A method for ascertaining learned values for controlling an internal combustion engine, a second drive unit, e.g., an electric motor, drags the internal combustion engine in a specific operating state, and the learned values are ascertained in this operating state.

Method and device for determining learned values for controlling an internal combustion engine

The fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine comprises a feed pump which has an electric drive, by which feed pump fuel is fed from a fuel storage tank into a low-pressure region to the suction side of at least one high-pressure pump. The high-pressure pump pumps fuel into a high-pressure region in which at least one injector is provided to inject the fuel into the internal combustion engine. The fuel injection is controlled by an electric control device. Arranged in the low-pressure region is a pressure sensor which is connected to the control device. The electric drive of the feed pump is activated by the control device in order to set a feed quantity of the feed pump which is variable as a function of at least one operating parameter of the internal combustion engine and/or of the high-pressure pump. The drive of the feed pump is in particular activated by the control device in such a way that, at a high load of the internal combustion engine and/or at a high rotational speed and/or at a high fuel temperature, a greater fuel quantity is fed by the feed pump into the low-pressure region than at a low load and/or a low rotational speed and/or a low fuel temperature.

Fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine

A method for operating an injection valve, in particular a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine, in which a trigger voltage is able to be applied to an actuator, designed as piezoelectric element, of the fuel injector in order to induce an injection of fluid, in particular fuel, supplied to the fuel injector via a supply system. A specifiable test voltage is applied to the actuator in a test triggering, and a fluid pressure prevailing in the supply system is detected at least during the test triggering in order to derive information about an operating state of the fuel injector and/or the actuator from the test voltage and the detected fluid pressure.

Method of operating a fuel injector

A method and a device for exciting pressure fluctuations in a fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine are provided, which in turn enable a determination of the sound velocity of the fuel. A quantity that characterizes the pressure in a fuel storage device or a fuel line is evaluated. In at least one operating state of the internal combustion engine, a natural oscillation of the fuel in the fuel storage device or the fuel line is excited.

Method and device for exciting pressure fluctuations in a fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine

A device and a method for determining pressure fluctuations in a fuel supply system provide two signal filters to enable determining as much information about pressure fluctuations as possible with minimal sensor use. A sensor signal which is characteristic of a pressure in the area of a fuel injector is filtered using the two filters, which have filter characteristics that differ from one another.
