The rate is set.
  • the exhaust gas recirculation amount to the intake passage by the EGR device is set to be relatively large in order to reliably suppress the generation of NOx (for example, when the EGR rate is set to 30%), the amount of oxygen in the intake air is reduced. It will drop significantly. For this reason, if it is attempted to execute main injection that avoids incomplete combustion and does not generate smoke, the injection amount per main injection may have to be extremely reduced. As a result, a sufficient fuel injection amount for obtaining the engine torque required by the driver (hereinafter referred to as the required torque) cannot be ensured, resulting in insufficient engine torque and deterioration of drivability.

First, after combustion of the fuel injected by the main injection, torque auxiliary injection is executed when the temperature of the combustion field decreases to the range of 1100K to 1400K, and the combustion field generated by the combustion of the fuel injected by this torque auxiliary injection is reduced.

Abstract

Lorsqu'une injection principale est divisée en plusieurs parties de manière à éviter la production de fumée et qu'un rapport EGR élevé est déterminé pour limiter la quantité d'injection de l'injection principale, un couple requis peut ne pas être obtenu pendant le fonctionnement. Dans ce cas, une injection séparée est exécutée pour suffire au couple insuffisant à la fin de l'injection principale. L'injection séparée est exécutée une fois que le rapport de production de chaleur obtenu par la combustion d'un carburant injecté par l'injection principale a atteint "0" ou "pratiquement 0" et que la température du domaine de combustion est tombée dans une plage allant de 1100 K à 1400 K. De plus, le moment d'exécution et le moment d'injection de l'injection séparée sont déterminés de sorte que la température du domaine de combustion ne dépasse pas 1400 K.
