FUEL INJECTION CONTROL DEVICE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
A fuel injection control device is applied to an internal combustion engine including a fuel injection valve and causes a valve body to be in a valve open state accompanying an energization of the fuel injection valve to inject fuel. The fuel injection control device acquires a dynamic parameter. The fuel injection control device acquires an injection amount parameter. The fuel injection control device calculates, based on the dynamic parameter, a dynamic correction value. The fuel injection control device calculates, based on the injection amount parameter, an injection amount correction value. The fuel injection control device corrects a fuel injection using the dynamic correction value and the injection amount correction value.
Systems and methods for vehicle fuel tank refueling
Methods and systems are provided for vehicle fuel tanks including multiple reservoirs. In one example, a method may include opening a canister purge valve of a fuel system responsive to a fuel level of a fuel tank transitioning above a first threshold fuel level, and closing the canister purge valve after flowing a pre-determined amount of fuel to the fuel tank while the canister purge valve is open.
Injection control device
An injection control device executes a current-drive of a fuel injection valve to inject fuel into an engine. The injection control device includes: a drive controller that controls energization by correcting an energization instruction time when injecting the fuel by executing the current-drive of the fuel injection valve; an estimated energization time correction amount calculation unit that calculates an estimated energization time correction amount; and a deterioration determination unit that determines deterioration of the charging capacitor based on a calculated estimated energization time correction amount and the energization time correction amount.
METHOD FOR OPTIMISING THE TIME GRADIENT OF THE PRESSURE INCREASE IN AN INJECTION SYSTEM OF A HYBRID MOTOR VEHICLE
Disclosed is a method for optimizing the time gradient of the pressure increase in a fuel injection system of a hybrid motor vehicle. The method determines and uses the engine torque generated by the electric machine of the vehicle to reduce the engine torque generated by the internal combustion engine of the vehicle and allow the high-pressure pump of the internal combustion engine to generate, if applicable, a higher value of the time gradient of the pressure increase in the common supply chamber of its injection system.
CONTROL SYSTEM OF ELECTRONIC-CONTROLLED OIL-GAS DUAL FUEL ENGINE
A control system of an electronic-controlled oil-gas dual fuel engine includes electronic control pumps, fuel gas injection electromagnetic valves, a fuel gas control device and a fuel oil control device. The fuel gas control device and the fuel oil control device are electrically connected with a control device of the engine. The fuel gas control device is electrically connected with the fuel gas injection electromagnetic valves and controls the opening time and the opening duration of each fuel gas injection electromagnetic valve installed on a pipeline between a natural gas rail and a cylinder cover air inlet channel of the engine. The fuel oil control device is electrically connected with the electronic control pumps, and controls the starting time and the operation duration of the electronic control pump, and the electronic control pumps are installed on a pipeline between an engine fuel oil rail and a cylinder cover fuel injector.

A dual-chamber onboard electrolysis system is configured to produce HHO gas for heavy duty trucking applications.
Adaptive high pressure fuel pump system and method for predicting pumped mass
A method of adaptively predicting, during operation of a pump, a mass of fuel pumped by the pump during a pumping event to a fuel accumulator (“Q.sub.pump”) to control operation of the pump is provided, comprising: generating an adaptive model of operation of the pump, including estimating a start of pumping (“SOP”) position of a plunger of the pump, estimating Q.sub.pump, determining a converged value of the estimated SOP position, and determining a converged value of the estimated Q.sub.pump; using the adaptive model to predict Q.sub.pump by inputting to the model the converged value of the estimated SOP position, a measured pressure of fuel in the fuel accumulator and a measured temperature of fuel in the fuel accumulator; and controlling operation of the pump in response to the predicted Q.sub.pump.
PUMP UNIT
A pump unit may include a pump configured to increase a pressure of diesel fuel and discharge the diesel fuel to a fuel passage in which a filter is disposed, and a controller configured to control an operation of the pump. The controller may be configured to execute freeze avoidance control in which the operation of the pump is controlled using an index that indicates a degree of clogging of the filter caused by the diesel fuel freezing. In the freeze avoidance control, the controller may be configured to apply a higher load to the pump as the degree of clogging of the filter indicated by the index is higher.
EXPLOSION SAFE ELECTROLYSIS UNIT
A dual-chamber electrolysis vessel safely stores HHO gas for use by an internal combustion engine.
METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING FUEL LEAKAGE OF A VEHICLE
A method for diagnosing fuel leakage of a vehicle includes: measuring a pressure of a fuel tank by a pressure sensor in a closed state of a fuel system during starting-off of the vehicle; measuring an inner temperature of the fuel tank by a temperature sensor; and diagnosing, by a controller, whether or not leakage occurs by performing different leakage diagnoses depending on a pressure condition of the fuel tank. Thus, the controller performs a first leakage diagnosis when a pressure value of the fuel tank, measured in the measuring the pressure of the fuel tank, is within an atmospheric pressure level; performs a second leakage diagnosis when the pressure value is higher than a positive pressure; and performs a third leakage diagnosis when the pressure value is lower than a negative pressure.
