Publication number: 20030075158Abstract: A valve flow characteristic line is adapted by weighting the valve position as an input variable using a variable offset value. To calculate a robust model of the intake manifold pressure, a modeled partial pressure of the recirculated exhaust gas is determined so that it differs as little as possible from the actual partial pressure of the recirculated exhaust gas. To do so, a modeled partial pressure of the recirculated exhaust gas is derived from a flow characteristic of a valve in an exhaust gas recirculating line as a function of the valve position. The modeled partial pressure of the recirculated exhaust gas derived from the flow characteristic is corrected adaptively as a function of the difference between the modeled intake manifold pressure and a measured intake manifold pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2002Publication date: April 24, 2003Inventors: Leonhard Milos, Ernst Wild, Jochen Gross, Oliver Schlesiger, Kristina Eberle, Roland Herynek, Patrick Janin, Manfred Pfitz
