Components in EMS
• An ECU might contain a 32-bit,
40-MHz processor.
• The code in an average ECU
takes up less than 1-2 megabyte
(MB) of memory.
• The processor is packaged in a
module with hundreds of other
components on a multi-layer ECU
circuit board
board.

Exhaust Emissions
– Exhaust Components
• The engine exhaust consists of the products of combustion of
air and fuel mixture.
mixture
• Fuel is a mixture of chemical compounds termed
hydrocarbons(HC)
• Under perfect combustion conditions,
conditions the hydrocarbons would
combine in a thermal reaction with oxygen in the air to form
carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)
• Unfortunately, perfect combustion does not occur and in
addition to CO2 and H2O, carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of
nitrogen (NOx), and hydrocarbons occur in the exhaust as a
result of the combustion reaction
reaction.
• Additives and impurities in the fuel also contribute small
quantities of pollutants such as lead oxides, lead halogenides
and sulfur oxides.
• In CI engines, there is also considerable amount of soot (
particulates) generated.

• Lambda- λ
– Sometimes, the air/fuel ratio is
described in terms of excess
excess-air
air
factor known as Lambda(λ).
– It indicates the deviation of the
actual air/fuel ratio from the
theoretically required ratio:

q t ((14.7 for ppetrol))
– At stoichiometry λ = 1
– For a mixture with excess air (Lean mix): λ >1
– For a mixture with deficient air (rich mix): λ <1

• CO emissions:
– In the rich operating range(λ <1), CO emissions increase almost linearly
with an increasing amount of fuel.
– In the lean range(λ >1), CO emissions are at their lowest.
• HC Emissions
– As with CO emissions, HC emissions increasing amount of fuel. The
minimum HC emissions occur at λ =1.1 …1.2.
– At very lean air/fuel ratios, the HC emissions again increase due to less
than optimal combustion conditions resulting in unburnt fuel.
• NOx emissions
– The effect of the air/fuel ratio on NOx emission is opposite of CO and HC
emission on the rich side of stoichiometry.
stoichiometry As the air content increases,
increases
the oxygen content increases and the result is more NOx. On the lean side
of stoichiometry, NOx emissions decrease with increasing air because the
decreasing density lowers the combustion chamber temperature. The
maximum NOx emission occur at λ =1.05 .. 1.1.

Fuel Consumption
• Federal statutes are currently in effect that require each
automobile manufacturer to achieve a certain average fuel
economy for all their models produced in one model year.
• The electronic engine control system provides the fuel
metering and ignition timing precision required to
minimize the fuel consumption.
• Optimum fuel economy occurs near λ =1.1.
• However, lean engine operation affects exhaust emissions
and NOX is at its maximum at λ =1.1

Driveability
• Another requirement of the electronic engine control unit
to provide acceptable drivability under all operating
conditions.
• That is - no stalling of engine
engine, Hesitations
Hesitations, and other
objectionable roughness should occur during vehicle
driving.
• The driveability is influenced by every operation of the
engine control system.
• A significant contribution is from fuel metering and
ignition timing.
timing
• Other factors influence the driveability are-
– idling speed control
– EGR control
– evaporative emissions control.

There are three methods commonly used for determining the air
charge:
1. Speed density
• Air charge is calculated by the engine ECU based on measurement
of –
– Air inlet temperature
– Intake manifold pressure
– Engine RPM
• The pressure and temperatures are used to determine the air
density and RPM for determining volume flow rate.
• The calculated volume flow rate during suction stroke:
RPM D
ARPM VE
60 2
Where, RPM = engine speed, D= engine displacement and VE=
volumetric efficiency
• In an engine with EGR, the volume flow rate of EGR must be
subtracted from the calculated volume flow rate.

• For a lean mixture( λ >1), the sensor output is approximately 100mV
• For a rich mixture( λ <1), the sensor output is approximately 800mV
g y λ =1,, the output
• At roughly p voltageg switches between the two
voltages.
– This sensor signal is used to modify the base pulse width to
achieve λ =1.
• The lambda sensor has to reach the operational temperature after
which the lambda control loop becomes active
active.
• The ECU monitors the sensor signal to determine when the sensor is
supplying
pp y g usable information.
• An active sensor signal along with the other requirements, such as
engine temperature, must be achieved before the lambda control-loop
will be activated.

manufacturers to develop ways to effectively diagnose
vehicle problems as a result of new electronic
