Abstract

A method and an arrangement for operating an internal combustion engine. In the method, an injection start is calculated by a filter, starting from a standard injection start and at least one of the filter parameters is selected in accordance with the operating mode of the internal combustion engine.

Claims (8)

1. A method for operating an internal combustion engine, comprising the steps of: determining an injection start using a first filter and a second filter, starting from a standard injection start; and selecting at least one filter parameter as a function of an operating state of the internal combustion engine, wherein a filter parameter of the second filter depends on a gradient of an injection start.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , including calculating the filter parameter for the first filter as a function of a transient air mass ratio, which is calculated from an actual air mass ratio and a filtered air mass ratio, wherein the air mass ratio is calculated as a function of the current air mass to the standard air mass.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2 , including setting the filter parameter so that a delay behavior occurs for a transient operating mode.

4. The method as claimed in claim 2 , including setting the filter parameter so that a strong delay behavior occurs for a steady-state operating mode.

5. The method as claimed in claim 2 , including using a filter time constant as the filter parameter for the first filter.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 , including using a filter angle as the filter parameter for the first filter.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , including using a filter time constant as the filter parameter for the second filter.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , including using a filter angle as the filter parameter for the second filter.
