  • Method and device for increasing the engine brake power of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine of a vehicle, particularly of a diesel engine
    Patent number: 7946269
    Abstract: A method for increasing an engine brake power of an internal combustion engine, particularly of a diesel engine, having at least one cylinder with a reciprocating piston, at least one inlet valve and one outlet valve, and a turbocharger, in which air is compressed by an air compressor and stored in the at least one storage device, and air is injected in a clocked manner into the at least one cylinder in order to increase the compression work performed by the piston and thereby enhance the engine brake power during an engine braking process.
    Type: Grant
