  • Data acquisition method
    Patent number: 10883897
    Abstract: A method for transmitting the cylinder pressure data of a plurality of cylinder pressure sensors to a central processing unit, characterized by the use of a communication system for isochronous data transmission comprising a data bus, whereby the plurality of cylinder pressure sensors and the central processing unit are connected via the data bus, whereby each of the plurality of cylinder pressure sensors are combined with a data acquisition unit and a data communication unit to form a measurement node, whereby the cylinder pressure data is transmitted from the measurement node to the central processing unit via a time-slot method.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 14, 2016
    Date of Patent: January 5, 2021
    Assignee: INNIO Jenbacher GmbH & Co OG
    Inventors: Herbert Kopecek, Klaus Zoeggeler, Markus Kroell, Thomas Weitzer, Moritz Froehlich

  • Internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 8136513
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine, wherein air is inducted and then compressed. Before introduction into a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, the air humidity of the inducted air is determined and temperature of the compressed air introduced into the combustion chamber is altered depending on the air humidity of the inducted air.
