Compression ratio estimation based on cylinder pressure data
Four methods for compression ratio estimation of an engine from cylinder pressure
traces are described and evaluated for both motored and fired
cycles.
The first three methods rely upon a model of
polytropic compression for the cylinder pressure, and it is shown that they give a good estimate of
the compression ratio for simulated cycles at low compression ratios.
For high compression ratios, this simple
model lack the information about heat transfer and the model error causes the estimates to become biased. Therefore a fourth method is introduced where heat transfer and crevice effects are modeled, together with a
commonly used heat release model for firing cycles. This method is able to estimate the compression ratio more
accurately at low as well as high compression ratios. Keywords: Polytropic pressure model, nonlinear least squares, variable projection, compression ratio estimation, weighted least squares, parameter estimation, SI engine, variable compression.
