Pressure loss estimation method and pressure loss estimation device for air cleaner

摘要

A method and a device for calculating a pressure loss of an air cleaner, wherein the air cleaner is disposed upstream of a compressor of a supercharger in an engine provided with a plurality of state quantity sensors, includes the step of calculating an outlet pressure of the compressor by using output values of the state quantity sensors, the step of calculating an inlet pressure of the compressor by using the outlet pressure and a characteristic map of the compressor, wherein the characteristic map shows a relationship between a ratio of the outlet pressure to the inlet pressure and a flow rate of gas flowing in an intake pipe of the engine, and the step of calculating the pressure loss of the air cleaner from the inlet pressure.
