    摘要: A method for controlling delivery of electric power between a power source and an electric turning machine (ETM) comprises applying a start signal to a start-up power electronic switch to cause turning on of the start-up power electronic switch and to allow delivery of electric power from the power source to the ETM via the start-up power electronic switch. A recharge signal is applied to a run-time power electronic switch to cause turning on of the run-time power electronic switch for delivery of electric power from the ETM to the power source via the run-time power electronic switch. A circuit comprises a discharging circuit including the start-up power electronic switch for delivering the electric power when the start-up power electronic switch is turned on. A charging circuit includes the run-time power electronic switch for delivering the electric power when the run-time power electronic switch is turned on.

    摘要: An engine assembly includes: a two-stroke internal combustion engine; a turbocharger operatively connected to the engine, the turbocharger having a compressor and an exhaust turbine; an intake pipe fluidly connected to the engine and to the compressor of the turbocharger; an exhaust tuned pipe fluidly connected to the engine and to the exhaust turbine of the turbocharger; a temperature sensor configured to generate a signal representative of a temperature of exhaust gas flowing within the exhaust tuned pipe; and a controller. The controller is configured to: determine a boost target pressure of the turbocharger based in part on the signal generated by the temperature sensor; and control the turbocharger to provide the boost target pressure to the engine. Methods for controlling an engine are also provided.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine (ICE) includes a crankshaft, a cylinder head defining in part a variable combustion chamber of the ICE, a direct fuel injector mounted on the cylinder head, a power source, an electric turning machine (ETM) rotating the crankshaft, an absolute position sensor providing an indication of an angular position of a rotor of the ETM, and an engine control unit (ECU) operatively connected to the absolute position sensor. The ECU controls a delivery of electric power from the power source to the ETM based on the angular position of the rotor of the ETM and causes the direct fuel injector to inject fuel directly in the combustion chamber at a time selected based on the angular position reached by the rotor of the ETM.

    摘要: A method for controlling a two-stroke internal combustion engine is disclosed. The engine has at least one combustion chamber, at least one direct fuel injector for injecting fuel directly in the at least one combustion chamber, at least one port fuel injector for injecting fuel upstream of the at least one combustion chamber, and at least one exhaust valve. The method has the steps of supplying a first fuel quantity to the at least one combustion chamber, a first ratio of the first fuel quantity being supplied by the at least one port fuel injector; and supplying a second fuel quantity to the at least one combustion chamber when a position of the at least one exhaust valve changes, a second ratio of the second fuel quantity being supplied by the at least one port fuel injector, the second ratio being different from the first ratio.
