Publication number: 20230177895Abstract: A descaling method involves a tool for diagnosing the engine of a motor vehicle, which tool can interact with the control electronics system of the engine, not only for reading information and controlling certain members during a hydrogen injection cleaning procedure, but also for checking, in real time after cleaning, the state of the impacted members and updating the engine management parameters accordingly in the control electronics system. Thus, the electronic management of the engine may take account of the resetting (i.e. to the initial values or values close to the initial values) of the operating parameters of the engine which are sensitive to engine scaling, such as EGR valve mobility, valve lift, DPF clogging, injector needle mobility, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2021Publication date: June 8, 2023Applicant: ALPHAGREEN DÉVELOPPEMENTInventor: Ludovic CHEVENEMENT
