Abstract:
In an engine braking method for a supercharged internal combustion engine, wherein combustion air, which is under boost pressure and is supplied to the cylinders under the control of engine inlet and outlet valves, is compressed in the cylinders and is subsequently discharged into the exhaust tract, engine braking takes place in a two-stroke operating mode.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
An engine brake for a supercharged internal combustion engine for driving a motor vehicle is operated such that the working gas compressed during engine braking, prior to the end of the expansion cycle, is drawn at least partially from the working chambers of the engine through at least one throttle valve, with an exhaust turbocharger of the engine having an exhaust turbine with variable turbine geometry. The engine braking power is regulated based upon the travel of the throttle valve and/or an intake cross section of the exhaust turbine as a function of the operating parameters of the internal combustion engine and the vehicle driving speed. Upon issuance of a signal indicating a braking performance requirement from the driver, the required braking power is applied at least preferably through the engine brake.

In an exhaust gas turbocharger turbine for an internal combustion engine including a turbine housing with a turbine wheel disposed therein, an axially movable slide member having a front end with a vane structure is disposed in an annular gap formed in the turbine housing adjacent a radial flow passage leading to the turbine wheel such that the annular slide member is movable between a first position in which its vane structure is disposed in the radial flow passage and a second position in which the vane structure is received within the annular gap and blow off passages which extend through the turbine housing from the radial flow passage through the annular gap to the discharge side of the turbine are opened when the annular slide member is further retracted for discharging gas from the radial flow passage to the turbine discharge side while by-passing the turbine.

In a motor braking arrangement for an internal combustion engine including a turbocharger having a charger connected to the engine by an air intake duct and a turbine connected to the engine by an exhaust gas pipe including an exhaust gas shut-off valve arranged upstream of the turbine, a by-pass line extends from the exhaust gas pipe upstream of the shut-off valve to a gas admission passage of the turbine adjacent the turbine wheel to drive the turbine wheel by the gases discharged from the exhaust gas pipe when the shut-off valve is closed for engine braking purposes.
Abstract:
An exhaust-gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine has a turbine having a variable turbine geometry for the variable setting of the effective flow inlet cross section to the turbine wheel. The exhaust-gas turbocharger has a compressor which is connected to the turbine via a shaft. The variable turbine geometry can be adjusted by means of a regulating device between a closed position and an open position. To compensate for wear, a stop limiting an end position of the variable turbine geometry is provided, and the position of this stop can be set in a variable manner.
Abstract:
In a turbocharger system for internal combustion engines, the internal combustion engine has at least one combustion chamber with a variable volume and a swept volume determined by the sum of the differential volumes between the smallest and largest volumes of the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine. The turbocharger system associated to the internal combustion engine has at least one turbine arranged in the exhaust gas pipe of the internal combustion engine and provided with a flow channel which opens via an annular jet-shaped region onto a turbine wheel. A guiding apparatus arranged in the opening region of the flow channel has a variable guiding grid with adjustable guiding blades which make it possible to obtain free flow sections of different sizes and which acts as a throttle during braking in an adjustable manner, depending on the operational parameters of the internal combustion engine, for determining the narrowest flow section in the exhaust gas pipe that leads to the turbine. The system is characterized in that at maximum braking power the relation between the free flow section A in the exhaust gas pipe that leads to the turbine, the inlet diameter D of the turbine wheel and the swept volume VH of the internal combustion engine is described by the equation (I) when the braking power supplied by the internal combustion engine during braking is at its maximum, the turbo-braking factor (TBF) being smaller than 0.0005 (5%). The internal combustion engine and the turbocharger are matched so as to supply maximum braking power with low thermal stress.
Abstract:
An exhaust gas turbocharger for an internal-combustion engine has a turbine wheel which is arranged in a housing of the exhaust gas turbocharger and to which exhaust gas can be fed by way of a flow duct constructed in the housing. A variable baffle is provided for adjusting the flow cross-section of the flow duct. In order to equip the exhaust gas turbocharger with a braking function at low manufacturing and mounting expenditures, the baffle is movably accommodated in a matrix which is detachably held on the housing. The baffle and the matrix form an exchangeable braking module.
