Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine is provided, wherein the internal combustion engine has at least one combustion engine and a fresh gas line and wherein a compressor, to which a trim adjuster is assigned, is integrated into the fresh gas line, said trim adjuster by which an edge section of the inlet cross section of a compressor wheel can be covered to a variable extent. In this case, the edge section of the inlet cross section is covered relatively little in a release position of the trim adjuster and covered relatively greatly in a covering position of the trim adjuster. It is provided that the trim adjuster is adjusted between the release position and the covering position, when substantially the same compressor pressure ratio and substantially the same fresh gas mass flow and substantially the same compressor efficiency are achieved in both operating positions.

Abstract: A method of operating an internal combustion engine, wherein the internal combustion engine has at least one combustion engine, a fresh gas line, and a compressor integrated in the gas line, which is associated with a trim controller, via which an edge-side portion of the inlet cross section of a compressor impeller of the compressor is coverable to a variable extent. In this case, in a release position of the trim controller, the edge-side portion of the inlet cross section is covered relatively little, and in a covering position of the trim controller, is mostly covered. It is provided that in a transition from a traction mode of the combustion engine, in which the trim controller is in the release position, the trim controller is adjusted to an overrun mode of the combustion engine into the covering position. As a result, a so-called discharge hissing can be prevented or minimized.

Abstract: An exhaust-gas turbocharger is embodied with a bypass valve which is disposed in a bypass duct of a turbine between an exhaust-gas pressure line and an outlet cross section of the turbine of the exhaust-gas turbocharger and which is connected to an actuating device for controlling the throughput of exhaust-gas through the bypass duct. Through the bypass valve, a partial flow of the exhaust-gas can be guided past the turbine on demand. The bypass valve has a valve head and a valve stem. The bypass valve is axially movably held with the valve stem. The valve head, in a closed state of the bypass valve, can be placed against a valve seat in order to close the bypass duct in a gas-tight and pressure-tight manner. The side of the valve head that is connected to the valve stem faces the exhaust-gas pressure line.
