摘要:
An exhaust-gas turbocharger in an internal combustion engine has a turbine and a compressor which is driven by the turbine and contains, in a compressor flow duct, a compressor impeller. A bypass to the compressor impeller communicates with the inflow duct via a first flow opening and, via a second flow opening, communicates with the compressor outflow region downstream of the outlet edge of the compressor impeller. A shutoff element which may be adjusted between a closing position and an opening position is provided in the bypass for the purpose of variably setting the effective flow cross-section of the bypass. The adjustable shutoff element is arranged in the second flow opening to the compressor outflow region.

An exhaust gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine, which has an exhaust gas turbine in the exhaust system and a compressor in the induction system, comprises a variable turbine geometry, associated with the turbine, for adjustably setting a radial inlet cross section for the flow to the turbine rotor. The variable turbine geometry is configured as a guide cascade ring, which has guide vanes distributed over the periphery and encompasses the turbine rotor. The minimum distance between two adjacent guide vanes obeys a specified relationship with respect to the diameter of the turbine rotor and the number of guide vanes of the guide cascade ring. In addition, a flow edge is provided on the radially inner surface of each guide vane.

Engines having turbochargers with a mechanically actuated wastegate typically control the wastegate in response to the air pressure at an outlet of a compressor portion of the turbocharger. Some engine configurations don't provide enough compressor outlet pressure variation to suitably control the wastegate. In the present invention, a control strategy is provided for opening and closing a wastegate based on exhaust gas pressure.

An engine-turbocharger unit for a vehicle, in particular an industrial vehicle, having an internal combustion engine; a decompression brake device; and a turbocharger in turn having a variable-geometry turbine driven by the exhaust gas from the engine, and a compressor driven by the turbine and connected at the outlet to an intake manifold of the engine; the unit also has a throttling device located on the outlet side of the turbine and settable between a fully-open attitude and a closed attitude; the variable-geometry turbine and the throttling device are jointly controlled, thereby allowing independent control of the exhaust manifold pressure of the combustion engine and of the expansion ratio of the turbine.

Variable geometry turbochargers comprise a turbine housing having an exhaust gas inlet and outlet, a volute connected to the inlet, and a nozzle wall adjacent the volute. A turbine wheel is carried within the turbine housing and is attached to a shaft. A plurality of movable vanes are disposed within the turbine housing adjacent the nozzle wall, and are positioned between the exhaust gas inlet and turbine wheel. The turbine housing includes a bypass exhaust gas flow port disposed internally therein having an inlet opening positioned upstream from the turbine wheel, and a outlet opening positioned downstream from the turbine wheel. The vanes are positioned adjacent respective bypass ports such that the inlet opening for each port is at least partially covered by a respective vane depending on vane placement. The inlet opening is exposed for facilitating bypass exhaust gas flow through the turbocharger when the respective vane is actuated or moved into an open position. The turbine housing may also comprise a specially configured nozzle wall terminal edge designed to work with vanes having a recessed underside surface to permit additional bypass exhaust gas flow within the turbocharger when the vanes are actuated in an open position.

A fresh air amount of an engine (1) is controlled by a variable nozzle (53) of a turbocharger (50). A controller (41) calculates an open loop control value of a drive signal of a variable nozzle (53) based on the running state of the engine (1). A target intake fresh air amount of the engine (1) is calculated based on the running state, and a processing value obtained by smoothing the target intake fresh air amount value is calculated (S132). A feedback control value of the drive signal is calculated so that a real intake fresh air amount coincides with the processing value (S367). The variable nozzle (53) is controlled based on the open loop value and feedback control value. By using the processing value as the target value of the feedback control, unstable factors in feedback control resulting from the time delay from operation of the variable nozzle (53) to change of the intake fresh air amount aspirated by the engine (1), are eliminated.

The invention discloses a method of reducing emissions in the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine having at least one cylinder to which an air/fuel mixture is supplied when a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine rotates, at least one inlet valve, at least one exhaust valve, control members for controlling the opening and closing of the inlet and exhaust valves, and a piston reciprocating between a top dead-center position and a bottom dead-center position in the cylinder. The method includes the steps of supplying an air/fuel mixture with lambda value greater than 1 to the cylinder, controlling the internal combustion engine so that it works at high load, and controlling the inlet valve so that it opens after the piston has passed the top dead-center position. According to an embodiment of the invention, the internal combustion engine is controlled so that the crankshaft rotates at an essentially constant speed within a range of about 1000 to about 2000 rpm.

A method of engine compression release braking with avoidance of turbine overspeed is disclosed. Initially, an electronic control module determines whether a turbine overspeed condition is present. If an overspeed condition is present, then the blow down timing of an engine compression release braking event is advanced. The present invention is particularly applicable to preventing turbine overspeed for vehicles operating at higher altitudes while compression braking.

A system and method for measuring the flow rate of recirculated exhaust gas in a compression ignition engine including a plurality of engine sensors having outputs indicative of current engine conditions and a turbocharger. The system includes an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve mounted in the exhaust pipe upstream of the turbocharger for diverting a selectable portion of the exhaust gas for recirculation and combination with the charge air, one or more sensors for sensing current conditions of the recirculated exhaust gas, including temperature and pressure, one or more sensors for sensing current conditions of the intake air, and control logic for determining the flow rate of the recirculated exhaust gas as a function of the sensed conditions. In one embodiment, the system includes an obstruction in the flow path of the recirculated exhaust gas and a differential pressure sensor for determining the pressure differential between a point upstream of the obstruction and a point downstream of the obstruction and control logic for determining the flow rate of the recirculated exhaust gas as a function of the current intake manifold pressure, the recirculated exhaust gas temperature, and the differential pressure drop across the obstruction.
摘要:
A pneumatic/mechanical actuator described herein consists of a variation of a Brayton-cycle machine for generating actuation force. The system avoids the continues heat problem of a Brayton-cycle by using compressed gas to drive a reversible turbine. The turbine only is driven when a change of actuation position. The system includes an internal-combustion engine-air compressor, a pneumatic energy storage and transfer system, a fuel/air mixing means, two electric pilot valves, two lean-ratio high-pressure catalytic-bed burners, a small-diameter and reversible turbine, a ratio speed-reducing transmission, an optical-encoder feedback position and speed sensor and a ball-screw push-rod mechanism. An alternative embodiment uses a free piston engine compressor hybrid to provide the compressed air. Manual or computer control may be used to monitor and direct desired changes in actuator position.
