In order to minimize emissions the Air-Fuel Ratio (AFR) of a spark-ignited internal combustion engine needs to be maintained at stoichiometric. Whenever the air and fuel enter the engine’s cylinder the AFR cannot be changed; therefore the problem of AFR control is a problem of intake manifold control. Although the problem of AFR control (and hence of intake manifold modelling) appears to be solved for a fully warmed-up engine the problem of AFR control during the warm-up period remains. This paper addresses this problem by using a novel AFR control strategy, which can be based on a given intake manifold model, to test the AFR control of a partially warmed-up engine. The results of engine tests demonstrate that during the warm-up period tight AFR control is not possible using any of the intake manifold models developed for a fully warmed-up engine. This can only be the result of unmodeled dynamics in the intake manifold and it is therefore concluded that further work in the area of manifold modelling is required. Possible areas of model improvement are indicated.

The results of experimental study of the exhaust process of the piston internal combustion engine are presented in the article. A method for improving the cleaning of the cylinder from the exhaust gas on the basis of the effect the ejection is proposed in the paper. Dependences of change of the instantaneous gas velocity on the angle of rotation of the crankshaft in the exhaust tract of a different configuration (with ejector and without it) are listed in the article.
