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 providi ng 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 th e boosted pressure is changed in a manner proportional to a change in the sens ed torque demand so as to maintain the combustion temperature at approximately the target value, i.e., below 2100~K. |
