USP34 <645> 水的电导率(中英文)<645> WATER CONDUCTIVITY 水的电导率Electrical conductivity in water is a measure of the ion-facilitated electron flow through it. Water molecules dissociate into ions as a function of pH and temperature and result in a very predictable conductivity.水的电导能力是对水中离子化电子的一种测量。
离解为离子的水分子是pH值、温度的函数,它导致可预期的电导率。
Some gases, most notably carbon dioxide, readily dissolve in water and interact to form ions, which predictably affect conductivity as well as pH. For the purpose of this discussion, these ions and their resulting conductivity can be considered intrinsic to the water.一些气体,特别是二氧化碳,容易溶于水中并产生反应形成离子,对电导率产生影响。
在本讨论中,这些离子和其对电导率的影响结果可以认为是水的内在本质。
Water conductivity is also affected by the presence of extraneous ions. The extraneous ions used in modeling the conductivity specifications described below are the chloride and sodium ions. The conductivity of the ubiquitous chloride ion (at the theoretical endpoint concentration of 0.47 ppm when it was a required attribute test in USPXXII and earlier revisions) and the ammonium ion (at the limit of 0.3 ppm) represent a major portion of the allowed water impurity level. A balancing quantity of cations, suchas sodium ions, is included in this allowed impurity level to maintain electroneutrality. Extraneous ions such as these may have significant impact on the water's chemical purity and suitability for use in pharmaceutical applications. The procedure in the section Bulk Water is specified for measuring the conductivity of waters such as Purified Water, Water for Injection, Water for Hemodialysis, and the condensate of Pure Steam.

Title:CALIBRATING METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC COMPASS Electronic compass is an electronic compass by measuring the Earth's magnetic field to achieve directional navigation device, it is an important navigational tool that can provide real-time data objects heading and attitude, and has a small size, low cost, fast response , no accumulated error, etc., are widely used in mobile robots, vehicles, aircraft and other orientation subsystem; However, due to the electronic compass is based on magnetic principles calculations magnetic bearings, their work environment, in addition to other external magnetic field Earth's magnetic field will inevitably affect the output of the electronic compass, resulting in errors affect measurement accuracy. Therefore, how to reduce outside interference precision of its output is engineering applications must be addressed.Electronic compass the existing literature has proposed several possible compass error compensation method. Yuen Chee Wing paper, "three-axis magnetic heading sensors full attitude error compensation 'proposed compass error into quadrature error, zero and sensitivity errors were compensated, high compensation accuracy of the method, but in the compensation process requires non-magnetic turntable , but also the computer automatically when the measured rotation compass X and Y-axis sensor output maximum, minimum, the calibration process is complex and requires high equipment; HIGHW AY AND TRANSPORTA TION Wang Jiaxin paper "Development of high-precision electronic compass" and Shao Tingting, ROCKETS paper "electronic compass tilt and Luo slip compensation algorithm research," the least square method to compensate for the electronic compass, the method requires Compass 0 ° ~ 360 ° rotation average sampling, operation is relatively cumbersome and The amount of data samples of different sizes will have a greater impact fitting result, the amount of data is too small, the compensation effect is not good, too much data can cause performance degradation fitting; Yangxin Yong, Huang Shengguo paper "magnetic heading measurement system Error Correction Method "and Qi Zhang, Liang-shui Lei, Jiang Fan, Song Liu's paper" Autocalibration of a magnetic compasswithout heading reference "error ellipse hypothesis is proposed based on the model compensation method, because only a hypothetical model ellipse based on the experimental experience suggested that the lack of theoretical deduction, the compensation effect is not very satisfactory; Chao Min, Jiang Oriental, Wen rainbow paper, "magnetic compass error analysis and calibration" using an analytical method to establish the direction of the magnetic measurement system is more accuratemodels, and electronic compass compensation in the horizontal conditions, but the compensation process to identify more parameters (up 9), and the results show the compensation effect is similar to oval hypothetical model; Hao Zhenhai, Huang Shengguo paper, "based on a combination of differential magnetic compass heading system." proposed a "differential magnetic compass" (DMC, Differential Magnetic Compasses) design program, which uses two identical magnetic compass to determine whether the system is a combination of low-frequency interference occurs, if the system glitches did not happen, then the use of magnetic compass navigation, low-frequency interference will occur if the system switches to the gyroscope system navigation. The program does not substantially improve the magnetic compass measurement accuracy, and the navigation program consists of a plurality of magnetic compass and gyroscope structure, will lead to greatly increase the cost; Lu Wang, Zhao Zhong and other paper "Magnetic Compass Error Analysis and Compensation" using BP neural network error model, and use LM learning algorithm to train the network, the method need not 0 ° ~ 360 ° within the average sampling, with a neural network can be approximated function with arbitrary precision characteristics, with high compensation accuracy, but the BP neural network convergence is slow, the right to set initial values need to be very careful, and easy to fall into local minimum.In summary, the current electronic compass calibration methods are the main method of least squares, oval assumption France, BP neural network method, etc. These methods are more cumbersome calibration procedure or the existence of the necessary instruments for demanding calibration or calibration issues such as lack of precision.It is an electronic compass by measuring the Earth's magnetic field to achieve directional navigation device, it is an important navigational tool that can provide real-time data objects heading and attitude, and has a small size, low cost, fast response , no accumulated error, etc., are widely used in mobile robots, vehicles, aircraft and other orientation subsystem; However, due to the electronic compass is based on magnetic principles calculations magnetic bearings, their work environment, in addition to other external magnetic field Earth's magnetic field will inevitably affect the output of the electronic compass, resulting in errors affect measurement accuracy. Therefore, how to reduce outside interference precision of its output is engineering applications must be addressed.In order to simplify the calibration procedure, reducing the requirements for the necessaryequipment and to improve calibration accuracy, the present invention designed an electronic compass calibration method, the calibration method based on adaptive differential evolution method and Fourier neural network (Adaptive Differential Evolution and Fourier Neural Network, ADE-FNN), by means of Fourier neural network modeling of the electronic compass error, the neural network using orthogonal Fourier series excitation function as a network, and uses adaptive differential evolution algorithm to train the network weights, get more precise The error model to compensate for the measured values of the compass, so as to improve the precision of the compass.Differential evolution method based on adaptive neural networks and Fourier electronic compass calibration methods, including access to training samples, the use of Fourier neural network (FNN) build error compensation model and the use of adaptive differential evolution algorithm (ADE) to train the neural network weight value of three parts, to achieve the specific steps are as follows:Step one, get training samples;Step two, identified neural network structure;Step three, to create an electronic compass error model and choose the training targets;Step four: According to the training sample using an improved adaptive differential evolution algorithm for training the neural network;Step Five, will optimize the neural network weights obtained values into the neural network to obtain a more accurate compensation models;Step Six, the electronic compass output measurement values into compensate for neural network input and output compensation value.The invention took into account the impact of measurement precision electronic compass, proposes a differential evolution method based on adaptive neural networks and Fourier concentration calibration method to compensate, on the one hand to simplify the calibration process, that is just the turntable rotate (no uniform rotation) electronic compass one week for training samples and the corresponding true value; hand with better results, ie, more precisely offset outside interference, improve measurement accuracy.The compensation method with neural network structure is simple, easy to implement, and can approximate nonlinear functions with arbitrary precision, and has good generalizationcapability advantages.Orthogonal Fourier function as the excitation function neural network, the nonlinear optimization problem into a linear optimization problem, which greatly improve the convergence speed, avoid falling into local minimum.Using adaptive differential evolution algorithm to train the neural network, relying on a system to avoid the initial value problem of a priori knowledge is difficult to choose; while the improved differential evolution algorithm in the initial stages of a strong global search ability, as much as possible to find the global optimum, but at a later stage there is a strong local search ability to improve convergence rate and solution accuracy; therefore the algorithm has strong global search ability, can effectively prevent premature convergence, and algorithms good stability.How Does a Digital Compass Work?An electronic compass such as the Wayfinder uses a patented magnetic sensor technology that was first developed by PNI, Inc. for the U.S. military. This technology is called " magneto-inductive" and is the largest advancement in compass technology since the fulxgate was invented 60 years ago. The magneto-inductive technology is able to electronically sense the difference in the earth's magnetic field from a disturbance caused by external elements such as ferro-magnetic materials and the magnetic field generated by automobile electrical systems. WayFinder digital compass has an embedded micro controller that subtracts the automobile magnetic field (the distortion) from the stronger earth magnetic fields resulting in a highly accurate compass reading.Compass InstallationThe performance of a compass will greatly depend on its installation location. A compass relies on the earth’s magnetic field to provide heading. Any distortions of earth magnetic field by other sources such as a car massive iron components should be compensated for in order to determine an accurate heading. Sources of magnetic fields in any automobile include permanent magnets mostly in its audio speakers, motors, electric currents flowing in its wiring—either dc or ac, and ferro-magnetic metals such as steel or iron. The influence of these sources of interference on an electronic compass accuracy can be greatly reduced by placing the compass far away from them. Some of the field effects can be compensated by way of calibrating the compass for a definedlocation in terms of magnetic interference. However, it is not always possible to compensate for time varying magnetic fields; for example, disturbances generated by the motion of magnetic metals, or unpredictable electrical current in a nearby power lines. Magnetic shielding can be used for large field disturbances from motors or audio speakers. The best way to reduce disturbances is distance. Also, never enclose the compass in a magnetically shielded metallic housing. Compass Tilt ErrorsHeading errors due to a tilt depend somewhat on geographic location. At the equator, tilt errors are less critical since the earth's field is strictly in the horizontal plane. This provides larger X and Y readings and little of the Z component correction near the magnetic poles, tilt errors are extremely important—since there is less X,Y field and more of the Z component. Tilt errors are also dependent on the heading.Magnetic Field DistortionsNearby Ferrous materials is another consideration for heading inaccuracy. Since heading is based on the direction of the earth's horizontal field a digital compass must be able to measure this field with lesser influence from other nearby magnetic sources or disturbances.The amount of disturbance depends on the material content of the platform and connectors as well as ferrous objects moving nearby. When a ferrous object is placed in a uniform magnetic field it will exert an influence. This object could be a steel bolt or bracket near the compass or an iron door latch close to the compass. The net result is a characteristic distortion, or anomaly to the earth’s magnetic field that is unique to the shape of the object.Magnetic distortions can be categorized as two types—hard iron and soft iron effects. Hard iron distortions arise from permanent magnets and magnetized iron or steel on the compass platform. These distortions will remain constant and in a fixed location relative to the compass for all heading orientations. Hard iron effects add a constant magnitude field component along each axes of the sensor output.To compensate for hard iron distortion is usually done by rotating the compass and platform (your car) in a circle and measure enough points on the circle to determine this offset. Once found, the (X,Y) offset can be stored in memory and subtracted from every reading. The net result will be to eliminate the hard iron disturbance from the heading calculation.The soft iron distortion arises from the interaction of the earth’s magnetic field and anymagnetically soft material surrounding the compass. Like the hard iron materials, the soft metals also distort the earth’s magnetic field lines. The difference is the amount of distortion from the soft iron depends on the compass orientation.What Is True North?It is well known that the earth's magnetic poles and its axis of rotation are not at the same geographical location. They are about 11.5°rotation from each other. This creates a difference between the true north, or grid north, and the magnetic north, or direction a magnetic compass will point. Simply it is the angular difference between the magnetic and true north expressed as an Easterly or Westerly variation. This difference is defined as the variation angle and is dependent on the compass short duration, making a magnetic compass a useful navigation tool.Compass CalibrationEach calibration method is associated with a specified physical movement of the compass platform in order to sample the magnetic space surrounding the compass. The Hard and Soft iron distortions will vary from location to location within the same platform. The compass has to be mounted permanently to its platform to get a valid calibration.A particular calibration is only valid for that location of the compass. If the compass is re-oriented in the same location, then a new calibration is required. It is possible to use a compass without any calibration if the need is only for repeatability and not accuracy.题目:校准电子罗盘的方法电子罗盘是一种通过测量地球磁场来实现定向导航功能的装置,它是一种重要的导航工具,能实时提供物体的航向和姿态数据,且具有体积小、成本低、响应速度快、无累积误差等特点,被广泛应用于移动机器人、车辆、飞行器等的定向子系统中;然而,由于电子罗盘是根据地磁原理计算磁方向角,其工作环境中除地球磁场的其他外界磁场不可避免的会对电子罗盘的输出造成影响,从而产生误差影响测量精度。

Cold Start CalibrationDiscussionCold starting refers to the act of starting any vehicle once it has remained in an“un-started” state long enough to have its coolant temperature reach that of itsambient surroundings. It is a very intricate and interactive process of combiningthe proper amounts of Fuel, Air, and Spark to create quick stable combustion and transition the vehicle into its “run” state. There really is no “cut and dry”procedure to follow when doing cold start calibration. It is far more of a test,study the data, make changes / re-test, re-study, make new changes type ofprocess. Due to the close interaction of the fuel, air, and spark, it is quite common to end up re-adjusting one portion of the calibration based on changes you madeto one of the other sections. The key is to have good documentation and areasonable idea of what to expect … both of which I hope to provide you with inthis Cal Guide.I will be breaking the procedure up into the three obvious sections of open loopcrank fuel, startup airflow, and crank/crank-to-run spark. The order in which wecover these is not all that important (although I will cover them in the order thatthe initial calibration should be conducted). What is important is that a workingknowledge of how each section functions with respect to cold starts is acquired(and to some extent, retained). Detailed charts of how each area operates duringthe crank, crank-to-run, and initial run engine states will be thoroughly discussed and they will become your most useful cold start calibration tools. You will alsobe expected to already have a good working knowledge of the MDS vehicleinstrumentation and it’s associated datalogging capability.ContentsI will begin with open loop fueling, since it is the most complicated and NEEDSto be done first in order to get the vehicle to start. We will cover all aspects ofcold start calibration as follows:I.Cold Start Fueling Calibration-Discussion-Calibration Parameters-Datalogger Parameters-General Calibration Guidelines-Helpful HintsII.Startup Airflow Calibration-Discussion-Calibration Parameters (and Values)-Recommended Datalogger Parameters-General Calibration GuidelinesIII.Crank / Crank-to-run Spark Calibration -Discussion-Calibration Parameters (and Values)-Recommended Datalogger Parameters-General Calibration GuidelinesCold Start Fueling CalibrationDiscussionPrime, crank, crank-to-run transition, and initial run fueling based on calibratable lookup tables (not an O2 sensors feedback) all make up what is known as “Open Loop Fueling”, or in our case, “Cold Start Fueling”. Although it would be nice to say that there is some sort of formula for calibrating the open loop portion of the fueling algorithm, it is safe to say that it is far more of an art than a science. What I will attempt to do in the following calibration guideline is give the calibrator an overview of the available calibration parameters (see figure 1), and some general rules of thumb on how to go about calibrating them appropriately. Note: Recommended initial calibration values will not be given due to the variation in fueling requirements between applications. Calibration starting points will be discussed in the Calibration Guidelines section.Prime Pulse Width Calibration ParametersKtFUEL_t_PrimePulseWidthThis is the actual amount of prime fuel delivered to the engine once the criteria to begin prime has been met. It is a coolant-based table in milliseconds.KeFUEL_PumpPrimeOptThis option bit determines whether the prime pulse is enabled at key-on (set to 0), or first valid tooth (set to 1).KtFUEL_t_PrimePulseDelayFirstThis is the delay time (in seconds) that the prime pulse waits to enable following the first valid crank tooth (if KeFUEL_PumpPrimeOpt is set to 1). This is also a coolant-based table.KtFUEL_t_PrimePulseRunThrshThis run threshold determines the amount of run-time necessary in order to re-prime the engine in the event of a stall or a normal power-down condition. If this time threshold has not been exceeded, and the engine has stopped running, the prime pulse will not be allowed to re-inject. This table, like the others in this section, is coolant-based.Air/Fuel Calibration ParametersKtFUEL_AFR_CrankThis is the base crank air fuel ratio and is a function of coolant.KfFUEL_AFR_CrankInitDeltaThis is the offset that determines the actual commanded air fuel ratio during crank. It is subtracted from KtFUEL_AFR_Crank to allow the crank fuel to start at a richer point and decay out to a leaner condition over time. This is a table based on coolant.KcFUEL_CrankAF_DecayInitThis is the number of cylinder events that needs to occur before the initial crank air/fuel decay can begin. Crank air/fuel will equal the initial starting ratio of (KtFUEL_AFR_Crank) – (KfFUEL_AFR_CrankInitDelta) for this many refs. This is a single cal value.KfFUEL_CrankAF_DecayMultThis multiplier actually determines the “step size” of each decay interval. KfFUEL_AFR_CrankInitDelta is multiplied by this value, and the resulting value is the NEW KfFUEL_AFR_CrankInitDelta. In other words, the larger KfFUEL_CrankAF_DecayMult is, the smaller the actual step size is … the smaller KfFUEL_CrankAF_DecayMult, the larger the step. This is a single cal value.KtFUEL_CrankAF_DecayRefThis is actually the “step duration” of each decay interval. Between execution updates of(KfFUEL_AFR_CrankInitDelta)*(KfFUEL_CrankAF_DecayMult), the software waitsKtFUEL_CrankAF_DecayRef cylinder events. This is a very coarse table based on coolant temperature.KtFUEL_t_RunAF_DecayDelayThis is a coolant-based table (in seconds) that determines the delay between Crank Air Fuel and Run Air Fuel.KtFUEL_AFR_RunTimeoutInitDeltaKfFUEL_CrankRunAF_BlendMultThis multiplier actually determines the “step size” of each blend interval between the last crank value and the desired run value. The difference between the desired run air/fuel and the last crank air/fuel (desired run air/fuel - KtFUEL_AFR_RunTimeoutInitDelta ?) is calculated and then multiplied by (1-KfFUEL_CrankRunAF_BlendMult). The result is then added to the current air/fuel ratio to create the new blend value (this process continues until KtFUEL_t_RunAF_DecayDelay has been met). In other words, the larger this value is, the slower the blend … the smaller the value, the faster the blend. This is a single calibration value.KtFUEL_t_CrankRunAF_BlendIntrvlThis is actually the “step duration” of each step taken during the blending of the air/fuel ratio between the last crank value and the desired Run value. This is a table (in seconds) based on coolant.KtFUEL_AFR_RunTimeoutInitDeltaThis is the initial desired run air/fuel offset to the base open loop air/fuel. This value is subtracted from the base open loop air/fuel in order to determine the run air/fuel point to begin open loop fueling following crank (it is the “target” for the crank-to-run transition). This calibration is a table based on coolant.KtFUEL_t_RunAF_DecayIntrvlThis is actually the “step duration” of each step taken during the blending of the air/fuel ratio between the initial open loop value and the desired base open loop value. This is a table (in seconds) based on coolant.KfFUEL_RunAF_DecayMultThis multiplier actually determines the “step size” of each blend interval between the initial open loopair/fuel value and the desired base open loop air/fuel value. The difference between the current open loop value and the desired base open loop value is calculated and then multiplied by (1- KfFUEL_RunAF_DecayMult). The result is then added to the current air/fuel ratio to create the new blend value (this process continues until the closed loop criteria have been met, or the desired open loop air/fuel ratio has been reached). In other words, the larger this value is, the slower the blend … the smaller the value, the faster the blend. This is a single calibration value.Recommended Datalogger Parameters (shown in Green on Figure 1) CAFTI - Current Crank Air Fuel RatioCRAFTI - Current Crank-to-Run Air Fuel RatioAFTI - Current Run Air Fuel RatioVRPM – Actual engine RPMIRPMDES – Desired target RPMVCOOLTMP – Actual Coolant temperatureALTMAP – Altitude compensated Manifold PressureENGSTATE – 1 = Ignition On2 = Crank (shown in Brown on Figure 1)3 = Crank-to-Run / Run (shown in Brown on Figure 1)4 = Stall5 = Key-off6 = Power-downAIRFUEL – Overall commanded air/fuel ratioNGKPLENU – Actual measured air/fuel ratioAFCRANK – Commanded crank air/fuel ratioPRIMEBPW – Commanded prime pulse width (in msec)General Calibration GuidelinesBefore You Start:-You will absolutely need some sort of fast response Air/Fuel sensor (such as an NGK A/F sensor) placed in the exhaust manifold where all cylinders meet.-You will need to datalog the sensors output as fast as possible (7.81 ms most cases) and base your cal changes on what you learn from the data.-If possible, find a similar application and place those values in your calibration.-If that is not possible, find a “not as similar as you would like” application and use those values.-Study Figure 1 and the cal descriptions. You will need to thoroughly understand how the open loop fueling parameters interact before you begin calibrating.You Are Now Ready To Calibrate:-Since you now have something other than zeros in your cal (which, by the way, is NOT an option for a starting point), and your knowledge of the cal functionality is above average, you can begin coarse cal-refinement at the 20C ambient break point. You will need to soak the car to room temperature (20C) ina garage and use Figure 1, the cal parameter descriptions, and your datalogger data, in order to achievedesired start times and flares.-Once that point is starting reasonably (nothing fancy at this point), warm the engine up to operating temperature (80 – 92 C breakpoints) and calibrate fueling for desired start times and flares during warm re-starts at these temperatures. Once again, use Figure 1, the cal parameter descriptions, and your datalogger data for reference.-For the cold end of the table, use a cold cell of some sort to keep the temperature constant and set it to –16C (this is a good starting cold temp … -28 is VERY cold and you will be much better off if you have some idea of your fueling needs at –16 before attempting the –28 breakpoint). As before, use Figure 1, the cal parameter descriptions, and your datalogger data, in order to achieve desired start times and flares.-Graph all your open loop air/fuel tables at –16, 20, 80 and/or 92C and interpolate the points between them. Once you have the general shape of the curves, extend the graphs to get some idea of where to set the –28C and –40C points.-Now that you have a cal baseline, you can begin refining the cals (this process will continue until start-of-production … believe me).-Utilize the Environmental Vehicle Lab (EVL) to soak the vehicle to cal table break points ranging from –28 C to 32 C. Refine cals at each break point to achieve desired start times and flares.-Use the ambient temperatures outside to test starts between break points. You will also be able to achieve starts at table (and non-table) break points from 32 to 92 degrees Celsius by letting the vehicle get up to operating temperature (80C – 92C) and then letting it soak at different intervals.-Now use the EVL again to achieve start temperatures above 92C by following your customers hot re-start requirements. Usually a max oil temperature will be specified, and once reaching that, you will be required to soak at different intervals to achieve different start temperatures (the two most important of which are max coolant and max injector tip). You will most likely need to define these two points by thermocoupling coolant, oil, and all injector tips, driving the vehicle till the specified max oiltemperature is reached, and then datalogging the thermocouples during the soak period (an hour should be long enough). You can then graph your injector tip temperatures and coolant temperature as afunction of soak time, which will in turn allow you to determine the soak time necessary to achieve max injector and coolant points during your testing.General Calibration Rules of Thumb (aka helpful bits of magic)If The Vehicle Does NOT Start:-The air/fuel sensor does you no good at crank since the air/fuel mixture has not reached it (i.e. … it will always be pegged lean during crank).-Make sure you have a brand new battery in the vehicle … this will greatly affect your crank speed. I recommend putting a charger on the battery when doing initial cold start work just to eliminate the possibility of a weak battery causing any problems (you can do starts with just the new battery once you feel comfortable with your calibration).-Assume you have the proper crank spark and crank air calibrations. If you think these are incorrect, use the recommended initial values discussed in sections II and III of this cal guide. This will be enough air and spark to get you started at just about any temperature (however, start quality could be “less than desirable”).-Try to start the vehicle again and see if it starts … If not, continue with this section.-If the vehicle doesn’t seem to be firing (or partials … i.e. fires then cranks then fires then cranks etc.), increase the prime pulse till it fires and runs (if only for a split second).-If it fires and stalls immediately, increase your initial open loop a/f offset in order to richen up the run fuel and keep it running.Once The Vehicle Starts (and runs for at least a few seconds):-If the air/fuel sensor goes very lean immediately following the start, you will need more prime fuel.-If the air/fuel sensor goes very rich immediately following the start, you will need less prime fuel.-If the air/fuel sensor “quickly ramps lean” following the start, and the vehicle idles poorly and possibly even stalls, increase your Open Loop A/F offset (to richen up the initial run fuel), or slow down the leaning out of the crank fuel (which approach to take will be based on what your datalogger data looks like).-If the air/fuel sensor “stays rich” following the start and the vehicle coughs, spits, sags well below desired, or even stalls, reduce your Open Loop A/F offset (to lean out the initial run fuel), or speed up the leaning out of the crank fuel (which approach to take will be based on what your datalogger data looks like).Startup Airflow CalibrationDiscussionThe startup airflow is the sum total of ALL the engine airflow components (temporary and learned) that help create a fast strong start/flare condition. The following equation best describes the definition of startup airflow:Startup Airflow = KtIDLE_Pct_StartUpAirflowOfst + KtIDLE_Pct_ColdAirflowOfstDRV/PN + IDLINTGLAll of these parameters will be discussed in detail in the sections that follow, so keep this relationship in mind as the calibration parameters are presented.Calibration Parameters and Initial Values:KtIDLE_Pct_ColdAirflowOfstDRVThis value is the % airflow offset that is added to the current integral base value to allow for stable cold run conditions (AT in drive or MT). It is a table based on coolant temperature.Recommended Initial Values:KtIDLE_Pct_ColdAirflowOfstPNThis value is the % airflow offset that is added to the current integral base value to allow for stable cold run conditions (AT in Park/Neutral). It is a table based on coolant temperature.Recommended Initial Values:KtIDLE_Pct_StartUpAirflowOfstThis is the % airflow offset that is added in at crank in addition to the KtIDLE_Pct_ColdAirflowOfstDRV/PN and base integral values. It is used to help overcome initial engine friction and produce a fast strong start. It is quickly decayed out following the start and consists of a table based on coolant temperature.Recommended Initial Values:KtIDLE_t_StartUpInitDecayDlyThis is the initial delay to the decaying out of KtIDLE_Pct_StartUpAirflowOfst once Engine State 3 (Run) is reached. The value is in seconds and is looked up in a coolant-based table.Recommended Initial Values:KtIDLE_t_StartUpFlowDecayDlyThis “delay” is actually the duration of each decay step taken during the process of decaying out KtIDLE_Pct_StartUpAirflowOfst. The value is in seconds and is looked up in a coolant based table Recommended Initial Values:KfIDLE_Pct_StartUpAirflowDecayThis “decay” is actually the amount of each decay step taken during the process of decaying outKtIDLE_Pct_StartUpAirflowOfst. It is an actual percentage of airflow subtracted from the current value every KtIDLE_t_StartUpFlowDecayDly seconds. Simply put, the smaller the value the slower the decay, the larger the value the faster the decay. It is a single calibration value with units of % airflow.Recommended Initial Value: 1.25KtIDLE_t_ColdFlowDecayIntervalThis “interval” is actually the duration of each decay step taken during the process of decaying out KtIDLE_Pct_ColdAirflowOfstDRV/PN. The value is in seconds and is looked up in a coolant based table Recommended Initial Values:KtIDLE_ColdAirflowDecayMultThis calibration actually determines the amount of each decay step taken during the process of decaying out KtIDLE_Pct_ColdAirflowOfstDRV/PN. The current value of KtIDLE_Pct_ColdAirflowOfstDRV/PN is multiplied by KtIdle_ColdAIrflowDecayMult and the result is the new KtIDLE_Pct_ColdAirflowOfstDRV/PN. In other words, the smaller the value, the faster the decay (and of course the larger the value, the slower the decay). This is a lookup table based on coolant.Recommended Initial Values:Recommended Datalogger Parameters (shown in Green on Figure 2) VRPM – Actual engine RPMIRPMDES – Desired target RPMVCOOLTMP – Actual Coolant temperatureALTMAP – Altitude compensated Manifold PressureENGSTATE – 1 = Ignition On2 = Crank (shown in Brown on Figure 2)3 = Crank-to-Run / Run (shown in Brown on Figure 2)4 = Stall5 = Key-off6 = Power-downVIACPMP – Actual motor position of the Idle Air Control Valve (in counts)ISTUPFLW – Startup airflow offset (from table KtIDLE_Pct_StartUpAirflowOfst)ICLDDR/PN – Temporary cold airflow offset while transmission is in Drive/Park-Neutral (from table KtIDLE_Pct_ColdAirflowOfstDRV/PN)ICLDFLW – Value currently being used by the vehicle as it’s cold offset (either ICLDDR orICLDPN)IFNACDR/PN – Idle base integral value with no AC, transmission in Drive/Park-Neutral (FastLearning)IFWACDR/PN – Idle base integral value with AC, transmission in Drive/Park-Neutral (FastLearning)ISNACDR/PN – Idle base integral value with no AC, transmission in Drive/Park-Neutral (SlowLearning)ISWACDR/PN – Idle base integral value with no AC, transmission in Drive/Park-Neutral (Slow Learning)IDLINTGL – Value currently being used by the vehicle as the base idle integral (eitherISNACDR/PN or ISWACDR/PN)IDLEFLOW – Total Airflow at any given time (ISTUPFLW + ICLDFLW + IDLINTGL)General Calibration Guidelines:1)Make sure you have a reasonable calibration for crank fueling (if you don’t, go back and calibrate thatfirst).2)Make sure you have a reasonable calibration for crank spark (if not, put 10 degrees at all points in theKtSPRK_phi_CrankCltRPM crank spark table for now).3)Now put the recommended initial values into the calibration. These values (since most are based onengine % airflow) should get you to start and flare reasonably on any application (unlike calibrating crank air/fuel, which needs initial values from a similar engine).4)As with the fuel calibrations earlier, you should use the ambient temperature outside and some sort ofEnvironmental Vehicle Lab (for extreme hot and cold temps) to “fine tune” the coolant basedcalibration tables. Be sure you first warm the vehicle up to operating temperature to allow all of the integral slow cells to learn their warm idle values (ISNACDR/PN, ISWACDR/PN). You can then soak the vehicle down to different start temperatures and increase/decrease the amount of Startup Airflow (KtIDLE_Pct_StartUpAirflowOfst) in order to achieve the desired rpm flare characteristics.Note: You should ALWAYS warm the vehicle all the way to it’s warm operating temperature between starts to make sure the idle integral values are properly learned. It is possible tocorrupt the integrals during cold start development and they will remain that way for thenext start if this is not done.5)To calibrate the KtIDLE_Pct_ColdAirflowOfstDRV/PN tables, soak the vehicle to each break point onthe table, start the vehicle, and note the value of ICLDDR/PN on your datalogger (it should equal the value in your KtIDLE_Pct_ColdAirflowOfstDRV/PN table at startup). Following the initial start and flare, ICLDDR/PN should learn down quickly to the value it wishes to run at in order to maintain the desired idle (IRPMDES) at that particular start temperature. That value of ICLDDR/PN should then be placed in the calibration table KtIDLE_Pct_ColdAirflowOfstDRV/PN as your new value.Note: This value is only capable of learning down. If the value of IDLINTGL on yourdatalogger immediately begins learning up following the initial start (and ICLDDR/PNremains unchanged), you will need to raise the value of KtIDLE_Pct_ColdAirflowOfstDRV/PNat that point in the table. After re-learning your idle integral warm, increaseKtIDLE_Pct_ColdAirflowOfstDRV/PN considerably to be sure that the next test willlearn down.Crank / Crank-to-Run Spark Transition CalibrationDiscussionCrank spark is the least critical and most “forgiving “ of the startup calibration sections. It has less of an effect on the actual speed of the start and more of an effect on the start “quality” (making it the “fine tuning” portion of the calibration). I will discuss how to use the spark calibrations to improve start flares and overall “appearance” to the driver.Calibration Parameters and Initial ValuesKtSPRK_phi_CrankCltRPMThis 2-D calibration table (based on coolant and RPM) is the actual spark commanded (and delivered) during the crank state of the starting process.Recommended Initial Value: 10 degrees at all table pointsKtSPRK_t_CrankToRunRampDelayThis calibration is simply a timer used to delay the ramping of the spark from crank to the determined run spark (be it normal or converter light-off mode). It is useful when controlling rpm flares in that you can hold the spark value long enough to help eliminate any “hitches” or droops in the flare which can cause accidental triggering of the high DI detection logic. If the “ramp up” rate of the flare is inconsistent, the high DI detection logic considers it to be a “poor quality” start and richens up the air/fuel ratio accordingly. This is undesirable if caused by a sudden change in delivered spark.Recommended Initial Value: 0.5 secondsKtSPRK_phi_CrankToRunDownStepThis calibration is used to smoothly transition between crank spark and the determined run spark (be it normal or converter light-off mode) when crank spark is greater than the desired run value. It was decided to make it a “degrees per 15.6 ms loop” decay in order to keep the software simple. It also helps to control rpm flares by eliminating any sudden changes in delivered spark.Recommended Initial Value: 0.1 at all table pointsKtSPRK_phi_CrankToRunUpStepThis calibration is used to smoothly transition between crank spark and the determined run spark (be it normal or converter light-off mode) when crank spark is less than the desired run value. It was decided to make it a “degrees per 15.6 ms loop” decay in order to keep the software simple. It also helps to control rpm flares by eliminating any sudden changes in delivered spark.Recommended Initial Value: 0.1 at all table pointsKfSPRK_n_CL_CrankToRunRPM_DeltaThis calibration is the positive rpm offset value at which closed loop spark is enabled. Once DESIRED RPM + KfSPRK_n_CL_CrankToRunRPM_Delta has been crossed for the first time (during the increasing portion or the rpm flare), the closed loop spark logic is then enabled when that threshold is crossed again (during the decreasing portion of the rpm flare). This was added to insure that closed loop spark is enabled as quickly as possible, given a proper start/flare/idle transition. Going closed loop too early can cause flare inconsistencies due to rapidly changing spark values, while too late can cause idle instability.Recommended Initial Value: 10 rpmKtSPRK_t_IdleCL_SparkDelayTimeIf, for any reason, the desired rpm delta criteria (desired rpm + KfSPRK_n_CL_CrankToRunRPM_Delta) has not been met (in either the increasing or decreasing direction), this calibration timer will force closed loop spark once it has expired. It is a carry-over from the old crank to run spark transition and was kept in as a fail-safe system for going into closed loop spark mode regardless of start quality. It should be calibrated to be considerably longer than the typical flare time of any given cold start.Recommended Initial Value: 4 seconds at all table pointsRecommended Datalogger Parameters (shown in Green on Figure 3) VRPM – Actual engine RPMIRPMDES – Desired target RPMVCOOLTMP – Actual Coolant temperatureALTMAP – Altitude compensated Manifold PressureENGSTATE – 1 = Ignition On2 = Crank (shown in Brown on Figure 3)3 = Crank-to-Run / Run (shown in Brown on Figure 3)4 = Stall5 = Key-off6 = Power-downSPARK – Overall commanded sparkIDLSPARK – Current desired Idle sparkCRSPRKDN – Spark ramping done flagGeneral Calibration Guidelines1)Assume that you have a reasonable calibration for startup IACV and Crank fuel.2)Set calibration parameters to the recommended initial values.If reasonable values are already in your crank spark table (KtSPRK_phi_CrankCltRPM), you may wish to leave them assuming someone has already done that calibration (this table is commonly“carried over” from an earlier application). If you are starting from scratch, the recommended initial values will get you started.3)Use the following parameters to improve flare characteristics:-KtSPRK_t_CrankToRunRampDelay can be used to increase/decrease the time at the flare peak and “smooth” the positive going slope of the flare.-KtSPRK_phi_CrankToRunUp/DownStep can be used to smooth, increase, or decrease the negative going slope of the flare.4)Set KfSPRK_n_CL_CrankToRunRPM_Delta to allow the vehicle to go into closed loop sparkmode as soon as possible without interfering with the final portion of the flare.5)Set KtSPRK_t_IdleCL_SparkDelayTime to some value beyond the typical flare duration in order toforce closed loop spark if for some reason KfSPRK_n_CL_CrankToRunRPM_Delta criteria isn’t met following the start.Appendix AAppendix AFigures 1, 2 and 3 (Full Size)。
Conductivity test for Purified Water and Water for Injections according to USP-NFAn application for M eterLab ®SummaryThe conductivity of a water is aMeter calibration: It is accomplished by replacing the conductivity cell with precision The cell constant can be verified directly by using this conductivitystandard. measure of the ion mobilityresistors traceable to primary through this water. The conductivi-ty partly depends on the pH, thetemperature and the amount ofatmospheric carbon dioxide, which has been dissolved in the water toform ions (intrinsic conductivity).The conductivity also depends onthe chloride, sodium and ammoni-um ions initially present in the water (extraneous conductivity). The conductivity (intrinsic andextraneous) of the water is meas- ured and compared to values list- ed in a table to evaluate if the studied water is suitable or not for use in pharmaceutical applica- tions. If the sample fails Stage 1, additional tests have to be per- formed (Stages 2 and 3) in order to determine if the excessive con- ductivity value is due to intrinsic factors or extraneous ions.
