus, fuel vapor generated in a fuel tank is effectively liquified irrespective of ambient air temperature.
