A hybrid electrical bus employs both a turbo diesel engine and an electric motor to drive the vehicle in different speed-torque scenarios. The cooling system for such a vehicle is particularly power costing because it needs to dissipate heat from not only the engine, but also the intercooler and the motor. An electronic control unit (ECU) has been designed with a single chip computer, temperature sensors, DC motor drive circuit, and optimized control algorithm to manage the speeds of several fans for efficient cooling using a nonlinear fan speed adjustment strategy. Experiments suggested that the continuous operating performance of the ECU is robust and capable of saving 15% of the total electricity comparing with ordinary fan speed control method. 1.

Performance Package Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board by Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code; and Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Sections 39515 and 39516 of the Health and Safety Code and Executive Order G-45-9; IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of the 5.7L H.O. Performance Package manufactured by GM Motorsports of 30007 Van Dyke Ave. Warren, Michigan 48090-9065, has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of the applicable vehicle pollution control system and, therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for 1982-87 Camaros/Firebirds originally equipped with a 5.0 or 5.7L engine. The 5.7L H.O. Performance Package includes the following main components: ZZ4 5.7L engine (part no. 24502609) which includes a new camshaft, pistons, cylinder heads, intake and exhaust manifolds, an electronic control unit, new dual catalyst exhaust system, and transmission shift kit. The Performance Package does not utilize the use of an EGR valve or the carburetor heat stove. Exhibit A list additional parts included with the kit. This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for this kit will not recommend tuning the vehicles to specifications different from those of GM Motorsports. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the devices, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of a vehicle's pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order.

  • Electronic Diesel Control (Edc)
    Module -2 ELECTRONIC DIESEL CONTROL (EDC) Electronic control of a diesel engine allows fuel-injection parameters to be varied precisely for different conditions. This is the only means by which a modern diesel engine is able to satisfy the many demands placed upon it. The EDC (Electronic Diesel Control) system is subdivided into three areas, “Sensors and desired-value generators”, “Control unit”, and “Actuators”. System overview: Requirements Present-day development in the field of diesel technology is focused on lowering fuel consumption and exhaust-gas emissions (NOx, CO, HC, particulate), while increasing engine performance and torque. In recent years this has led to an increase in the popularity of the direct-injection (DI) diesel engine, which uses much higher fuel-injection pressures than indirect-injection (IDI) engines with whirl or pre chamber systems. Due to the more efficient mixture formation and the absence of flow-related losses between the whirl chamber/pre chamber and the main combustion chamber, the fuel consumption of direct-injection engines is 10...20% lower than that achieved by indirect-injection designs. In addition, diesel engine development has been influenced by the high levels of comfort and convenience demanded in modern cars. Noise levels, too, are subject to more and more stringent requirements. Demand of fuel-injection and engine-management systems • High fuel-injection pressures • Pre-injection and, where applicable, secondary injection • Variation of injected fuel quantity, charge air pressure, and start of injection to suit operating conditions • Temperature-dependent excess-fuel quantity for starting • Control of idle speed independent of engine load • Controlled exhaust-gas recirculation (cars) • Cruise control • Tight tolerances for injection duration and injected fuel quantity, and maintenance of high precision over the service life of the system (long- term performance) Operating concept The injected fuel quantity is actually determined by a number of different influencing variables.
