  • Control system for an internal combustion engine, in particular a diesel engine
    Patent number: 7249590
    Abstract: An injection control method for controlling a “common rail” fuel injection system in a diesel engine is described. The method includes the following steps: an initializing step for acquiring engine control parameters; and a main adjustment cycle for adjusting operational variables of the engine. The injection control method also includes an interrupting step for adjusting an injection procedure proper of the injection system by variation of all the characteristic parameters of the injection procedure. Also described is an injection control system for a diesel engine based on the above method.
