- Figure 2 shows the usual operation of the three sets of engine valves and the use of exhaust gases produced by the engine.
- the three curves 24, 25, 26 of FIG. 2 represent, respectively, the movement of the high pressure exhaust valves, the low pressure exhaust valves and the intake valves as a function of the angular position of the crankshaft relative to the position of top dead point of combustion (corresponding to 0 °).
- the two zones 27, 28 which overlap very slightly, represent the use of the exhaust gases produced by the combustion chambers 3.
- the opening of the high pressure exhaust valves is controlled in advance by an angle of about 100 ° before the control of the opening of the low pressure exhaust valves (in the first embodiment). occurrence, at about 90 ° for the high pressure exhaust valves, and about 190 ° for the low pressure exhaust valves), and that the closing of the high pressure exhaust valves is controlled in advance by an angle of approximately 65 ° before the control of the closing of the low pressure exhaust valves (in this case, about 340 ° for the high pressure exhaust valves, and about 405 ° for the low pressure exhaust valves).
- the high pressure exhaust valves are the only open valves (from the 90 ° angle to the 190 ° angle), which corresponds to an exclusive high pressure exhaust phase where the turbine 12 is activated by the high pressure exhaust gas.
- this exclusive high-pressure exhaust phase all the exhaust gases produced in the combustion chambers 3 are used to drive the turbine 12.
- the high pressure exhaust valves and the low pressure exhaust valves are the only open valves (from the angle 190 ° to the angle 340 °), which corresponds to a phase of mixed exhaust where the two exhaust manifolds 9, 10 are fed, the low-pressure manifold 10 being the most fed collector. It is thus possible, according to the opening and closing angles of the high and low pressure exhaust valves, to send to the turbine 12 the quantity of high pressure exhaust gas necessary to obtain the requested power, then to decrease the flow of the high pressure exhaust gas due to the opening of the low pressure exhaust valves.
- the first and second time form a high pressure exhaust phase where the turbine 12 is driven by the exhaust gas.
- the low pressure exhaust valves and the intake valves are the only open valves (from the angle 340 ° to the angle 405 °), which corresponds to an exhaust phase. exclusive low pressure where, because of these positions, it is possible to send fuel into the low-pressure exhaust manifold 10 by injecting the fuel into the intake pipe 5.

- the recirculation line 14 comprises a catalytic device for producing hydrogen 18
- the simultaneous opening of the intake valves and the low pressure exhaust valves during the third time makes it possible to send fresh air directly upstream of the catalytic device for producing dihydrogen 18 and having a favorable richness at the inlet of this catalytic device 18.
- the third and fourth times form an intake phase where the intake valves are open.
- the exhaust system with the two high and low pressure exhaust manifolds and the high and low pressure exhaust valves and the control systems of the latter with an angular offset allows better control of the gas distribution. exhaust, by sending to the turbine 12 only the amount of high pressure exhaust gas necessary to the requested power. When this power is reached, the opening of the low-pressure exhaust passage bypasses the turbine by the bypass line, which reduces the pumping effort during the exhaust phase.
- the pressure in the combustion chambers 3 during the exhaust phase is reduced, they are better drained, and the residual gas content is decreased, which allows to obtain a better phasing of combustion.
- the two high and low pressure exhaust manifolds with their specific exhaust valves make it possible to independently control the flow of gas sent to the turbine 12 and the gas flow bypassing the latter.
- the recirculation line 14 which is supplied in parallel with the power supply of the turbine 12 and which opens upstream of the compressor 15 makes it possible to have a potential for the flow of gas. recirculation exhaust higher than in a conventional low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation system without causing significant performance losses imposed by an exhaust supply upstream of a turbine.
- the engine unit 1 comprising a gas tank 29 which is connected to the engine 2 by a pneumatic hybridization pipe 30 which comprises an isolation valve 31 which can take a communication configuration allowing a circulation of gas between the engine 2 and the reservoir 29 (both in the filling direction of the reservoir 29 by the engine 2 that in the direction of the supply of the motor 2 through the reservoir 29), and an isolation configuration preventing this circulation.
- the isolation valve 31 is part of the flow control system 23.
- the reservoir 29 is not powered by a specific exhaust manifold, but uses one of the two high and low pressure collectors 9, 10. In this case, so that the performance of the turbine 12 is not reduced because of the supply of gas to the tank 29, the latter is connected to the engine 2 via the low pressure exhaust manifold.
- the low-pressure exhaust manifold 10 can supply the recirculation line 14, the bypass line 22 and the pneumatic hybridization line 30.
- a distribution valve 32 and disposed at the junction of the recirculation line 14, the branch line 22 and the pneumatic hybridization line 30 with the low pressure exhaust manifold 10.
- the distribution valve 32 is part of the flow control system 23 and comprises two valves for selectively opening and closing the tapping openings of the recirculation line 14 and bypass line 22.
- This distribution valve 32 at two valves and the isolation valve 31 could be replaced by a three-valve distribution valve, the three valves for selectively opening or closing the three tapping openings of the recirculation line 14, bypass line 22 and the pneumatic hybridization line 30.
- the valves allowing the communication of the low-pressure exhaust manifold 10 with the combustion chambers 3 for putting the latter into communication with the engine.
- tank 29 are the low pressure exhaust valves.
- Low pressure exhaust valves are thus open to ranges of angular positions of crankshaft: one being the range corresponding to the low pressure exhaust, the other to a range corresponding to a pneumatic hybridization.
- the communication of the reservoir 29 with a combustion chamber 3 of the engine 2 requires the simultaneous opening of the valve disposed between the combustion chamber 3 and the low pressure exhaust manifold 10 and the valve disposed. between this manifold and the reservoir 29.
- the reservoir 29 is placed in communication with the combustion chambers 3 of the engine 2 only when the recirculation line 14 and the bypass line 22 are isolated from the engine 2 and the reservoir 29.
- the isolation valve 31 is open only when the two valves of the distribution valve 32 are closed. As a result, when the isolation valve 31 is open, the gases can circulate only between the reservoir 29 and the low-pressure exhaust manifold 10.
- the reservoir 29 is placed in communication with a combustion chamber 3 by opening the valve corresponding in the range of angular positions of pneumatic hybridization crankshaft only when all the other valves of this chamber are in their closed position.
- these valves which must be in their closed position are the intake valve and the high pressure exhaust valve.
- the reservoir 29 is not in communication with a combustion chamber 3 by opening the corresponding valve in the range of angular positions of the pneumatic hybridization crankshaft than when the valves of the other combustion chambers that can feed the low-pressure exhaust manifold 10 are in their closed position.
- the isolation valve 31 and the low pressure exhaust valve of a combustion chamber 3 are open, the gases can circulate only between the reservoir 29 and this combustion chamber 3.
- the reservoir is filled when the piston associated with the combustion chamber 3 is in an upward movement, and more specifically, when the combustion chamber 3 is in the compression phase, between the closure of the valve of admission and the top dead spot that follows him.
- the filling is done when it does not consume significantly energy.
- the filling is advantageously carried out when there is no fuel introduced into the chamber (which conventionally corresponds to a life phase of the vehicle where the driver does not exert pressure on the accelerator pedal).
- the isolation valve 31 and the low pressure exhaust valve are opened for a short time so as not to pump all the gas mixture contained in the combustion chamber 3, as shown in FIG. where the curve 33 represents the movement of the low pressure exhaust valve used to fill the reservoir 29.
- the use of the gas contained in the reservoir 29 can be done in two ways: either as mechanical force exerting on the piston associated with the combustion chamber 3 a source of additional pressure to the pressure resulting from the combustion carried out in the chamber 3, either as a generator of a flow increasing the turbulence of the gaseous mixture to be burned.
- the pressurized gas contained in the reservoir 29 is used as a mechanical force when the piston associated with the combustion chamber 3 is in a downward movement, in the relaxation phase, and more precisely, just after crossing the top dead center. which follows the combustion. Preferably, this use is performed when the motor 2 is low load.
- the isolation valve 31 and the low-pressure exhaust valve are opened for a short time in order to optimize the energy consumed and not to use too much of the gas contained in the reservoir 29 .
- the pressurized gas contained in the reservoir 29 is used as a mixing flow when the piston associated with the combustion chamber 3 is in an upward movement, and more specifically, when the combustion chamber 3 is in the compression phase, between the closing of the intake valve and the next top dead center.
- the CA50 is of 8 degrees crankshaft.
- the isolation valve 31 and the low pressure exhaust valve are open for a short time.
- the low pressure exhaust valve acting as a pneumatic hybridization valve is open around the top dead center of combustion (either before for filling the tank and the use of the gases as turbulent flow, or afterwards for use of gases as a mechanical force). It is also possible that the pneumatic hybridization valve is distinct from the high and low pressure exhaust valves, or even that there are several pneumatic hybridization valves. For example, in the case of two pneumatic hybridization valves, one can open in the compression phase, the other in the expansion phase; it would also be possible to have three pneumatic hybridization valves, one for each of the three different connections between the reservoir 29 and the engine 2.
- the engine group 1 also includes a valve deactivation system which, when it is activated, to keep closed a valve despite the crank angle which, without this system, would imply its opening.
- a valve deactivation system which, when it is activated, to keep closed a valve despite the crank angle which, without this system, would imply its opening.
- Such a system may be, for example, a clutch system associated with a camshaft, or the electromechanical actuators of the valves themselves.
- the advantage of such a deactivation system lies in the need to keep closed the valve acting as a pneumatic hybridization valve when the life situation of the engine 2 does not correspond to a situation requiring connection.
- Such a system therefore makes it possible to maintain closed the pneumatic hybridization valve (here, the low pressure exhaust valve) during the compression phase when fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber 3 (the filling of the reservoir 29 is then not relevant) or when the introduction of a turbulent flow is not necessary, and during the expansion phase when the engine is not in low load (the additional mechanical force is then superfluous).
- the system also makes it possible to keep closed the valves opening into the low-pressure exhaust manifold 10 of the combustion chambers other than that which is placed in communication with the tank.
- This system may be necessary if the pneumatic hybridization valve (here, the low-pressure exhaust valve) theoretically opens simultaneously with a low-pressure exhaust valve in the exhaust phase. The need for such a system therefore depends in particular on the number of combustion chambers 3 of the engine 2.
- Such a system thus allows to determine on a case by case basis, depending on the life situation of the vehicle, which valve of which chamber must be kept closed at such or such angular position of the crankshaft.
- valve deactivation system allows, also, when it is activated, to keep closed at least one high pressure exhaust valve of at least one combustion chamber.
- the exhaust gases which remain confined in the combustion chamber by maintaining the high pressure exhaust valve in a closed position feed the low pressure exhaust manifold 10 as soon as the low exhaust valve pressure of this chamber 3 opens.
- the amount of fuel introduced into each combustion chamber 3 of the engine 2 can be determined so that the fuel richness of the exhaust gas produced in this chamber 3 reaches a certain value.
- the amount of fuel introduced into each combustion chamber 3 whose high pressure exhaust valve is intended to be kept closed during the next high pressure exhaust phase is determined so that the exhaust gas produced by this room 3 has a richness of at least 1.
- the high pressure exhaust valve of at least one combustion chamber is deactivated and the gas control system is put in its configuration obliging the exhaust gases from the low-pressure exhaust manifold 10 to circulate in the recirculation line 14.
- exhaust gas circulating in the recirculation line 14 with a richness greater than 1, and this of more so if the combustion chamber 3 whose high-pressure exhaust valve is deactivated receives a large amount of fuel.
- the invention thus optimizes the flow of gas associated with the engine 2 by allowing multiple operation of the exhaust gas distribution: at low load of the engine 2, the low pressure exhaust manifold 10 is used to put in communicating the engine 2 and the reservoir 29; at medium and high load (in the atmosphere and supercharging zone), the collector 10 is used to isolate the recirculation line of the exhaust line and optimize the combustion of the engine due to the enrichment of the recirculating gases; and at high load (in the supercharging zone), the low-pressure exhaust manifold makes it possible to introduce the gases to the exhaust line, and possibly to the recirculation line.
- the recirculation line 14 may not include a catalytic device for producing dihydrogen, the dihydrogen circulating in the recirculation line 14 is then produced by the fuel enrichment in the combustion chamber 3 whose exhaust valve high pressure is off.
