Abstract

The ambient air temperature is measured (2) and a check made to see if it is less than a minimum value (Tmin). If so the heating process for the air drawn into the induction system is activated. This is in the form of a glow plug that is supplied with current for a specific period. The required temperature value (Tmax) and the maximum time (tmax), dependent upon the initial air temperature are determined. After initialisation (7) checks are continuously made until either the maximum time or maximum temperature have been met. At this point the heating is switched off and engine ignition activated. USE/ADVANTAGE - Improved control of preheating air with safe control of heater.

Description

509 248 2 medietemperaturen under varmkörningsfasen, exempelvis genom för stor eftersläpning på grund av ett ogynnsamt monteringsställe eller vid en uppträdande störning hos temperaturgivaren skulle flaman- läggningen förbli i drift allt för länge. I detta fall avstängs flamanläggningen i beroende av den maximala gångtiden som i sin tur är beroende av starttemperaturen. 509 248 2 medium temperature during the hot-running phase, for example due to excessive lag due to an unfavorable mounting location or in the event of a disturbance at the temperature sensor, the flame system would remain in operation for far too long. In this case, the flame system is switched off depending on the maximum running time, which in turn is dependent on the starting temperature.

Uppfinningen beskrivs närmare nedan under hänvisning till bifogade ritning, på vilken fig 1 visar ett funktionsschema hos utföringsexemplet enligt uppfinningen och fig 2 visar ett utfö- ringsexempel på en tabell för den maximala gångtiden hos flaman- läggningen och temperaturtröskeln med avseende på starttempera- turen.The invention is described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 shows a functional diagram of the embodiment according to the invention and Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of a table for the maximum running time of the flame system and the temperature threshold with respect to the starting temperature.

Vid det i fig 1 visade förfarandet uppmäts efter start vid blocket 1 först starttemperaturen Tstart i blocket 2. Detta kan ske genom en mätning av temperaturen hos omgivningsluften eller genom mätning av kylmedietemperaturen T före förbränningsmotorns start.In the method shown in Fig. 1, after starting at block 1, the starting temperature T is first measured in block 2. This can be done by measuring the temperature of the ambient air or by measuring the coolant temperature T before starting the internal combustion engine.

I blocket 3 kontrolleras sedan om starttemperaturen T t översti- star ger en förutbestämd lägsta temperatur T Om så är fallet krävs min' icke någon förvärmning av insugningsluften och förfarandet kan avslutas i blocket 11. Om däremot starttemperaturen T t under- star stiger den förutbestämda lägsta temperaturen T startas flaman- läggningen i blocket 4. För detta ändamål tâïåförs glödstiftet ström. Efter denna förvärmningstid kan förbränningsmotorn startas, varvid samtidigt bränsle insprutas i brännkammaren.In block 3 it is then checked whether the starting temperature T t exceeds a predetermined minimum temperature T If this is the case, no preheating of the intake air is required and the process can be terminated in block 11. If, on the other hand, the starting temperature T t falls below the predetermined minimum temperature T, the flame system is started in block 4. For this purpose, the glow plug is supplied with current. After this preheating time, the internal combustion engine can be started, at the same time fuel is injected into the combustion chamber.

I blocken 5 och 6 bestäms sedan den för förfarandet erforder- liga temperaturtröskeln Tma och den maximala gångtiden tma i x x beroende av starttemperaturen Tstart. För detta ändamål används exempelvis en uppställning i vilken temperaturtröskeln Tmax och den maximala gångtiden t har angivits i beroende av starttemperatu- max ren T Ett enkelt exempel på en sådan uppställning utgör den start' i fig 2 visade tabellen. I denna har för de olika områdena för starttemperaturen T angivits de förutbestämda temperatur- start trösklarna Tmax och maximala gångtiderna tmax. Härvid ökar både temperaturtröskeln T och den maximala gångtiden t med max sjunkande starttemperatur T max start. Detta har den fördelen att flam- anläggningen är tillslagen kortare tid vid högre starttemperaturer Tstart tionsdelarna. Vid lägre starttemperaturer Tstart är flamanlägg- vilket leder till en ökning av livslängden hos konstruk- ningen med nödvändighet tillslagen längre tid för uppnâende av en 509 248 3 bättre gång hos motorn och för minskning av uppkomsten av vit rök.In blocks 5 and 6, the temperature threshold Tma required for the procedure and the maximum running time tma in x x are then determined depending on the starting temperature Tstart. For this purpose, for example, an arrangement is used in which the temperature threshold Tmax and the maximum running time t have been specified depending on the starting temperature T. A simple example of such an arrangement is the start 'shown in Fig. 2. In this, the predetermined temperature start thresholds Tmax and the maximum running times tmax have been specified for the different areas for the starting temperature T. In this case, both the temperature threshold T and the maximum running time t increase with the maximum decreasing start temperature T max start. This has the advantage that the flame system is switched on for a shorter time at higher starting temperatures. At lower starting temperatures Tstart is a flame system, which leads to an increase in the service life of the design, necessarily a longer time switched on to achieve a 509 248 3 better running of the engine and to reduce the generation of white smoke.

Sedan nu maximivärdena Tmax och tmax bestämts utlöses i blocket 7 en tidmätning. I anslutning härtill kontrolleras i blocket 8 om den hittillsvarande gångtiden t har uppnått den maximala gångtiden tmax. Om så är fallet sker en förflyttning till blocket 10 där flamstartanläggningen avstängs. I annat fall, d v s om den maximala gångtiden tma ännu icke har löpt ut, kontrolle- ras i blocket 9 om kylmedietempeïaturen T uppnått den förutbestämda temperaturtröskel Tmax. Om så är fallet sker för avstängning av flamanläggningen en övergång till blocket 10. Därefter avslutas förfarandet i blocket 11. Om däremot i blocket 9 kylmedietemperatu- ren T fortfarande ligger under temperaturtröskeln Tmax sker en återgång till början av blocket 8. Blocken 8 och 9 passeras ända tills antingen.den.maximala gångtiden tmax eller temperaturtröskeln Tmax för kylmediet har uppnåtts.Now that the maximum values Tmax and tmax have been determined, a time measurement is triggered in block 7. In connection with this, it is checked in block 8 whether the current running time t has reached the maximum running time tmax. If this is the case, a movement takes place to the block 10 where the flame starting system is switched off. Otherwise, i.e. if the maximum running time tma has not yet expired, it is checked in block 9 whether the refrigerant temperature T has reached the predetermined temperature threshold Tmax. If this is the case, for the shutdown of the flame system a transition to block 10 takes place. Thereafter, the procedure in block 11 ends. If, on the other hand, in block 9 the refrigerant temperature T is still below the temperature threshold Tmax, a return to block 8 is made. until either the maximum running time tmax or the temperature threshold Tmax for the refrigerant has been reached.

Kombinationen av de bägge avstängningsbetingelserna erbjuder den fördelen att förfarandet fungerar med säkerhet också vid ett bortfall av temperaturgivaren då i detta fall flamanläggningen avstängs efter utlöpandet av den maximala gångtiden t Däremot avstängs flamanläggningen vid högre varvtal och beläïíhingen av motorn genom temperaturgivaren, varigenom onödigt långa driftstider hos flamanläggningen kan undvikas.The combination of the two shut-off conditions offers the advantage that the process works safely even in the event of a failure of the temperature sensor, in which case the flame system is switched off after the maximum running time has elapsed. the flame system can be avoided.

Vid detekteringen av kylmedietemperaturen T måste man ta hänsyn till att i beroende av inbyggnadsstället för temperaturgi- varen måste icke nödvändigtvis den uppmätta kylmedietemperaturen T överensstämma med den faktiska kylmedietemperaturen. Denna verkan kan vid detta förfarande emellertid kompenseras därigenom att man tar hänsyn till denna temperaturskillnad också vid bestämningen av temperaturtröskeln Tmax.When detecting the coolant temperature T, it must be taken into account that, depending on the installation location of the temperature sensor, the measured coolant temperature T does not necessarily have to correspond to the actual coolant temperature. However, this effect can be compensated in this process by taking this temperature difference into account also in determining the temperature threshold Tmax.
