20170204794 · 2017-07-20 ·

In a method for the control of a supercharge system with several turbine wheels, each of which is arranged in an exhaust conduit from cylinders in a combustion engine, different from the cylinders in whose exhaust conduits the one or several other turbine wheels are arranged, wherein the turbine wheels are arranged to each operate a compressor wheel, arranged in an air inlet conduit to the combustion engine, a value for the rotational speed of the respective turbine wheels is determined, and the rotational speed of the respective turbine wheels is controlled by way of impacting the fuel injection into those cylinders, whose exhaust conduit is connected with the turbine wheel.

Determination of the quantity of fuel flowing through a fuel injector based on the heating of the fuel by means of an electric heating device

A method for determining the quantity of fuel flowing through a fuel injector. The fuel injector has an electric heating device for heating the fuel and a temperature-measuring device for measuring the temperature of the heated fuel. The method includes (a) applying a predetermined electrical heating power to the electric heating device, (b) measuring an increase in the temperature of the fuel as a consequence of the heating power, and (c) determining the quantity of fuel flowing through the fuel injector on the basis of the applied electrical heating power and the measured increase in the temperature. A method for equalizing the fuel feed at at least two cylinders of an internal combustion engine utilizes the method for determining the quantity of fuel flowing through a fuel injector. An engine controller and a computer program carry out the specified methods.
