Abstract

The values for the speed of the crankshaft are corrected by means of an acausal mean-value filter, and the change in the kinetic energy of the crankshaft in the expansion interval of a cylinder is calculated from the dynamically corrected speed values and referred to the maximum fuel quantity which can be fed in this interval. The dimensionless residue obtained therefrom represents for the cylinder under consideration a measure of too much or too little injected fuel. Correction terms are derived from the calculated residues for the injection times of the individual cylinders. This renders adaptation possible in the overall region of the characteristic diagram, in particular also in the case of speed transitions.
