ESTIMATION OF THE EXHAUST PRESSURE OF A VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for estimating the instantaneous exhaust pressure of a vehicle engine, the engine being connected to an exhaust manifold, the vehicle including at least one camshaft controlling intake and exhaust valves. The method is characterized in that it includes the steps of determining an engine speed and a total gas fill in the exhaust; calculating intermediate pressure ratios from mappings having the engine speed and the total fill as inputs; calculating an overall pressure ratio via interpolation of the intermediate pressure ratios; and multiplying the overall pressure ratio by a reference exhaust pressure, the product of the multiplication determining the instantaneous exhaust pressure. The method enables simple and efficient estimation of the instantaneous exhaust pressure of a vehicle engine.
