Method of controlling exhaust recycling in an internal combustion engine

Apparatus for controlling exhaust gas recirculation in a compression ignition internal combustion engine, having an injection pump controller, an engine speed control, a crankcase, at least one cylinder and one cylinder head with intake and exhaust ducts interconnected by an exhaust gas recirculating duct with flow controlled by a control device in dependence on operating parameters of the internal combustion engine, said control device comprising:

• a basic characteristic map with the parameters including internal combustion engine speed ne and quantity mf of fuel delivered per working cycle,
• an engine acceleration correction device generating an engine acceleration correction signal, said base signal of said basic characteristic map being modified by correction devices generating correction signals,
• said engine acceleration correction signal being responsive to the parameters including
• a) injection pump controller setpoint
• b) speed control position,
• c) injection pump controller setpoint corresponding to smoke limit,
• said correction signal bing applied multiplicatively to said base signal and wherein if b)>a) and a)>c), a disturbance variable is present, which is taken into account in correspondence with said evaluated parameters a) and c).
