Abstract:
Abstract of DisclosureMethods for controlling intake air flow to an internal combustion engine having an output shaft driven by the internal combustion engine, an intake air pipe, an exhaust gas pipe, a compressor located in the intake air pipe, a turbine located in the exhaust gas pipe, a transmission system connecting turbine, compressor, and output shaft for energy transfer between the turbine and compressor, between the turbine and output shaft, and between the output shaft and compressor. The transmission system includes a variable transmission between the output shaft and compressor and a control means for controlling the gear ratio in the variable transmission.
Abstract:
Abstract of DisclosureMethod and arrangement for regulating the rotational speed of a crankshaft included in an internal combustion engine during a gear changing process of a gearbox connected to the internal combustion engine. The arrangement includes a compressor mounted in connection with the air inlet of the internal combustion engine. A transmission having a variable gear ratio is located between the crankshaft and a driving shaft arranged in connection with the compressor, and a control means is arranged to control the gear ratio between the crankshaft and the compressor. When changing from a higher to lower gear, the control means is arranged to control the gear ratio between crankshaft and compressor so that the gear ratio between these components is reduced, and wherein moment of inertia is transferred from compressor to crankshaft resulting in an acceleration of the crankshaft.
