Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for Control of an internal combustion engine with a gas-dynamic Pressure wave machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a gas-dynamic pressure wave machine that is intended to supply charge air to an internal combustion engine is from the WO 99/11913 of the same applicant.
  • a rotatable air housing to the Openings of one of the two high-pressure channels with respect to the align with other openings in the other high-pressure channel, to a process vote over the entire map area to achieve the combustion engine as well as a variable Width adjustment of the high pressure exhaust duct and more Characteristics.
  • the first stage one differentiates between two phases, a positive load jump at Accelerating, and a negative load jump during braking, or take gas.
  • the second stage can be divided into three phases subdivide, part load phase, idle phase and constant Vollastphase.
  • the present invention particularly relates to positive load jump when accelerating as well as the negative Load jump when Gaswegoli or deceleration with subsequent partial load behavior.
  • the Pressure wave loader can be damaged, for example, the Storage of the rotor by stripes on the housings or due to high exhaust gas recirculation and / or too low Boost pressure and / or high charge air temperature of Motor operation is disturbed.
  • FIGs 1 and 2 is a gas dynamic Pressure wave machine shown at the a variety of Improvements have been made to total the Significantly increase the efficiency.
  • the pressure wave machine 30 is above the high pressure exhaust passage 31 and the high pressure charge air passage 32 with the schematically illustrated Combustion engine 33 connected.
  • the low pressure exhaust passage 35 Located in the gas housing 34 Furthermore, the low pressure exhaust passage 35, and it is off.
  • This figure shows that the two channels, d. H. of the High-pressure exhaust duct and the low-pressure exhaust duct, in Gas housing rotor side as sector-shaped openings 36A and 37A each with an opening edge 36 or 37 open, see also FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the opening edges become the high-pressure charge air duct 32, d. H. the in the Rotor cells opening openings, adjusted by either the air housing with respect to the stationary rotor and Gas housing or only the high-pressure charge air duct twisted becomes.
  • the rotation of the housing can, for example 0 - 25 °.
  • the connecting line 46 from the high pressure charge air duct into the high pressure exhaust duct leads.
  • the connection line contains a Check valve 47, optionally with a provided electronic control. This works Check valve as a regulation in the sense that only Pressure surges are transmitted, their energy level higher than the current pressure in the high pressure exhaust duct.
  • the negative pressure pulses d. H.
  • Branch which in Figure 1 or 2 somewhere between the High-pressure charge air duct edge and the engine inlet is arranged, directly after the opening edge of the high-pressure charge air duct is arranged.
  • This preferred variant is not in Figure 1 for the sake of clarity located.
  • the pressure wave machine is after State of the art strongly filling-dependent.
  • Reduction of pressure pulsations as described above allows the provision of a connection line the Return of charge air to the high pressure exhaust side of the Pressure wave machine, thereby increasing the Mass flow rate of the machine and thus an increase in the Filling degree, resulting in a significant increase in pressure makes noticeable.
  • An additional regulation of repatriated Fresh air high-pressure quantity by means of a regulated Check valve can thus for boost pressure control in general and the gasoline engine in addition to Power control can be used. That means with others Words that the pressure wave machine to improve the Compression efficiency at higher engine flow rates can be dimensioned slightly larger, without at lower Motor throughputs to lose boost.
  • connection channel This can for example also be done by the Cross section of the connection channel by means of a suitable, known device is controlled, either the Regulated check valve or an additional Cross-section control can be used.
  • This is particularly effective in low to medium speed, Temperature and load range of the internal combustion engine.
  • the means, the system to increase the power by means of Connection line is a tool to assist if necessary low achievable boost pressure at low engine speeds, from 1'000 to 3'000 RPM, a big boost in boost pressure by exploiting the exhaust gas pulsations and the positive To achieve pressure difference across the pressure wave machine.
  • FIGS. 3, 3A are a Influencing the high pressure exhaust duct, or his Broadening, shown schematically.
  • the unwound rotor 40 shown with the cells 41 and a Recess 48 provided in the gas housing 34, which by a Slider 49 can be changed as indicated by the arrow 50 is indicated.
  • the slide 49 is completely in Arrow direction indented so that the high pressure exhaust duct widened without a bridge has arisen.
  • the slider can be moved so that the High-pressure channel is widened until the pressure in it so far, that is due to the pressure wave process generated boost pressure drops to the desired level.
  • the check valve the Connection line may only be opened, if all other parameters and actuators after the positive Load jump, because of the requirement of the highest possible Boost pressure, already in the optimal position. This is required because with the power boosting system of Intensified high-pressure process at the expense of the flushing process becomes.
  • the housing rotation, the speed and the position of the Slider of the width adjustment of the high pressure exhaust duct or the variable gas pocket inflow can vary depending on Requirement vary and in different settings bring similar results. Good results can be achieved be achieved that in hiring the Pressure wave machine, the performance of the internal combustion engine or their torque is optimized.
  • the inventive method is not on the described system combustion engine pressure wave machine limited. In its basic form, the procedure has for all Systems combustion engine-pressure wave machine validity. Its full effectiveness unfolds with all options. This method also applies to both petrol and for Diesel engines, with and without catalysts and with or without Additional heaters.
