Real Time Control for Fuel Injection System with Compensating Cylinder-by-Cylinder Deviation 900778
We have examined a new precise control method of the air fuel ratio during a transient state which provides improved exhaust characteristics of automobile engines. We investigated the measurement method for the mass of fresh air inducted by the cylinder, which is most important for controlling the air fuel ratio. The mass of fresh air must be measured in real time because it changes in each cycle during a transient state. With an conventional systems, it has been difficult to get accurate measurement of this rapidly changing mass of fresh air.
The method we studied measures the mass of fresh air by using the intake manifold pressure and air flow sensors. During a transient state, the reverse flow of the residual gas from the cylinder into the intake manifold, which occurs at the first stage of the suction stroke, changes with each cycle. The mass of fresh air changes accordingly. Measuring the intake manifold pressure and the mass flow rate of air through the throttle valve and then calibrating according to the mass of the reverse flow provides a means of accurately detecting the mass of fresh air.
