(4) Injection Timing Control

▶
Injection timing is determined by the conditions below.
1. Coolant temperature
Hot engine - Retarded to reduce Nox
Cold engine - Advanced to optimize the combustion
2. Atmospheric pressure
Advanced according to the altitude
3. Warming up
Advanced during warming up in cold engine
4. Rail pressure
Retarded to prevent knocking when the rail pressure is high
5. EEGR ratio
Advanced to decrease the cylinder temperature when EGR ratio increases
▶
Pilot injection timing control
The pilot injection timing is determined as a function of the engine speed and of the total flow.
The elements are:
- A first correction is made according to the air and coolant temperatures. This correction allows
the pilot injection timing to be adapted to the operating temperature of the engine.
- A second correction is made according to the atmospheric pressure. This correction is used to
adapt the pilot injection timing as a function of the atmospheric pressure and therefore the
altitude.

Main injection timing control
The pulse necessary for the main injection is determined as a function of the engine speed and of
the injected flow.
The elements are:
- A first correction is made according to the air and coolant temperatures.
This correction makes it possible to adapt the timing to the operating temperature of the
engine. When the engine is warm, the timing can be retarded to reduce the combustion
temperature and polluting emissions (NOx). When the engine is cold, the timing advance must
be sufficient to allow the combustion to begin correctly.
- A second correction is made according to the atmospheric pressure.
This correction is used to adapt the timing advance as a function of the atmospheric pressure
and therefore the altitude.
- A third correction is made according to the coolant temperature and the time which has
passed since starting.
This correction allows the injection timing advance to be increased while the engine is warming
up (initial 30 seconds). The purpose of this correction is to reduce the misfiring and instabilities
which are liable to occur after a cold start.
