ENGINE CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

A control device for an engine provided with a turbocharger properly uses a parameter used for controlling a center-of-gravity position of a heat generation rate determined by a heat generation rate as the amount per unit crank angle of heat generated by combustion of fuel depending on operating situations of the engine and a vehicle in which the engine is mounted. Specifically, an increase in a turbocharging pressure of the turbocharger is executed when a rotational speed of the engine and a speed of the vehicle in which the engine is mounted are lower than predetermined reference values in a case where the center-of-gravity position of a heat generation rate is further on a retard side than a predetermined crank angle and one or both of an increase in a fuel injection pressure and advancing of a fuel injection timing are executed when the rotational speed of the engine or the speed of the vehicle in which the engine is mounted are equal to or higher than the predetermined reference values in the case where the center-of-gravity position of a heat generation rate is further on the retard side than the predetermined crank angle. Then, fuel economy can be improved by the center-of-gravity position of a heat generation rate being maintained at a predetermined fixed value regardless of a load of the engine and/or the engine rotational speed while an increase in noise and vibration a user feels uncomfortable with is suppressed.
