ABSTRACT:
A multicylinder homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine with a control system designed to maintain stable HCCI combustion during engine speed/load transitions by: (1) determining “combustion parameter” values such as the maximum rate of pressure rise for each cycle of each cylinder, (2) adjusting engine operating parameters (such as charge-air intake temperature, intake pressure (boost), or charge-air oxygen concentration) to effect a change in the combustion parameter value, (3) thereafter adjusting an engine “control parameter” (e.g., commanded fuel quantity) to each cylinder to maintain a desired target for the combustion parameter value, and (4) individually adjusting cooling, heating and/or fuel command to deviating cylinders to achieve uniform combustion. Additional strategies such as averaging of combustion parameter values and use of deadband regions in the control of HCCI combustion are also set forth.
