Abstract

A method includes substantially eliminating surge of a compressor and reducing specific fuel consumption and exhaust emissions of an engine by adjusting exhaust flow through an exhaust gas recirculation system, by adjusting airflow through a compressor recirculation valve, by adjusting fuel injection timing, or by adjusting a combination thereof in response to variance in a plurality of parameters. The parameters include quantity of exhaust emissions, a maximum in-cylinder pressure of the engine, an area ratio of an exhaust gas recirculation mixer of the exhaust gas recirculation system, estimated or sensed compressor surge, engine load, altitude of operation, or combinations of the parameters thereof.
