A bias correction method for fast fuel-to-air ratio estimation in diesel engines
2013
λ probes in turbocharged diesel engines are usually located downstream of the turbine, exhibiting a good dynamic response but a significant delay because of the exhaust line transport and the hardware itself. With the introduction of after-treatment systems, new sensors that can measure the exhaust concentrations are required for optimal control and diagnosis. Zirconia-based potentiometric sensors permit the measurement of nitrogen oxides and oxygen with the same hardware. However, their dynamic response is slower and more filtered than that of traditional λ probes and, in addition, the sensor location downstream of the after-treatment systems increases this problem. The paper uses a Kalman filter for online dynamic estimation of the relative fuel-to-air ratio λ−1 in a turbocharged diesel engine. The combination of a fast drifted fuel-to-air ratio model with a slow but accurate zirconia sensor permits the model bias to be corrected. This bias is modelled with a look-up table depending on the engine operat...
