Gasoline Engine Management

Bol

The BOSCH handbook series on different automotive technologies has become one of the most definitive sets of reference books that automotive engineers have at their disposal. Different topics are covered in a concise but descriptive way backed up by diagrams, graphs and tables enabling the reader to comprehend the subject matter fully. This book discusses the basics relating to the method of operation of gasoline-engine control systems. The descriptions of cylinder-charge control systems, fuel-injection systems (intake manifold and gasoline direct injection), and ignition systems provide a comprehensive, firsthand overview of the control mechanisms indispensable for operating a modern gasoline engine. The practical implementation of engine management and control is described by the examples of various Motronic variants, and the control and regulation functions integrated in this particular management systems. The book concludes with a chapter describing how a Motronic system is developed.;COMPLETE CONTENTS - History of the automobile - Basics of the gasoline (SI) engine - Gasoline-engine management - History of gasoline-engine management systems development - Systems for cylinder-charge control - Gasoline fuel injection: an overview - Fuel supply - Manifold fuel injection - Gasoline direct injection - Ignition-system overview - Inductive ignition system - Ignition coils - Spark plugs - Motronic engine management - Sensors - Electronic control unit (ECU) - Electronic control systems - Electronic diagnosis - Data transfer between automotive electronic systems - Exhaust emissions - Reducing emissions - Catalytic emissions control - Emissions-control legislation - Service technology - ECU development.

The BOSCH handbook series on different automotive technologies has become one of the most definitive sets of reference books that automotive engineers have at their disposal. Starting with a brief review of the beginnings of automotive history, this book discusses the basics relating to the method of operation of gasoline-engine control systems. The descriptions of cylinder-charge control systems, fuel-injection systems (in-take manifold and gasoline direct injection), and ignition systems provide a comprehensive, firsthand overview of the control mechanisms indispensable for operating a modern gasoline engine. The practical implementation of engine management and control is described by the examples of various Motronic engine-management systems and of the control and regulation functions integrated in this particular management system. The 3rd edition offers new or completely revised chapters in the following areas - High pressure pumps for direct gasoline injection; Mixture formation for manifold injection; Gasoline engines fuelled by natural gas; Catalytic exhaust-gas treatment; Diagnostics. A key chapter looks at emission control legislation and provides an insight into the complexity of the statutory provisions.
