Mixture Preparation
An engine should operate satisfactorily under all operating conditions and ensure the energy it receives is utilized to a maximum. The fuel-air mixture must be optimally prepared for this purpose. Only in this way can effective combustion take place and provide the corresponding engine power output. Added to this, effective combustion also ensures that pollutant emissions are kept within acceptable limits.
Adaptation makes it possible for the engine control unit to learn certain values from components and equipment variants thus making it possible to compensate for certain component tolerances. A fault is indicated if adaptation exceeds certain limits.
