Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a heater system for an air intake of an automotive vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a stand alone heater control system which incorporates pulse width modulation to produce a desired intake air heating cycle. [0003] Electrically powered air intake heaters are useful for heating air as it enters the intake of an internal combustion engine.
- the intake air Prior to attempting to start the engine.
- the air is heated for a predefined time based on the ambient air temperature.
- Many air intake heaters are coupled to an electrical circuit including a battery, a battery cable, a common connector, another wire, a fuse, yet another wire, a relay and a final wire to the air heater.
- the relay is typically controlled by the engine electronic control module. Based on signals received from the electronic control module, the relay supplies current to the heater or does not.
- metal supports and hardware are required to attach the components to the vehicle.
- the heater is typically sized to provide a desired wattage based on engine size and duty cycle.
- air heaters are sized such that the full battery voltage and current may be supplied to the heater for a defined period of time. This control scheme often requires the heater to be energized for approximately thirty seconds when ambient temperatures are low such as minus twenty degrees Fahrenheit. While heaters controlled and sized in this manner have been effective, improvements may exist.
- An air intake heater system of the present invention includes a controller coupled to the air heater. The controller and air heater are designed so that they can preferably be coupled to the battery using a single wire. The controller may function as a stand alone unit or may accept data from the vehicle electronic control module.
- the controller of the present invention utilizes a pulse width modulation control scheme where the total energy per unit time output from the air heater is controlled. Therefore, a larger air heater may be implemented than previously used. By implementing a larger air heater, the time required to preheat the air is drastically reduced. In addition, production efficiencies can be achieved since the same heater construction can be used for different engines.
- the air heater system of the present invention collects engine rpm data after the engine has been started. The system utilizes the data to determine the duration and quantity of energy output from the heater after engine starting to ensure smooth idle. In this manner, the total energy output by the air heater is minimized. In addition, the emissions and running characteristics during initial start up are improved.

- Figure 12 is a schematic representing another alternate embodiment air intake heater control system.
- an exemplary engine 20 is shown in communication with an air intake heater system 22 constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention.
- System 22 includes an air heater 24, a controller 26, an rpm sensor 28 and a temperature sensor 30.
- a battery 31 provides electrical energy to controller 26 and air heater 24.
- Figure 1 depicts air heater 24 positioned between engine 20 and an inlet tube 32.
- the air heater 24 is of the "drop in” type as depicted in Figure 1 (a).
- heater 24 When configured as a "drop in” heater, heater 24 includes a heating element 34 coupled to an access panel 36. Heating element 34 is positioned within an aperture 38 of inlet tube 32. In this manner, heating element 34 is placed in communication with air traveling through inlet tube 32 toward the combustion chambers of engine 20. Access panel 36 sealingly engages inlet tube 32 to restrict undesirable ingress of contaminants. Further details of the air heater can be found in U.S. Patent No. 6,073,615, which is incorporated by reference herein. [0024] An alternate air heater system 40 is depicted in Figure 2. Heater system 40 utilizes inputs provided by an electronic control module 42. Electronic control module 42 collects data from a sensor bank 44 and a diagnostic bank 46.
- Sensor bank 44 includes an oil temperature sensor, a coolant temperature sensor, an ambient temperature sensor and individual engine cylinder temperature sensors. Diagnostic bank 46 includes data reflecting battery voltage, the strength of the battery and other vehicle system values.
- Both heater systems 22 and 40 incorporate pulse width modulation of power field effect transistors (MOSFETS) to control the heater wattage.
- MOSFETS power field effect transistors
- an integrated circuit or control chip 48 controls the pulse width of MOSFET type transistors 50 based on the inputs to the system. Voltage regulators and other management devices may be required to keep the control chip and the MOSFETS stable during operation of the device. These components will maintain the voltage to the system and do miscellaneous management of the integrated circuit board for operation.
- Inputs to the chip include rpm sensor 28 and the ambient temperature sensor in sensor bank 44.
- the ambient temperature sensor will determine the on time of the heater for preheat to warm heating element 34 up to temperature to transfer heat to the engine during cranking. This can be a linear or non-linear function based on the joule values required for startup.
- a representative graph is shown in Figure 3.
- the formula for preheat time may be calculated by any one of the formulas below which could be linear or nonlinear functions. Linear functions are normally preferred when a simple model is desired such as when computation time must be kept to a minimum. Non-linear functions may be preferred when the system characteristics are more clearly understood or when it is desirable to input more or less energy than a linear model.
- the preheat time is determined by taking the temperature x, say -10 °F and inputting it into one of the equations set forth below to get a preheat time as shown in the following table:
- the controller will initially supply power to the air heater for 6.25 seconds as depicted at point A in Figure 3. If the upper non-linear function is chosen, the air heater will receive power for 8.12 seconds (point B). If the lower non-linear function is programmed within controller 26, air heater 24 will be energized at full power for 4.38 seconds as shown at point C. [0029] After the preheat duration has been completed, a signal is generated to the operator to indicate that the engine may be started. Once the engine has started, the rpm sensor will read an rpm value, signaling the controller that the post heat program can begin. Post heat refers to heating which occurs after the engine is started. The heater system starts out at a pulse width on time percentage that is determined by the ambient temperature. A representative on time percentage vs. temperature graph is depicted at Figure 4. The percentage on time is calculated by a linear or nonlinear function to determine that starting point for the pulse width percentage. The functions for determining on time percentage include:
- the controller will calculate an 81.2% pulse width as depicted at point D. Power is applied to the heater for 81.2% of the normal duty cycle of the pulses. Then, the controller decreases the pulse width and checks for a change in the engine rpm. If there is no change to the engine rpm after a decrease in the pulse width (or less than a certain percentage change, i.e., 2%), then the new pulse width is acceptable and it can be reduced again. If there is a change in the engine rpm due to the lowered pulse width, the controller will return to the original pulse width and restart the process.
- Considerations for the control of the system include the responsiveness of the rpm sensor, the frequency of sampling, the required frequency of changes to the controller to keep the system in control, and the lag time of the system to changes in the heat from the heater.
- An alternate temperature sensor (not shown) may be used to sense the temperature of the air some distance downstream of the heater. The temperature of the air downstream from the heater is more representative of the temperature of air actually entering the cylinders. If the air is controlled at a prescribed temperature that can be related to ability of the heater to start the engine, an improved starting control will result.
- FIG. 8-10 depict a process for operating a heater system of the present invention.
- the controller 26 As the ignition switch 52 is turned on, power is sent to the controller 26 and the engine ECM 42.
- the ECM 42 sends the data from the sensors and the diagnostic bank to the controller which in turn determines the correct preheat algorithm for starting the engine
- the heater will be powered to reach the necessary preheat generally at 100% power, however, it could be lower than this.
- the driver Once preheat is complete, the driver will be signaled that the engine is ready for start.
- the controller will continue to take data from the ECM and determine the required pulse width modulating duty cycle to keep the vehicle running by monitoring the temperatures and the engine RPM. [0038]
- a beginning modulation will be determined given the engine parameters at the beginning of the start. Colder temperatures will require a higher percentage of on time. Warmer temperatures equate to a lower percentage.
- Figure 11 depicts a simplified and preferred embodiment air heater system 100 for heating air that enters the intake of an internal combustion engine 102.
- Figure 11 depicts an air heater 104 positioned between engine 102 and an inlet tube 106.
- System 100 includes an engine controller 108 and a heater controller 110 in communication with one another.
- a battery 112 provides electrical energy to heater controller 110 and engine controller 108.
- An ignition switch 114 is operable to selectively supply power to engine controller 108.
- Heater controller 110 includes a MOSFET type transistor 116 and a control chip 118. MOSFET 116 is controlled using pulse width modulation as described previously in reference to heater systems 22 and 40. As such, the energy output of air heater 104 may be regulated.
- simplified system 100 does not include additional sensors to provide signals to control chip 118.
- simplified system 100 places control chip 118 in communication with engine controller 108.
- Recently manufactured automotive vehicles typically include an engine control system with a controller such as engine controller 108 as part of the original equipment. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a relatively simple and low cost air heater system 100 by utilizing preexisting engine controller 108.
- a user closes ignition switch 114 to provide battery power to engine controller 108.
- Engine controller 108 determines the appropriate preheat algorithm for starting engine 102 based on data provided by the vehicle manufacturer's sensors that are in communication with engine controller 108.
- Engine controller 108 provides a signal to control chip 118 of heater controller 110.
- heater 104 will be operated at 100% power until engine controller 108 provides a signal to heater controller 110.
- engine controller 108 will signal the vehicle operator that the engine is ready for start. The operator now turns the ignition switch to engage the starter with the engine. As the engine cranks, air will flow through inlet tube 106, through heater 104 and into engine 102. The engine controller 108 will output a signal to continue preheating or discontinue preheating depending on the engine manufacturer's specifications.
- warm air enters the combustion chamber and mixes with injected fuel to aid in an engine start. Once the engine is started, the engine controller 108 collects data from the vehicle manufacturer's sensors and determines if a post heat program should begin.
- the post heat algorithm is programmed into engine controller 108 and may use data such as coolant temperature, engine rpm, vehicle exhaust temperature data and the like as provided by the vehicle manufacturer's sensors.
- Heater controller 110 may be programmed to vary the heater wattage through the use of pulse width modulation to vary the preheat and/or post heat energy output of heater 104.
- control chip 118 may be programmed to include a control algorithm to assure proper operation of air heater 104.
- MOSFET 116 includes diagnostic capabilities.
- SmartFET This type of field effect transistor is often referred to as a "SmartFET.” Siemens and/or Infineon Technologies provide a high current power switch SmartFET known as PROFET® BTS555 TO-218AB/5 that may be used in simplified system 100.
- the PROFET® Data Sheet BTS555 is hereby incorporated by reference.
- the SmartFET provides overload protection, current limitation, short circuit protection, over temperature protection, over voltage protection and reverse polarity battery protection. Because air intake heaters are susceptible to over voltage, over current and over temperature, this control technology allows for simple system protection integrated with the heater controller. Current controller technology requires separate circuitry to provide this benefit. For example, electrical elements such as fuses, circuit breakers and relays may be required.
- FIG. 12 shows an alternate embodiment heater control system 200.
- System 200 is substantially similar to system 100 with the exception that system 200 does not utilize communications from an engine controller but collects data from two temperature sensors to define heater operation. Due to the similarity of components between system 200 and system 100, like elements will retain their previously introduced reference numerals.
- System 200 includes an upstream temperature sensor 202 to measure the temperature of air upstream of heater 104. Upstream temperature sensor 202 provides a signal to control chip 118 indicative of the temperature of the air within inlet tube 106.
- a downstream temperature sensor 204 is positioned within the intake air stream at a location after air passes by air heater 104.
- Downstream temperature sensor 204 is depicted as being mounted within engine 102. However, it should be appreciated that other mounting locations of both heater 104 and downstream temperature sensor 204 may be implemented. For example, each of upstream temperature sensor 202, air heater 104 and downstream temperature sensor 204 may all be mounted within inlet tube 106 without departing from the scope of the present invention.
- ignition switch 114 is closed to provide battery power to heater controller 110.
- Heater controller 110 determines the correct preheat algorithm for starting the engine given data provided by upstream temperature sensor 202. If preheat is required, heater controller 110 energizes a "wait to start" light 206 that is mounted in a location visible by the operator. Heater 104 operates until heater controller 110 determines that the preheat cycle is complete.
- Air heater 104 may be operated at substantially any percentage of power up to 100% as may be desirable.
- heater controller 110 signals that the engine is ready for start by de-energizing wait to start light 206.
- the vehicle operator turns the ignition switch further to rotate the engine with a starter motor.
- heater controller 110 may continue to preheat or discontinue preheat until the engine is started. Either mode of operation may be designed into the algorithm within heater controller 110. As the engine is turned over, air will flow through inlet tube 106, through heater 104 and into engine 102.
- heater controller 110 uses a post heat algorithm to analyze data from upstream temperature sensor 202 and/or downstream temperature sensor 204 to determine the post heat duration.
- the post heat algorithm may be developed in a variety of different configurations.
- heater 104 is operated at different power levels for various durations of time until the air temperature sensed by upstream temperature sensor 202 is equal to a certain value.
- This control scheme allows the temperature of air flowing downstream of air heater 104 to remain substantially constant throughout engine operation.
- System 200 incorporates this primary control algorithm within the programming of heater controller 110.
- heater controller 110 may be programmed to vary the heater wattage through the use of pulse width modulation of MOSFET 116.
- the post heat algorithm used within system 200 evaluates the signals output by upstream temperature sensor 202 and downstream temperature sensor 204 immediately after engine start.
- the temperature measured by downstream temperature sensor 204 is compared with a target intake air temperature.
- the target intake air temperature is previously defined and is programmed as part of the post heat algorithm.
- a desired heater wattage output is determined based on the difference between the air temperature located at downstream temperature sensor 204 and the target temperature.
- An appropriate pulse width modulation cycle is output to heater 104 to produce the desired wattage.
- the output of heater 104 is adjusted.
- the pulse width modulation cycle provided to heater 104 is modified to reduce the wattage output of the heater.
- the algorithm within system 200 may be configured to continue post heat at a desired reduced level for a defined period of time once the temperature of upstream temperature sensor 202 equals the target temperature.
- a system similar to system 200 may include preheat and post heat algorithms to evaluate data provided by sensors collecting information such as coolant temperature, engine speed, ambient air temperature and engine exhaust data.
