  • METHOD AND SYSTEM TO REDUCE CHARGE AIR COOLER CONDENSATION
    Publication number: 20170051659
    Abstract: Methods and systems for operating an engine that includes a compressor and charge air cooler are disclosed. In one example, air flow through the charge air cooler is increased in response to condensation accumulating in the charge air cooler without increasing engine torque. Air flow through the charge air cooler is increased to gradually reduce condensation within the charge air cooler.

  • Methods and systems for surge control
    Patent number: 9551276
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for reducing surge in a boosted engine system. One method comprises adjusting an opening of a compressor recirculation valve to allow a compressor recirculation flow based on a combination of a nominal compressor recirculation flow and a filtered nominal compressor recirculation flow. The nominal compressor recirculation flow may be calculated as a difference between a desired compressor flow rate based on a surge limit of compressor and an estimated throttle mass flow rate.

  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR BOOST CONTROL
    Publication number: 20160369716
    Abstract: Methods are provided for improving boost pressure control in a boosted engine system. In one example, during a tip-in, an air bypass coupled across an intake compressor of the engine system may be kept open for a predetermined time. Keeping the air bypass open during tip-in enables the compressor to spin faster, and this faster speeds may translate into reaching a desired higher boost when the air bypass is subsequently closed in less time than heretofore possible.

  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SURGE CONTROL
    Publication number: 20160201584
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for calibrating a compressor surge line. In one example, a method may include adjusting the compressor surge line based on a vehicle speed in addition to a compressor pressure ratio. For example, at higher vehicle speeds, above a threshold vehicle speed, a less aggressive surge line calibration may be utilized in order to improve drivability while at lower vehicle speeds, below the threshold vehicle speed, a more aggressive surge line calibration may be utilized for NVH mitigation.
