Controlling exhaust gas recirculation

Title: Controlling exhaust gas recirculation

Abstract

In controlling an engine, an amount of an intake charge provided, during operation of the engine, to a combustion chamber of the engine is determined. The intake charge includes an air component, a fuel component and a diluent component. An amount of the air component of the intake charge is determined. An amount of the diluent component of the intake charge is determined utilizing the amount of the intake charge, the amount of the air component and, in some instances, the amount of the fuel component. An amount of a diluent supplied to the intake charge is adjusted based at least in part on the determined amount of diluent component of the intake charge.

Exhaust gas recirculation in a homogeneous charge compression ignition engine

Patent Duffy, Kevin P ; Kieser, Andrew J ; Rodman, Anthony ; ...

A homogeneous charge compression ignition engine operates by injecting liquid fuel directly in a combustion chamber, and mixing the fuel with recirculated exhaust and fresh air through an auto ignition condition of the fuel. The engine includes at least one turbocharger for extracting energy from the engine exhaust and using that energy to boost intake pressure of recirculated exhaust gas and fresh air. Elevated proportions of exhaust gas recirculated to the engine are attained by throttling the fresh air inlet supply. These elevated exhaust gas recirculation rates allow the HCCI engine to be operated at higher speeds and loads renderingmore »« less

Apparatus for controlling the recirculated exhaust gas quantities and the injection quantity in auto-igniting internal combustion engines

Patent Straubel, M

An apparatus is proposed which serves the purpose of controlling the exhaust gas recirculation quantity and the injection quantity in auto-igniting internal combustion engines. In this apparatus, an arbitrarily actuatable throttle valve is provided in the intake manifold, downstream of which a control pressure is withdrawn from the intake manifold and used to actuate a pneumatic adjustment device which determines the position of the quantity adjustment device of a fuel injection pump. This control pressure simultaneously serves to actuate an exhaust gas recirculation valve and acts counter to the force of a restoring spring in the work chamber of amore »« less

Control system for use in exhaust gas recirculation system

Patent Onaka, H

A control system is described for use in an exhaust gas recirculation system of an internal combustion engine, in which part of exhaust gases is recirculated from an exhaust system to an intake system in an attempt to reduce the amount of harmful components contained in exhaust gases from the engine as well as to prevent lowering of the running performance of the engine. This control system includes: a recirculation control valve which controls a recirculation joint portion between the exhaust system and the intake system; a fuel control mechanism which increases the open, cross sectional area of a fuelmore »« less
Pressure mediated diesel engine exhaust gas recirculation control system

Patent Sugiyama, T

A diesel engine includes an air intake system, an exhaust system , and an exhaust gas recirculation conduit which leads from the exhaust system to the intake system. An exhaust gas recirculation control valve, which includes a first diaphragm chamber, is mounted in the exhaust gas recirculation conduit so as to regulate the flow of exhaust gas through it. The exhaust gas recirculation control valve is controlled by a controlling fluid pressure supplied to its first diaphragm chamber. A fluid pressure control valve receives supply of fluid pressure and produces this controlling fluid pressure for the exhaust gas recirculation controlmore »« less
