    摘要: The present invention pertains to a control system for igniting devices (28,30,32,34,36,38) used in an internal combustion engine (24). In order to ignite alcohol fuel in a diesel engine, the fuel must be heated before or during compression. Glow plugs (28,30,32,34,36,38) conveniently provide heat, but have a short life in such continuous applications. Glow plugs must be accurately controlled to prevent overheating, which leads to open-circuiting. Individual constant voltage controls attempt to provide this function, but are only moderately successful. They are costly and complex, and provide only moderate protection from overheating. Since glow plug resistance correlates to glow plug temperature, resistance control provides better protection against glow plug overheating. Therefore, an apparatus (20) monitors the resistance of a single glow plug (28), and controls the resistance of each glow plug to a preselected resistance value. This preselected resistance value represents a glow plug temperature, that provides satisfactory fuel combustion combined with improved glow plug life. The principal use of the apparatus (20) of the present invention is with internal combustion engines using alternate fuels.

    摘要: An apparatus is provided for controllably connecting and disconnecting a piezoelectric actuator to and from an energy source to effect the displacement of a piezoelectric actuator for a fuel injector. Precise control of the timing and duration of the piezoelectric actuator is necessary to ensure that a proper quantity of fuel is delivered to each cylinder of an internal combustion engine. A charging and discharging means monitors the voltage level of the piezoelectric actuator, and the charging and discharging current of the piezoelectric actuator. Further, a smoothing means aids in leveling the charging and discharging current to better approximate a constant current to control the piezoelectric actuator providing a precise quantity of fuel to be delivered.
