  • Publication number: 20240162734
    Abstract: Provided is an electric battery junction arrangement for connecting an electric battery arrangement to one or more electrical loads. The electric battery arrangement comprising two or more electric battery cells and a control circuit comprising: (i) a first control circuit branch connectable to a positive side of the battery arrangement and a positive side of an electrical load; (ii) a second control circuit branch connectable to a negative side of the battery arrangement and a negative side of an electrical load; (iii) at least one semiconductor apparatus provided between and configured to control electric current between the battery arrangement and the loads; and (iv) a switching apparatus comprising at least one mechanical switch arranged in an electrical circuit connection between the first and the second control circuit branch for electrically connecting and disconnecting the first and the second control circuit branch to and from each other.

  • Patent number: 11835010
    Abstract: Disclosed is a four-stroke direct injection engine comprising a camshaft, and exhaust valve, and a control system. The control system is configured to change the timing of the camshaft to advance a closing of the exhaust valve, control a first fuel injection step during a compression stroke of the piston, control a second fuel injection step during a power stroke of the piston, and control a third fuel injection step, after the second fuel injection step, during the power stroke of the piston.

  • Patent number: 11008933
    Abstract: A four stroke internal combustion engine is disclosed comprising at least one cylinder arrangement, an exhaust conduit, and at least one turbine. The cylinder arrangement comprises an exhaust port arrangement configured to open and close an exhaust flow area, ACYL. The cylinder arrangement has a maximum volume, VMAX. The exhaust conduit extends between the exhaust flow area, ACYL, and a turbine wheel inlet area, ATIN, of the turbine and has an exhaust conduit volume, VEXH that is ?0.5 times the maximum volume, VMAX. The exhaust port arrangement is configured to expose the exhaust flow area, ACYL, at a size of at least 0.22 times the maximum volume, VMAX, when a piston of the cylinder arrangement is at the bottom dead centre, BDC.

  • Patent number: 10669951
    Abstract: A four-stroke internal combustion engine is disclosed comprising an exhaust valve control arrangement with an exhaust valve phase-shifting device configured to phase-shift control of the at least one exhaust valve to a state where the at least one exhaust valve is controlled in such a way that it is opened during the expansion stroke of the engine and closed during the exhaust stroke of the engine, in order to achieve engine-braking via compression in the cylinders during the exhaust stroke. An inlet valve control arrangement comprises an inlet valve phase-shifting device configured to regulate the amount of air pumped through the engine during the engine braking by regulating the phase-shift of the at least one inlet valve. The present disclosure also relates to a vehicle comprising an engine and method of controlling an engine, a computer program and a computer program for performing a method of controlling an engine.
