  • Patent number: 5243948
    Abstract: An electronic control system for fuel metering in an internal combustion engine includes, inter alia, means for determining a basic injection-quantity signal and a transition compensation signal for adapting the quantity of fuel metered-in in the case of acceleration and deceleration, in which, for the purpose of transition compensation, a wall-film quantity signal and a discharge factor signal (Tk) are formed as a function of load and rotational speed, and the transition compensation signal takes into account both the wall-film quantity signal and the discharge factor signal. The discharge factor signal can either be read from a characteristic map or assume two discrete values. The proposed system serves the purpose of achieving a transitional behavior which is as optimum as possible with respect to the exhaust gas.

  • Patent number: 5239974
    Abstract: An electronic system for controlling the fuel injection of an internal-combustion engine based on the load, rotational speed, and temperature, as well as at least an oxygen probe reading in the exhaust pipe. The system determines basic injection-quantity signal as well as a transition-compensation signal to adapt the injection fuel quantity in situations of acceleration and deceleration. The system stores an engine characteristics map for a wall-film-quantity signal, and dividing factors for acceleration and deceleration. The system generates a correction value (Wkor) for the wall-film quantity signal and correction factors (FWS1kor, FWS2kor) for the two dividing factors. Three methods are provided for changing the correction factors in connection with the adaptation and these are based on a direct calculation, based on an estimation of the missing quantity and incremental calculation, and based on an incremental adjustment based on the evaluation of the oxygen-probe voltage.
