Abstract
Method of smoke limiting an engine. The method may include determining a minimum air/fuel (AFR) ratio and fuel limiting as a function thereof. The method may include determining a maximum fueling rate as a function of the minimum AFR and air mass flow to the engine. The method may include controlling the engine according to a requested fueling rate unless the requested fueling rate is greater than the maximum allowable fueling rate.
