СПОСОБ (ВАРИАНТЫ) ЭКСПЛУАТАЦИИ ДАТЧИКА СОДЕРЖАНИЯ САЖИ И ВЫПУСКНАЯ СИСТЕМА ДВИГАТЕЛЯ

Номер: RU2719113C2

Предложены способы и системы для снижения износа электродов датчика содержания сажи в агрессивной химической среде, возникающей в результате десульфатации накопителя оксидов азота, установленного выше по потоку от датчика содержания сажи. В соответствии с одним примером способ может предусматривать в ответ на превышение нагрузкой оксидов серы порогового значения, перед инициированием десульфатации НОА, обеспечение функционирования датчика содержания сажи в режиме предесульфатации, в котором отрицательный электрод на короткий период времени соединяют с положительным электродом, причем положительный электрод отсоединяют от положительного электрода. Тем не менее, во время десульфатации, во время которой происходит выделение HS в качестве побочного продукта, оба электрода могут быть открыты, т.е. не соединены с положительным электродом или с массой, тем самым уменьшая возможность износа датчика. 3 н. и 16 з.п. ф-лы, 8 ил.

Номер: RU2689241C2

Изобретение может быть использовано в системах топливоподачи двигателей внутреннего сгорания. Предложены способы и системы для эксплуатации топливоподкачивающего насоса топливной системы двигателя. В одном примере способа, при включении питания топливоподкачивающего насоса из выключенного состояния, ограничивают напряжение топливоподкачивающего насоса до нижнего первого уровня. Согласно способу поддерживают напряжение топливоподкачивающего насоса на нижнем первом уровне в течение некоторого периода времени перед тем, как повысить напряжение топливоподкачивающего насоса выше первого уровня. Изобретение позволяет уменьшить скачки напряжения при включении топливоподкачивающего насоса, а также уменьшить скачки давления в топливной рампе и ведущей к ней топливной линии и ошибки дозирования топлива за счет постепенного повышения давления топлива в топливных линиях, что способствует улучшению эксплуатационных показателей двигателя. 3 н. и 17 з.п. ф-лы, 9 ил.

The system generates a feedforward estimate of actuator current required to produce the desired flow rate. This estimate is combined with a fueling current offset value generated using a proportional-integral feedback controller (208). A differential pressure between the fuel rail and cylinder gas is converted, by surface interpolation based on a lookup table, to an estimate of actual fuel flow rate. The difference between this actual fuel flow rate and the desired flow rate is provided to the feedback controller (208) as an error signal. The feedback controller (208) uses different gain values depending on an operating mode of the engine (224) speed control and torque control modes).

Controlling armature movement in an electromagnetic device

Номер: GB0002310540A
Принадлежит:

A method of controlling movement of an armature of an electromagnetic device having an excitation winding comprises the steps of setting a first target value for the current (I) from a first instant (t1) onwards and setting a second target value IH for the current from a second instant (tr) onwards. The second target value is smaller than the first target value and the second instant (tr) lies before a third instant (t2) at which the armature has reached its end position. The armature may be the needle of a valve for determining the quantity of fuel to be injected in an internal combustion engine or part of a valve in a braking system. The energising current is reduced to the holding current valve IH shortly before the needle reaches the valve seat.

Assuring dropout of solenoid valve controlled by peak-and-hold driver

Номер: US20170023147A1
Автор: John J. Haller
Принадлежит: Automatic Switch Co

Systems and methods of controlling a solenoid coil in a solenoid valve provide a controller that allows a supervisory or leakage current to be used in a peak-and-hold driver. The controller introduces a delay time after detection of a dropout voltage that prevents the solenoid coil from being immediately re-energized in order to ensure proper dropout of the solenoid coil. The delay time imposes a wait period during which the controller takes no action with respect to the current in the solenoid coil, allowing the solenoid coil to deenergize and return the valve to its normally-open or normally-closed position. Such use of a delay time may be limited to instances where the controller has already gone through a power-up cycle such that the response time needed by the controller to energize the solenoid coil is minimized, thus reducing the valve startup time.
