  • Patent number: 9512789
    Abstract: A supercharging engine supplying compressed air to a combustion chamber as intake air may include at least two cylinders, a deactivation cylinder being at least one of the cylinders, and selectively deactivated, a compressed air tank adapted to store compressed air supplied from a combustion chamber of the deactivation cylinder, a compressed air storage passage formed to communicate the compressed air tank with the combustion chamber of the deactivation cylinder, an intake manifold selectively communicating with the compressed air tank, and a compressed air valve selectively opening/closing the compressed air storage passage, in which compressed air may be transmitted from the combustion chamber of the deactivation cylinder to the compressed air tank as the compressed air valve is opened in a compression stroke during deactivation of the deactivation cylinder.

  • Patent number: 9453783
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for detecting engine misfire has advantages of precisely detecting misfire occurrence when misfire continuously occurs at three or more engine cylinders and detecting an engine cylinder where the misfire occurs. The method may include calculating an angular acceleration factor value on the basis of an engine speed, calculating a variation value of an angular acceleration factor on the basis of the angular acceleration factor value, calculating a threshold point of misfire starting and a threshold point of misfire ending, comparing the variation value of the angular acceleration factor with the threshold point of misfire starting, comparing the variation value of the angular acceleration factor with the threshold point of misfire ending, and detecting a cylinder of the engine where the misfire occurs by the comparison results.
