Engine
The objective of the present invention is to provide an engine with improved startability and stable operation regardless of the driving environment and usage conditions. The engine is equipped with a control means, which calculates a standard injection timing on the basis of the target rotational frequency of the engine and a standard injection amount, that is, the amount of fuel injected, and which corrects the standard injection timing using at least one correction amount. A fuel injection control unit calculates a cooling water correction amount on the basis of the target rotational frequency of the engine, the standard injection amount, and the cooling water temperature, and when the cooling water temperature is less than a first prescribed temperature the control unit corrects the standard injection timing using only the cooling water correction amount.
1. An engine comprising:
an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) device structured to recirculate part of exhaust gas as EGR of the engine as EGR gas into intake air;
an EGR valve structured to limit a weight of the EGR gas;
a differential pressure detector comprising an intake pressure detecting sensor and an exhaust pressure detecting sensor, the differential pressure detector being structured to detect differential pressure between an intake pressure and an exhaust pressure; and
a control device configured to change an opening degree of the EGR valve and adjust the EGR gas weight, the control device comprising a plurality of effective passage cross-sectional area maps for calculating the effective passage cross-sectional area of the EGR device from the opening degree of the EGR valve and the differential pressure,
wherein the control device is configured to determine whether or not an intake-and-exhaust pressure ratio between the intake pressure and the exhaust pressure is higher than a predetermined value, and whether or not an exhaust pressure is higher than a predetermined value based on the exhaust pressure and the intake-and-exhaust pressure ratio, and
wherein the control device is configured to calculate the effective passage cross-sectional area from one effective passage cross-sectional area map selected from the plurality of effective passage cross-sectional area maps based on a result that the control device determines.
2. The engine according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to select the one effective passage cross-sectional area map based on a number of revolutions and an injection amount of the engine.
3. The engine according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to select the one effective passage cross-sectional area map based on an intake-and-exhaust pressure ratio between the intake pressure and the exhaust pressure, and the exhaust pressure.
