Problems solved by technology

So the first limit becomes phi_purge instead of purge fuel flow rate
Next, the second limit is the sum of the extraction fuel rate and the extraction air rate that the engine is able to absorb with an intentional increase in fuel consumption

Embodiment Construction

[0017] Provides for improved coupling in engine systems (eg, Figure 1-3 A method and system for complete extraction of a fuel system canister in an engine system. The engine controller can be configured to execute control routines such as Figure 4 An example routine for adjusting canister purge as engine operating conditions change such that a preselected proportion of the total engine fuel supply is provided from purge fuel vapors. In particular, the fuel flow rate from the canister can be varied as the canister load changes such that the fraction of engine fuel from the canister is maintained around a preselected ratio ( Figure 5-6 ). exist Figure 7 An example canister pumping operation is described in . exist Figure 7-8 An example block diagram of extraction air-fuel ratio control is shown.

[0018] A description of the terminology used herein is now provided. As used herein, the total engine air mass rate is the mass flow rate of air entering the engine from all...

Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for improving the efficiency of canister purge completion. Based on engine operating conditions, a canister is purged to a compressor inlet or a throttle outlet. During purging conditions, as canister loads change, a purge flow through the canister is varied so that a fixed preselected portion of total engine fueling is delivered as fuel vapors.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the purge of fuel vapors from a fuel system canister in a boosted engine. Background technique [0002] Vehicle emission control systems may be configured to store fuel vapors from fuel tank refueling and daily engine operation in an activated carbon canister. During subsequent engine operation, the stored vapors may be purged into the engine where they are combusted. For example, intake manifold vacuum created during engine rotation may be used to draw in stored fuel vapors. As another example, boost air may be used directly or indirectly to purge fuel vapors to the engine. [0003] During canister pumping, the engine control system may attempt to pump the canister as quickly and completely as possible. However, various purging limitations related to maintaining the engine air-fuel ratio and engine air flow rate may be encountered. As one example, when the canister is nearly full and / or when ambient conditions are ...
