  • Patent number: 7788018
    Abstract: A method for controlling an internal combustion engine having a common rail system together with individual accumulators. A rotational speed-control deviation (dn) is determined from a target rotational speed (nSL) that represents the set point for an outer control loop to control the rotational speed, as well as from an actual rotational speed (nIST). A target torque (MSL) is determined from the rotational speed-control deviation (dn) via a rotational speed controller as a master controller. A target injection duration (SD(SOLL)) is determined from the target torque (MSL). The target duration injection (SD(SOLL)) represents the set point for an inner control loop for controlling cylinder-specific injection duration. An injection duration deviation is determined from the target injection duration (SD(SOLL)) and from an actual injection duration.

  • Patent number: 7769530
    Abstract: For an internal combustion engine with a common rail system including individual accumulators, a process for open- and closed-loop control is proposed, in which the individual accumulator pressure (pE) is detected within a measuring interval and stored, an absolute minimum value of the stored individual accumulator pressure (pE) is interpreted as the end of the main injection, and on the basis of the end of the main injection, a mathematical function is used to calculate a virtual starting time for the main injection. In the measuring interval after the end of the main injection, the individual accumulator pressure (pE) is filtered within a time window, a local minimum value of the filtered individual accumulator pressure is interpreted as the end of a post-injection, and a mathematical function is used to calculate a virtual start of the post-injection.

  • Patent number: 7493887
    Abstract: A method for detecting a preinjection in an internal combustion engine with a common-rail system, including individual accumulators, in which an individual accumulator pressure distribution is detected in a measurement interval and is used to determine an injection end of the main injection, in which a virtual injection start of the main injection is computed by a mathematical function as a function of the injection end, and in which the virtual injection start is set as the actual injection start of the main injection. With the preinjection activated, an actual injection delay for the main injection is determined as a function of the actual injection start, an injection delay deviation of a set injection delay from the actual injection delay is computed, and the injection delay deviation is used to determine whether a preinjection has occurred.

  • Publication number: 20080027624
    Abstract: A method for controlling an internal combustion engine with a common-rail system, in which a fuel quantity is computed from a measured fuel pressure distribution and in which the computed fuel quantity is set as the controlling value for controlling an injection. The fuel quantity is computed by measuring the pressure distribution (pE) of an individual accumulator, reproducing a modeled pressure distribution (pEMOD) according to the measured pressure distribution (pE) using a hydraulic model, and computing the fuel quantity from the hydraulic model.
