  • Patent number: 10077730
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and methods for monitoring a prechamber of an engine. In one embodiment, a system includes a combustion engine having a combustion chamber and a prechamber, where the prechamber is configured to direct a flame toward the combustion chamber, a fuel supply valve configured to adjust a flow of a fuel toward the prechamber, a prechamber valve configured to receive the fuel into the prechamber, a knock sensor coupled to the combustion engine, and a controller. The controller is configured to control operations of the combustion engine, to receive a signal from the knock sensor, to determine a combustion parameter based at least on the signal, to determine a condition of one or both of the prechamber and the prechamber valve based at least on the combustion parameter, and to adjust the fuel supply valve based at least on the condition.

  • Patent number: 9926836
    Abstract: A system includes a compressed air system configured to couple to an engine. The compressed air system includes a compression device configured to compress an air flow, a heat exchanger configured to exchange heat with the air flow along a first flow path, and a bypass system configured to flow the air along a second flow path that bypasses the heat exchanger. The compressed air system is configured to selectively flow the airflow along the first flow path, the second flow path, or a combination thereof, to the engine.
