  • Publication number: 20110197580
    Abstract: A control system for an engine that includes a turbocharger includes a restriction estimation module and an engine protection module. The restriction estimation module estimates restriction of airflow through an air filter of the engine based on a comparison between measured and modeled temperatures at an outlet of a compressor of the turbocharger. The engine protection module, based on the estimated airflow restriction, at least one of controls turbocharger boost, controls turbocharger airflow, controls a fueling rate of the engine, and generates a warning signal for a driver of a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7937996
    Abstract: A method of diagnosing operation of a turbo speed sensor that monitors a turbocharger in an internal combustion engine system includes determining whether the engine system is operating in one of a high speed and a low speed range and determining a threshold turbo speed value based on whether engine system is operating in one of the high speed and the low speed range. An actual turbo speed value of the turbocharger is monitored based on a signal generated by the turbo speed sensor. The actual turbo speed value is compared to the threshold turbo speed value and a diagnostic signal is generated based on the step of comparing.

  • Patent number: 7913549
    Abstract: An intake throttle valve (ITV) position determination module generates a desired ITV position based on at least one of a desired airflow in a regeneration mode and an exhaust braking request in an exhaust braking mode. An ITV position limitation module generates a limited ITV position based on the desired ITV position. A transition module detects a transition from the exhaust braking mode to the regeneration mode, wherein an ITV is controlled to the limited ITV position after the transition is detected.

  • Publication number: 20110067396
    Abstract: An intake control system comprises an estimation module and a turbocharger control module. The estimation module receives one of a first pressure within an intake manifold measured by a manifold pressure sensor and a second pressure measured by a pressure sensor at a location between a compressed air charge cooler and a throttle valve. The estimation module estimates the other one of the first and second pressures based on the received one of the first and second pressures. The turbocharger control module controls output of a turbocharger based on the estimate of the other one of the first and second pressures.
