Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021078998A1] The invention relates to a method for regulating a pressure in a water injection system for an internal combustion engine and a device implementing said method. The method according to the invention comprises the following steps: - Measuring, by sensors controlled by a first electronic control unit, ECU 1, the progression: - of the pressure in the water injection system, Psyst; - of at least one parameter of a water injection pump governing the water injection rate; - Recording, by the first electronic control unit, ECU 1, at least one parameter of the internal combustion engine originating from a second electronic control unit, ECU 2, - Initiating, before opening or closing at least one water injector of the water injection system, a variation of said at least one parameter of the water injection pump so as to maintain the pressure in the water injection system, Psyst, close to a reference pressure value, Pref; - Controlling the opening or closing of at least one water injector of the water injection system on the basis of said at least one parameter of the internal combustion engine.
