- an electric compressor is a device used to supercharge a gasoline engine, diesel, gas, ethanol, operating with an electric motor. More specifically, the compressor comprises a compressor wheel driven by an electric motor. The electric compressor is placed on the air intake line of an internal combustion engine. The electric compressor plays the same role as the turbocharger, namely to increase the intake pressure of the fresh gases in the engine.
- the use of the electric compressor is envisaged for various needs, ranging from improving the overall response time of the engine air loop to increasing the maximum engine torque or the specific power of a heat engine, passing by the improvement of the depollution or the heating of the admitted gases in cold conditions.
- valves Today two types of valves can be used, the passive valves, which are not piloted, or active, which are piloted. These allow to better control the behavior of the bypass function according to the use of the compressor and thus to better manage and protect the electric compressor.
- a disadvantage of these active valves today is that it is difficult to control them in combination with the compressor in the best possible conditions. They require to have in the engine control calculator specific strategies management dedicated on the one hand to the compressor, and on the other hand to the valve itself, each communicating together in order to properly arbitrate the use of these components. It is then necessary to have an engine control computer presenting the inputs and outputs specific to the compressor and the bypass valve, as well as complex control architectures.
- the present invention therefore aims to overcome one or more of the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a motor system comprising a compressor with an improved active bypass valve.

- the combustion in the cylinders generates the work of the engine 2.
- the operation of the engine 2 is conventional: the gases are admitted into the combustion chamber 3, are compressed, burned and expelled in the form of exhaust gas.
- This engine 2 has an inlet connected to the intake duct 4 and an outlet connected to a gas exhaust circuit 10.
- the inlet duct inlet inlet 4 defines the inlet through which the fresh air enters the inlet duct 4. 1 together while the outlet 12 of the exhaust circuit 10 defines the outlet through which the exhaust gas is discharged from the assembly 1.
- the intake duct 4 opens into an intake manifold 7 which thus forms a gas inlet box in the combustion chamber 3 of the engine 2.

- This valve 8 is controlled by a motor control unit (also called ECU which means Engine Control Unit according to the English terminology), well known to those skilled in the art, and allows to regulate the amount of air introduced into the engine.
- ECU Engine Control Unit according to the English terminology
- the butterfly valve 8 is upstream of the electric compressor 5.
- the butterfly valve is downstream of the electric compressor.
- the output of the engine 2 is formed by a manifold 9 of the exhaust gas.
- the latter is connected to a gas escape channel or channel forming part of the gas exhaust system.
- the exhaust circuit 10 comprises a turbine 121, integral in rotation with the mechanical compressor 111 of the intake gases and forming with it a turbocharger.
- the turbine 121 is driven by the exhaust gas from the exhaust path, whose flow is shown schematically by the arrow F2.
- the flow passes through the catalyst 122.
- the assembly 1 comprises an electric compressor 5.
- This compressor 5 is driven by an electric motor.

- this bypass means 52 is for example a butterfly valve, a shutter valve, a valve gate, a pneumatic valve or any other type of equivalent valve and compatible with the invention.
- the branch circuit 510 in combination with the bypass means 52 generally allows intake gases arriving via the intake circuit 4 to circulate through the electric compressor or to bypass it, by closing or opening the bypass means 52
- the valve-type bypass means 52 is disposed on a bypass circuit 510, different from that of the electric compressor 5 so that when the bypass valve 52 is closed the gases Intake is directed to the duct 511 where is placed the electric compressor 5.

- the recirculation circuit 9 opens downstream of the compressor.
- the operation of such a system according to the invention is as follows. Upon activation of the electric compressor, the compressor sends a closing request to the bypass valve of the compressor 5. When requesting a deactivation of the compressor, the compressor sends a request to open the bypass valve.
- activation of the compressor is meant that the speed reference is non-zero or greater than the idle speed, and by deactivation, the fact that the speed reference is zero or of the order of the idle speed.
- the minimum control of the bypass valve of the compressor integrated in the electric compressor can be made more complex by taking for example measurements made by sensors present on the electric compressor, and for example measurements of regime, current, pressures or temperatures.

- the compressor and the bypass valve are controlled on the basis of simplified control laws.
- the compressor receives a request to increase its speed of rotation and the bypass valve receives a closing request.
- the compressor speed request becomes the idle speed and the bypass valve receives an opening instruction.
