Abstract
A method is disclosed for controlling a compression release brake mechanism in a combustion engine. The method comprises: determining a desired exhaust manifold gas pressure level; continuously monitoring a set of control parameters, including at least two of cylinder pressure, exhaust manifold pressure, turbine speed and turbine expansion ratio; controlling a brake pressure valve and a variable turbine geometry by said control parameters, to drive one of the control parameters to a set first maximum level; and, while maintaining the first of the set of control parameters at the set first maximum level, controlling an exhaust gas recirculation valve by said control parameters in a closed loop to allow exhaust gas to recirculate towards an air inlet system while driving a second of the set of control parameters to a set second maximum level.
