Supercharging pressure control device for an exhaust gas turbocharger

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7123731

An internal combustion engine is described comprising: an exhaust gas turbocharger means, comprising a compressor means and an exhaust gas turbine means for rotating the compressor means, for supercharging intake air to the internal combustion engine; a fuel supply means having an injection valve means for injecting fuel; a bypass channel means for permitting exhaust gas to bypass the exhaust gas turbine; a supercharging pressure control device means for controlling a supercharging pressure downstream of the compressor means in conformance with an engine comprising: a bypass control valve means for increasing the flow of exhaust gas to pass through the bypass channel means when the supercharging pressure downstream of the compressor means exceeds a first set value; a velocity control device means for controlling the exhaust gas flow comprising a throttle valve means for decreasing a velocity of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust gas turbine when the supercharging pressure downstream of the compressor means exceeds a second set value less than the first set value; a pressure sensor means for detecting the supercharging pressure downstream from the compressor means; and a controller comprising a fuel cutoff control means for de-activating the fuel supply means when the pressure sensor means detects a rise in supercharging pressure above a third set value greater than the first set value. The control means is also for re-activating the fuel supply means when the pressure sensor means detects a reduction in the supercharging pressure below a fourth set value less than the first set value.
