Patent number: 11555440Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for boosted engines. In one example, a method for a boosted engine method may include storing compressed air in a reservoir for supply to the engine during increased engine load operating conditions and replenishing the air in response to pressure dropping below a nominal threshold; and increasing the pressure beyond the nominal threshold in response to increased temperature of the stored air in the reservoir even when operating conditions include decreased engine load, and purging the increased temperature stored air to bring pressure back down toward the nominal threshold. In one example, increasing pressure to the reservoir may include supplying compressed air from an air suspension system. In one example, increasing pressure to the reservoir may include supplying compressed air from an air compressor separate from an engine turbocharger compressor.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2021Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Jagjit Romana, Kyle Ebner, Chris P. Roxin, Oliver Martinovski, Jacquita McKinney

Patent number: 11530641Abstract: Methods are provided for engines. In one example method, at higher engine load, cool compressed air is drawn into an engine via an air intake passage, and at lower engine load, ambient air is drawn into the engine via a duct while retaining cooled compressed air in the air intake passage. The compressed air may be released from the air intake passage based on heat transferred to the compressed air during the lower engine load, in at least one example.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2021Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Jagjit Romana, Oliver Martinovski, Kyle Ebner, Jacquita McKinney, Christian Roxin

Patent number: 11133540Abstract: A battery thermal management system according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a battery assembly and a coolant subsystem that circulates coolant through the battery assembly. The battery assembly is heated by a first portion of the coolant from an engine if a temperature of the battery assembly is below a first temperature threshold and is cooled by a second portion of the coolant from a chiller if the temperature is above a second temperature threshold.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2020Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Jim William Dunham, Eric Emil Jackson, Paul Elia, Timothy Alan Mouch, Jagjit Romana, Chris P.

Publication number: 20200191046Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for boosted engine systems. In one example, a system may include a pressurized air induction system with two pathways, the first for delivering ambient and the second for delivering boosted air to the engine. The pressurized air induction system is also adapted to store boosted air for faster supply of boost pressure in the event of demand for greater engine torque.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2020Publication date: June 18, 2020Inventors: Jagjit Romana, Oliver Martinovski, Kyle Ebner, Jacquita McKinney, Christian Roxin
