This document appears to be about a thesis presentation on electronic engine control presented by Benzaidi Nacera at the University Djilali Liabès de Sidi Bel Abbés, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Departement Of electro technical. The document provides background on the motivation for electronic engine control due to government regulations on emissions and fuel economy. It describes the concept of an electronic engine control system, including inputs to the controller like throttle position, mass airflow, engine temperature, and outputs from the controller like fuel metering control, ignition control, and exhaust gas recirculation control. It also provides a bibliography of references used.

ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL

presented by :
 Benzaidi Nacera

Academic year :
2021 / 2022
Motivation for Electronic Engine Control :
The initial motivation for electronic engine control came in part from two government
requirements. The first came about as a result of legislation to regulate automobile exhaust
emissions under the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The second
was a thrust to improve the national average fuel economy by government regulation. The
issues involved in these regulations along with normal market forces continue to motivate
improvements in reduction of regulated gases as well as fuel economy. Electronic engine
control is only one of the automotive design factors involved in fuel economy improvements.
However, this book is only concerned with the electronic systems. (Austen, 2003)
Concept of an Electronic Engine Control System :
In order to understand electronic engine control, it is necessary to understand some
fundamentals of how the power produced by the engine is controlled. Any driver understands
intuitively that the throttle directly regulates the power produced by the engine at any
operating condition. It does this by controlling the airflow into the engine.
In essence the engine is an air pump such that at any RPM, the mass flow rate of air into the
engine varies directly with throttle plate angular position
As the driver depresses the accelerator pedal, the throttle angle) increases,
which increases the cross-sectional area through which the air flows, reducing the resistance
to airflow and thereby allowing an increased airflow into the engine. A model for the airflow
vs. throttle angle and engine RPM is given later in this chapter. The role of fuel control is to
regulate the fuel that is mixed with the air so that it increases in proportion to the airflow. As
we will see later in this chapter, the performance of the engine is affected strongly by the
mixture (i.e., by the ratio of air to fuel). However (Kassakian, Wolf, Miller, & Hurton, 2005)

Inputs to Controller :
Figure 5.6 identifies the major physical quantities that are sensed and provided to the
electronic controller as inputs. They are as follows:
1. Throttle position sensor (TPS)
2. Mass airflow rate (MAF)
3. Engine temperature (coolant temperature) (CT)
4. Engine speed (RPM) and angular position
5. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve position
6. Exhaust gas oxygen (EGO) concentration
Output from Controller
Figure 5.7 identifies the major physical quantities that are outputs from the controller. These
outputs are
1. Fuel metering control
2. Ignition control (dwell and timing)
3. Exhaust gas recirculation control
4. Fuel tank evaporative emission control (EVAP)
This chapter discusses the various electronic engine control functions separately and explains
how each function is implemented by a separate control system. (Gunston, 1989)
