Abstract: A diesel engine comprises a plurality of cylinders (2), an inlet duct (4), an exhaust duct (6), a turbocharger (8, 10) and a supercharger (14), the turbocharger being of variable output type and including a turbine (8) in the exhaust duct (6) and a supercharger (14) being of variable output type and situated in the inlet duct (4) between the compressor wheel (10) and the cylinders and being electrically driven or mechanically driven by the engine. The engine also includes a first sensor (25) arranged to produce a signal indicative of the speed of the engine, a second sensor (27) arranged to produce a signal indicative of the load to which the engine is subjected and a third sensor (26) arranged to produce a signal indicative of the pressure in the inlet duct (4) downstream of the supercharger (14). The sensors (25, 27, 26) are connected to a controller (29) which is also connected to the turbocharger and the supercharger and is arranged to vary their output independently.

Abstract: An in-cylinder pressure sensor obtains a high resolution pressure curve for each cylinder cycle allowing the various data to be derived for improved monitoring and control of operation of the engine. A more accurate measure of work done by the engine is obtained allowing more accurate estimation of the vehicle torque and hence real torque control. In addition, engine losses can be more accurately calculated and the estimates corrected yet further by obtaining an accurate top dead centre position for the engine cylinders.

Abstract: A control system for controlling the climate of a vehicle includes a control element, a temperature sensor, a motor and a microprocessor. The microprocessor may receive a temperature signal indicative of the temperature at the control element and may receive at least one further input. The at least one further input may comprise an input signal indicative of a high side voltage of the motor, a low side voltage of the motor, and/or an electrical current applied to the motor. The control system controls the motor via an output of the microprocessor. The control system may control the motor in response to the temperature signal and the at least one further input. The control system may reduce occurrence of high-power dissipative modes in response to a detection of a temperature above a threshold level via intelligent power management.
