The engine idle speed mode becomes worse as one drives a vehicle for several years. This is due to ageing of engine and power-train parts. In this case, unstable idle conditions such as engine stall and droop are frequently experienced when the engine gets heavy torque loads due to power steering pump and air conditioning compressor. The objective of this paper is to study on the idle speed control using PID controller under load disturbances. The input of the PID controller is an error of rpm. The output of the PID controller is an ISCV duty cycle. The dSPACE Controller Boards are used to interface with engine. The on-vehicle test is realized using by SIMULINK and BLOCKSETS tools. The real time interface control panel supplied by Control Desk S/W is designed to have good results in engine idle speed control.

This paper presents an approach to nonlinear engine idle controller and intake manifold absolute pressure(MAP) observer based on mean torque production model. A stable engine idle speed is important in that the unstable engine Idle mode can make engine to drooping or stall state. A sliding fuzzy controller has been designed to control engine idle speed under load disturbance. A sliding observer is also developed to estimate the intake manifold absolute pressure and compared with the actual MAP sensor value. The sliding mode observer has shown good robustness and good tracking performance. The inputs of sliding fuzzy controller are the errors of rpm and MAP. The output is a duty cycle(DC) for driving a idle speed control valve(ISCV).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance characteristics of the counterflow exhaust heat recovery device for the applied gasoline engines. The EHRS device is installed behind the catalyst. This study investigates the engine warm-up characteristic, the exhaust noise characteristic, the back-pressure characteristic. The engine warm-up characteristics is (load 0%, load 10%, load 20%) in (idle, 1000rpm, 1500rpm, 2000rpm, 2500rpm) conditions by measuring the time it warmed up, coolant temperature ($25^{\circ}C{\sim}80^{\circ}C$) until the performance evaluation is performed. The wide open throttle and the coast down the exhaust noise and the back-pressure characteristic experiment repeated twice. The test conditions is 950rpm~6,050rpm proceed experiment repeated 3-5 times. Load 0% idle conditions except the results improved engine warm-up characteristics. The exhaust noise obtain similar results the BASE+EHRS W/O_FRT_MUFF with BASE and back-pressure to obtain similar results BASE+EHRS W/O_FRT_ MUFF with BASE+EHRS.

In the SI engine, the improvement of combustion stability is important not only for the fuel consumption rate but also for the emission control at idling of engine. Thus the engine speed fluctuation at idle operation mainly comes from cyclic variation of combustion in the SI engine. In this syudy, the improvement of combustion stability for the SI engine at idle condition by the cooling water temperature, duty ratio of ISC, spark ignition timing as well as the reducement of the harmful exhaust gas emission was discussed.

The effect of exhaust heat recovery system can be evaluated by two well known method. First method is to measure the time duration from engine start under cold coolant temperature till coolant get warmed. By this methodology coolant warming duration can be index of warm-up effect. Second method is to analyze heat balance of the engine during warm-up phase under steady engine operation so that wasted energy by losses such as cooling and exhaust can be index of warm-up effect. This study focused on evaluation of warming-up effect by both methodology above mentioned using 2L SI engine under from idle to 2000rpm steady condition. Results, idle operation showed low heat recovery efficiency but under higher engine speed condition, remarkable heat recovery efficiency improvement was observed. In 2000rpm steady condition, warm-up duration of engine is decreased by exhaust heat recovery system.

The purpose of this paper is to study on the control of the engine idle speed under sudden A/C load which is one of the most severe disturbances on engines. Three types of the closed-loop controller are developed for the stable engine idle speed control. The input of the controller is an error of rpm. The output of the controller is an ISCV duty cycle. The anticipation delay is considered to deal with the delay time of the air mass in engine. The PID, Fuzzy and PID-type Fuzzy controllers with the anticipation delay have improved the engine idle speed condition more than current ECU map table under the A/C load.

The objective of this paper is to study on the idle speed control using the fuzzy logic controller under load disturbance. The design procedure for fuzzy logic controller depends on the expert's knowledge or trial and error. The inputs of the fuzzy controller are error of rpm and variation of rpm. The output of the fuzzy controller is an ISC motor step and ignition timing. The airflow is controlled by the ISC motor movement and the idle speed is controlled by the airflow control and ignition timing control. During the control, air to fuel was checked by LAMBDA sensor. All experiments were performed in a real vehicle.

Idle NVH characteristics are one of the most important aspects among the vehicle performances. Vehicle developers are devoted to improve vehicle interior noise and steering wheel and seat vibrations. In order to improve the idle quality, noise and vibration transfer path should be carefully evaluated. Also, effects of various components related to the idle performance should be confirmed. A general procedure for improving the idle qualify is described in detail. The relationship among cylinder pressure characteristics, crankshaft rotational speed variation, and vehicle vibrations is also investigated. Influences of drive shaft, torque converter, air conditioning system, vehicle structure including engine mount system, and idle control parameters on the vehicle idle quality are studied. Weak points of typical vehicles on the idle qualify are identified. Some of improvement measures are proposed and verified.

본 논문은 파생형엔진의 설계를 위해 시동시간 예측모델을 개발하는 경우를 다루었다. 파생형엔진 설계를 위해 압축기/터빈의 특성맵을 새로 제안한 Modified Pump Scaling Law(MPS)방법을 사용하여 시동모델링에 필요한 아이들 이하 회전수(sub idle rpm) 영역으로 확장시켰고, 기준엔진의 손실특성에서 압력/온도와 엔진별 특성차이를 고려한 파생형엔진의 손실모델을 도출하였다. 이러한 특성을 반영한 파생형엔진의 시동시간 예측모델은 시험결과와 비교하여 비교적 양호한 결과를 나타내었다.

최근 가스터빈엔진의 신뢰성 높은 시동시스템 개발이 가스터빈 산업의 주요 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 통상 엔진 성능향상 연구는 아이들에서 최대 회전수 사이 영역에서 수행되어 왔으나, 시동성능 및 신뢰성 향상 요구에 따라 엔진 정지상태에서 아이들까지 영역에 대한 탈설계 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 아이들 이하영역에서의 엔진 구성품 특성 파악은 이러한 시동연구의 기초가 되나 일반적인 구성품 단위시험은 여러 이유로 이 영역에 관심을 기울이지 못하였다. 압축기의 경우 일반적인 맵을 아이들 이하영역으로 확장하는 다양한 해석적 연구가 시도되고 있다. 본 연구는 지금까지 제안된 압축기맵 확장기법을 분석하고, 새로운 확장기법을 제안하여 그 결과를 시험결과와 비교/검증하였다.
