Segmented calibration for aftertreatment optimization in internal combustion engine system

Abstract:

An internal combustion engine system includes a control system with a monitoring mechanism producing data of engine operating state within a BMEP/speed envelope, and an electronic control unit structured to output a control command to vary at least one of a fuel delivery property or an air delivery property in the engine based on the data. Outputting the control command switches the engine between or among combustion modes that each satisfy different calibration criteria for optimizing aftertreatment function.
