Closed Loop Engine Control for Regulating NOx Emissions, Using a Two-Dimensional Fuel-Air Curve: 7,168,411

Abstract: 

An engine control strategy that ensures that NOx emissions from the engine will be maintained at an acceptable level. The control strategy is based on a two-dimensional fuel-air curve, in which air manifold pressure (AMP) is a function of fuel header pressure and engine speed. The control strategy provides for closed loop NOx adjustment to a base AMP value derived from the fuel-air curve.
