  • Method for controlling a waste heat utilization system for an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 10858961
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a waste-heat utilization system (20) for an internal combustion engine (10) of a vehicle, wherein the waste-heat utilization system (20) has at least one expander (22), which can transmit torque to the internal combustion engine (10) and which can be bypassed by means of a bypass flow path (25), at least one evaporator (21), and at least one pump (24) for an operating medium, and wherein at least the evaporator (21) is arranged in the region of the exhaust gas system (11) of the internal combustion engine (10). The expander (22), which can be operated in several operating modes, has a driving connection to a secondary drive shaft (19) of the internal combustion engine in at least one operating mode. An operating mode of the waste-heat utilization system (20) is selected by a control device (30) on the basis of at least one input variable and the waste-heat utilization system (20) is operated in said operating mode.

  • METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A WASTE-HEAT UTILIZATION SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20180202311
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a waste-heat utilization system (20) for a motor vehicle driven by an internal combustion engine (10) by means of a drive train (13), wherein the waste-heat utilization system (20) has at least one expander (22), at least one evaporator (21), and at least one pump (24) for an operating medium, in particular ethanol. At least the evaporator (21) is arranged in the region of the exhaust gas system (11) of the internal combustion engine (10). The expander (22), which can be operated in several operating modes, performs work in at least one operating mode.
