Abstract

Zur effektiven Regelung eines Verbrennungsmotors (1) wird die Bestimmung des an der Kurbelwelle (4) des Verbrennungsmotors (1) auftretenden effektiven Motormoments vorgeschlagen. Hierzu wird der in einem Brennraum (2) des Verbrennungsmotors (1) auftretende Brennraumdruck in Abhängigkeit von dem Kurbelwinkel (ϕ) erfasst und daraus das indizierte Motormoment in dem Brennraum abgeleitet. Aus dem indizierten Motormoment und der Winkelgeschwindigkeit der Kurbelwelle (4) kann dann das Verlustmoment des Verbrennungsmotors (1) und schließlich das effektive Motormoment abgeleitet werden.
