20090018756 | METHOD FOR COMPENSATING AN OPERATING IMBALANCE BETWEEN DIFFERENT BANKS OF A TURBOCHARGED ENGINE - A method for controlling differences in cylinder mixtures for a two cylinder bank engine having a turbocharger is presented. In one example, the description includes a method for adjusting valve timing to reduce cylinder mixture variation. | 01-15-2009 |
20090107455 | Engine Idle Speed and Turbocharger Speed Control - Various methods are described for controlling engine operation for an engine having a turbocharger and direction injection. One example method includes performing at least a first and second injection during a cylinder cycle, the first injection generating a lean combustion and the second injection injected after combustion such that it exits the cylinder unburned into the exhaust upstream of a turbine of the turbocharger; and adjusting at least the first injection based on engine speed, where the at least first and second injection are performed responsive to turbocharger speed. | 04-30-2009 |
20090107461 | Direct Injection Fuel System with Reservoir - A method of operating a fuel delivery system for an internal combustion engine is described. The system may include a plurality of direct cylinder injectors, a fuel rail upstream of the injectors, a first pump, and a second pump coupled downstream of the first pump and to the fuel rail. The method may include, after or during engine shutdown, and during a fuel system cool down, activating the first pump; and varying the activation of the first pump responsive to temperature to maintain a higher pressure for high temperatures. Alternatively, in some examples, the system may include a reservoir in a bypass around the second pump, the bypass having a valve downstream of the fuel reservoir, where the valve is positioned vertically above the second pump and the fuel reservoir is positioned vertically above the valve. The fuel reservoir may be sized to hold a sufficient amount of fuel in the bypass to allow fuel to migrate from the bypass to the fuel rail during engine cool down. | 04-30-2009 |
20120150420 | Engine Idle Speed and Turbocharger Speed Control - Various methods are described for controlling engine operation for an engine having a turbocharger and direct injection. One example method includes performing a first and second injection during a cylinder cycle, the first injection generating a lean combustion and the second injection exiting the cylinder unburned into the exhaust upstream of a turbine of the turbocharger. | 06-14-2012 |
20120215425 | METHOD FOR COMPENSATING AN OPERATING IMBALANCE BETWEEN DIFFERENT BANKS OF A TURBOCHARGED ENGINE - A method for controlling differences in cylinder mixtures for a two cylinder bank engine having a turbocharger is presented. In one example, the description includes a method for adjusting valve timing to reduce cylinder mixture variation. | 08-23-2012 |
