Abstract

Bei einem Adaptionsverfahren zur Steuerung der Einspritzung einer Mehrzylinder-Brennkraftmaschine erfolgt eine λ-Gleichstellung der einzelnen Zylinder (11) im homogenen Betrieb dahingehend, dass allen Zylindern (11) die gleiche Kraftstoffmasse eingespritzt wird. Im geschichtet-mageren Betrieb erfolgt eine Drehmomentengleichstellung, bei der die Einspritzsteuerung so adaptiert wird, dass alle Zylinder (11) das gleiche Drehmoment abgeben. Bei Beginn dieser Drehmomentengleichstellung werden die letzten Werte der λ-Gleichstellung verwendet, jedoch nicht umgekehrt.
