Complete free programmable engine ECU for multi fuel applications (09/2018)

For several years now, we have dealt with the parameterization of engine control units (ECUs). Now we made another step with programing an ECU from ZERO, which means filling it first with a complete logic or strategy. After that we parameterized it and tried it successful on a modern diesel engine. In particular, this work highlights the tremendous potential of electronically controlled diesel injection systems in multi-fuel applications. Many OEMs could do so, if there would be enough motivation. For as it is a perfect base for more ambitious projects i.e. hybrid projects or super multifuel projects with liquid (SVO) and gasiform (biomethane) fuels.
