Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1002942A2] The method involves several circuits (KF1-3) determining the choke flap position from the air mass flow and the difference pressure across the choke flap using a choke flap model. The model is defined by a sub-critical air flow through the choke flap and contains at least two characteristic fields. The first characteristic field describes at least two relationships between the choke flap angle and air mass at different pressure differences and the second the non-linear transition between the characteristic lines in the first field.
