F02D2041/228
Working machine
A working machine includes: a machine body; a prime mover that is mounted on the machine body; a fuel cylinder that contains a fuel; a vaporizer that vaporizes the fuel sent from the fuel cylinder and supplies the fuel to the prime mover; a temperature detector that detects a temperature correlating with a decrease in the temperature of the vaporizer; and a controller that imposes restraint on the flow rate of the fuel flowing from the vaporizer to the prime mover when the temperature detected by the temperature detector is lower than or equal to a first temperature.
Pedal reactive force controller
Provided is a pedal reactive force controller including: a reaction force adding unit for adding reaction force to a pedal operated by a driver; and an information transmission unit for converting a depression amount of the pedal detected by a stroke sensor into visual information, and conveying the depression amount to the driver by displaying the visual information in an operation amount display section.
System for sensing particulate matter
Methods and systems are provided for a particulate matter sensor. In one example, the sensor may include a concave inlet for admitting exhaust gas from an exhaust passage downstream of a particulate filter into the sensor.
Device for measuring temperature of turbine wheel in turbocharger and engine control method using temperature measurement device for turbine wheel
A device for measuring temperature of a turbine wheel in a turbocharger includes: a guide that passes infrared ray generated from the turbine wheel and includes a coolant path; a protection unit that protects an optical head which senses the infrared ray; and a signal processing unit that measures a temperature of the turbine wheel by processing a signal corresponding to the sensed infrared ray.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING CHIP ZAP DATA
A system and method for identifying engine wear based on engine oil debris is provided. The provided system and method utilize metallic debris data provided in summary reports. For each object of metallic debris, a zap count, an initial (pre-zap) impedance and an impedance change (post zap) are processed with configurable reference variables. Alerts (suggesting potential engine wear) are generated responsive to the impedance values of the objects of metallic debris and the reference variables.
VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE
When a user requests start-up of an internal combustion engine while PM removal control is in execution or immediately after execution of the PM removal control is completed, an electronic control unit informs the user of the vehicle of a first alarm, so that the user recognizes that the internal combustion engine cannot be started up immediately. This makes it possible to suppress the discomfort caused because the internal combustion engine is not started up.
NVH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BASED ON FLOOR VIBRATION FOR VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
A system for managing noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) based on floor vibration for a vehicle, may include a vibration sensor, which is disposed on a floor of a vehicle and detects a vibration value; and a control module, which controls an operation of a vibration generating device of the vehicle in response to the vibration value detected by the vibration sensor, wherein when the vibration value detected by the vibration sensor exceeds a predetermined first threshold value, the control module decreases the vibration by adjusting a driving parameter of the vibration generating device of the vehicle.
ENGINE CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING WHETHER INJECTOR MALFUNCTIONS CONSIDERING INFLUENCE OF AIR COMPRESSOR
An engine control apparatus and method in which when an injector malfunction is determined based on a difference in variation of angular velocity of a crankshaft between a plurality of cylinders of a vehicle engine, determining whether the injector malfunctions by avoiding the time when the driving torque of an air compressor is applied or at the time when the influence thereof is reduced, thereby preventing the erroneous determination of whether the injector malfunctions from occurring due to the driving torque of the air compressor connected to the vehicle engine.
METHOD OF DETECTING DEFEAT DEVICES
A method of detecting a defeat device includes: determining turbo operation when a turbocharger of a vehicle is operated; determining flow rate of the air to be applied to an intake manifold wherein it is determined whether which flow rate out of a first flow rate of the air passing through a throttle valve and a second flow rate of the air measured by a hot-film air mass flow (HFM) sensor is used as the flow rate of the intake manifold; determining whether pressure in the intake manifold is in a normal range based on the flow rate of the intake manifold; and determining that the defeat device is installed if it is determined that the pressure in the intake manifold is not in the normal range and storing information of the defeat device.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PREDICTIVE EMISSION MAINTENANCE OF AN ENGINE
Methods and systems for predictive emission maintenance of an engine. In one embodiment, a method for predictive emission maintenance of an engine is provided. The method can include a controller obtaining operational status information of the engine upon startup of a transport refrigeration unit (TRU) or a TRU generator set (GenSet). The method also includes the controller predicting engine emission maintenance based on the operational status information. Also, the method includes the controller providing an advanced notification warning based on whether the controller predicts engine emission maintenance.
