Embodiment Construction

[0017] The present description relates to an EGR system connected to a turbocharged variable displacement engine in a motor vehicle. In one non-limiting example, a VDE engine may be configured to figure 1 A portion of an engine system shown in , wherein the engine includes at least one cylinder, a control system, a turbocharger, an exhaust gas recirculation system, and other components. The engine is also configured to have as in figure 2 Multiple cylinder banks shown in . The engine controller may be configured to execute control programs such as Figure 3 to Figure 4 Exemplary routine) to adjust LP based on the minimum cylinder load requirement of the engine when the engine transitions between operation with all cylinders enabled (non-VDE mode) and operation with one or more cylinders deactivated (VDE mode) - EGR schedule (schedule). Different EGR schedules may be selected based on engine speed load maps, such as the speed load maps of FIGS. 5A and 5B . refer to Imag...

Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for controlling LP-EGR flow in a variable displacement engine. In one example, a method may include providing a higher fixed LP-EGR percentage relative to a total intake air flow during a VDE mode, and providing a lower fixed EGR percentage relative to the total intake air flow during a non-VDE mode. Further, during a tip-out when operating in the VDE mode at a load below a threshold, transitioning out of the VDE mode after transitioning the LP-EGR from the higher fixed percentage to the lower fixed percentage.

Description

technical field [0001] The present description generally relates to methods and systems for improving LP-EGR delivery in variable displacement engines. Background technique [0002] Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems recirculate a portion of exhaust gas from an engine exhaust to the engine intake system to improve fuel economy and vehicle emissions by reducing throttling losses and combustion temperatures. In a turbocharged engine, the EGR system may include a low pressure EGR (LP-EGR) circuit that diverts exhaust gas from downstream of the turbine of the turbocharger and injects the gas before the compressor. However, the LP-EGR loop has a long delivery delay because the exhaust gases must travel through the turbocharger compressor, high pressure air induction line, charge air cooler, and intake manifold before reaching the combustion chamber. Therefore, it is difficult to provide the desired amount of EGR to the cylinder, especially during transient conditions. [0...
