Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0297217A2] In a method for improving the composition of exhaust gases in Otto engines, in which the output signal of an oxygen measuring probe arranged in the exhaust duct of the Otto engine is fed to a regulator and the output voltage of the regulator forms a control variable for regulating the air/fuel ratio, a further voltage, which is taken from a stored performance characteristic as a function of operating parameters of the Otto engine, is superimposed on the output voltage of the regulator. In this way the performance characteristic can be adapted to changes in the Otto engine whilst the engine is in operation. <IMAGE>
