Synopsis

The BOSCH handbook series on different automotive technologies has become one of the most definitive sets of reference books that automotive engineers have at their disposal.

Different topics are covered in a concise but descriptive way backed up by diagrams, graphs and tables enabling the reader to comprehend the subject matter fully. This book discusses the basics relating to the method of operation of gasoline–engine control systems. The descriptions of cylinder–charge control systems, fuel–injection systems (intake manifold and gasoline direct injection), and ignition systems provide a comprehensive, firsthand overview of the control mechanisms indispensable for operating a modern gasoline engine. The practical implementation of engine management and control is described by the examples of various Motronic variants, and the control and regulation functions integrated in this particular management systems. The book concludes with a chapter describing how a Motronic system is developed.

About this title

Review

“...provides a comprehensive, first hand overview of control mechanisms.” (Motor Industry Magazine, March 2007)

From the Back Cover

A brief retrospective of the early years of the history of the automobile is followed by a description of the principles behind the operation, management and control of a gasoline (spark–ignition) engine. Descriptions of the cylinder–charge control, fuel–injection, ignition, and catalytic emission–control systems provide a comprehensive overview of the control mechanisms which are essential to the operation of a modern gasoline engine. The texts dealing with the Motronic engine–management system illustrate how this is put into practice. Particular emphasis is placed here on the diagnostic functions, which, on account of the ever more stringent requirements of emission–control legislation, make up an increasing proportion of the Motronic system. Contents–Central themes Basics of the gasoline engine–Fuels–Cylinder–charge control systems–Fuel supply–Manifold fuel injection–Gasoline direct injection–Operation on natural gas–Inductive ignition system–Ignition coils–Spark plugs–Motronic systems–Sensors–Electronic control unit(ECU)–Exhaust emissions–Catalytic emission control–Emission–control legislation–Exhaust–gas measuring techniques–Diagnosis–ECU development The target groups Motor–vehicle technicians in education and vocational training Master mechanics and technicians in garage–workshops Teachers and lecturers in vocational schools Students at universities and technical colleges and all those interested in automotive engineering About the Bosch Group Bosch is the world′s largest independent supplier of parts and equipment for motor Vehicles. Innovations by Bosch have shaped the development of the automobile. Bosch′s dominant technological role in many fields is demonstrated by the fact that it has the most patent applications in automotive engineering in Germany, to the European Patent Office and in the USA.
