A method for controlling incidences of combustion in an unloaded internal combustion engine of a vehicle. The method includes, determining a load-dynamics threshold, detecting an unloaded operating state of the internal combustion engine, detecting an incidence of the load-dynamics threshold being exceeded in the unloaded operating state, and retarding the ignition timing to form a load-dynamics aiming-off allowance that prevents combustion knock.

Method for controlling incidences of combustion in an unloaded internal combustion engine

A method for ignition control is described in which the load gradient is determined. The load gradient is compared with a first specifiable dynamic threshold and the ignition control variable is additively retarded by application of an adaptable dynamic derivative action if the load gradient exceeds the first dynamic threshold. If the load gradient exceeds a second specifiable dynamic threshold and no knock occurs, then the output dynamic derivative action is reduced so that the ignition is advanced again.

Ignition control method

In the apparatus for controlling a coasting air recirculation valve of the turbocharger of an internal combustion engine, the coasting air recirculation valve is arranged in the coasting air recirculation line bypassing a compressor in the intake duct, and the coasting air recirculation valve is controllable by way of the intake duct pressure on the downstream side of the throttle valve. In order to ensure defined opening and closing of the coasting air recirculation valve, an additional control pressure, with which the coasting air recirculation valve can be opened independently of the intake duct pressure, can be delivered to the coasting air recirculation valve.

Ambient air-pulsed valve control

A method for controlling knocking in internal combustion engines. According to this method, a map ignition angle is determined on the basis of detected operating parameters, to which a correction value is additively applied when knock events occur. The correction value is a function of a knock frequency.

Method for regulating knocking in ignition systems of internal combustion engines

A method for monitoring and error detection in a device for knock detection is disclosed, in which two different diagnosis functions can be carried out in an alternating fashion. If one of the diagnosis functions gives rise to the suspicion of an error or an error correction, this diagnosis function is carried out again in order to confirm the suspicion before the other diagnosis function is carried out, wherein the renewed diagnosis is carried out at a shorter interval than usual.

Method for monitoring and error recognition

To achieve a very sturdy automatic control of the boost pressure, the integration of system deviation of the boost pressure, which is carried out by an integrator, is limited to a predefinable limiting value. Limiting value is composed of a basic value and a correction value superimposed upon it. Correction value is determined adaptively as a function of speed, a plurality of speed ranges being predefined. Adapted correction value can be increased or reduced stepwise, which mainly depends on whether the integral-action component of the manipulated variable for the boost pressure is smaller or greater than the current limiting value.

Knock control process for an internal combustion engine

A method for detecting knocking provides for weighting or limitation of the knocking threshold. For this purpose, on the one hand a normal range of the reference level is defined and in the case of a deviation from this normal range the knocking threshold is multiplied by a weighting factor less than 1 and, alternatively, the knocking threshold is limited when a prescribable limit value is reached.

Method for detecting knocking

A system for controlling the charging of an internal combustion engine contains an integral controller. If appropriate, a proportional controller and/or a differential controller may also be present. The integration, carried out by the integral controller, of the control error is limited to a prescribable limit value in order to avoid severe overshoots. Various limit values for steady-state operating states and for dynamic operating states can be prescribed. The dynamic limit value can be provided with corrections as a function of characteristic operating variables and with an adaptive correction and can be additionally increased by a safety interval.

Method for the adaptive knock control of an internal combustion engine

In a system for the closed-loop control of the supercharging of an internal-combustion engine, a manipulated variable is produced by means of a controller in dependence upon the deviation between a desired supercharging and an actual supercharging. With this manipulated variable, a final controlling element is triggered, which influences the supercharging of the internal-combustion engine. The controller parameters of the controller are repeatedly optimized. To this end, a model for the internal-combustion engine is specified, inclusive of a charging device, and the model parameters are determined from the manipulated variable and the actual supercharging. Controller parameters are determined from the model parameters and relayed to the controller. Moreover, in certain operating states, the controller parameters are stored in start-up characteristic maps. The start-up characteristic maps supply the initial values for the controller parameters each time the closed-loop control is activated.
