4 STROKE ENGINE OPERATION

Intake StrokeCompression StrokeCombustion Exhaust Stroke

Different Engine states require different air/fuel concentration, different ignition advance

MOTIVATION

• Most modern car engines are 4 stroke engines.

To achieve maximum efficiency .

• the engine must be supplied with precise fuel amounts (Air-Fuel Ratio).

• fuel must be burn at the ideal time when the pistons move up and down (Ignition Advance).

• SoC are very cheap

For these – we need fast input and output access, in the ~10us range.

PROJECT GOALS

Design a real time system that reads engine sensors and :

• Determine the ideal spark time

• Determine the ideal air-fuel mixture

• enable easy updating of the ECU via the built in SD-CARD

• Affordable

• Designed for a 4cylinder engine

TEST SCENARIOS

• Accelerate – Increasing RPM. more sparks and increased fuel amount

• Decelerate – Decreasing RPM. less sparks and decreasing fuel amount

• Warming Engine – Increasing COOLANT. decreasing fuel amount.

• Slope – Increasing TPS. increasing fuel amount

• High Load – Increasing MAP. Increasing fuel amount
