20140196698 | VVA CONTROL OF NOx IN A LOW AP AREA OF AN ENGINE OPERATING MAP - When the difference by which pressure in an engine exhaust manifold exceeds pressure in an engine intake manifold becomes less than a selected difference while an intake valve operating mechanism is closing cylinder intake valves at a selected time in the engine cycle, while an EGR system is conveying the engine exhaust component of an air/exhaust mixture from an exhaust system to an intake system, and a certain quantity of NOx is present in engine exhaust entering the exhaust manifold, the quantity of NOx present in engine exhaust entering the exhaust manifold is reduced below that certain quantity by causing the intake valve operating mechanism to close the cylinder intake valves earlier in the engine cycle than the selected time. | 07-17-2014 |
20140202422 | CONTROLLING CYLINDER USAGE DURING REDUCED LOAD ON AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION PROPULSION ENGINE - While an engine is miming with all engine cylinders being fueled, a historical record of engine output torque and engine speed is compiled. When the historical record discloses a change in engine operation from a relatively greater output torque and engine speed to a relatively lesser output torque and speed, fueling of at least one engine cylinder ceases while engine output torque and engine speed remain substantially unchanged at the relatively lesser output torque and speed by continuing fueling of other engine cylinders and by causing at least one mechanism to control the timing of operation of cylinder intake and exhaust valves of the at least one engine cylinder to substantially minimize pumping loss attributable to the at least one engine cylinder. | 07-24-2014 |
20140366528 | COORDINATING VARIABLE VALVE ACTUATION AND TURBOCHARGER OPERATION IN AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - An engine control system coordinates control of a pressure regulating mechanism associated with a turbocharger turbine and control of a variable valve actuating (VVA) mechanism for expanding the range of possible exhaust gas recirculation rates over a large portion of an engine operating map to provide EGR rates which are greater than typical present-day levels while mitigating engine pumping losses by causing the turbocharger to operate with better efficiency in some regions of the map where it otherwise would not. Turbocharger efficiency is improved by controlling the VVA mechanism to set the timing of operation of its respective cylinder valves in accordance with a predetermined correlation of operating efficiencies of a compressor to timing of operation of respective engine cylinder valves, causing the compressor to operate at points of better efficiency than it otherwise would without use of VVA. | 12-18-2014 |
