  • Patent number: 11746715
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method to control an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine comprises a cylinder, an exhaust guide arranged to guide an exhaust flow from the cylinder through a turbine, and a bypass guide arranged to bypass a bypass flow from the cylinder past the turbine. The method comprises the step to determine a value of at least one engine operation parameter. The method is characterized by the step to determine a target value of an exhaust performance parameter depending on the determined engine operation parameter value. Further, the method comprises, depending on the determined target exhaust performance parameter value, the step to control the exhaust flow through the exhaust guide and the step to control the bypass flow through the bypass guide.

  • Patent number: 11371444
    Abstract: A method of controlling an internal combustion engine in a vehicle that includes a cylinder, a fuel system for supplying fuel to the cylinder, an air guide arranged to guide an air flow to the cylinder, and an exhaust guide arranged to guide a gas flow from the cylinder, the method including controlling the engine to provide a braking torque, the control including terminating the supply of fuel to the cylinder, restricting the flow through the exhaust guide, and restricting the flow through the air guide. The control of the engine to provide a braking torque also includes determining a value of a rotational speed of a turbocharger of the engine, and adjusting, in dependence on the determined turbocharger rotational speed value, the restriction of the flow through the air guide, and/or the restriction of the flow through the exhaust guide.
