  • Internal combustion engine having electrohydraulic valve control and method for operating said internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 9212573
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine (4) having an electrohydraulic valve control (1) for the variable lift drive of a gas exchange valve (3) is provided. The hydraulic valve (15) is actuated by an electronic control module (16) such that a gas exchange valve stroke (19) required for a charge change is adjusted during the cold start phase of the internal combustion engine (4) within a minimum stroke height (h-min) and a maximum closing time (?-max). A method for operating the internal combustion engine (4) is also provided.
    Type: Grant
