Disclosed herein is a method for diagnosing and controlling a two-step exhaust variable valve lift (VVL) system, including: a controlling device acquiring an operation state signal of a vehicle; when the vehicle is in the over-run state, the controlling device outputting a mode conversion signal of the two-step exhaust VVL system; an air mass sensor measuring an air mass entering an engine, and the controlling device comparing a predetermined prediction value of the air mass with the measured air mass; when a difference of the compared air mass corresponds to a predetermined mode conversion comparing amount, the controlling device determining that a mode conversion of the two-step exhaust VVL system is completed; and when the difference of the compared air mass does not correspond to the mode conversion comparing amount, the controlling device determining that the two-step exhaust VVL system is faulty and outputting a result thereof.

Method for diagnosing and controlling two-step exhaust variable valve lift system and vehicle provided with the same method

Provided is a method for calculating an oxygen concentration in a combustion chamber, including: calculating volume efficiency of the combustion chamber while a variable valve lift is in an on state and the volume efficiency of the combustion chamber and the volume of internal EGR from the volume of the combustion chamber while the variable valve lift is in an off state; and calculating a mass of the internal EGR from the pressure of an exhaust manifold, the temperature of the exhaust manifold, and the volume of the internal EGR.

Method for calculating oxygen concentration in combustion chamber

A system for controlling an engine includes a driving information detector detecting driving information. At least one intake valve and at least one exhaust valve open and close the combustion chamber. A variable valve lift (VVL) system adjusts opening timing of the intake valve and the exhaust valve. A compressor rotates by a rotational force of a turbine and compresses intake air, and a vane adjusts the amount of exhaust gas supplied to the turbine. A controller controls opening of the vane using a high pressure EGR valve, when the exhaust valve is open during a suction stroke by the VVL system, the vehicle accelerates or decelerates, and an air/fuel ratio is beyond reference ratio range.

System for controlling engine using variable valve lift and method thereof

A variable valve lift system may include a roller finger follower having an end connected with a valve and a roller mounted thereto. A hydraulic lash adjuster supports another end of the roller finger follower and has operating modes which are changed to a high lift mode or a low lift mode according to supplied hydraulic pressure to change a height of the hydraulic lash adjuster. A hydraulic pressure supplying portion supplies the hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic lash adjuster. A cam is mounted to a camshaft and contacts the roller of the roller finger follower. The cam has a first ramp and a second ramp formed thereon.

Variable valve lift system

A method for fuel injection of an engine system may include detecting driving information, including a combustion pressure in a combustion chamber, a heat generation amount in the combustion chamber, a crank angle, and a pressure/temperature/air amount of an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold, setting a fuel amount and injection timing with respect to a pilot injection as map data from an internal temperature, determining whether a maximum combustion pressure change rate is greater than a predetermined pressure change rate, determining generation timing of the maximum combustion pressure change rate, when the maximum combustion pressure change rate is greater than the predetermined pressure change rate, and decreasing a fuel amount of the pilot injection when the maximum combustion pressure change rate is generated during the pilot injection.

Method and apparatus for fuel injection of engine system

A supercharging engine supplying compressed air to a combustion chamber as intake air may include at least two cylinders, a deactivation cylinder being at least one of the cylinders, and selectively deactivated, a compressed air tank adapted to store compressed air supplied from a combustion chamber of the deactivation cylinder, a compressed air storage passage formed to communicate the compressed air tank with the combustion chamber of the deactivation cylinder, an intake manifold selectively communicating with the compressed air tank, and a compressed air valve selectively opening/closing the compressed air storage passage, in which compressed air may be transmitted from the combustion chamber of the deactivation cylinder to the compressed air tank as the compressed air valve is opened in a compression stroke during deactivation of the deactivation cylinder.

Supercharging engine

A variable valve lift system includes a camshaft, a high lift cam, a low lift cam, a valve lift apparatus including a high lift body driven by the high lift cam, a low lift body driven by the low lift cam, and a first coupling part to selectively couple the high lift body and the low lift body, a valve provided at one end of the low lift body and opened and closed by the low lift body, a hydraulic lash adjuster including an adjuster housing installed in a cylinder head, an adjust unit to support the other end of the low lift body, slidably provided within the adjuster housing, and to adjust clearance of the valve, and a second coupling part to selectively couple the adjust unit and the adjuster housing, and a hydraulic pressure supply unit to selectively supply hydraulic pressure to the first and second coupling parts.
