Abstract
Internal combustion engine comprising an engine controller (2) configured to control a first control parameter and a second control parameter, characterised in that the engine controller (2) has stored a, preferably at least piecewise linear, control relationship (3) between the first control parameter and the second control parameter, and in that the engine controller (2) is configured to control the internal combustion engine (1) based on a distance (d) of an actual working point (4) of the internal combustion engine (1) from the control relationship (3), wherein the actual working point (4) comprises actual values of the first control parameter and the second control parameter.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- an engine controller of an internal combustion engine, wherein the engine controller is configured to control a first control parameter and a second control parameter, wherein the engine controller has stored a control relationship between the first control parameter and the second control parameter, the engine controller is configured to control the internal combustion engine based on a distance of an actual working point of the internal combustion engine from the control relationship, and the actual working point comprises actual values of the first control parameter and the second control parameter.
A method for operating an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- controlling a first control parameter and a second control parameter;
- using a control relationship between the first control parameter and the second control parameter;
- and
- controlling the internal combustion engine based on a distance of an actual working point of the internal combustion engine from the control relationship, wherein the actual working point comprises actual values of the first control parameter and the second control parameter.
A tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, comprising processor-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- controlling a first control parameter and a second control parameter;
- reading and/or loading and/or using a control relationship between the first control parameter and the second control parameter;
- and
- outputting control signals for controlling the internal combustion engine based on a distance of an actual working point of the internal combustion engine from the control relationship, wherein the actual working point comprises actual values of the first control parameter and the second control parameter.
