A fuel injection control device according to an embodiment is a device for controlling fuel injection performed by a fuel injection device disposed in a cylinder of a two-stroke engine, comprising: a scavenging and exhaust gas state quantity acquisition part configured to acquire a parameter related to a state quantity of scavenging and exhaust gas in the cylinder; a swirl momentum calculation part configured to calculate a momentum of swirl generated in the cylinder on the basis of the parameter; and a fuel injection pressure calculation part configured to calculate an injection pressure of fuel from the fuel injection device corresponding to the momentum of swirl calculated by the swirl momentum calculation part.

A controller for an internal combustion engine is configured to control the fuel injection valve so that the fuel injection valve selectively performs partial lift injection, which does not open a valve member at a fully open position, and full lift injection, which opens the valve member at the fully open position. The internal combustion engine includes the fuel injection valve and a fuel supply system. The controller includes an energizing time setting unit, a fuel pressure calculation unit, and a smoothening process unit. The energizing time setting unit is configured to set an energizing time for the full lift injection based on graded fuel pressure calculated by the smoothening process unit and set an energizing time for the partial lift injection based on fuel pressure calculated by the fuel pressure calculation unit.

Disclosed is a method for controlling an engine torque for a diesel engine, characterized in that the engine torque control is implemented in an injection system. The injection system in question includes a high-pressure pump controlled by an engine control unit, the high-pressure pump supplying a fuel supply rail, the pump being dimensioned to be capable of delivering a capacity volume of compressible fuel for each combustion cycle of the diesel engine. It also includes a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of the fuel in the fuel rail.

Systems and methods are provided for operating a port fuel and direct injection fuel system of a rolling variable displacement engine (rVDE). In one example, a method may include selecting between controlling a lift pump of the fuel system to output fuel at a mechanically limited pressure and controlling the lift pump to output fuel at a pressure lower than the mechanically limited pressure based on whether port fuel injection is used. In this way, the lift pump may be controlled without feedback from a pressure sensor, reducing system costs, while electrical power consumption increases due to operating the lift pump to output fuel at the mechanically limited pressure are minimized due to the rVDE technology, which reduces port fuel injection usage.

A pump health assessment system and a method for providing a pump health of a pump is disclosed. The method includes: determining that there is an imbalance in the pump; increasing pump flow from the pump; measuring a rail pressure of a fuel rail; determining if the rail pressure is substantially equal to an expected rail pressure profile; and in accordance with a determination that the rail pressure is not substantially equal to the rail pressure profile, outputting an indication of pump damage.

A delivery device for delivering a medium in a vehicle and for limiting a system pressure of the delivery device includes a vehicle pump, which is driven by an electric motor. The electric motor is controlled by a controller, the controller being configured to detect an actual rotational speed of the electric motor and an actual operating current of the electric motor. If the actual operating current of the electric motor exceeds a predefined operating current limit value, the controller is configured to generate a first signal relating to a system pressure being exceeded. The predefined operating current limit value is dependent on the actual rotational speed of the electric motor.

A controller for an internal combustion engine including a fuel pressure control processor that controls a fuel pressure at a target fuel pressure, an instruction value calculating processor that calculates a peak instruction value, an upper limit guard processor that executes a guard process on the peak instruction value, an energizing processor that energizes the coil based on the peak instruction value that has undergone the guard process, a convergence determination processor that determines whether or not the detected fuel pressure has converged on the target fuel pressure, and a decreasing processor that decreases the upper limit guard value to a lower value when the fuel pressure has converged on the target fuel pressure than when the fuel pressure has not converged on the target fuel pressure.

Methods and systems for adjusting fuel injector operation according to changes in fuel pressure during inter-injection periods are described. The inter-injection period may be before and after fuel is injected to an engine. The methods and systems described herein may be suitable for direct and port fuel injectors.

A method for checking a parameter correlating with a pressure in a pressure-dependent fluid delivery system, the fluid delivery system having: a current-controlled electric motor controlled by a motor controller, and a fluid pump driven by the electric motor, includes: determining a rotational speed of the electric motor; determining a current of the electric motor, by reading out an activation current of the motor controller; calculating a pressure value as a function of the rotational speed and the current of the electric motor; and comparing the calculated pressure value with the parameter.

A fuel injection control method for an internal combustion engine is provided. The internal combustion engine includes a fuel pump (38) that pressure-feeds fuel, a fuel injection valve (19) that injects the fuel pressure-fed by the fuel pump directly into a cylinder of the internal combustion engine (1), and a fuel pressure detection device (45) that detects a pressure of the fuel pressure-fed by the fuel pump. The fuel injection control method executes a first smoothing process (S3) of performing a smoothing process on a detected fuel pressure by first smoothing, a second smoothing process (S4) of performing a smoothing process on the detected fuel pressure by second smoothing different from the first smoothing, and a selection process (S5) of selecting, based on an operating state of the internal combustion engine, whether to execute fuel injection control (S6, S7) based on a first detected fuel pressure smoothed by the first smoothing process or fuel injection control (S8, S9) based on a second detected fuel pressure smoothed by the second smoothing process.
