A method for operating an internal combustion engine including a combustion chamber which is connectable to a charge air supply and to a supply for fuel. An exhaust gas system receives the combusted air from the combustion chamber and supplies it at least partially to an exhaust gas turbocharger, wherein fuel can be introduced into the exhaust gas system via a metering valve. The method includes: (i) supplying fuel and charge air to the combustion chamber, wherein more oxygen is present in the combustion chamber than can react with the fuel, (ii) igniting the air/gas mixture in the combustion chamber, (iii) discharging the burned-off mixture (exhaust gas) into the exhaust gas system, (iv) supplying fuel to the exhaust gas flowing from the combustion chamber, (v) igniting the fuel in the exhaust gas, and supplying the fuel to the exhaust gas turbocharger.

A method and a device for operating an exhaust gas recirculation of a self-ignition internal combustion engine, in particular of a motor vehicle, the internal combustion engine including an air system for controlling the air supply into at least one combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, and it being provided in particular that a dynamic operating state of the internal combustion engine is detected and, in the event of a detected dynamic operating state, a corrective intervention in the air system of the internal combustion engine is carried out.

A method for diagnosing a differential pressure sensor situated in an air duct of an internal combustion engine, including: selecting a tolerance range for an output signal of the differential pressure sensor, within which a predetermined pressure difference is to be interpreted; and ignoring an error, in which the output signal of the differential pressure sensor falls out of the tolerance range, if, first of all, a predetermined operating situation prevails, in which the predetermined pressure difference is considered to be applied to the differential pressure sensor, and secondly, a disturbance pressure is detected in the air duct.

A method for correcting an offset for a pressure difference measured using a differential pressure sensor situated in an air duct. The offset is computed using an output signal of a pressure sensor, including: transferring the air duct into a predetermined operating situation in which a predetermined pressure difference is considered to be applied to the differential pressure sensor, measuring a level of the output signal in the predetermined operating situation, and computing the offset based on the measured level of the output signal.

Described is a method for operating an internal combustion engine (), in which method at least one parameter of the exhaust gas flowing in an exhaust-gas duct () is detected by at least one exhaust-gas probe (), wherein the internal combustion engine () is at least temporarily turned over by a starting device (), during which an injection and combustion of fuel does not take place, and during and/or after which the exhaust-gas probe () is adjusted.

Method for operating an internal combustion engine

In a method for operating an internal combustion engine having exhaust gas recirculation, air is supplied to at least one combustion chamber via an intake manifold at least partially closable with the aid of a final control element, and a part of the exhaust gases flowing into an exhaust pipe is conducted via an EGR channel, which is at least partially closable with the aid of an EGR valve unit, into an area of the intake manifold, which lies between the final control element and the combustion chamber. A first variable, which characterizes the mass flow of the gas conducted through the EGR channel, is ascertained from a set of state variables of the internal combustion engine, which apply for an operating state in which the engine is in overrun operation and the final control element is essentially closed.

A method for providing a specification about an efficiency of a cooler for recirculated exhaust gas in an internal combustion engine includes: measuring a temperature of the recirculated exhaust gas cooled by the cooler; and ascertaining the specification about the efficiency of the cooler as a function of the measured temperature of the cooled recirculated exhaust gas. With the aid of the specification about the efficiency of the cooler it is possible to determine a failure of the cooler or to calculate a temperature of the recirculated exhaust gas in order implement an engine control system of the internal combustion engine on the basis of a reliable temperature specification that is not influenced by lag effects.

A method for the diagnosis of an exhaust gas recirculation system in an internal combustion engine, including providing a pressure difference reading, which gives a pressure difference in an air supply section of the internal combustion engine or a pressure difference over the exhaust gas recirculation system; determining a pressure difference reference value as a function of one or more operating variables of the internal combustion engine; and detecting a fault in the exhaust gas recirculation system as a function of the pressure difference reading and of the pressure difference reference value.

Method and device for monitoring an exhaust gas recirculation system

A method for cleaning a resonator in an oscillator, a laser being first used for the adjustment of the resonator, in that, using the laser, a dielectric material of the resonator is removed until a specified frequency is attained; the resonator being cleaned using the laser after the attaining of the specified frequency, in order to remove deposited products of the removal process.
