Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement (10) for controlling an electrically operated charger (1), which essentially prevent a sudden drop in voltage with the run-up of the electric charger. A drive signal (AS) is formed, which drives the electric charger (1). The rate of change of speed for an increase of the rpm of the electric charger (1) is pregiven in dependence upon the instantaneous supply voltage (UV).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for compressing combustion air, in particular a device for compressing charge air for an automotive combustion engine, with at least one electrically operated charge-air compressor (12, 14), which features at least one compressor impeller (24) that is arranged in a compressor space (22) and driven by an electric motor (18), as well as with a second, additional charge-air compressor (32, 34), in particular an exhaust-gas turbocharger (34), that is connected serially to the electric charge-air compressor (14), which are connected to one another in terms of flow via connecting means (30). It is proposed in accordance with the invention that connecting means (52) are present, which make it possible to guide already compressed charge air into the compressor space (22) of the electric charge-air compressor (14).

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling the charging pressure of an exhaust-gas turbocharger (1) wherein a charging pressure actual value (pvdkds) is tracked to a charging pressure desired value (plsoll). The charging pressure of the exhaust-gas turbocharger (1) is controlled in dependence upon a characteristic variable of an electric auxiliary charger (5). The electric auxiliary charger (5) coacts with the exhaust-gas turbocharger (1) for compressing the inducted air. In this way, an unnecessary opening of a bypass valve of the exhaust-gas turbocharger (1) is avoided.

Abstract: An arrangement for monitoring an air-mass measuring device (1) includes an electrically driven compressor (10) in an air supply of an internal combustion engine (5). The arrangement makes possible a precise modeling of the air mass flow. An air mass flow in the air supply is modeled in dependence upon a compressor rpm and a compressor pressure ratio and is compared to an air mass flow measured by the air-mass measuring device (1). The invention is also directed to a method for monitoring the air-mass measuring device (1).

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling a charger (2000, 1000) which make possible a reduction of the load on the on-board electrical system especially during run-up of the charger (2000, 1000). A drive signal is formed which drives the charger (2000, 10000 1000). In dependence upon a first operating state of the engine (1005) which directly precedes an increase of the driver command torque, the drive signal is so formed that the charger (2000, 1000) increases its rpm already during this first operating state.

Abstract: A method and an arrangement serve to operate an internal combustion engine equipped with an exhaust-gas turbocharger. An after-injection takes place with the overlapment of the opening angle of the inlet and outlet valves of a cylinder. The after-injection leads to an air/fuel mixture in the exhaust-gas system which is combustible. This mixture is combusted by driving an additional ignition device in the exhaust-gas system.
