  • Patent number: 10428746
    Abstract: A method of controlling an operation of an inlet valve system arranged in connection with each cylinder of an internal combustion piston engine, includes monitoring at least one parameter relating to engine load conditions, controlling using a primary control procedure an opening and closing timing of an inlet valve in response to the at least one parameter, and feeding charge air into the cylinder when the inlet valve is open. In a secondary control procedure a parameter relating to engine load conditions is measured and the closing timing of the inlet valve of the inlet valve system is controlled in response to the at least parameter independently from and with higher priority than the primary control procedure.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8230829
    Abstract: A control arrangement for a gas exchange valve in a piston engine adapted between the camshaft of the engine and the valve mechanism, which control arrangement comprises a body part and a chamber arranged therein, into which chamber a connection for hydraulic medium opens and in which a piston device is arranged in force transmission connection with the camshaft and the valve mechanism. The connection for hydraulic medium opens to a space in the chamber, which space increases as the piston device moves in the opening direction of the valve, whereby hydraulic medium is arranged to flow into the space, when the valve is being opened, and out of the space, when the valve is being closed.
