Procedure for determining commencement of combustion in cylinder in internal combustion engine entails forming difference between last calculated average value and last stored value and comparing this with threshold value

摘要

The procedure for determining the commencement of a combustion in the cylinder in internal combustion engine includes taking a series of measured values and storing them, and which describe a physical characteristic of the gas and fuel mixture in the cylinder. An average value is calculated from the last stored measured value and a predetermined number of measured values which directly precede the last stored measured value in the series. A difference is formed between the last calculated average value and last stored value and compared with a threshold value.
