Method for controlling the air system in an internal combustion engine
A method for closed loop controlling the air system in an internal combustion engine, in particular a diesel internal combustion engine with a first actuating element for recirculated exhaust gas in the exhaust gas recirculation tract and a second actuating element for air in the inlet tract, the two actuating elements being adjusted as a function of each other. In order to increase the quality of closed loop control, provision is made for each actuating element to be controlled separately by its own respective controller, each controller being optimally configured for the respective controlled system, and a target value being provided for each controller.
1. A method for closed loop control of characteristic values of combustion in an internal combustion engine with at least one control path, wherein a rapid control path, which can act and measure on each injection, takes into account an actuating behaviour of a slow control path, which in a time pattern requires a much longer time than a rapid control path, and wherein repercussions on characteristic values of combustion and/or changes of at least one characteristic value of the rapid control path are calculated directly from an extent of deviation between actual values and target values of the slow control path.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one actual value for the rapid control path is determined with resolution for each combustion cycle.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein at least one actual value for the rapid control path is determined from a cylinder pressure curve.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the characteristic values for controlling the rapid control path are determined from at least one actual value for the rapid control path.
5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein at least one actual value for the rapid control path is determined from an ion beam measurement.
6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein at least one actual value for the rapid control path is determined from an acceleration measurement.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein an actual value of combustion is determined by determining the combustion position in which 50% of the fuel is burnt.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating value of the rapid control path can be adjusted in each combustion cycle.
9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the actuating value of the rapid control path is at least one injection parameter.
10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the actual value of the slow control path is a characteristic value of the filling of the cylinders.
11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the actual value of the slow control path is the inert gas rate in the cylinder prior to combustion.
12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the inert gas rate in the cylinder is determined prior to combustion.
13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein a physical model based on standard sensors.
14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the repercussions on the actual values of the rapid control path and/or changes of the characteristic values of the rapid control path are calculated directly from the extent of the deviation between the actual values and the target values of the filling of the cylinders.
