Lambda Calculations

In order to calculate the value of Lambda from measurements of combustion by products in the exhaust of a gasoline
engine, a mathematical model is necessary. This model must include consideration for the chemical make-up of the
fuel being burned and many other factors. The model is complicated and the derivation of the equation, beyond the
scope of this manual. We will merely site the equation used by the system and the assumptions that were used in
implementing it. The equation used in the system is the one derived from a model created by Prof. Brettschneider. It
is commonly referred to in the industry as Brettschneider’s
Equation. It is shown below.
= A*[B-C]
where:
A =
21
21 + 50ux{(CO/CO2)/(K+[CO/CO2])}
In the equation for
A
the term “x” is the mass ratio of water in air even at a relative humidity of 100% this term is very
small. As “x” becomes small
A
approaches 1.
A
is assumed to be 1 in the system’s calculations.
B =
{CO2+[CO/2]+[NOx/2]+O2} + {[Hcv/4]*[K/(K+{CO/CO2})]-[Ocv/2]}*[CO+CO2]
{1+[Hcv/4]-[Ocv/2]}{CO+CO2+HC}
In the equation for B
Hcv is the Hydrogen to Carbon Ratio of the fuel. The default value for Hcv is 1.8
Ocv is the Oxygen to Carbon Ratio of the fuel. The default value for Ocv is 0 (assume no oxygenated fuels)
K = 3.5 = the water gas constant of combustion
C =
{Wcv/2} {[CO/CO2]/(K+[CO/CO2])} {CO+CO2+HC}
{1+[Hcv/4]-[Ocv/2]} {CO+CO2+HC}
In the equation for C Wcv is the Water Fraction of the fuel.
Because A = 1, the equation for Lambda becomes:
= B-C
Note: Hcv and Ocv affect how the gasoline composition changes the calculation of Lambda.
Normal gasoline is only hydrogen and carbon and therefore the default values that the factory
puts in for Hcv is 1.8 and for Ocv is 0. However when oxygenates are added to the fuel (as
required by law in some locations) these parameters should be changed. The operator can do
this in STANDBY mode.
