Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for adjusting engine operation based on estimated vaporized and condensed portions of water injected during a water injection event. In one example, a method may include injecting an amount of water into the intake manifold in response to engine conditions and inferring vaporized and condensed portions of the injected water based on the injected amount and a change in manifold temperature following the injection. Further, the method may include adjusting water injection and engine operating parameters in response the evaporated and/or condensed portion of water.

Claim (Index 19):
A system, comprising:\n a water injector coupled to an intake manifold upstream of an engine cylinder; an electrically-driven compressor coupled upstream of the intake manifold; a pressure sensor to sense pressure in the intake manifold; a temperature sensor coupled to the intake manifold; a controller including non-transitory memory with computer readable instructions for:\n injecting a first amount of water into the intake manifold via the water injector; \n determining a portion of the first amount that condensed within the intake manifold based on a change in manifold temperature measured by the temperature sensor following the injecting and the first amount of water; \n in response to the water injection, reducing an amount of throttle opening to decrease manifold pressure, and \n adjusting engine operation based on the determined portion.
