Abstract
Abstract A process for suppressing torque jumps during operation of an internal combustion engine prevents torque jumps when switching pilot injection (pre-injection) on and off in a diesel internal combustion engine by forming a difference between a predetermined total quantity of fuel to be injected and a pilot quantity to be injected by a pilot injector and acting upon the difference with a correction factor that produces torque balancing. A difference quantity which is corrected in this manner represents a main injection quantity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
A process for suppressing torque jumps during operation of an internal combustion engine, which comprises: metering a calculated total injection quantity of fuel to be supplied to a cylinder of an internal combustion engine as a function of an operating point of the internal combustion engine, during a single injection process or during two injection processes per cylinder stroke and metering a pilot injection quantity during a first injection process and a main injection quantity during a second injection process; forming a difference between the total injection quantity and the pilot injection quantity and acting upon the difference with a correction factor producing a balancing of the torque as a function of the operating point of the engine to obtain a value; and representing the main injection quantity with the obtained value for setting the same torque during operation with two injection processes as during operation with only one injection process with the total injection quantity.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
A process for suppressing torque jumps during operation of an internal combustion engine, which comprises: metering a calculated total injection quantity of fuel to be supplied to a cylinder of an internal combustion engine as a function of an operating point of the internal combustion engine, during a single injection process or during two injection processes per cylinder stroke and metering a pilot injection quantity during a first injection process and a main injection quantity during a second injection process; forming a difference between the total injection quantity and the pilot injection quantity and acting upon the difference with a correction factor producing a balancing of the torque as a function of the operating point of the engine to obtain a value; and representing the main injection quantity with the obtained value for setting the same torque during operation with two injection processes as during operation with only one injection process with the total injection quantity.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process according to claim 1, which comprises storing the correction factor in a characteristic diagram.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The process according to claim 1, which comprises obtaining the correction factor as a result of a comparison of two torque models for the internal combustion engine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
The process according to claim 1, which comprises forming a quantity difference and evaluating the quantity difference using the correction factor, based on a smallest minimally meterable pilot injection quantity, the total injection quantity and a smallest spacing between the two injection processes.
