Method and control device for determining a characteristic viscosity variable of an oil

Принадлежит: Schaeffler Technologies AG and Co KG

In order for the viscosity of the engine oil to be determined as directly as possible, particularly in the case of a motor vehicle with hydraulic control of the gas exchange valves, provision is made for a time period which a hydraulic component, in particular a solenoid valve, requires to move from a first position to a second position to be used as a measure of the viscosity. In particular, an electrical control signal for the solenoid valve is evaluated in the process. An additional sensor arrangement is not required. The determined viscosity is preferably actively used for controlling the gas exchange valves.

Принадлежит: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLC

A lubrication torque limit module includes a temperature module that determines a temperature of an engine and generates an engine temperature signal. A limit module generates a torque limit signal based on the temperature signal and a speed of the engine. The torque limit signal identifies an indicated torque maximum limit. A torque arbitration module limits indicated torque of the engine based on the indicated torque maximum limit. The indicated torque of the engine is equal to an unmanaged brake torque of the engine plus an overall friction torque of the engine.

Engine combustion control at low loads via fuel reactivity stratification

Номер: US20120247421A1
Автор: Derek A. Splitter, Reed M. Hanson, Rolf Deneys Reitz, Sage L. Kokjohn
Принадлежит: Individual

A compression ignition (diesel) engine uses two or more fuel charges during a combustion cycle, with the fuel charges having two or more reactivities (e.g., different cetane numbers), in order to control the timing and duration of combustion. By appropriately choosing the reactivities of the charges, their relative amounts, and their timing, combustion can be tailored to achieve optimal power output (and thus fuel efficiency), at controlled temperatures (and thus controlled NOx), and with controlled equivalence ratios (and thus controlled soot). At low load and no load (idling) conditions, the aforementioned results are attained by restricting airflow to the combustion chamber during the intake stroke (as by throttling the incoming air at or prior to the combustion chamber's intake port) so that the cylinder air pressure is below ambient pressure at the start of the compression stroke.

Therefore, the engine and aftertreatment mechanism should be controlled in a manner to achieve the optimality of the engine and the aftertreatment mechanism together as one entity.

When a fuel oil leakage from an injector during a stop of an engine is large and a fuel oil leakage determination condition is satisfied, an intake air flow rate is increased and then the engine is started. Through such control, while the engine is cranked at the time of a start, it is possible to early scavenge an air-fuel mixture having a high concentration of HC, and it is possible to optimize an air-fuel ratio (set an air-fuel ratio to an appropriate value within a combustible range) at the time of a start of the engine. As a result, a combustion state gets better, torque at the time of a start of the engine increases, and the startability of the engine improves. 1.

Exhaust gas throttle valve

Номер: US20130199176A1
Автор: John Zagone, Luis Carlos Cattani, Martin R. Zielke, Michael D. Bartkowicz
Принадлежит: International Engine Intellectual Property Co LLC

A method for driving exhaust gas recirculation comprising the steps of restricting exhaust gas flow into the turbine inlet to create backpressure in the exhaust system under low engine operating conditions, and providing an unrestricted exhaust gas flow to the turbine under normal engine operating conditions. Restriction of exhaust gas flow is accomplished through the use of an exhaust gas throttle valve disposed upstream of the turbine inlet. The valves can be adjustable knife edge flap valves or D-shaped valves situated in each passageway of a divided exhaust manifold, which are closed to varying degrees to generate desired levels of backpressure while allowing exhaust gas to pass though open regions of the partially obstructed flow pathway to reach the engine turbocharger. This allows the turbine to continue to spin, while at the same time exhaust gas back pressure upstream of the turbocharger is used to drive exhaust gas recirculation.

A position detecting device has an output circuit, which controls voltages of signal lines connecting a power supply and a ground by a power side transistor and a ground side transistor. An output signal line connects a connection point of the signal lines and an output terminal. A first comparator circuit outputs a signal “1” when a current flowing in the line between the power supply and the connection point is larger than a normal current flowing into the ground from the power supply in a normal state. A second comparator circuit outputs a signal “1” when a current flowing in the line between the connection point and the ground is larger than the normal current. When the signal “1” is output from the first comparator circuit or the second comparator circuit, a cutoff circuit turns off a switch disposed in the output signal line.
