<p>A method of operating an internal combustion engine (22), wherein intake ambient air is boosted to a higher pressure by passage through at least one compressor (19) and then introduced into the internal combustion engine (22). Fuel is also introduced into the internal combustion engine (22) for providing combustion in admixture with the air charge at a combustion temperature approximating a target value. Various engine operating parameters, inclusive of torque demand, e.g., accelerator pedal depression (33), are sensed and the boosted pressure is changed in a manner proportional to a change in the sensed torque demand so as to maintain the combustion temperature at approximately the target value, i.e., below 2100°K.</p> |
