A method for operating an internal combustion engine in an idle mode, in which an ignition angle and/or an air quantity of the internal combustion engine is influenced and/or is modified as a function of an idle rotation speed of the internal combustion engine. The ignition angle and/or the air quantity and/or a fuel quantity for at least one combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine is modified as a function of at least one variable characterizing a combustion event in the combustion chamber.

Method for operating an internal combustion engine in an idle mode

A method for operating an internal combustion engine in which a speed-based feature of the internal combustion engine, which is correlated with an indicated mean effective pressure of the fuel, is determined during the warm-up of the internal combustion engine and an ideal fuel quantity, which is to be injected into at least one combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine during the warm-up, is ascertained therefrom.

Method for operating an internal combustion engine

A method and a device for operating an internal combustion engine to perform a lambda regulation without using a lambda sensor. Fuel is injected for combustion in a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. A first quantity of the internal combustion engine is ascertained, which allows a conclusion to be drawn about the behavior of an output quantity of the internal combustion engine, in particular of a torque.

Method and device for operating an internal combustion engine

A fuel system for an internal combustion engine includes at least one first fuel pump and a pressure region into which the fuel pump pumps and which communicates with an elastic volume reservoir. The elastic volume reservoir has a characteristic pressure/volume curve, which is defined by at least two points. It is proposed that a first point is defined by a first volume at a first pressure that is somewhat greater than a vapor pressure of the fuel at ambient temperature, and that a second point is defined by a second volume and a second pressure in the pressure region that corresponds to a maximum pressure; the difference between the first and second volumes corresponds at least approximately and at least to a value by which the volume of the fuel in the pressure region decreases upon cooling down from a maximum temperature to ambient temperature.

Fuel system, especially of the common rail type, for an internal combustion engine

A method for operating an internal combustion engine having a fuel pump with a drive shaft is provided, the fuel pump conveying fuel into at least one fuel-collection line, the fuel being subsequently conveyed to at least one combustion chamber via at least one fuel-injection device. In the method, a quantity of the fuel conveyed by the fuel pump into the fuel-collection line is set by means of a valve device. The valve device is configured to selectively connect a discharge side of the fuel pump to a low-pressure region of the fuel pump (during deactivation phase), and selectively disconnect the discharge side from the low-pressure region (during supply phase). In supplying the quantity of fuel, a supply rate, defined as the number of supply phases of the fuel pump per rotation of the drive shaft, is determined as a function of at least one operating parameter of the internal combustion engine.

A fuel system for an internal combustion engine includes a delivery unit and a pressure region into which the delivery unit feeds; the fuel system includes at least one heater and a control unit, which activates the heater when the delivery unit is switched off so that the pressure in the pressure region does not fall below a limit pressure.
