  • Patent number: 9239025
    Abstract: A condensation monitoring system for a vehicle comprises a humidity estimation module and a condensation detection module. The humidity estimation module estimates a humidity in one of an air intake system and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system associated with an engine of the vehicle. The condensation detection module generates a condensation signal indicating that condensation is present in the one of the air intake system and the EGR system when the humidity is greater than a predetermined humidity.

  • Patent number: 8286616
    Abstract: A condensation control system for a vehicle comprises a short route (SR) target module, a long-route (LR) target module, and a humidity adjustment module. The SR target module controls a first opening target for opening of a first exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve and a first throttle valve based on a SR target and a SR adjustment. The LR target module controls a second opening target for opening of a second EGR valve and a second throttle valve based on a LR target and a LR adjustment. The humidity adjustment module adjusts the SR and LR adjustments based on a humidity adjustment when condensation is detected in a system that provides a gas to an engine for combustion and determines the humidity adjustment based on a difference between a humidity within the system and a predetermined humidity.
