摘要:
A technique for engine control to account for fuel effects including providing an internal combustion engine and a controller to regulate operation thereof, the engine being operable to combust a fuel to produce an exhaust gas; establishing a plurality of fuel property inputs; establishing a plurality of engine performance inputs; generating engine control information as a function of the fuel property inputs and the engine performance inputs; and accessing the engine control information with the controller to regulate at least one engine operating parameter.

摘要:
A diesel fuel composition is disclosed, as well as a method for reducing NOx and smoke emissions from a diesel engine at minimum fuel consumption which comprises adding to the diesel engine at least one diesel fuel or blending component for a diesel fuel which has a combination of a low T50 in the range of from 190° C. to 280° C., a high cetane number in the range of from 31 to 60, and optionally a high distillation curve slope in the range of from 58° C. to 140° C., which combination is effective to afford a combination of the lowest NOx and smoke emissions at the lowest fuel consumption at independent engine control values for the diesel engine that are optimum to afford production of a combination of the lowest NOx and smoke emissions at the lowest fuel consumption, whereby the NOx and smoke emissions from the diesel engine are reduced by at least 10% and 15%, respectively.
摘要:
A system for controlling the temperature of a particulate filter coupled to an exhaust outlet of an internal combustion engine includes a controller responsive to volumetric flow and temperature of exhaust gas to determine a filter regeneration parameter. In a hybrid electric-engine vehicle application, various control strategies are implemented as a function of the regeneration parameter to control exhaust gas temperature suitably for proper regeneration of the particulate filter. Such strategies include shifting the duty cycle of the engine toward lower engine speed operation along lines of constant power output, modifying the ratio of electrical power and engine power and controlling recharging of the battery supplying electrical energy to the vehicle's electric drive motor under vehicle deceleration conditions. In vehicle applications including a transmission coupled directly to the engine, shift points of the transmission are modified as a function of the regeneration parameter to control exhaust gas temperature.
