Abstract: A supercharging system includes a charging device having a turbine and a compressor, the compressor having a high speed shaft; a planetary gear set coupled to the high speed shaft and an electric motor, or generator, via a low speed drive shaft; a clutch unit; a power transmission for connecting a crank shaft of the combustion engine to the drive shaft via the clutch unit; at least one sensor to measure at least one physical parameter of the exhaust gases inside, or after having passed, an exhaust gas catalyzer of the internal combustion engine, the at least one sensor being configured to provide an output signal representing a measured value of the at least one physical parameter; and a system control unit to receive the output signal and to control the speed or effect of the electric motor, or generator, based on the output signal. A method is also disclosed.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a hybrid system comprising a supercharging system for an internal combustion engine (1), the hybrid system comprising: a charging device (6) with a turbine (7) connected to a compressor (8) via a compressor shaft (9), the compressor having a high speed shaft (30); a planetary gear (25) coupled between the high speed shaft (30) and an electric motor/generator (20); a clutch (18a); and a power transmission for connecting a crank shaft (4) of the combustion engine (1) to the electric motor/generator (20) via the clutch (18a); wherein the hybrid system further comprises a system control (23) configured to operate the hybrid system in different operating modes according to a control sequence based on one, or a plurality of, input parameters representative of operational properties of the hybrid system.
Abstract: A supercharging system (6) for an internal combustion engine includes a turbo charging device with a turbine (7) and a compressor (8), the compressor having a compressor shaft (8a); a planetary gear (25) coupled to the compressor shaft (8a) and a drive shaft (32); a clutch unit (18); a power transmission for connecting a crank shaft (4) of the combustion engine (1) to the drive shaft (32) via the clutch unit (18); and an electric motor or electric generator (20) connected to the drive shaft (32). The compressor shaft (8a) is at least on one end movably arranged between the compressor (8) and the planetary gear (25) to allow relative movements between the compressor (8) and the planetary gear (25).
