An electronically controlled fuel metering system for an internal combustion engine is proposed which includes devices for damping engine jerking. The following signals are formed: ti (k) as the up-to-date load value; tiM as the up-to-date averaged load value; ti (k-1)+.DELTA.ti/2 as a special load value for use in a transition into overrunning; and tiM+.DELTA.tiM/2 for the purpose of successive approximation of the average value to up-to-date load values in the case of slow acceleration processes and flat courses of load reduction. A computer-controlled realization is possible for forming and selecting the individual values. A block circuit diagram is also provided for an electronically controlled fuel metering system made up of discrete modular elements.

Electronically controlled fuel metering system for an internal

For recirculating the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, a recirculation line is provided which leads from the exhaust side to the intake side of the engine. A valve for controlling the recirculation rate is disposed in the line, and in order to prevent the formation of condensates in the line on the exhaust side when the valve is closed, a flushing line is provided which leads from the line segment on the exhaust side to a location point having lower pressure as compared with the exhaust side.

Apparatus for recirculating the exhaust gas of an internal combustion

A regulating device is proposed for a fuel metering system of an internal combustion engine having .lambda. regulation. The regulating device includes a P-I regulator, and the individual control variables of the regulator are stored in memory and are capable of being recalled in accordance with operating characteristics. By means of asymmetrical P and I components that is, different values at the transition from a lean to a rich mixture or vice versa, the average value for .lambda. can be shifted in a clearly-defined manner, so that the individual exhaust gas components are substantially adapted to the desired values at all operational points. The individual P and I components or regulator control variables are stored in memory in performance graphs, which preferably permit finely-distinguished regulator control during partial-load operation.
