Patent number: 11454181Abstract: A system and method for improving the functioning of a turbocharged diesel engine equipped with a cylinder deactivation system includes detecting when the turbocharged diesel engine is at risk of compressor surge, and then delaying the implementation of the cylinder deactivation. The delay may be a set period of time, or it may be determined by performing a set of instructions effective for estimating changes in intake manifold pressures over time if cylinders are deactivated, and then comparing the intake manifold pressure estimates to acceptable intake manifold pressure information. A formula for performing the required estimates is provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2020Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignees: Purdue Research Foundation, Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventors: Alexander H. Taylor, Troy E. Odstrcil, Gregory M. Shaver, James E. McCarthy, Jr.
