Engine Temperature Estimation

Technology

Purpose

Development of a virtual sensor (DVS®) in order to provide nonlinear estimation for oil temperature of the Multi Air actuator internal combustion engine. The real-time measurements required are engine rpm and engine water temperature.

Value

Robust estimation of oil temperature is obtained. The DVS can be used for watchdogging and On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) solutions. It can also substitute expensive and frail physical sensors.
