  • Patent number: 9732623
    Abstract: A charging device for an exhaust gas turbocharger of an internal combustion engine may include at least one variable turbine and compressor geometry and an adjusting device for adjusting the at least one variable turbine and compressor geometry. The adjusting device may include a minimum set limit, which defines a minimum set flow of the at least one variable turbine and compressor geometry for an exhaust gas driving the charging device, and a maximum set limit, which defines a maximum set flow of the at least one variable turbine and compressor geometry for the exhaust gas driving the charging device. The adjusting device may be designed such that at least one minimum set limit of the adjusting device and the maximum set limit of the adjusting dive are variably adjustable and readjustable.

  • Patent number: 9605589
    Abstract: A method for adjusting a barometric cell may include coupling the barometric cell to a control device via an actuating rod. The actuating rod may be movably mounted on a charging device in any desired position. The method may include applying a freely selectable pressure to the barometric cell so as to bring the actuating rod into contact with a stop, adjusting the barometric cell until a sensor registers a predefined value, and fixing the barometric cell on the charging device.

  • Publication number: 20130255250
    Abstract: An approach for producing a tolerance-corrected actuator for a supercharging device may include connecting a connecting element to a regulating rod of a regulating component assembly, bringing a tolerance-corrected actuator into a predefined position in response to a defined signal and adjusting a predetermined overall length of the regulating component assembly by shifting the connecting element relative to the regulating rod.

  • Patent number: 7431009
    Abstract: A method for operating a four stroke internal combustion engine in which the combustion position can be set/controlled/corrected. The phase position of intake and/or exhaust phase is shifted for this purpose. Compression ignition takes place at part-load, and spark ignition takes place at full load. In the event of a load change in the part-lead range, the theoretical shift in the combustion position is compensated by the shift in phase position of the intake and/or exhaust phase.

  • Patent number: 7431010
    Abstract: A method includes the steps of delivering a main combustion air quantity and a main fuel quantity, from which a main mixture is formed, to the combustion chamber; igniting the main mixture formed in an area of a ignition top dead center; and introducing an additional combustion air quantity and an additional fuel quantity into the combustion chamber after the combustion of the main mixture in such a way that a fuel-exhaust gas/air mixture is formed, which mixture is reacted in an area of a gas exchange top dead center of the piston.

  • Patent number: 7353799
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for operating an internal combustion engine, wherein fuel is injected in a pre-injection and main injection process. According to the invention, pre-injection occurs in the intermediate compression stroke of the internal combustion engine. Main injection is carried out in an intake synchronous manner. The invention can be used for internal combustion engines, particularly for passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

  • Patent number: 7293544
    Abstract: A method retains exhaust gas in the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine and compresses the exhaust gas during a charge change. A first fuel quantity is injected into the retained exhaust gas by direct fuel injection. A second fuel quantity is subsequently fed to the combustion chamber so that a homogeneous fuel/air mixture is obtained in the combustion chamber. An auto-ignition time of the fuel/air mixture which is formed from the first and second fuel quantities is set as a function of a quantity ratio of the first fuel quantity to the second fuel quantity.
