摘要:
A method is provided for operating a volume-controlled internal-combustion engine having an intake tract and an exhaust system. An expansion machine is arranged in the intake tract in the flow direction of a combustion air in front of an inlet valve of the engine. An output shaft of the expansion machine is coupleable with an output shaft of the engine. A heat exchanger is arranged in the exhaust system. Before combustion air flows through the expansion machine, it is heated in the heat exchanger by exhaust gas of the internal-combustion engine. The method achieves an efficiency improvement in an internal-combustion engine with a volume-controlled load control at partial load.

A turbocharger apparatus of an engine may include a turbine installed to generate a rotating force from an exhaust gas flow of the engine, a compressor selectively coupled to the turbine to be rotated for compressing air which is to be supplied into an engine combustion chamber of the engine, a shaft installed to transfer the rotating force of the turbine to the compressor, a clutch installed to the shaft to control the transfer of the rotating force between the turbine and the compressor, a planetary gear unit connected to the compressor, and a motor generator mounted onto the shaft and coupled to the planetary gear unit to receive the rotating force of the compressor through the planetary gear set.

A turbocharger system for an air-throttled engine includes a variable flow expander (VFE) in the intake air conduit system that supplies intake air to the engine. At part-load operation, the VFE expands the air by an amount that is controllable, and thus regulates the air flow as needed by the engine. The power extracted by the VFE from the intake air flow is fed to the turbocharger, which helps to achieve quicker turbocharger response and improve scavenging of exhaust gases from the engine. The VFE can be a variable expansion ratio turbine.

A method of controlling an internal combustion engine boosting system of the type including an exhaust-driven turbocharger and a mechanically-driven supercharger. The supercharger includes rotors and a clutch operable in a first condition to transmit torque from a mechanical drive source to a supercharger input in response to a positive input, and operable in a second condition to interrupt the transmission of torque from the source to the input. The method is characterized by determining possible operation of the clutch in a first condition; and commanding a bypass valve toward a closed position, forcing air through the supercharger. The airflow causes the supercharger rotors to rotate, thus rotating the input of the supercharger prior to the clutch operating in the first condition.

In a compressor in the induction tract of an internal combustion engine with a compressor by which combustion air can be compressed to an increased boost pressure and which includes a compressor wheel rotatably mounted in a compressor housing with a main inlet duct in the flow path to the compressor wheel, and an auxiliary inlet duct joining the main inlet duct in the area of the compressor wheel, an adjustable swirl device is provided in the auxiliary intake duct, which comprises two separate, interacting swirl structures with a plurality of guide vanes distributed over the periphery and arranged so that the flow cross-section between the guide vanes of the two swirl structures can be changed by an adjusting motion of at least one swirl structure, the vane height of the guide vanes of the smaller swirl structure being 5% to 35% of the vane height of the guide vanes of the larger swirl structure.

An internal combustion engine is provided with a variable valve train capable of altering opening and closing timings and/or opening amounts of at least one of an intake valve and an exhaust valve of an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine is characterized in that the internal combustion engine is further provided with a negative pressure mechanism that operates using intake pipe negative pressure generated in an intake passage of the internal combustion engine, a throttle valve for adjusting the flow rate of intake air flowing through the intake passage, and negative pressure generating device that controls at least one of the variable valve train and the throttle valve to generate the intake pipe negative pressure, when the intake pipe negative pressure for operation of the negative pressure mechanism is insufficient.
摘要:
In an intake passage (1) of an internal combustion engine (8), a compressor (4) combined with an electric motor/generator (4a) is provided. A bypass valve (6) connecting upstream and downstream portions of the intake passage (1) to bypass the compressor (4) is further provided. When a required intake air flow rate of the engine (8) is smaller than a threshold value, the engine (8) operates by natural aspiration of intake air and the electric motor/generator (4a) generate electric power by using rotational energy of the compressor (4) which rotates due to the flow of intake air. By increasing the opening of the bypass valve (6) as the required intake air flow rate diverges from the discharge flow rate of the compressor (4) the intake air flow rate is accurately controlled while satisfying the power generation requirement.

An air turbine apparatus is suitable for use as the intake or exhaust of a combustion engine. A housing defines an expansion chamber that communicates with an inlet and outlet. A tube is disposed proximate to the inlet and includes a plurality of perforations to encourage air flow from the expansion chamber to an induction chamber within the tube.

A secondary air system 10 is proposed for an internal combustion engine, which has a turbine 11 driven by a pressure gradient in the intake air and a compressor 14 driven by the turbine 11. The turbine is connected by a turbine inlet line 12 and a turbine outlet line 13 to an air intake duct 20. The compressor 14 has a compressor inlet line 15 and a compressor outlet line 16. The cold produced by the turbine 11 is used by a turbine heat exchanger 17 and transport lines 27 for the cooling of, e.g., oil. The heat produced by the compressor 14 is used by a compressor heat exchanger 18 and the transport lines 27 connected thereto, e.g., for heating air.
