  • Patent number: 8220265
    Abstract: A method is provided for operating a stationary internal combustion machine including a compressor device of variable compressor geometry which compresses gas fed to the internal combustion machine, and a throttle device which is connected downstream of the compressor device and with which the amount of compressed gas fed to the internal combustion machine is variable. The internal combustion machine is regulated by way of the actuation of at least two adjusting members, wherein the internal combustion machine is regulated to a—preferably substantially constant—engine regulating value. Upon a deviation in the engine regulating value from a reference value, the amount of gas fed to the internal combustion machine is altered by the actuation of the throttle device as the first adjusting member and by the variation in the geometry of the compressor device as the second adjusting member so that the engine regulating value is re-set to the reference value.

  • Publication number: 20080314042
    Abstract: A method of operating a stationary internal combustion machine (1), in particular a gas engine, comprising a compressor device (2) which compresses gas (5, 6) fed to the internal combustion machine (1), and a throttle device (7) which is connected downstream of the compressor device (2) and with which the amount of compressed gas (5, 6) fed to the internal combustion machine is variable, wherein the compressor device (2) is operated by way of an exhaust gas turbine (3) of variable turbine geometry, wherein the internal combustion machine (1) is regulated to a substantially constant engine regulating value by way of the actuation of at least two adjusting members, wherein upon a deviation in the engine regulating value from a reference value the amount of gas fed to the internal combustion machine (1) is altered by the actuation of the throttle device (7) as the first adjusting member and by the variation in the geometry of the exhaust gas turbine (3) as the second adjusting member so that the engine regulatin
