Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method of controlling the pre-rotation operation of a compressor of an internal combustion engine. When the compressor clutch is engaged, the wear on the clutch is proportional to the energy transferred. To reduce compressor clutch wear or increase the maximum engine speed allowed to engage the compressor, compressor pre-rotation is utilized when the clutch is engaged to reduce the amount of energy transferred. Background technique
[0002] In order to increase the pressure and air density of the air supplied to the internal combustion engine, the use of compressors or superchargers is a known method. The increased amount of air provides more oxygen in each working cycle, which enables an increased amount of fuel to be injected, allowing the engine to generate more power.
[0003] When the compressor clutch is engaged, the speed of the compressor is generally low, and the speed of the crankshaft, which is engaged with the c...
