Calibration PhilosophyFundamentals
In order to calibrate anything, you must understandthe physics of the system.
In order to be a good calibration engineer one mustcultivate a sense of being a good engine -ear. Useall your senses to assess.
The system defines the calibration, not the calibrator.The system will tell you what it needs if you aresmart enough to listen.

What Is An I.C. Engine?
The primary function of an internalcombustion engine is to pump air in and outof a combustion chamber where acombustible fuel is mixed at a ratio whichmaximizes power output and minimizes fuelconsumption under all operating conditions.
In a gas engine at full throttle, which is moredifficult to increase (control), air or fuel?

Engine Breathing Volumetric Efficiency (or V.E.) is how we describe the engines
ability to pump air.
Stated as a percentage of the theoretical volume of air thatthe engine can move for one cylinder cycle.
Well tuned engines (such as race engines) can exceed thetheoretical 100% limit because of boosting or tuning effects(aftercharging).
7/30/2019 Calibration 101 by Kim Lyon
17/103
Momentum Effects Pressure loss influences dictate that duct diameter be as large
as possible for minimum friction
Increasing charge momentum enhances cylinder filling byextending induction process past unsteady direct energytransfer of induction stroke
Decreasing duct diameter increases available kinetic energyfor a given mass flux
Therefore duct diameter is a trade-off between velocity andwall friction of passing charge
7/30/2019 Calibration 101 by Kim Lyon
18/103
Pressure Wave Effects Induction process and exhaust blowdown both cause pressure
pulsations
Abrupt changes of increased cross-section in the path of a
pressure wave will reflect a wave of opposite magnitude backdown the path of the wave
Closed-ended ducts reflect pressure waves directly, thereforea wave will echo with same amplitude
7/30/2019 Calibration 101 by Kim Lyon
19/103
Pressure Wave Effects cont Friction decreases energy of pressure waves, therefore the 1 st
order reflection is the strongest but up to 5 th order havebeen utilized to good effect in high speed engines (thus activerunners in F1)
Plenums also resonate and through superposition increasethe amplitude of pressure waves in runners small impactrelative to runner geometry

Aerodynamics Losses due to poor aerodynamics can be equal in magnitude
to the gains from pressure wave tuning
Often the dominant factory in poorly performing OEcomponents
If properly designed, flow of a single-entry intake manifoldcan approach 98% of an ideal entrance on a cylinder head(steady state on a flow bench).
7/30/2019 Calibration 101 by Kim Lyon
22/103
Aerodynamics cont Flow Separation
Literally same phenomenon as stall in wing elements pressure in free stream insufficient to push flow alongwall of short side radius
Recirculation pushes flow away from wall, therebyreducing effective cross-section so- called venacontracta
Simple guidelines can prevent flow separation in ducts studies performed by NACA in the 1930s empiricallyestablished the best duct configurations

Induction Restriction Air cleaner and intake manifolds provide some resistance to
incoming charge
Power loss related to restriction almost directly a function of
ratio between manifold pressure (plenum pressure upstreamof runners) and atmospheric

Valve Events
Valve events define how an engine breathes all thetime, and so are an important aspect of low load aswell as high load performance
Valve events also effectively define compression &expansion ratio, as compression will not begin untilthe piston-cylinder mechanism is sealed same withexpansion. VVT can change the engines effectivecompression ratio as opposed to the geometriccompression ratio.

Valve Events for Power Maximize Trapping Efficiency
Intake closing that is best compromise between compressionstroke back flow and induction momentum (retard with increasingengine speed)
Early intake closing usefulness limited at low engine speed due toknock limit
Early intake opening will impart some exhaust blowdown orpressure wave tuning momentum to intake charge
Maximize Thermal Efficiency Earliest intake closing to maximize compression ratio for best burn
rate (optimum is instantaneous after TDC) Latest exhaust opening to maximize expansion ratio for best use
of heat energy and lowest EGT (least thermal protectionenrichment beyond LBT)
7/30/2019 Calibration 101 by Kim Lyon
28/103
Valve Events for Power
Minimize Flow Loss Achieve maximum valve lift (max flow usually at L/D >
0.25-0.3) as long as possible (square lift curves areoptimum for poppet valves)
Minimize Exhaust Pumping Work Earliest exhaust opening that blows down cylinder
pressure to backpressure levels before exhaust stroke
(advance with increasing engine speed) Earliest exhaust closing that avoids recompression
spike (retard with increasing engine speed )

Engine Performance Optimization Criteria Typically engine program goals are a peak
torque value and a peak power value Assuming different sets of engine hardware
could meet the program goals, only one setof hardware will perform the best in avehicle
The best performing vehicle will have thehighest average power delivered to thewheels during an acceleration event, whichis dependent on transmission capability

Intake Tuningfor WOT Performance
Intake manifolds have ducts (runners) thattune at frequencies corresponding to enginespeed, like an organ pipe
Longer runners tune at lower frequencies Shorter runners tune at higher frequencies
Tuning increases local pressure at intake valvethereby increasing flow rate
Duct diameter is a trade-off between velocityand wall friction of passing charge
Exhaust Tuning
7/30/2019 Calibration 101 by Kim Lyon

Exhaust Tuningfor WOT Performance
Exhaust manifolds tune just as intakemanifolds do, but since no fresh charge isbeing introduced as a result not as much
impact on volumetric efficiency (~8%maximum for headers)
Catalyst performance usually limits production

Powertrain Closing Remarks Powertrain is compromise
Four-stroke engines are volumetric flow rate devices the only route to more power is increased enginespeed, more valve area or increased charge density
More speed, charge density or valve area areexpensive or difficult to develop thereforeminimizing losses is the most efficient path withinexisting engine architectures
Highest average power during a vehicle acceleration isfastest peak power values dont win races

Speed-Density Fuel and spark maps are based on MAP density of
charge is a strong function of pressure, corrected byair temp and coolant temp therefore air flow issimple to calculate
Less time-intensive than Alpha-N, once calibrated is good most common type of control
Needs less mapping can do WOT line and mid-map thencurve-fit air flow (spark needs a little more in-depth foroptimal control)
7/30/2019 Calibration 101 by Kim Lyon
81/103
MAF Fuel and spark maps are based on MAF airflow
measured directly MAF sensor isnt the most robust device
Pressure pulses confuse signal, each application has to bemapped with secondary damped MAF sensor (usually a 55 gallondrum inline)
Least noisy signal is usually at air cleaner so separate transportdelay controls need to be calibrated for transients and leaks needto be absolutely eliminated
Boosted applications usually add a MAP as well

Sensors, cont Knock Sensor
A piezoelectric load cell that measures structural vibration. Knock is apressure wave that travels at local sonic velocity and rings at afrequency that is a function of bore diameter (typically between 14-18kHz). When the structure of the engine (typically the block) is hit withthis pressure wave it rings as well, but at a frequency that is a function of the structure (ie materials and geometry). A FFT analysis of differentmounting positions (nodes not anti-nodes) is necessary to determine thecenter frequency to listen for knock (which is measured via in -cylinderpressure measurements) without picking up other structure-borne
noise.

Compares ambient air to exhaustoxygen content (partial pressure of oxygen). Sensor output isessentially binary (only indicates

(UEGO) Compares partial pressure of
oxygen (lean) and partial pressure
of HmCn, H2 & CO (rich) withambient. Gives output from ~0.6to 2 Lamda. Turns vehicle into arolling dyno.

Knock Causes of Knock
Knock = f(Time,Temperature,Pressure,Octane) Time Higher engine speeds or faster burn rates reduce knock tendency.
Burn rate can come from multiple spark sources, more compactcombustion chambers or increased turbulence
Temperature Reduced combustion temperatures reduce knock throughreduced charge temperatures (cooler incoming charge or reducedresidual burned gases), increased evaporative cooling from richer F/Amixtures and increased combustion chamber cooling
Pressure Lower cylinder pressures reduce knock tendency throughlower compression ratio or MAP pressure
Octane Different fuel types have higher or lower autoignitiontendencies. Octane value is directly related to knocking tendency

Knock continued Effects of Knock
Disrupts stagnant gases that form boundary layer at edge of combustion chamber, increasing heat transfer to componentsand raising mean combustion chamber temp that can lead to
pre-ignition Scours oil film off cylinder wall, leading to dry friction andincreased wear of piston rings
Shockwave can induce vibratory loads into piston pin, pistonpin bore and top land - reducing oil film thickness andaccelerating wear
Shockwave can be strong enough to stress components tofailure

Pre-Ignition
Effects of Pre-Ignition Increases peak cylinder pressure by beginning heat release
too soon Increased cylinder pressure also increases heat load to
combustion chamber components, sustaining the pre-ignition(leading to run -away pre- ignition)
Increases loads on piston crown and piston pin Sustained pre-ignition will typically put a hole in the center of
the piston crown

Burn Rate Burn Rate = f(Spark, Dilution Rate/FA Ratio, Chamber Volume Distribution,Engine Speed/Mixture Motion/Turbulent Intensity)
Spark Closer to MBT the faster the burn with trace knock the fastest
Dilution Rate/FA Ratio Least dilution (exhaust residual or anything unburnable) fastest
FA Ratio best rate around LBT Chamber Volume Distribution
Smallest chamber with shortest flame path best (multiple ignition sources shorten flamepath)
Engine Speed/Mixture Motion/Turbulent Intensity Crank angle time for complete burn nearly constant with increasing engine speed
indicating other factors speeding burn rate Mixture motion-contributed angular momentum conserved as cylinder volume decreases
during compression stroke, eventually breaking down into vortices around TDC increasingkinetic energy in charge
Turbulent Intensity a measure of total kinetic energy available to move flame front fasterthan laminar flame speed. More Turbulent Intensity equals faster burn.

Transient F eling
7/30/2019 Calibration 101 by Kim Lyon
97/103
Transient Fueling
Liquid fuel does not burn, only fuel vapour Heat from somewhere must be used to make vapour which is why
up to 500% more fuel must be used on a cold start to providesufficient vapour for engine to run (relationship betweentemperature and partial pressure of fuel fractions)
Most of heat during fully warm operation comes from back side of intake valve and port walls Because of geometry a large portion of fuel wets wall this film travels at
some fraction of free stream. Therefore some fuel from every pulse goesinto engine and some onto port wall.
On a fast acceleration, additional fuel must be added to offset the slowlymoving wall film. Opposite true on decels.
If injector is positioned far upstream volumetric efficiency increases due fuelheat of vapourization cooling incoming charge, but a large amount of wall iswetted leading to poor transient fuel control

Thermal Enrichment
Durability Combustion temperatures can reach 4000 deg K and dropto 1800 deg K before Exhaust Valve Opening (EVO)
Materials must operate at sufficiently low temperature tomaintain strength, so Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT)
limits must be adhered to for sufficient durability Usually 950 deg C runner temperature is acceptable for adeveloped package, as low as 800 deg C for undevelopedcomponents may be necessary
Primary path for cooling is additional fuel beyond LBT, as
heat of vapourization cools the charge before ignition(pressure-charged engines primarily)
Drivability

Drivability
Throttle Response Drivers expect some repeatability and resolution
of thrust versus pedal position some degree of spark mapping (retard) and pedal to throttle camcan help a drivers confidence
Usually least developed and of most importance istip-in (throttle closed to small opening) where
torque can come in as a step change
Calibration Summary
7/30/2019 Calibration 101 by Kim Lyon
101/103
Calibration Summary
Calibration is compromise Fueling level is a compromise between engine protection
and good V.E. Best spark advance for drivability may be too close to the
knock limit. Focus on calibration of primary functions first (fuel and
spark) Need to understand to understand why a dyno engine
calibration will be different than one derived from avehicle. Can the dyno replicate vehicle transients fully?
