4 results about "Not-To-Exceed" patented technology

The Not-To-Exceed (NTE) standard promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ensures that heavy-duty truck engine emissions are controlled over the full range of speed and load combinations commonly experienced in use. NTE establishes an area (the "NTE zone") under the torque curve of an engine where emissions must not exceed a specified value for any of the regulated pollutants. The NTE test procedure does not involve a specific driving cycle of any specific length (mileage or time). Rather it involves driving of any type that could occur within the bounds of the NTE control area, including operation under steady-state or transient conditions and under varying ambient conditions. Emissions are averaged over a minimum time of thirty seconds and then compared to the applicable NTE emission limits.

A method of control of supercharging pressure

This invention discloses a boost pressure control method, which includes four stages: a self-learning inactive stage, a self-learning stabilization stage, a self-learning activation stage, and a self-learning update stage. In the self-learning update stage, based on the average actual boost pressure before and after filtering, the average throttle inlet pressure before and after filtering, the average of the minimum actual boost pressure before filtering, or the average of the maximum actual boost pressure before filtering, a self-learning update coefficient for the minimum or maximum boost pressure is calculated and updated to the corresponding operating condition. The corresponding operating condition refers to engine speed, load, intake air temperature, coolant temperature, target intake pressure, atmospheric pressure, and target boost pressure fluctuations all not exceeding a preset range and their average values ​​being the same. Finally, the minimum or maximum boost pressure of the current operating condition is updated based on the self-learning update coefficient. This invention can perform self-learning of boost pressure, including minimum and maximum boost pressure.
