    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling a performance variable of an engine system are provided. An apparatus includes a response model circuit structured to apply a constraint to a response model that represents a relationship regarding a manipulated variable or a relationship between the performance variable and the manipulated variable. The apparatus further includes an optimization circuit structured to determine a target for the manipulated variable via the response model such that the target of the manipulated variable satisfies the constraint of the response model. The performance variable is indicative of performance of operation of the engine system and the manipulated variable is capable of affecting the performance variable. Operation of the engine system is adjusted based upon the target of the manipulated variable by controlling at least one of a fuel system or an air handling system of the engine system.

    摘要: A method for generating data for an internal combustion engine control unit includes receiving at least one constraint by a simulated internal combustion engine, receiving a first value of an air condition by the simulated internal combustion engine, and determining at least one simulated engine parameter associated with a maximum expected output of the simulated internal combustion engine, wherein the maximum expected output is determined based on the first value and the at least one constraint. The method also includes supplementing existing engine information by storing the at least one simulated engine parameter in a memory associated with the internal combustion engine control unit together with the existing engine information.

    摘要: A system for controlling a compressor may include an engine controller that controls a fuel injection amount corresponding to an engine load and an opening amount of a throttle by reflecting a required torque required for an air conditioner (A/C), an operation information detector for detecting operation information according to driving state of the vehicle, a compressor that generates pressure during operation of the A/C, an air conditioner relay which is turned on when the air conditioner operates and is turned off when the A/C is stopped, and a controller which determines an engine negative pressure of an intake manifold, and when the cooling water temperature is lower than the predetermined temperature and the intake manifold pressure is lower than the first threshold value, a cold-start intake manifold negative pressure insufficient event is generated to reduce the A/C duty in accordance with the entry into a negative pressure recovery mode.

    摘要: A system for control of an internal combustion system having subsystems, each with different response times. Subsystems may include a fuel system, an air handling system, and an aftertreatment system, each being operated in response to a set of reference values generated by a respective target determiner. Calibration of each subsystem may be performed independently. The fuel system is controlled at a first time constant. The air handling system is controlled on the order of a second time constant slower than the first time constant. The aftertreatment system is controlled on the order of a third time constant slower than the second time constant. A subsystem manager is optionally in operative communication with each target determiner to coordinate control. Generally, dynamic parameters from slower subsystems are treated as static parameters when determining reference values for controlling a faster subsystem.

    摘要: The exhaust gas purification system includes a catalyst having an NOx storage and reduction function, an EGR passage, and a controller configured to control combustion of the internal combustion engine. The controller is configured to switch the operation mode from the lean burn operation to the rich burn operation, when a request for execution of the rich burn operation is issued during the lean burn operation. The controller is configured to perform, when the request the execution of the rich burn operation is issued, an NOx-increasing process in which the combustion of the internal combustion engine is controlled so that an in-cylinder NOx amount is equal to or larger than a required in-cylinder NOx amount prior to switching to the rich burn operation.

    摘要: Engine systems and methods improve emission control through the use of concurrent HCI and EGR. An engine system includes at least two cylinders. A fuel system intermittently supplies a first fuel stream to the first cylinder and a second fuel stream to the second cylinder. An intake system supplies combustion air to the cylinders. An exhaust manifold has one or more interior chambers through which the exhaust gas from the cylinders passes. An EGR circuit is connected between the exhaust manifold and the intake system and includes an EGR valve. A controller operates the fuel system to supply the first fuel stream to deliver fuel to the exhaust system while operating the fuel system to stop the second fuel stream from delivering fuel to the exhaust system, and to open, concurrently with operating the fuel system to supply the first fuel stream, the EGR valve to supply the exhaust gas to the intake system.
