Turbocharger system for a two-stroke engine having selectable boost modes
A system and method of controlling a turbocharged engine system includes receiving a boost mode selection signal and controlling the turbocharged engine system in response to the boost mode selection signal.
Mass-flow throttle for large natural gas engines
A mass-flow throttle for highly accurate control of the gaseous supplies (fuel and/or air) to the combustion chambers for a large engine in response to instantaneous demand signals from the engine's ECM, especially for large (i.e., 30 liters or greater in size) spark-ignited internal combustion engines fueled by natural gas. With a unitary block assembly and a throttle blade driven by a non-articulated rotary actuator shaft, in combination with tight control circuitry including multiple pressure sensors as well as sensors for temperature and throttle position, the same basic throttle concepts are innovatively suited to be used for both MFG and MFA throttles in industrial applications, to achieve highly accurate mass-flow control even despite pressure fluctuations while operating in non-choked flow.
Throttle device
Provided is a throttle device including a total of two throttle units in each two cylinders in an engine 1, each of the throttle units having a unit body having intake air passages corresponding to four cylinders of the engine, a throttle shaft rotatably supported by the unit body, throttle valves secured to the throttle shaft to open and close the intake air passages for the cylinders, a motor, and a deceleration mechanism decelerating rotation of a drive shaft of the motor and transmitting the decelerated rotation to the throttle shaft, in which a deceleration ratio of the deceleration mechanism provided in a first throttle unit and a deceleration ratio of the deceleration mechanism provided in a second throttle unit out of the two throttle units are different from each other.
THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM AND THROTTLE CONTROL METHOD
A throttle control system includes a throttle device and a controller that controls the throttle device. The controller executes a driving process of driving the electric motor such that a target angular position of the specific gear continues to increase beyond or decrease below the initial position. The controller executes a determination process of determining that wear has occurred in the gear mechanism based on that a non-rotation time in which the angular position detected by the rotation sensor does not change during execution of the drive process being greater than or equal to a predetermined specified time.
Charge forming device with throttle valve
In at least some implementations, a charge forming device includes a body that has a throttle bore, a throttle valve associated with the throttle bore, a coupler and an actuator. The throttle has a valve head received within and movable relative to the throttle bore, and a valve shaft to which the valve head is coupled. The coupler is connected to the valve shaft and carries or includes a sensor element. And the actuator has a drive shaft coupled to the coupler so that rotation of the drive shaft is transmitted to the coupler and the valve shaft.
VALVE DEVICE AND SYSTEM IN WHICH THE VALVE DEVICE IS MOUNTED
A valve device that includes a valve body; a valve shaft configured to rotate the valve body; a coil spring being electrically conductive and configured to be twisted with rotation of the valve body and the valve shaft; a first conductive member being electrically conductive and facing an inner circumferential surface or an outer circumferential surface of the coil spring in a radial direction of the coil spring; and a first detector configured to detect at least one of a rotation angle of the valve body or a rotation angle of the valve shaft based on an electrostatic capacitance between the coil spring and the first conductive member, the electrostatic capacitance changing according to a state of the coil spring that changes with the rotation of the valve body and the valve shaft.
System And Method For Controlling Operation Of A Two-Stroke Engine Having A Turbocharger
A method and system for controlling operation of a two-stroke engine having a turbocharger includes the two-stroke engine comprising an electronically controlled exhaust valve. A throttle position sensor generates a throttle position signal corresponding to a position of a throttle plate of a throttle. A boost box is coupled to the two-stroke engine. A boost box pressure sensor is coupled to the boost box and generates a boost box pressure signal corresponding to a pressure within the boost box. A controller is coupled to the boost box pressure signal controlling a position of the electronically controlled exhaust valve in response to the boost box pressure signal and the throttle position signal.
EFI throttle body with side fuel injectors
An electronic fuel injection throttle body unit has a core body with two side components. The two side components each including a fuel delivery passage. Four air intake passages extending vertically through the throttle body. Valves are rotatable within the air intake passages. The valves being connected to valve shafts that rotate about respective valve shaft axes. The valve shaft axes and the fuel delivery passages are perpendicular to each other.
