Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0922846A2] In an internal combustion engine NOx reduction process, the lambda value is reduced at a low mean combustion space temperature and increased at a high mean temperature so that the engine can run near the cut-out limit under any operating conditions. In a NOx reduction process for a mixture-compression internal combustion engine running in lean burn mode with a fuel/air ratio lambda of greater than 1, the lambda value is smoothly regulated by an engine control unit in accordance with the mean engine combustion space temperature such that the lambda value is reduced at a low mean temperature and increased at a high mean temperature so that the engine can be operated near the cut-out limit under any operating conditions.
