  • Patent number: 8396648
    Abstract: A method for the closed-loop control of the combustion position in an internal combustion engine with several cylinders, especially in a diesel engine, with at least one engine operating parameter being detected, wherein a cylinder-selective combustion position model which is arithmetic or based on characteristic values is provided which produces a relationship between at least one determined engine operating parameter and the combustion position, and the combustion position is determined on the basis of the determined engine operating parameter by the combustion position model for each cylinder.

  • Patent number: 8204673
    Abstract: 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.
