- This invention relates to an internal combustion engine with a supercharger.
- Patent Document 1 discloses an internal combustion engine with a supercharger.
- This conventional internal combustion engine includes a throttle valve disposed in an intake passage downstream of the compressor, a first communication passage communicating the intake passage downstream of the throttle valve and the crank chamber, and upstream of the compressor.
- a second communication passage that communicates the intake passage on the side and the crank chamber.
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a supercharged internal combustion engine that can effectively prevent deposits from being deposited on a compressor.
- the present invention is an internal combustion engine with a supercharger, and includes a supercharger, a communication path, and an oil supply device.
- the supercharger includes a compressor in the intake passage.
- the communication passage connects a portion of the intake passage upstream of the compressor impeller and the crank chamber of the internal combustion engine or the engine internal space leading to the crank chamber.
- the oil supply device supplies oil to the internal passage of the compressor through which intake air flows. This oil supply device increases the amount of oil supplied to the internal passage when the deposit accumulation operation condition that causes the deposit accumulation inside the compressor is satisfied, compared to the case where the deposit accumulation operation condition is not satisfied. .
- the above-described deposit accumulation operation condition corresponds to an operation condition in which an operation state in which deposits are likely to accumulate inside the compressor has arrived and deposits are expected to accumulate due to the continuation of this operation state.
- the deposit accumulation operation condition also corresponds to an operation condition in which it is estimated that deposits are actually accumulated inside the compressor. According to the present invention, when such a deposit accumulation operation condition is satisfied, the amount of oil supplied to the internal passage of the compressor is increased as compared with a case where the deposit accumulation operation condition is not satisfied.
- an amount corresponding to the pressure difference between the crank chamber pressure and the intake air pressure upstream of the compressor is used via the communication passage.
- Blow-by gas is introduced into the intake passage upstream of the compressor. That is, according to the present invention, when the deposit accumulation operation condition is satisfied, the amount of oil contained in the blow-by gas introduced into the intake passage when the deposit accumulation operation condition is not satisfied in this way, The amount of oil supplied to the internal passage of the compressor is increased. However, it is assumed that the blow-by gas is not introduced into the intake passage through the communication passage due to some control. Accordingly, in the present invention, zero may be included as the amount of oil supplied to the internal passage when the deposit accumulation operation condition is not satisfied. For this reason, in the present invention, the mode of oil increase when the deposit accumulation operation condition is satisfied is an aspect of increasing the oil amount (zero) when the deposit accumulation operation condition is not satisfied, that is, the deposit accumulation operation condition. A mode of executing oil supply to the internal passage when oil is not supplied to the internal passage at the time of establishment is included.

- the deposit accumulation operation condition in the present invention may be established when the temperature of the compressor is equal to or higher than a predetermined value and the suit concentration in the oil is equal to or higher than the predetermined value. Since one cause of the deposit is a suit contained in the oil, the deposit is more easily deposited if the suit concentration is high. Further, as described above, the deposit is more easily deposited when the temperature of the compressor is high. Therefore, the establishment of the deposit accumulation operation condition can be suitably determined based on the compressor temperature and the suit concentration.

- the oil mist that has landed on the diffuser 18b6 is further evaporated by being exposed to high-temperature intake air. As a result, a part of the oil mist that has landed adheres to the diffuser portion 18b6 and becomes a deposit, and the remaining oil mist flows downstream without being fixed.
- the deposit accumulation operation condition that causes the deposit accumulation in the compressor 18b due to the oil contained in the blow-by gas is satisfied, the deposit accumulation operation condition is not satisfied. Compared to the case, the amount of oil supplied to the internal passage of the compressor 18b is increased.

- FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a control routine executed by the ECU 60 in order to realize the characteristic control of the first embodiment of the present invention. This routine is repeatedly executed every predetermined control cycle.
- step 100 it is first determined whether or not the negative pressure used by the negative pressure utilization device is insufficient (step 100).
- the determination in step 100 can be performed by the following method, for example. That is, the negative pressure value required by the brake booster 104 is calculated using a map or the like set in advance based on the depression force or opening (depression amount) of the brake pedal detected by the brake sensor 67. Similarly, for other negative pressure utilizing devices (for example, actuators for driving variable nozzles), based on the deviation between the current opening (for example, the opening of the variable nozzle) and the target opening, A negative pressure value required by the negative pressure using device is calculated using a preset map or the like.
- a negative pressure value that can be secured when the atmosphere release valve 100 is opened by a predetermined opening is calculated using a preset map or the like. In this step 100, based on such information, when the negative pressure value required by each negative pressure utilization device is larger than the negative pressure value that can be secured when the atmosphere release valve 100 is opened, the negative pressure utilization device It is determined that the negative pressure used by is insufficient.
- step 102 When a negative pressure deficiency is recognized in step 100, a normal operation mode in which the atmosphere release valve 100 is fully closed is selected as the control mode of the atmosphere release valve 100 (step 102).
- step 104 it is then determined whether the compressor efficiency is equal to or less than a predetermined value (step 104).
- the determination in this step 104 can be performed by the following method, for example. That is, for example, when the deviation between the target boost pressure calculated by the engine speed and the engine load (fuel injection amount) and the actual boost pressure detected by the intake pressure sensor 38 is a predetermined value or more, It can be determined that the compressor efficiency has dropped below a predetermined value.
- the opening control of the variable nozzle is performed using PID control in order to make the actual supercharging pressure coincide with the target supercharging pressure, the value of the I term (integral term) is larger than a predetermined value.

- ⁇ c T1 ((P3 / P1) ( ⁇ -1) / ⁇ - 1) / (T3-T1)
- T3 T1 ((P3 / P1) ( ⁇ -1) / ⁇ - 1) / ⁇ c + T1
- P3 is the compressor outlet pressure
- P1 is the compressor inlet pressure or atmospheric pressure
- T1 is the compressor outlet temperature.
- the target compressor outlet pressure (intake manifold pressure), or the pressure ratio (P3 / P1) of the compressor 18b defined by the relationship between the torque (fuel injection amount) and the engine speed is realized
- the compressor outlet temperature T3 calculated by the equation is higher than a predetermined value, it may be determined that the compressor efficiency ⁇ c has decreased to a predetermined value or less.
- the pressure ratio (P3 / P1) of the compressor 18b and the compressor inlet temperature T1 are constant, the compressor outlet temperature T3 increases as the compressor efficiency ⁇ c decreases. For this reason, based on said formula, it can be judged that compressor efficiency (eta) c fell below the predetermined value.
- the deposit accumulation operating condition that causes the deposit accumulation in the compressor 18b is satisfied. Is done. It is assumed that the deposit accumulation operation condition once established continues to be established until the compressor efficiency reaches (recovers) another predetermined value larger than the predetermined value.
- step 104 If no reduction in compressor efficiency is recognized in step 104, the normal operation mode is selected (step 102).
- a decrease in compressor efficiency is recognized, that is, when the deposit accumulation operation condition is satisfied, a deposit cleaning mode in which the atmosphere release valve 100 is opened by a predetermined opening is executed (step 106).
- the opening degree of the atmosphere release valve 100 By adjusting the opening degree of the atmosphere release valve 100, the amount of air supplied to the negative pressure pump 96 can be adjusted. Thereby, the amount of oil mist discharged from the negative pressure pump 96 and further the amount of blow-by gas inside the engine can be adjusted.
- the opening degree of the air release valve 100 controlled in this step 106 is within the range where the oil consumption is the minimum necessary, and deposit accumulation prevention (here, deposit adhesion (generation) and growth prevention, and The oil mist necessary for the removal of the deposited deposit by cleaning) is set in advance so as to be supplied upstream of the compressor 18b. Further, the opening degree of the air release valve 100 may be changed according to the degree of deposit accumulation to be determined.
- step 108 it is determined whether or not both of the following two requirements are satisfied. That is, as a first requirement, is there a brake request (that is, a request for the brake booster 104 to use the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure pump) in a state where the air release valve 100 is opened by the processing of step 106? Whether or not is determined using the brake sensor 67. Further, as a second requirement, it is determined whether or not the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure pump 96 with the atmosphere release valve opened is smaller than the negative pressure that satisfies the brake requirement. As a result, when the determination in step 108 is established, the atmosphere release valve 100 is immediately closed by returning to the normal operation mode. When the brake request is lost, the opening degree of the air release valve 100 is returned to the opening degree before closing.
- a brake request that is, a request for the brake booster 104 to use the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure pump
- the control mode of the atmosphere release valve 100 is not limited to the above.
- the air release valve 100 may be throttled by an opening degree necessary to resolve the negative pressure shortage at that time. That is, the opening degree of the air release valve 100 may be feedback-controlled so as to ensure a target negative pressure that does not cause a negative pressure shortage.
- FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the gas flow when the atmosphere release valve 100 is opened. Since the negative pressure pump 96 of the present embodiment uses the rotational force of the camshaft 112, it is always driven during the operation of the internal combustion engine 10. For this reason, when the atmosphere release valve 100 is opened, oil mist is supplied together with fresh air into the engine (inner space 90) by the action of the negative pressure pump 96 as shown in FIG.
- the amount of oil mist contained in the blow-by gas introduced into the intake passage 24 upstream of the compressor 18b via the communication passage 52 can be increased, and the amount of blow-by gas itself can be increased. Can do.
- the blow-by gas containing oil mist introduced into the intake passage 24 is supplied to the internal passage of the compressor 18b.
- FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the deposit accumulation preventing effect by supplying a large amount of oil mist to the compressor 18b.
- the deposit accumulation preventing effect as shown in FIG. 11 can be obtained. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, a case is assumed where oil B having a small particle diameter that loses fluidity and becomes a deposit is left in front of fluid A having fluidity. To do. In this case, when the oil A comes into contact with the oil B, the fluid oil A takes in the oil B and becomes huge. And the oil which became huge reaches
- the amount of oil mist in the blow-by gas can be increased for the following three reasons. That is, as a first reason, a negative pressure pump 96 in which a gas introduction passage 98 opened to the atmosphere is connected to the intake port 96a, and an atmosphere release valve 100 that opens and closes the gas introduction passage 98 are provided. Thereby, when the air release valve 100 is opened, oil mist can be supplied into the engine from the exhaust port 96b together with fresh air compressed by the negative pressure pump 96. The second reason is that exhaust of the negative pressure pump 96 is introduced toward the internal space 90 where the valve train is disposed.
- the oil mist discharged from the negative pressure pump 96 and the fresh air are generated by the movement of the valve system member such as the rotation of the camshaft 112, and the oil adhered to the wall surface of the baffle plate 114. Can be supplied to the internal space 90.
- the third reason is that exhaust from the negative pressure pump 96 is introduced into the internal space 90 communicating with the crank chamber 80. Thereby, the quantity of blow-by gas which distribute
- FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the relationship between the amount of oil in blow-by gas and the oil particle size.
- the internal combustion engine 10 having the above-described configuration, when the air release valve 100 is opened and air is introduced into the engine from the negative pressure pump 96, during normal operation (when the air release valve 100 is closed), In comparison, as shown in FIG. 12, the amount of oil in the blow-by gas can be greatly increased regardless of the oil particle size. More specifically, according to the internal combustion engine 10 including the negative pressure pump 96 that is supplied with oil and can discharge oil together with exhaust (fresh air in the present embodiment), the amount of blow-by gas is simply increased. Compared with the case, the amount of oil in blow-by gas can be increased effectively.
- FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the relationship between the compressor efficiency reduction margin and the engine operation time. As shown in FIG. 13, during normal operation in which no countermeasure is taken against deposit accumulation, the compressor efficiency decreases with deposit accumulation as the engine operation time elapses. On the other hand, according to the internal combustion engine 10 provided with the negative pressure pump 96, it is possible to prevent deposits from being generated in a state where the air release valve 100 is opened and air is introduced into the engine from the negative pressure pump 96. Thus, a reduction in compressor efficiency can be prevented.
- FIG. 14 is a diagram showing changes in compressor efficiency due to opening and closing of the air release valve 100.
- deposits are gradually accumulated in the compressor 18b, thereby reducing the compressor efficiency.
- the internal combustion engine 10 provided with the negative pressure pump 96 it is possible to prevent a decrease in compressor efficiency as described above by opening the air release valve 100.
- opening the air release valve 100 uniformly is not an appropriate measure because the oil consumption increases.
- a negative pressure pump is mounted on an internal combustion engine for driving a brake or an actuator (the negative pressure using device).
- the gas inlet passage 98 opened and closed by the atmosphere release valve 100 is communicated with the intake port 96a of such a negative pressure pump 96, and the oil supplied from the camshaft 112 (one example) is exhausted (new
- the negative pressure pump 96 is configured to be introduced into the engine together with the gas.
- the amount of blow-by gas can be adjusted with high accuracy by adjusting the opening of the atmosphere release valve 100. That is, the amount of blow-by gas can be adjusted with a minute amount without increasing the amount of blow-by gas more than necessary. Accordingly, it is possible to clean the deposit by increasing the amount of oil brought into the compressor 18b while keeping the oil consumption within a necessary minimum range.
- only air passes through the atmosphere release valve 100 that adjusts the amount of blow-by gas, so there is no possibility of the valve being blocked or broken.
- the negative pressure used by the negative pressure utilization device is insufficient prior to determining whether or not the deposit accumulation operation condition is satisfied. That is, rather than determining whether or not the atmosphere release valve 100 should be opened for deposit cleaning, the determination as to whether or not the opening of the atmosphere release valve 100 should be prohibited in order to prevent a negative pressure shortage is performed preferentially. Is done. Thereby, the malfunctioning of the negative pressure utilization apparatus due to the lack of negative pressure can be reliably prevented.
- the internal combustion engine 10 of this embodiment includes an oil separator chamber 116 that functions as a collision type oil separator.
- an oil separator chamber 116 that functions as a collision type oil separator.
- the oil separator having such a configuration, for example, when a cyclone type oil separator is used, if the blowby gas flow rate is increased, the oil collection rate is improved due to an increase in centrifugal force. Further, when a filter type or electrostatic type oil separator is used, the oil collection rate becomes too high. Therefore, for these types of oil separators, the negative pressure pump 96 is used when the deposit accumulation operation condition is satisfied. It can be said that it is unsuitable for increasing the amount of oil mist using the.
- the collision-type oil separator chamber 116 collects oil by simply causing blow-by gas to collide with the wall surface. For this reason, it is possible to obtain the characteristic that the oil collection rate does not substantially change regardless of the blow-by gas flow rate. This makes it possible to more effectively practice deposit cleaning and accumulation prevention by increasing the amount of oil mist using the negative pressure pump 96 as compared with the case where other types of oil separators are provided. However, cleaning of deposits and prevention of deposition can be practiced even when an oil separator of a type other than the collision type is used.
- the internal combustion engine 10 of the present embodiment it is possible to reliably and sufficiently ensure the amount of oil necessary for preventing deposit adhesion and cleaning only by opening the air release valve 100. That is, when it is necessary to prevent deposit accumulation, the deposit accumulation preventing operation can be performed reliably. Further, only one valve (atmospheric release valve 100) is necessary for such control, and the control itself can be facilitated.
- the configuration (negative pressure pump 96) generally provided in the internal combustion engine 10 is used, so that substantial addition of the device is required. Without this, and using simple control, the amount of oil mist in the blow-by gas can be increased by an amount that cannot be realized by simply increasing the amount of blow-by gas. And deposit accumulation in the inside of compressor 18b can be prevented effectively.
- the air release valve 100 corresponds to the “opening / closing means” in the present invention.

It is supposed to be. In addition, the atmosphere release valve 100 is opened (deposit cleaning mode is executed) for deposit cleaning (cleaning).
- the gas introduction passage is opened by opening the atmosphere release valve 100 in order to prevent the formation and growth of deposits. 98 was opened. That is, in the present embodiment, the deposit accumulation operation condition is established when there is a concern about deposit accumulation before the deposit actually grows based on the oil deterioration and the establishment of the deposit accumulation mode (increase in compressor temperature). It is supposed to be.
- the gas introduction passage 98 when the negative pressure used by the negative pressure utilization device is insufficient, the gas introduction passage 98 is prevented from being opened by prohibiting the opening of the atmosphere release valve 100. Furthermore, also in this embodiment, when a brake request is issued while the gas introduction passage 98 is opened, the gas introduction passage 98 is immediately shut off by closing the atmosphere release valve 100.

It can be executed by determining whether or not.
- step 200 When it is determined in step 200 that the oil has not deteriorated above the predetermined level, it is determined whether or not the negative pressure used by the negative pressure utilization device is insufficient (step 100). As a result, if a negative pressure shortage is recognized, the atmosphere release valve 100 is fully closed (step 202).
- step 204 it is then determined whether or not the deposit accumulation mode is established (step 204).
- the deposit tends to be deposited when the temperature inside the compressor 18b is high. Therefore, in this step 204, when the compressor internal temperature T3 is calculated by the following method, and the calculated compressor internal temperature T3 is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, a deposit accumulation mode that allows easy deposit accumulation is established. Determined.
- the ECU 60 stores a map (not shown) that predetermines the compressor internal temperature T3 in relation to the engine speed, the engine load (fuel injection amount), and the pressure ratio of the compressor 18b (outlet pressure P3 / inlet pressure P1).
- the compressor internal temperature T3 is calculated with reference to such a map.
- the outlet pressure P3 and the inlet pressure P1 of the compressor 18b can be acquired using, for example, an intake manifold pressure and an atmospheric pressure, respectively.
- the determination method for determining whether or not the deposit accumulation mode is established is a simple method of determining whether or not the outlet temperature of the compressor 18b detected by the second intake air temperature sensor 36 is equal to or higher than a predetermined value. May be.
- step 204 If it is determined in step 204 that the deposit accumulation mode is not established, the atmosphere release valve 100 is fully closed (step 202).
- the air release valve 100 is opened by a predetermined opening (deposit growth suppression mode is executed) (step 206).
- the opening degree of the air release valve 100 in this step 206 is within the minimum oil consumption range, and the oil mist necessary for preventing deposit accumulation (here, prevention of deposit generation and growth) is reduced by the compressor 18b. It is preset so as to be supplied upstream.

According to the routine shown in FIG. 15 described above, as shown in FIG. 16A, when it is not in the deposit accumulation operating condition (when the oil has not deteriorated more than a predetermined level or when it is not in the deposit accumulation mode).
- the air release valve 100 is fully closed. According to the above routine, when the deposit accumulation operation condition is satisfied (the oil has deteriorated by a predetermined level or more and the deposit accumulation mode is established, there is a concern that the deposit accumulates in the compressor 18b. In the case), the air release valve 100 is opened on condition that there is no shortage of negative pressure.

According to the routine shown in FIG. 17 described above, when the deposit accumulation operation condition is satisfied (when the oil is deteriorated by a predetermined level or more and the deposit accumulation mode is established), the routine shown in FIG. As shown, the atmosphere release valve 100 is opened intermittently. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 18B, the amount of oil mist supplied to the compressor 18b changes according to the opening and closing of the air release valve 100 as the operating time elapses, and the amount of deposit deposited on the diffuser 18b6 Changes.
- the deposit amount increases with the passage of operation time. After that, when the air release valve 100 is opened, the deposit accumulation amount decreases as the operation time elapses due to the deposit cleaning effect described above. However, when deposit deposition proceeds to some extent (when the deposit grows), the deposit adheres strongly to the diffuser portion 18b6. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the interval of the valve opening period when the air release valve 100 is intermittently opened is based on the results of experiments conducted in advance, and the effect of cleaning the deposit by introducing a large amount of oil mist is exhibited.

The air release valve 100 is opened and closed after detecting conditions that are likely to accumulate more accurately. Thereby, reduction of oil consumption and prevention of deposit accumulation on the compressor 18b can be more suitably achieved as compared with the second embodiment described above. Also, this method is advantageous in terms of intake air loss and cost because it does not require the addition of a dedicated temperature sensor.
- a method for determining whether or not the deposit accumulation mode is established may be, for example, the following method. That is, the position of the local high temperature part in the compressor inlet 18b2 is previously determined by experiment, and a temperature sensor is attached at a position based on the result of the experiment. And the temperature T1local of the said local high temperature part is acquired during the driving

- An oil mist generating device having an air release valve 100 is provided.
- the internal combustion engine 190 of the present embodiment includes an oil supply device configured as follows instead of an oil supply device having an oil mist generating device including a negative pressure pump 96.
- the internal combustion engine 190 is basically configured in the same manner as the internal combustion engines 10 and 120 except for the configuration related to the oil supply device.

- An oil separator 54 for separating and collecting oil mist contained in the blow-by gas is installed in the middle of the communication path 192.
- the oil separator 54 is assumed to be a cyclone type oil separator. More specifically, the cyclone-type oil separator 54 is a system that separates and collects oil from blow-by gas by colliding oil mist with a wall surface inside the separator using centrifugal force. The oil collected in the oil separator 54 is returned to the oil pan 78.
- a bypass passage 56 is provided around the oil separator 54 so that blow-by gas can bypass the oil separator 54.
- the bypass passage 56 branches from the communication passage 192 at the upstream connection portion 192a upstream of the blow-by gas flow from the oil separator 54, and at the downstream connection portion 192b downstream of the oil separator 54 in the blow-by gas flow. It is configured as a passage that merges with the communication passage 192.

Two operation positions can be selected. Therefore, by controlling the switching valve 58 to the first operating position as the blow-by gas flow path configuration, an “oil collecting flow path configuration” in which the blow-by gas passes through the oil separator 54 is realized. By controlling to the second operating position, it is possible to realize a “non-oil collecting flow path configuration” in which blow-by gas flows through the bypass passage 56 without passing through the oil separator 54.

- a cyclone type like the oil separator 54 of the present embodiment can be cited.
- the reason is that other filter-type and electric oil separators have the following disadvantages. That is, in the filter-type oil separator, if the oil mist collection rate is increased, pressure loss increases as a contradiction, and maintenance of the filter that collects oil is required. For this reason, it is not suitable for mounting on an internal combustion engine.
- the electric oil separator is generally large in size, high in cost, and difficult to apply to automobiles.
- oil mist collection using a cyclone type oil separator has the following characteristics. That is, when the oil mist in the blow-by gas is collected using the cyclone type oil separator 54, as shown in FIG. 36, the oil mist having a large particle diameter is effectively collected. Oil mist having a small particle size is not collected as the particle size becomes small. This is because when the particle size of the oil mist is reduced, the centrifugal force is weakened so that the oil mist does not easily collide with the inner wall surface of the oil separator 54.
- an oil mist (large oil particle size oil) contained in the blow-by gas supplied to the intake passage 24 upstream of the compressor 18b is selected.
- the amount of mist can be increased.

- FIG. 37 (A) the influence of the oil mist particle size on the ease of deposit deposition will be described.
- the mass is large, so that the fluidity is kept high even if it slightly evaporates inside the compressor 18b. For this reason, even when the oil mist having a large particle size is landed on the diffuser portion 18b6, the oil mist easily reaches the outlet of the diffuser portion 18b6 before fixing.
- an oil mist having a small particle size since it does not have fluidity (low) after landing on the diffuser portion 18b6, it adheres to the outlet of the diffuser portion 18b6 and becomes a deposit.
- the oil mist having a large particle size is effective in cleaning the diffuser portion 18b6 and suppressing the formation and growth (deposition progress) of deposits by the oil mist having a small particle size. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 37 (B), the small particle size that loses fluidity in the front of the large particle size oil mist A that has landed on the diffuser portion 18b6, and becomes a deposit as it is. The case where the oil mist B is landing is assumed. In this case, when the oil mist A having a large particle size and the oil mist B having a small particle size come into contact with each other, the oil mist A having a large particle size takes in the oil mist B having a small particle size and becomes large.
- the enlarged oil mist having a large particle diameter reaches the outlet of the diffuser portion 18b6 while having fluidity, and is discharged downstream.
- the presence of the oil mist having a large particle diameter is effective in cleaning the diffuser portion 18b6 and suppressing the generation and growth of deposits by the oil mist having a small particle diameter.

Was determined to be true.
- the switching valve 58 is controlled so that the above-described non-oil collecting flow path configuration for preventing the blow-by gas from passing through the oil separator 54 is obtained. I tried to do it.
- FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing a control routine executed by ECU 194 to suppress deposit accumulation on compressor 18b in the seventh embodiment of the present invention.

- the routine shown in FIG. 39 first, it is determined whether or not the oil has deteriorated over a predetermined level (step 200).
- step 600 If it is determined in step 200 that the oil has not deteriorated more than the predetermined level, the oil separator 54 is used normally, that is, the switching valve 58 is controlled so that the oil collecting flow path configuration is selected. (Step 600).
- step 200 determines whether or not the deposit accumulation mode is established.
- the method described above as a modified example of the second embodiment may be used in addition to the method of step 204.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 204 that the deposit accumulation mode is established following the establishment of the determination in step 200, that is, the current operation condition is caused by the oil mist contained in the blow-by gas (in the diffuser 18b) If it can be determined that the deposit deposition operation condition is concerned that the deposit is deposited on the part 18b6), the deposit growth suppression mode of the present embodiment is executed (step 602).

Since the oil separator 54 is used, the switching valve 58 is controlled so that an oil collecting flow path configuration is obtained. According to the above routine, in order to prevent the oil separator 54 from being used when the deposit accumulation operation condition is satisfied (when the oil is deteriorated by a predetermined level or more and the deposit accumulation mode is established). The switching valve 58 is controlled so that a non-oil collecting flow path configuration is obtained.
- FIG. 41 is a diagram showing the relationship between deposit accumulation on the compressor 18b and the change in compressor efficiency ⁇ c in comparison with whether or not oil is collected by the oil separator 54.

- the oil separator 54 when the deposit accumulation operating condition is satisfied (when the oil is deteriorated by a predetermined level or more and the deposit accumulation mode is established), the oil separator 54 is not used.
- the separator 54 When the separator 54 is in use, large-diameter oil mist collected by the oil separator 54 is charged into the compressor 18b. That is, the amount of oil mist is increased as compared with the case where the deposit accumulation operation condition is not satisfied (when the oil collecting flow path configuration is selected). Thereby, the diffuser part 18b6 can be cleaned, and the generation and growth of deposit deposition can be prevented. Thereby, as shown to FIG. 40 (B), a deposit cannot accumulate and it can prevent compressor efficiency (eta) c falling.
- the oil separator 54 is not used for preventing the deposit accumulation only under the deposit accumulation operating condition where the deposit accumulation on the compressor 18b is a concern.
- the flow path form of blow-by gas is switched. As a result, it is possible to suitably achieve both reduction of oil consumption and prevention of deposit accumulation on the compressor 18b.
- FIG. 42 is a diagram for explaining variations in the location of the switching valve 58.
- the arrangement of the switching valve 58 shown in FIG. 42 (A) is that of the seventh embodiment described above.

- the blow-by gas flow is reduced by opening and closing the bypass passage by the switching valve.
- the flow path form can be switched.
- FIGS. 42 (A) and 42 (B) show the preferred arrangement location of the switching valve 58.
- the reason is that, in the case of the configuration shown in FIG. 42C, oil that is not collected by the oil separator 54 always hits the switching valve regardless of whether or not the oil separator 54 is used.
- the switching valve 58 is exposed to the oil not collected by the oil separator 54. Only when the form is selected.
- a switching valve (58) is attached by oil adhesion. The risk of sticking can be reduced.
- the oil separator 54 corresponds to the “oil collecting means” in the present invention
- the switching valve 58 controlled by the ECU 194 corresponds to the “flow path switching means” in the present invention. Yes.
- the ECU 194 executes the process of step 600 or 602 according to the determination results of steps 200 and 204, thereby realizing the “flow path control means” in the present invention.

- Embodiment 8 FIG. Next, an eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference mainly to FIG. 43 and FIG.
- the system of the present embodiment can be realized by causing the ECU 194 to execute a routine shown in FIG. 43 described later instead of the routine shown in FIG. 39 using the hardware configuration provided in the internal combustion engine 190.
- the switching valve 58 is controlled so as not to use the oil separator 54 when the deposit accumulation operation condition that causes the deposit accumulation on the compressor 18b is satisfied.
- the switching valve 58 when the deposit accumulation operation condition for the compressor 18b is satisfied, the switching valve 58 is operated so that the non-oil collecting flow path form is intermittently obtained. . That is, the state where the oil separator 54 is used and the state where the oil separator 54 is not used are alternately and repeatedly switched.
- FIG. 43 is a flowchart showing a control routine executed by the ECU 194 in order to suppress deposit accumulation on the compressor 18b in the eighth embodiment of the present invention.
- the same steps as those shown in FIG. 39 in the seventh embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted or simplified.
- step 204 if it is determined in step 204 that the deposit accumulation mode is established following the establishment of the determination in step 200, that is, the current operating condition is caused by oil mist contained in the blow-by gas.
- the deposit growth suppression mode of this embodiment is executed (step 702). Specifically, in the deposit growth suppression mode in this step 702, in order to alternately and repeatedly switch between a state where the oil separator 54 is used and a state where the oil separator 54 is not used, a non-oil collecting flow path configuration is obtained intermittently. The switching valve 58 is driven so that the bypass passage 56 is used intermittently.

According to the routine shown in FIG. 43 described above, in the case of the deposit accumulation operation condition (when the oil has deteriorated by a predetermined level or more and the deposit accumulation mode is established), the routine shown in FIG. As described above, the state in which the oil separator 54 is used and the state in which the oil separator 54 is not used are alternately switched. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 44 (B), as the operation time elapses, the amount of deposit deposited on the diffuser portion 18b6 changes depending on whether or not the oil separator 54 is used.
- the deposit accumulation amount increases with the elapse of the operation time for the reason shown in FIG. 41 (A). Thereafter, when the switching valve 58 is controlled so that the oil separator 54 is not used, the deposit accumulation amount decreases with the lapse of the operation time due to the reason shown in FIG. 41B (deposit cleaning effect). I will do it. However, when deposit deposition proceeds to some extent (when the deposit grows), the deposit adheres strongly to the diffuser portion 18b6. For this reason, in this embodiment, the switching interval when alternately switching between the state using the oil separator 54 and the state not using the oil separator 54 is based on the experimental results and the like conducted in advance.
- the flow path is switched within a range in which the deposit cleaning effect is exerted by charging (by switching to a state where the oil separator 54 is not used before the deposit is firmly fixed to the diffuser portion 18b6, the large particle diameter is changed. It is set at a sufficient interval (so that oil mist can be charged).

- deposits can be prevented from being accumulated inside the compressor 18b.
- a decrease in compressor efficiency ⁇ c can be prevented.
- the deposit accumulation amount is reduced so that the deposit does not completely adhere to the diffuser portion 18b6.
- the opportunity of oil collection by the oil separator 54 can be increased while suppressing to a certain extent. For this reason, according to the system of the present embodiment, compared with the system of the above-described seventh embodiment, while reducing the oil consumption, the oil consumption is reduced and deposit accumulation on the compressor 18b is prevented. It is possible to achieve both.
- the switching valve 58 is frequently reciprocated for intermittent use of the bypass passage 56 under the deposit accumulation operation condition, so that the changeover valve 58 under the deposit accumulation operation condition.
- the switching valve 58 is caused by oil adhering during use of the non-oil collecting flow path configuration (bypass passage 56). The risk of sticking can be further reduced.
- the cyclone type oil separator 54 has been described as an example.
- the effect of the present invention is not limited to the case where the cyclone-type oil separator 54 is provided, and the oil collection has such characteristics that it is easy to collect oil mist having a large particle diameter and is difficult to collect oil mist having a small particle diameter.

That is, as shown in FIG. 50B, the suit concentration of the gas flowing in the compressor 18b has a correlation with the reduction rate of the compressor efficiency. Further, as shown in FIG. 50C, the reduction in compressor efficiency is correlated with the deposit accumulation amount (the thickness of the deposited deposit) on the wall surface of the diffuser portion 18b6 of the compressor.

As shown in FIG. 53B, there is a correlation between the compressor efficiency reduction rate and the deposit accumulation amount (the thickness of the deposited deposit) on the wall surface of the diffuser portion 18b6 of the compressor. When the compressor outlet temperature rises, the oil mist is heated and deposits on the wall surface of the diffuser section are likely to occur.

That is, when it is determined that the deposit accumulation operation condition is satisfied, the ECU 286 compares the oil remaining amount acquired from the oil remaining amount meter 284 with a predetermined lower limit value. When the remaining oil amount acquired from the remaining oil meter 284 is equal to or greater than the lower limit, the normally closed oil mist injection valve 274 is opened and the normally open oil return valve 282 is closed.

When the outlet temperature of the compressor 18b is high enough to be equal to or higher than the compressor outlet temperature upper limit value, the conditions of this step are satisfied, and the ECU 286 determines that the compressor outlet temperature is the deposit accumulation operation condition. If it is determined that the condition of step 900 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step 902, and the ECU 286 turns on the deposit accumulation operation condition determination flag 1 (substitutes 1 for the flag value). If it is determined that it has not been established, the process proceeds to step S902 without going through step 902.

If this total value has reached 3, all the flags are turned on in steps 902, 906, and 910. If not, it is not determined to be the deposit accumulation operation condition in at least one determination, and thus this routine is terminated. If it is determined that the condition of step 912 is satisfied, the ECU 286 executes processing for determining whether or not the engine speed is equal to or higher than a predetermined upper limit value (step 914). If the engine speed is equal to or greater than the predetermined upper limit value, the final determination flag is turned on when the deposit accumulation operation condition is satisfied (step 916), the routine of FIG. 54 is terminated, and the process proceeds to FIG. If the engine speed is not greater than or equal to the predetermined upper limit value, the current routine ends.

In this step, the flag in step 916 of the routine in FIG. 54 is referred to. If the flag is on, the process proceeds to step 1002.
- step 1002 the ECU 286 executes processing for determining whether or not the remaining amount of the oil mist tank is equal to or greater than a lower limit value.
- the ECU 286 compares the remaining oil amount acquired from the remaining oil meter 284 with a predetermined lower limit value.

- the ECU 286 compares the remaining oil amount acquired from the remaining oil meter 284 with the upper limit value. If the remaining oil amount acquired from the remaining oil meter 284 is not less than or equal to the upper limit value, the current routine is terminated, and the normally open oil return valve 282 is kept open. When the remaining oil amount acquired from the remaining oil meter 284 is equal to or less than the upper limit value, the ECU 286 further executes a process of determining whether or not the remaining oil amount is less than the lower limit value (step 1010).

Abstract
Description
尚、出願人は、本発明に関連するものとして、上記の文献を含めて、以下に記載する文献を認識している。
過給機は、コンプレッサを吸気通路に備えている。連通路は、吸気通路におけるコンプレッサのインペラよりも上流側の部位と、内燃機関のクランク室もしくはこれに通じる機関内部空間とを接続するものである。そして、オイル供給装置は、吸入空気が流れるコンプレッサの内部通路にオイルを供給するものである。このオイル供給装置は、コンプレッサの内部へのデポジットの堆積が懸念されるデポジット堆積運転条件が成立する場合に、デポジット堆積運転条件が不成立である場合と比べて内部通路に供給されるオイルを増量する。
コンプレッサの内部で高温に曝される時間が長いほど、オイルの蒸発が進み、オイルが高粘度化してデポジットの堆積が進むことから、コンプレッサの温度が高ければデポジットはより堆積し易くなる。従って、コンプレッサの温度に基づいて、デポジット堆積運転条件の成立を好適に判断することができる。
コンプレッサの内部にデポジットが堆積すると、コンプレッサ効率が低下する。従って、コンプレッサ効率の低下に基づいて、デポジット堆積運転条件の成立を好適に判断することができる。
オイルが所定レベル以上劣化しており、かつ、コンプレッサの温度が高くなると、デポジットはより堆積し易くなる。従って、オイル劣化のレベルとコンプレッサの温度とに基づいて、デポジット堆積運転条件の成立を好適に判断することができる。
デポジットは、コンプレッサの内部における上記の局所的な高温部において生じ易い。従って、そのような局所的な高温部の温度と、オイル劣化のレベルとに基づいて、デポジット堆積運転条件の成立を好適に判断することができる。
デポジットの1つの原因がオイルに含まれるスーツであることから、スーツ濃度が高ければデポジットはより堆積し易くなる。また、上記のように、コンプレッサの温度が高ければデポジットはより堆積し易くなる。従って、コンプレッサの温度とスーツ濃度とに基づいて、デポジット堆積運転条件の成立を好適に判断することができる。
吸気通路の上記上流側の部位に供給されるオイルが増量されると、吸気とともにコンプレッサの上記内部通路に供給されるオイルが増量される。このため、このような態様を利用してデポジット堆積運転条件が成立する場合に上記内部通路に供給されるオイル量を増やすことによって、コンプレッサへのデポジットの堆積を効果的に防止することができる。
ブローバイガス中にはオイルが含まれている。このため、吸気通路の上記上流側の部位に供給されるブローバイガスが増量されると、当該ブローバイガスとともに吸気通路に供給され、吸気とともにコンプレッサの上記内部通路に供給されるオイルが増量される。このため、このような態様を利用してデポジット堆積運転条件が成立する場合に上記内部通路に供給されるオイル量を増やすことによって、コンプレッサへのデポジットの堆積を効果的に防止することができる。
オイルミスト生成装置より生成されたオイルミストが、クランク室もしくはこれに通じる機関内部空間に供給されると、クランク室等に存在するブローバイガス中のオイルミスト量が増加する。その結果、連通路を介して吸気通路の上記上流側の部位に供給されるオイル量を増やすことができる。
これにより、デポジット堆積運転条件が成立する場合に、オイルと、ガス導入通路から導入されたガスとが負圧ポンプ内で混合された後に、オイルミストを含むガスとして負圧ポンプからクランク室等に排出される。その結果、連通路を介して吸気通路の上記上流側の部位に供給されるオイル量を増やすことができる。また、内燃機関には、一般的に負圧生成のために負圧ポンプが搭載される。上記構成によれば、そのような負圧ポンプを利用してオイルミスト生成装置を構成することができる。このため、低コスト、かつ搭載性に優れたオイルミスト生成装置およびこれを含むオイル供給装置を実現することができる。
上記構成によれば、カムシャフトの回転力を利用して負圧ポンプを駆動させるとともに、一般的に動弁系の潤滑のためにカムシャフトに備えられる油路を利用して負圧ポンプにオイルを供給することができる。このため、低コスト、かつ搭載性に優れたオイルミスト生成装置およびこれを含むオイル供給装置を好適に実現することができる。
上記構成によれば、デポジット堆積の防止のために開閉手段を開くべきか否かの判断よりも、負圧不足の防止のために開閉手段を開くことを禁止すべきか否かの判断が優先的に実施されることになる。これにより、負圧不足による負圧利用装置の動作不良を確実に防止することができる。
これにより、ガス導入通路が開放されている状況下において負圧ポンプが生成する負圧ではブレーキブースターからの利用要求を満足する負圧を生成できない場合にガス導入通路を遮断することにより、ブレーキブースターが利用する負圧の不足によるブレーキの応答遅れを防止することができる。
これにより、デポジットの堆積防止のために開閉手段によってガス導入通路を開放している状況下においても、負圧利用装置に負圧をより確実に供給できるようになる。これにより、負圧利用装置の応答遅れを改善することができる。
これにより、負圧ポンプから取り込んだ空気量を考慮した吸入空気量の補正を行えるので、補正後の正確な空気流量を用いたエンジン制御(空燃比制御など)を行えるようになる。
これにより、デポジット堆積運転条件が成立する場合に、オイルジェットからオイルを噴射することにより、クランク室等に存在するブローバイガス中のオイルミスト量を増やすことができる。その結果、連通路を介して吸気通路の上記上流側の部位に供給されるオイル量を増やすことができる。
衝突式のオイルセパレータは、ブローバイガスを単純に壁面に衝突させることによってオイルを捕集するものである。このため、ブローバイガス流量によらずにオイル捕集率がほぼ変化しない特性を得ることができる。これにより、オイルを増量させたいデポジット堆積運転条件が成立する場合に、吸気通路の上記上流側の部位に供給されるオイル量を効果的に増やすことができる。
これにより、デポジット堆積運転条件下において、コンプレッサへの大粒径のオイルミストの投入(供給されるオイルミスト量の増加)によって、コンプレッサの内部にデポジットが堆積するのを効果的に防止することができる。また、上記オイル捕集手段を備える内燃機関において、オイル消費の低減とコンプレッサへのデポジット堆積の防止とを好適に両立させることが可能となる。
これにより、デポジット堆積運転条件下において、デポジットの堆積防止を図りつつ、非オイル捕集流路形態の使用時に付着するオイルによって流路切替手段が固着してしまうリスクを軽減させることができる。
これにより、上記上流側接続部に流路切替手段を設定する場合と比べ、オイル付着によって流路切替手段が固着してしまうリスクを軽減することができる。
上記のようにオイル供給装置を構成することにより、デポジット堆積運転条件が成立する場合に、コンプレッサのインペラの下流部に形成されたディフューザ部にオイルを誘引することができる。そのため、このような態様によってコンプレッサの内部通路に該当するディフューザ部に供給されるオイルを増量することにより、インペラに損傷を与えることを抑制しつつ、ディフューザ部に付着したデポジットを洗浄除去することが可能となる。
上記構成によれば、上記油路とディフューザ部との間に圧力差を設けることによりチェックバルブが開弁し、ディフューザ部にオイルを誘引することが可能となる。
上記の構成によれば、内燃機関がアイドル状態となった時を利用して、スロットルバルブを急に開く制御が行われる。これにより、コンプレッサ周辺の空気が内燃機関側に急激に流れ、ディフューザ部に負圧を作り出すことができる。この負圧により上記油路とディフューザ部との間に圧力差が生じ、逆止弁を開弁させることが可能となる。
上記の構成によれば、可変ノズルの開度を上げることにより、タービンホイールの回転の上昇を防止することができる。その結果、ディフューザ部に大きな負圧を作り出すことが可能となる。
上記の構成によれば、EGRバルブを閉じることにより、ディフューザ部に大きな負圧を作り出すことが可能となる。
上記の構成によれば、デポジット堆積運転条件が成立する場合に、ブローバイガスからオイルを回収し、この回収したオイルをオイルミスト注入弁によって、オイルミストとして吸気通路の上記上流側の部位に供給することができる。このような態様によってコンプレッサの内部通路に該当するディフューザ部に供給されるオイルを増量することにより、必要な場合に、確実に、コンプレッサへのデポジット堆積の防止措置を取ることができる。
これにより、デポジット堆積運転条件の成立を精度良く判定し、迅速にオイルミスト注入を実現して、確実にコンプレッサにおけるデポジット堆積を抑制することができる。
これにより、確実にコンプレッサのディフューザ部壁面におけるデポジット堆積を抑制することができる。
これにより、ブローバイガスの流路形態に左右されずに、所望のタイミングで、安定的に、ある程度の大きさの粒径を有するオイルミストを吸気通路の上記上流側の部位に供給することができる。
[実施の形態1のシステム構成]
図1は、本発明の実施の形態1の内燃機関10のシステム構成を説明するための図である。図1に示すシステムは、内燃機関10を備えている。ここでは、内燃機関10は、4サイクルのディーゼル機関(圧縮着火内燃機関)10であり、車両に搭載され、その動力源とされているものとする。本実施形態の内燃機関10は、直列4気筒型であるが、本発明における内燃機関の気筒数および気筒配置はこれに限定されるものではない。
内燃機関10の各気筒の内部には、ピストン68が往復移動自在に配置されている。ピストン68は、コンロッド70を介してクランクシャフト72に連結されている。内燃機関10の各気筒を構成する部材であるシリンダブロック74の下方には、クランクケース76が配置されており、更にその下方には、内燃機関10の各部を潤滑するオイルを溜めておくためのオイルパン78が配置されている。
図4に示すように、負圧ポンプ96のシリンダ96cの内部には、円盤状のローター96dが配置されている。ローター96dは、略円筒状のシリンダ96cに対して偏心した状態で配置されている。ローター96dは、カムシャフト112(後述の図5参照)と同心状に固定されている。すなわち、負圧ポンプ96は、カムシャフト112の回転力を利用して駆動される。
次に、吸気通路24に導入されたブローバイガス中に劣化したミスト状のオイルが含まれていた場合に生じ得る課題である、コンプレッサ18bの内部(ディフューザ部18b6)へのデポジットの堆積について説明する。
コンプレッサ18bは、吸気通路24の途中に介在し、コンプレッサ18bのハウジング18b1の内部通路は、吸気通路24の一部として機能する。すなわち、吸気通路24には、コンプレッサ18bの内部通路も含まれる。図7に示すように、ターボ過給機18におけるコンプレッサ18b側のハウジング18b1には、吸気の上流側の吸気通路24に接続されるコンプレッサ入口部18b2と、連結軸18cに固定されたコンプレッサインペラ18b3を収容するインペラ部18b4と、渦巻き状のスクロール部18b5と、インペラ部18b4とスクロール部18b5との間においてインペラ部18b4よりも外周側に位置し、円板状の通路であるディフューザ部18b6とが形成されている。
図8に示すように、ブローバイガス中に含まれるオイルミストは、直径で6μm程度以下のものである。劣化したオイルミストには、直径で0.1μm程度のススが含まれている。このようなオイルミストがインペラ部18b4に流入すると、吸気とともに温度上昇することによって、オイル部分が蒸発していく。その結果、オイルミストが高粘度化し、粘着性が高くなっていく。
本件発明者らは、鋭意研究の結果、蒸発する間もないほど多量のオイルがコンプレッサ18bの内部通路に持ち込まれた場合には、デポジットは生成されず、また、コンプレッサ18bに付着したデポジットが剥離して除去されるという有意な効果が得られることを見出した。
すなわち、例えば、エンジン回転数とエンジン負荷(燃料噴射量)とにより算出される目標過給圧と、吸気圧力センサ38により検出される実過給圧との偏差が所定値以上となる場合に、コンプレッサ効率が所定値以下に低下したと判断することができる。
或いは、例えば、実過給圧を目標過給圧に一致させるために可変ノズルの開度制御をPID制御を用いて行っている場合には、I項(積分項)の値が所定値以上大きくなった場合に、コンプレッサ効率が所定値以下に低下したと判断することができる。
或いは、例えば、次のような手法を用いてもよい。コンプレッサ効率ηcおよびコンプレッサ出口温度T3は、次式に従ってそれぞれ算出することができる。
ηc=T1((P3/P1)(κ-1)/κ-1)/(T3-T1)
T3=T1((P3/P1)(κ-1)/κ-1)/ηc+T1
ただし、上記の式において、P3はコンプレッサ出口圧力であり、P1はコンプレッサ入口圧力もしくは大気圧であり、T1はコンプレッサ出口温度である。
トルク(燃料噴射量)とエンジン回転数との関係で規定された目標空気流量、目標コンプレッサ出口圧力(吸気マニホールド圧力)、或いはコンプレッサ18bの圧力比(P3/P1)を実現した際に、上記の式によって算出されるコンプレッサ出口温度T3が所定値より高い場合に、コンプレッサ効率ηcが所定値以下に低下したと判断してもよい。上記の式によれば、コンプレッサ18bの圧力比(P3/P1)およびコンプレッサ入口温度T1が一定であれば、コンプレッサ効率ηcが低下するとコンプレッサ出口温度T3が上昇する。このため、上記の式に基づいて、コンプレッサ効率ηcが所定値以下に低下したと判断することができる。
蒸発する間もないほど多量のオイルが流動性を有した状態でコンプレッサ18bの内部に持ち込まれた場合には、図11に示すようなデポジットの堆積防止効果を得ることができる。より具体的には、図11に示すように、流動性を有するオイルAの前方に、流動性を失い、このままではデポジットになってしまう小粒径のオイルBが着床している場合を想定する。この場合、オイルAがオイルBに接触すると、流動性のあるオイルAがオイルBを取り込んで巨大化する。そして、巨大化したオイルは、流動性を有したままディフューザ部18b6の出口に到達し、下流側に排出される。このように、蒸発する間もないほど多量のオイルをコンプレッサ18bの内部通路に供給することによって、ディフューザ部18b6を洗浄し、小粒径のオイルによるデポジットの生成および成長を防止する効果が得られる。
以上説明した構成を有する内燃機関10によれば、大気開放バルブ100を開いて負圧ポンプ96から空気を機関内部に導入した場合には、通常運転時(大気開放バルブ100の閉弁時)と比べて、図12に示すように、オイル粒径を問わずブローバイガス中のオイル量を大きく増やすことができる。より具体的には、オイルの供給を受け、かつ排気(本実施形態では新気)とともにオイルを排出可能な負圧ポンプ96を備える内燃機関10によれば、単純にブローバイガス量を増加させた場合と比べて、ブローバイガス中のオイル量を効果的に増加させることができる。
図13に示すように、デポジット堆積に対する何らの対策を行っていない通常運転時には、エンジン運転時間の経過とともにデポジット堆積に伴ってコンプレッサ効率が低下していく。これに対し、上記負圧ポンプ96を備える内燃機関10によれば、大気開放バルブ100を開いて負圧ポンプ96から空気を機関内部に導入した状態では、デポジットの発生を防止することができるので、コンプレッサ効率の低下を防止することができる。
大気開放バルブ100が開かれている通常運転モードでの内燃機関10の運転中には、コンプレッサ18bにデポジットが次第に堆積していくことで、コンプレッサ効率が低下していく。上記負圧ポンプ96を備える内燃機関10によれば、大気開放バルブ100を開いておくことにより、上述したようにコンプレッサ効率の低下を防止することができる。しかしながら、コンプレッサ効率が高く確保されている状況下においても一律に大気開放バルブ100を開くようにすることは、オイル消費量が増えてしまうため、適切な対処とはいえない。
次に、図15および図16を主に参照して、本発明の実施の形態2について説明する。
本実施形態のシステムは、図1乃至図6に示すハードウェア構成を用いて、ECU60に図9に示すルーチンに代えて後述の図15に示すルーチンを実行させることにより実現することができるものである。
以上説明した図15に示すルーチンによれば、図16(A)に示すように、デポジット堆積運転条件ではない場合(オイルが所定レベル以上劣化していない場合、またはデポジット堆積モードではない場合)には、大気開放バルブ100が全閉とされる。そして、上記ルーチンによれば、デポジット堆積運転条件が成立する場合(オイルが所定レベル以上劣化しており、かつ、デポジット堆積モードが成立することでコンプレッサ18bの内部へのデポジットの堆積が懸念される場合)には、負圧不足が生じていないことを条件として、大気開放バルブ100が開かれる。これにより、コンプレッサ18bの上流側の吸気通路24にブローバイガスとともに供給されるオイルミストが増量される。このようにして、デポジットの堆積が懸念される状況下でコンプレッサ18bの内部通路に供給されるオイルミストが増量されることで、コンプレッサ18bの内部(ディフューザ部18b6等)でのデポジットの生成(付着)やその成長を効果的に防止することができる。このため、図16(B)に示すように、デポジット堆積運転条件下であってもコンプレッサ効率が低下しないようにすることができる。
上述した実施の形態2においては、デポジット堆積運転条件が成立する場合に、大気開放バルブ100が所定開度に開かれた状態とされる例について説明を行った。しかしながら、デポジット堆積運転条件が成立する場合には、以下の図17に示すルーチンのように、間欠的に開かれるように大気開放バルブ100が制御されるようになっていてもよい。
以上説明した図17に示すルーチンによれば、デポジット堆積運転条件が成立する場合(オイルが所定レベル以上劣化しており、かつ、デポジット堆積モードが成立する場合)には、図18(A)に示すように、大気開放バルブ100が間欠的に開かれる。それに伴い、図18(B)に示すように、運転時間の経過とともに、大気開放バルブ100の開閉に応じてコンプレッサ18bへのオイルミストの供給量が変化し、ディフューザ部18b6へのデポジットの堆積量が変化する。

次に、図19乃至図21を主に参照して、本発明の実施の形態3について説明する。
[実施の形態3における特徴的な構成]
図19は、本発明の実施の形態3における負圧ポンプ96の吸気口96a周りの構成を表した概略図である。尚、図19において、上記図3等に示す構成要素と同一の要素については、同一の符号を付してその説明を省略または簡略する。
図20は、本発明の実施の形態3において負圧タンク128を有効利用するために実行される制御の概要を表したタイムチャートである。
図20(A)に示すように、本実施形態においても、実施の形態1または2の図9または15に示すルーチンの処理が実行されることによって、デポジット堆積運転条件の成立の有無に応じて大気開放バルブ100が開閉されるようになっている。
負圧タンク128を備える内燃機関120において負圧タンク128を有効利用するための制御は、例えば、以下の図21に示すような手法であってもよい。図21は、本発明の実施の形態3の変形例において負圧タンク128を有効利用するために実行される制御の概要を表したタイムチャートである。
次に、図22を主に参照して、本発明の実施の形態4について説明する。
本実施形態のシステムは、上述した内燃機関10または120が備えるハードウェア構成を用いて、ECU60に後述の図22に示すルーチンを実行させることにより実現することができるものである。
先ず、図23乃至図25を参照して、負圧ポンプ96へのオイル供給手法のバリエーションについて説明する。
図23に示すように、オイルパン78に溜められたオイルは、オイルストレーナ130を介してオイルポンプ132によって汲み上げられる。オイルポンプ132は、内燃機関10のトルクを動力として作動する。オイルポンプ132によって汲み上げられたオイルは、サブオイルホール134およびオイルフィルタ136を介してメインオイルホール138に供給される。
図24に示す例における内燃機関10の潤滑系は、メインオイルホール138とオイルパン78とを直接的に接続する負圧ポンプ用油路150を備えている。負圧ポンプ96は、図24に示すように、負圧ポンプ用油路150からオイルが供給されるように構成されていてもよい。
図25に示す例における内燃機関10の潤滑系は、オイルパン78内のオイルを負圧ポンプ96に向けて直接的に供給可能な構成を備えている。より具体的には、負圧ポンプ96にオイルを供給するために、オイルパン78内のオイルをオイルストレーナ152を介して汲み上げるための専用のオイルポンプ154を備えている。負圧ポンプ96には、このオイルポンプ154からサブオイルホール156およびオイルフィルタ158を介してオイルが供給される。負圧ポンプ96にオイルを供給するためにこのような構成が用いられていてもよい。
図26は、負圧ポンプ96の入口側の構成の第1変形例を説明するための図である。
負圧ポンプ96の入口側の構成は、図10に表された構成に代え、例えば、図26に示すようなものであってもよい。図26に示す構成は、負圧ポンプ96の吸気口96aと、インタークーラ28よりも下流側(であってHPL40よりは上流側)の吸気通路24とを連通させるガス導入通路160を備えている。ガス導入通路160の途中には、大気開放バルブ100と同様の役割を有するガス導入バルブ162が取り付けられている。このような構成によって、ガス導入バルブ162の開弁時にインタークーラ28通過後の新気が負圧ポンプ96に導入されるようになっていてもよい。
負圧ポンプ96の入口側の構成は、図10に表された構成に代え、例えば、図27に示すようなものであってもよい。図27に示す構成は、負圧ポンプ96の吸気口96aと、エアクリーナ26よりも下流側であってコンプレッサ18bよりも上流側(より好ましくは連通路52よりも更に上流側)の吸気通路24とを連通させるガス導入通路164を備えている。ガス導入バルブ162は、ガス導入通路164の途中に取り付けられている。このような構成によって、ガス導入バルブ162の開弁時にコンプレッサ18bの上流側を流れる新気が負圧ポンプ96に導入されるようになっていてもよい。
負圧ポンプ96の入口側の構成は、図10に表された構成に代え、例えば、図28に示すようなものであってもよい。図28に示す構成は、負圧ポンプ96の吸気口96aと、連通路(ブローバイガス通路)52の途中の部位とを連通させるガス導入通路166を備えている。ガス導入バルブ162は、ガス導入通路166の途中に取り付けられている。このような構成によって、ガス導入バルブ162の開弁時に連通路52を流れるブローバイガスが負圧ポンプ96に導入されるようになっていてもよい。更に付け加えると、このような手法が用いられていると、大きいオイル粒子は吸い込みにくいので、相対的に細かいオイル粒子をブローバイガスとともに機関内部に戻せるようになる。そして、この場合には、負圧ポンプ96の排気口96bからは、ブローバイガスとオイルミストとが内部空間90に供給されることになる。
負圧ポンプ96の入口側の構成は、図10に表された構成に代え、例えば、図29に示すようなものであってもよい。図29に示す構成は、負圧ポンプ96の吸気口96aと、機関内部(例えば、クランク室80または内部空間90)とを連通させるガス導入通路168を備えている。ガス導入バルブ162は、ガス導入通路168の途中に取り付けられている。このような構成によって、機関内部に存在するブローバイガスがガス導入バルブ162の開弁時に循環的に負圧ポンプ96に導入されるようになっていてもよい。
次に、図30乃至図32を主に参照して、本発明の実施の形態5について説明する。
[実施の形態5における特徴的な構成]
図30は、本発明の実施の形態5の内燃機関170の内部構造を概略的に表した図である。
上述した内燃機関10、120は、連通路52を利用してコンプレッサ18bの内部通路にオイルを供給するオイル供給装置の構成要素として、負圧ポンプ96とガス導入通路98と大気開放バルブ100とを有するオイルミスト生成装置を備えている。これに対し、本実施形態の内燃機関170は、負圧ポンプ96を含むオイルミスト生成装置に代え、次のように構成されたオイルミスト生成装置を備えている。
図31に示すように、内燃機関170の潤滑系は、メインオイルホール138からオイルジェット172にオイルを供給するためのオイルジェット用油路174を備えている。オイルジェット用油路174の途中には、当該油路174を開閉するための電磁弁176が設置されている。電磁弁176は、上述したECU60により制御される。
本実施形態では、内燃機関170の運転中にデポジット堆積運転条件が成立する場合には、ブローバイガス中のオイルミスト量を増やしてコンプレッサ18bの内部通路に供給されるオイルを増量するために、オイルジェット172からオイルを噴射するようにした。
次に、図33を主に参照して、本発明の実施の形態6について説明する。
本実施形態のシステムは、内燃機関170が備えるハードウェア構成を用いて、ECU60に図32に示すルーチンに代えて後述の図33に示すルーチンを実行させることにより実現することができるものである。
図34は、図30に示す内燃機関170の潤滑系に対するオイルジェット172の配置の他の例を説明するための図である。
図34に示す例における内燃機関170の潤滑系は、オイルパン78内のオイルをオイルジェット172に向けて直接的に供給可能な構成を備えている。より具体的には、オイルジェット172にオイルを供給するために、オイルパン78内のオイルをオイルストレーナ178を介して汲み上げるための専用のオイルポンプ180を備えている。オイルジェット172には、このオイルポンプ180からサブオイルホール182およびオイルフィルタ184を介してオイルが供給される。また、この潤滑系は、オイルポンプ180から吐出されるオイルをオイルポンプ180の吸い込み側に戻すためのオイルリターン通路186と、オイルリターン通路186を開閉する電磁弁188とを備えている。
次に、図35乃至40を主に参照して、本発明の実施の形態7について説明する。
[実施の形態7のシステム構成]
図35は、本発明の実施の形態7の内燃機関190のシステム構成を説明するための図である。尚、図35において、上記図1などに示す構成要素と同一の要素については、同一の符号を付してその説明を省略または簡略する。
コンプレッサ18bの内部通路(ディフューザ部18b6など)へのデポジットの堆積に関する課題については、図7および図8を参照して実施の形態1において既述した通りである。本実施形態の内燃機関190は、オイル消費抑制等の目的のために、既述したように、ブローバイガス中に含まれるオイルミストを捕集するオイルセパレータ54を備えている。図36は、ブローバイガス中のオイルミストの量と粒径との関係(オイルミスト粒径分布)を、オイルセパレータ54の有無で比較して表した図である。
先ず、図37(A)を参照して、デポジットの堆積し易さについてのオイルミストの粒径の影響について説明する。図37(A)に示すように、大粒径のオイルミストの場合には、質量が大きいため、コンプレッサ18bの内部において多少蒸発しても、流動性が高く保持される。このため、大粒径のオイルミストは、ディフューザ部18b6に着床した場合であっても、固着する前にディフューザ部18b6の出口まで到達し易くなる。一方、小粒径のオイルミストの場合には、ディフューザ部18b6に着床した後に流動性が無い(低い)ため、ディフューザ部18b6の出口まで至らずに固着してデポジットになってしまう。
以上説明したように、オイルセパレータ54を利用したブローバイガス中のオイルミストの捕集を行った場合には、大粒径のオイルミストが捕集され、捕集のできない小粒径のオイルミストがコンプレッサ18bに流入することになる。そして、小粒径のオイルミストはデポジットになり易く、また、大粒径のオイルミストは、小粒径のオイルミストによるデポジットの生成および成長を抑制する効果をもたらすものである。従って、オイルセパレータ54によるオイルミストの捕集を行わない場合の方が、当該捕集を行う場合と比べ、(大粒径の)オイルミストの増量によってディフューザ部18b6へのデポジットの堆積が抑制される。このため、図38に示すように、オイルミストの捕集を行わない場合には、デポジットの堆積に起因するコンプレッサ効率ηcの低下が認められないのに対し、オイルミストの捕集を行う場合には、コンプレッサ効率の低下代Δηcが運転時間の経過とともに大きくなる。
図39に示すルーチンでは、先ず、オイルが所定レベル以上劣化しているか否かが判定される(ステップ200)。
以上説明した図39に示すルーチンによれば、図40(A)に示すように、デポジット堆積運転条件ではない場合(オイルが所定レベル以上劣化していない場合、またはデポジット堆積モードではない場合)には、オイルセパレータ54が使用するために、オイル捕集流路形態が得られるように切替弁58が制御される。そして、上記ルーチンによれば、デポジット堆積運転条件である場合(オイルが所定レベル以上劣化しており、かつ、デポジット堆積モードが成立する場合)には、オイルセパレータ54を使用しないようにするために、非オイル捕集流路形態が得られるように切替弁58が制御される。
以下、説明の便宜上、上記図37(A)において「小粒径オイルミストの場合」と付して示す現象を「現象A」と称し、上記図37(B)に示す大粒径オイルミストによるデポジットの生成および成長の抑制効果が生じる現象を「現象B」と称する。
次に、図42を参照して、上述した実施の形態7の構成を含め、切替弁58の好適な配置場所について説明する。
図42は、切替弁58の配置場所のバリエーションを説明するための図である。
図42(A)に示す切替弁58の配置は、上述した実施の形態7のものである。この図42(A)に示す構成以外にも、図42(B)および(C)に示す何れの構成においても、ブローバイガスの流路形態をオイル捕集流路形態と非オイル捕集流路形態との間で切り替えることができる。更に付け加えると、オイルセパレータ54には圧力損失があるため、バイパス通路の途中に切替弁を設けた図42(B)に示す構成の場合においても、切替弁によるバイパス通路の開閉によって、ブローバイガスの流路形態を切り替えることができる。
また、上述した実施の形態7の変形例においては、ECU194が上述した手法に従ってコンプレッサ18bの内部(ディフューザ部18b6)における局所的な高温部の温度T3localを算出することにより本発明における「コンプレッサ局所温度取得手段」が実現されている。
次に、図43および図44を主に参照して、本発明の実施の形態8について説明する。
本実施形態のシステムは、内燃機関190が備えるハードウェア構成を用いて、ECU194に図39に示すルーチンに代えて後述の図43に示すルーチンを実行させることにより実現することができるものである。
以上説明した図43に示すルーチンによれば、デポジット堆積運転条件である場合(オイルが所定レベル以上劣化しており、かつ、デポジット堆積モードが成立する場合)には、図44(A)に示すように、オイルセパレータ54を使用する状態と使用しない状態とが交互に切り替わるようになる。それに伴い、図44(B)に示すように、運転時間の経過とともに、オイルセパレータ54の使用の有無に応じて、ディフューザ部18b6へのデポジットの堆積量が変化する。
ところで、上述した実施の形態7および8においては、サイクロン式のオイルセパレータ54を例に挙げて説明を行った。しかしながら、本発明による効果は、サイクロン式のオイルセパレータ54を備える場合に限らず、大粒径のオイルミストは捕集し易く、小粒径のオイルミストは捕集しにくい特性を有するオイル捕集手段を備えている場合であれば、同様に奏することができるものである。
次に、図45乃至図47を参照して、本発明の実施の形態9について説明する。
[実施の形態9のシステム構成]
図45は、本発明の実施の形態9の内燃機関200のシステム構成を説明するための図である。図45に示すシステムは内燃機関(以下、単にエンジンともいう。)200を備えている。図45に示す内燃機関200は直列4気筒型のディーゼルエンジンであるが、本発明において、気筒数および気筒配置はこれに限定されるものではない。各気筒には、燃料を気筒(燃焼室)内に直接噴射するインジェクタ202が設けられている。
次に、本実施形態のシステムの特徴部について図46および図47を用いて説明する。本発明の主な特徴の一つは、図46に示す連通油路258とチェックバルブ260とを備える構造にある。他の特徴の一つは、図47に示す特徴的制御にある。
図46は、ターボ過給機208のコンプレッサハウジングおよびセンタハウジングの一部を示す断面図である。ターボ過給機208は、タービン208aとコンプレッサ208bとベアリング部208cとを備える。
図47は、ECU50が実行する本発明の実施の形態9の特徴的制御ルーチンのフローチャートである。図47に示すルーチンでは、先ず、ECU230は、デポジット堆積運転条件が成立したか否かを判定する(ステップ800)。デポジット堆積運転条件は、例えばコンプレッサ出口温度やオイル中のスーツ濃度が規定値よりも高い場合に成立する。コンプレッサ出口温度は、運転状態とコンプレッサ出口温度との関係を定めたマップ等を記憶してこれに基づき推定することとしても良いし、モデルを用いてコンプレッサ208bの出口温度を推定することとしても良い。オイル中のスーツ濃度についても同様である。
次に、図48乃至図55を主に参照して、本発明の実施の形態7について説明する。
[実施の形態10のシステム構成]
図48は、本発明の実施の形態10の内燃機関270のシステム構成を説明するための図である。尚、図48において、実施の形態7の図35などに示す構成要素と同一の要素については、同一の符号を付してその説明を省略または簡略する。
サイクロン式(遠心分離式)のオイルセパレータ54の動作の影響を含め、コンプレッサ18bの内部通路(ディフューザ部18b6など)へのデポジットの堆積に関する課題については、図7および図8を参照して実施の形態1において既述し、かつ、図36乃至図38を参照して既述した通りである。本実施形態では、コンプレッサ18bの内部へのデポジットの堆積を防止するために、以下に説明する制御が行われる。
本実施形態では、上記のデポジット堆積を抑制すべく、オイルミスト注入弁274が設けられている。オイルミスト注入弁274のノズル部274cは、「堆積デポジットの洗浄に最適なオイルミスト粒径」が多く含まれる噴霧を形成するように、予め試験等によりノズル形状を設計しておくものとする。このオイルミスト粒径は、具体的には、図37で説明したように、コンプレッサ18bのディフューザ部18b6に着床した場合であっても、固着する前にディフューザ部18b6の出口まで到達する程度の大きさの粒径であることが好ましい。そのような粒径が含まれる量についても、デポジット堆積を抑制できる程度の量となるように予め試験等によりノズル部274cを設計すればよい。
本実施形態によれば、ブローバイガスからオイルを回収して、この回収したオイルをオイルミスト注入弁274によって、必要なときに、オイルミストとして吸気通路24のコンプレッサ18bの上流側の部位に供給することができる。また、必要な場合にのみオイルミストの注入を行うことができるため、オイルセパレータ54で回収したオイルを不要に消費しなくともよく、限られた量のオイルを有効利用することができる。
本実施形態では、内燃機関270の運転中に、現在の運転条件が、「ブローバイガス中に含まれるオイルミストに起因してコンプレッサ18bの内部(ディフューザ部18b6)へのデポジットの堆積が懸念されるデポジット堆積運転条件」であるか否かを判定する。本実施形態において、デポジット堆積運転条件は、スーツ濃度と、LPL-EGR混合率と、コンプレッサ出口温度とを用いて判定される。
図50は、デポジット堆積とスーツ濃度との関係を説明するための図である。
図50(A)に示すように、スーツ濃度は燃料噴射量と相関がある。その因果関係を説明すると、すなわち、図50(B)に示すように、コンプレッサ18b内を流れるガスのスーツ濃度は、コンプレッサ効率の低下率と相関を有する。さらに、図50(C)に示すように、コンプレッサ効率の低下は、コンプレッサのディフューザ部18b6壁面におけるデポジット堆積量(堆積したデポジットの厚さ)と相関がある。
S=cof1+ cof2×A ・・・(1)
Sはスーツ濃度であり、Aは燃料噴射量であり、cof1およびcof2はそれぞれ所定の定数である。
ECU286は、インジェクタ12における燃料噴射量の指令値を取得し、上記(1)式に従って、スーツ濃度Sを計算する。ECU286は、このスーツ濃度が所定の上限値以上である場合、スーツ濃度に関してはデポジット堆積運転条件であると判定する。
図51および図52は、デポジット堆積とLPL-EGR混合率との関係を説明するための図である。
図51(A)に示すように、LPL-EGRの混合率とコンプレッサ入口温度との間には相関がある。図51(B)に示すように、コンプレッサ入口温度とコンプレッサ出口温度の間には、相関がある。図52(A)に示すように、コンプレッサ出口温度が上昇すると、コンプレッサ効率が低下する。図52(B)に示すように、コンプレッサ効率の低下は、コンプレッサのディフューザ部18b6壁面におけるデポジット堆積量(堆積したデポジットの厚さ)と相関がある。コンプレッサ内を流れるガス温度が上昇すると、オイルミストが加熱されて、ディフューザ部壁面のデポジット堆積を生じやすくなるということである。
図53は、デポジット堆積とコンプレッサ出口温度との関係を説明するための図である。
図53(A)に示すように、コンプレッサ出口温度とコンプレッサ効率低下率との間には相関がある。図53(B)に示すように、コンプレッサ効率低下率と、コンプレッサのディフューザ部18b6壁面におけるデポジット堆積量(堆積したデポジットの厚さ)と相関がある。コンプレッサ出口温度が上昇すると、オイルミストが加熱されて、ディフューザ部壁面のデポジット堆積を生じやすくなるということである。
すなわち、デポジット堆積運転条件であると判定された場合には、ECU286は、オイル残量メータ284から取得したオイル残量を所定の下限値と比較する。オイル残量メータ284から取得したオイル残量が下限値以上である場合には、ノーマルクローズのオイルミスト注入弁274を開き、かつノーマルオープンのオイルリターン弁282を閉じる。
一方、デポジット堆積運転条件ではないと判定された場合には、ECU286は、オイル残量メータ284から取得したオイル残量を下限値と比較する。オイル残量メータ284から取得したオイル残量が下限値未満の場合には、ノーマルオープンのオイルリターン弁282を閉じる。これにより、オイルセパレータ54で回収したオイルを貯蔵して、オイルミスト回収タンク272内のオイル残量を下限値より多い値に維持し、オイル量を確保することができる。また、オイルミスト回収タンク272を小容量のものとし、小型化できる。
図54および図55は、本発明の実施の形態10にかかる過給機付き内燃機関270において、ECU286が実行するルーチンのフローチャートである。図54は、デポジット堆積運転条件を判定するためのルーチンであり、図55は、オイルミスト注入弁等の制御ルーチンである。
図54に示すルーチンでは、先ず、ECU286が、コンプレッサ出口温度が上限値以上であるか否かを判定するルーチンを実行する(ステップ900)。ECU286は、コンプレッサ18bの出口温度を取得し、記憶したコンプレッサ出口温度上限値と比較する。コンプレッサ出口温度上限値以上となるほどにコンプレッサ18bの出口温度が高い場合には本ステップの条件が成立し、ECU286は、コンプレッサ出口温度に関してはデポジット堆積運転条件であると判定する。
ステップ900の条件が成立していると判定された場合には、処理はステップ902へ進み、ECU286は、デポジット堆積運転条件判定フラグ1をオンとする(フラグ値に1を代入する)。成立していないと判定された場合には、ステップ902を経由せずに処理は次に進む。
ステップ904の条件が成立していると判定された場合には、処理はステップ906へ進み、ECU286は、デポジット堆積運転条件判定フラグ2をオンとする(フラグ値に1を代入する)。成立していないと判定された場合には、ステップ906を経由せずに処理は次に進む。
ステップ908の条件が成立していると判定された場合には、処理はステップ910へ進み、ECU286は、デポジット堆積運転条件判定フラグ3をオンとする(フラグ値に1を代入する)。成立していないと判定された場合には、ステップ910を経由せずに処理は次に進む。
ステップ912の条件が成立していると判定された場合には、ECU286は、エンジン回転数が所定の上限値以上であるか否かを判定する処理を実行するステップ914)。エンジン回転数が所定上限値以上の場合、デポジット堆積運転条件であると最終的な判定フラグがオンとされ(ステップ916)、図54のルーチンは終了し、図55へと処理が移行する。エンジン回転数が所定上限値以上ではない場合は、今回のルーチンが終了する。
ECU286は、図54のルーチンと並行して、図55のルーチンも実行する。図55のルーチンでは、先ず、ECU286が、デポジット堆積運転条件判定の結果がYesであったか否かを判定する処理を実行する(ステップ1000)。このステップでは、図54のルーチンのステップ916のフラグが参照され、フラグがオンである場合は、処理はステップ1002へ進む。
オイル残量メータ284から取得したオイル残量が上限値以下である場合、更に、ECU286は、オイル残量が下限値未満であるか否かを判定する処理を実行する(ステップ1010)。オイル残量メータ284から取得したオイル残量が下限値未満ではない場合、今回のルーチンが終了し、ノーマルオープンのオイルリターン弁282はオープン状態が維持される。これにより、オイル残量が上限値以下であってかつ下限値以上である適正な範囲内となる。
オイル残量が下限値未満の場合には、ノーマルオープンのオイルリターン弁282を閉じる。これにより、オイルセパレータ54で回収したオイルを貯蔵して、オイルミスト回収タンク272内のオイル残量を下限値より多い値に増加させ、オイル量を確保することができる。
また、上述した実施の形態10の内燃機関270は、バイパス通路56および切替弁58を備えたものであるが、本発明の対象は、このような構成に限らず、バイパス通路および切替弁を備えていないものであってもよい。
上述した実施の形態1乃至10においては、デポジット堆積運転条件を判定する手法として、コンプレッサ効率を利用した手法、および、オイルの劣化レベル(例えば、オイル中のスーツ濃度)とデポジット堆積モード判定(コンプレッサ温度の判定)とを利用した手法などを例に挙げて説明を行った。デポジット堆積運転条件は、以上説明した実施の形態1乃至10において使用した各種のパラメータによって好適に判定できるものである。ただし、デポジット堆積運転条件を判定するためのパラメータには、既に記載したパラメータ以外にも、コンプレッサ回転数、機関負荷、過給圧、および、クランク室内圧力と吸気圧力との差圧などが含まれる。また、実施の形態1乃至10で説明したデポジット堆積運転条件の各判定手法は、実施の形態1乃至10のそれぞれにおいて相互に置き換えて利用可能なものである。
