Abstract

In a method for pressure control in an injection system of an internal combustion engine, a pump efficiency dependent upon the type of pump is taken into account in the control of a high-pressure stored value. To this end, the pump efficiency may be determined based on a stored table or a proximity function.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the output variables of the precontrol elements are a volume flow respectively.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein switching leakage losses within the injection system that change over time are taken into account with the volume flow temperature as an input variable in the precontrol unit.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein pump efficiency is determined from a stored table.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein pump efficiency is determined by means of an approximation function.

7. A method for regulating an injection system of an internal combustion engine, comprising the steps of:

generating a controlled variable using an output variable of a regulation unit and a pump efficiency value, which is dependent on a pump type, wherein the pump efficiency value is derived based on an input value that is dependent on a rotation speed of the internal combustion engine, a pressure value in a high-pressure accumulator, the temporal derivation of the pressure value in the high-pressure accumulator and the volume flow temperature,

regulating the pressure value in the high-pressure accumulator fed by a pump with said controlled variable;

wherein the regulating comprises providing the controlled variable to a volume flow regulation valve inline with the pump.

8.
