    摘要: The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system provided herein utilizes a crossover (X) valve that is selectively activated at the direction of the electronic control module (ECM) to mix the high temperature (HT) and low temperature (LT) circuits of the EGR system under certain predetermined operating conditions. Thus, HT circuit fluid (at engine temperatures) is selectively fed into the LT circuit fluid (at ambient temperatures) to heat certain LT circuit components that are normally cooled by the LT circuit before starting the low pressure (LP) EGR in certain cold cycles. When this heating is finished, the X valve is closed to provide normal HT circuit/LT circuit fluid separation. The X valve can be controlled using a rotational actuator or the like. To avoid exposing the LT circuit to the high revolution-per-minute (RPM) operating conditions of the HT circuit, a HT bypass mechanism is provided.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine system includes an engine, an air intake system configured to provide intake air to the engine, and an exhaust system configured to receive exhaust gas from the engine. The engine system further includes a secondary air system including a pump, an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, and a valve system operably associated with the secondary air system and the EGR system. The valve system is configured to operate in a secondary air mode where the pump is utilized to supply secondary air to the exhaust system, and an EGR mode where the pump is utilized to supply EGR to the air intake system.

    摘要: A method of determining an abnormality of a differential pressure sensor which is configured to detect a pressure differential between an upstream side and a downstream side of an EGR valve provided to an EGR passage of an engine, is provided. The method includes the steps of controlling an opening of the EGR valve based on an output value of the differential pressure sensor, determining the abnormality of the differential pressure sensor based on the output value of the differential pressure sensor, controlling at least a throttle valve of the engine toward a closed side so that the pressure differential is maintained at a given pressure or higher when determining, and prohibiting the execution of the abnormality determination when an engine speed is a given engine speed or higher, and permitting the execution of the abnormality determination when the engine speed is less than the given engine speed.

    摘要: Provided is a novel control device of an internal combustion engine capable of estimating an EGR rate in a transient state with high accuracy. Thus, in the present invention, unit spaces are formed by dividing a reference space of the intake passage into a plurality of spaces along a streamline through which the gas mixture of the intake air and the EGR gas flows, a physical model based on an advection equation for estimating the EGR rate of the gas mixture is established so as to correspond to each of the unit spaces, and the EGR rate at which the gas mixture flows into the combustion chamber is estimated by sequentially estimating the EGR rates of the unit spaces connected to head unit spaces from the head unit spaces by the physical model.

    摘要: There is a problem of a difficulty in estimating the temporal change of the MBT for each of cylinders with light calculation load and high accuracy. An object of the present invention is to provide a control device capable of detecting a temporal change in the fuel efficiency optimum ignition timing (MBT) for each of cylinders. Therefore, the control device for internal combustion engine includes a control unit (CPU) that estimates an optimum ignition timing of each of cylinders from the relationship between the phase angle (θTmax) at which the torque peaks and the phase angle (θPmax) at which the in-cylinder pressure peaks with respect to the ignition timing of the cylinder.
