CLOSED-LOOP COMBUSTION CONTROL IN PPCI ENGINE

Numerical Investigation and Evaluation of Applying PPCI Combustion in A HSDI Diesel Engine

Reformer Gas Application in Combustion Onset Control of HCCI Engine

Homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion is spontaneous multi-site combustion of a nominally premixed air/fuel mixture that exhibits high rate of pressure rise and short combustion duration. To avoid excessive pressure rise rate and knocking, HCCI engines are fueled with highly diluted mixture using a combination of excess air and/or EGR. HCCI combustion is attractive due to ...

Closed Loop Control

Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate electrode temperatures obtained using a radiofrequency ablation system that incorporates closed loop feedback control to achieve preset target electrode temperatures and to determine if closed loop temperature control results in a lower incidence of developing a coagulum. Methods and Results Two hundred seventy patients underwent catheter abl...

Closed Loop Control Methods

In this paper, a systematic overview of PLL-based closed-loop control methods for interleaved DCM/CCM boundary boost PFC converters is presented. It is shown that the PLL-based closed-loop methods always provide stable operation, unlike the open-loop control methods, where the only method which results in stable operation is the slave synchronization to the turn-on instant of the master with cu...

Active Combustion Control of Diesel HCCI Engine: Combustion Timing

We propose a model based control strategy to adapt the injection settings according to the air path dynamics on a Diesel HCCI engine. This approach complements existing airpath and fuelpath controllers, and aims at accurately controlling the start of combustion. For that purpose, start of injection is adjusted based on a Knock Integral Model and intake manifold conditions. Experimental results ...
