Abstract
In a method for regulating a combustion process of an internal combustion engine with exhaust-gas recirculation, which can be operated with a variable air/fuel ratio, and a fresh-air flow and a recirculated exhaust-gas flow, both the fresh air and the recirculated exhaust-gas flow are metered. The combustion process of an internal combustion engine with exhaust-gas recirculation is regulated, wherein the method makes precise determination of the exhaust-gas recirculating rate possible with a low fault tolerance.
Claims19
A method for regulating a combustion process of an internal combustion engine with exhaust gas recirculation, which can be operated with a variable air/fuel ratio, and a fresh air flow and a recirculated exhaust gas flow, tat the method comprising the step of metering both the fresh air flow and the recirculated exhaust gas flow.
A system for regulating a combustion process of an internal combustion engine with exhaust gas recirculation, which can be operated with a variable air/fuel ratio, and a fresh air flow and a recirculated exhaust gas flow,
- comprising a mass or volume flow sensor for the fresh air flow and a mass or volume flow sensor for the recirculated exhaust gas flow.
