The acceleration enrichment per se begins beyond a predetermined air flow gradient and then has a steady course up to a maximum value. This subject is disclosed in combination with a continuously operating injection system, in which a corresponding overall control signal is prepared in a control unit and delivered to an electrohydraulic final control element.

Abstract: A fuel injection system for supercharged internal combustion engines is proposed, which serves to meter a quantity of fuel adapted to the quantity of air aspirated by the engine and also serves to regulate the fuel-air mixture in accordance with operating characteristics of the engine. The fuel injection system includes an air flow rate member, the restoring force of which is generated by means of pressure fluid in a control pressure line. The pressure of the pressure fluid in the control pressure line is variable in accordance with at least one pressure control valve, by means of which the pressure in the control line and thus the restoring force exerted upon the air flow rate member, which actuates a control slide of a metering and distribution valve assembly, can be reduced when the intake tube pressure downstream of a compressor increases. The result is that an undesirable leaning down of the fuel-air mixture caused by the error in air density can be corrected.

The pressure drop at the circumference of the control slide head formed between the control edge and the end face is capable of being influenced in such a manner that the control slide head rests unilaterally on the slotted sleeve at least during a portion of the displacement movement. As a result, better metering precision is obtained.

Abstract: A vacuum-operated air-valve actuator has a vacuum chamber held in communication with the intake air passage not only at a point between the air valve and the throttle valve but also at a point on the downstream side of the latter. In low load engine operation, the actuator is fed with a relatively high vacuum occurring on the downstream side of the throttle as well as with a lower vacuum in the Venturi and acts to increase the opening of the air valve. As the result, the vacuum in the Venturi, under which a fuel metering device operates, is reduced and accordingly the amount of fuel metered out is reduced to minimize the density of unburnt ingredients in the engine exhaust gases.

Abstract: An apparatus is proposed for the open-loop control of the composition of the operating mixture to be introduced into the combustion chambers of an internal combustion engine. In this apparatus, the dispensing of the aspirated air quantity is effected by means of an aspirated air throttle device, whose displacement complementarily adjusts the cross section of an exhaust gas recirculation line which discharges into the intake system downstream from this throttle device. The opening of the aspirated air throttle device in order to increase the quantity of aspirated air is effected by means of a control pressure delivered to a servomotor, counter to the force of a restoring spring. The control pressure is obtained from the comparison of the actual quantity of aspirated air with the fuel injection quantity. The initial pressure for establishing the control pressure is the supply pressure of a supply pump supplying the fuel metering device.
