Problems solved by technology

As a result, the likelihood of engine damage may increase due to elevated pressure at the turbine inlet and elevated in-cylinder pressure due to controlled intake manifold pressure losses
In addition, a faulty VGT vane can also cause undesirable back pressure

Embodiment approach 200

[0032] At 202 , the method includes determining whether a tip-in is being implemented. It should be appreciated that tip-out may include interrupting throttle adjustment and / or reducing fuel injection in the engine. It should be appreciated that a tip-out request may be sent to the engine system (eg, control system) when the driver has interrupted the torque request via an input device such as an accelerator pedal and / or closed loop vehicle speed control.

[0033] If tip-out has not been implemented ("NO" at 202), the method ends. However, in other cases the method may return to 202 if tip-out has not been implemented. If tip-out is implemented (“YES” at 202 ), the method proceeds to 204 . At 204 , the method includes applying engine braking via the VGT in response to tip-out. Implementing engine braking via the VGT in response to tip-out may include moving a plurality of vanes in the VGT toward a closed position in response to tip-out at 205 . Further, in some examples, i...

Embodiment approach 300

[0037] At 302 , the method includes implementing a tip-out. Implementing tip-out may include moving a throttle plate in the throttle from an open position to a fully closed position. It should be understood that the throttle may have multiple opening angles and thus multiple open positions. In the case of a compression ignition engine, implementing tip-out may additionally or alternatively include shutting off fuel delivery to the cylinder.

[0038] Next at 304 , the method includes moving a plurality of vanes in the variable geometry turbocharger toward a closed position in response to tip-out. In one example, the vanes are in a turbine of a variable geometry turbocharger. In one example, the closed position of the plurality of vanes is a configuration of the vanes in a turbine in which airflow through the turbine is substantially prevented. Further in one example, the step of moving a plurality of vanes in the variable geometry turbocharger is performed when a request for...

Embodiment approach 400

[0043] At 402 , the method includes receiving a tip-out request. The tip-out request is generated and sent to the control system in response to a driver interrupting torque request via an input device such as an accelerator pedal and / or vehicle closed loop speed control. It should be appreciated that the tip-out request may be generated in response to driver input from the accelerator pedal and / or closed loop speed control of the vehicle. Specifically, the driver may interrupt the torque request via the accelerator pedal to initiate a tip-in, or the vehicle closed loop speed control may request no torque.

[0044] At 404 , the method includes initiating tip-in in response to receiving a tip-out request. Initiating tip-out may include moving a throttle plate in the throttle from an open position toward a fully closed position at 406 . Alternatively, in the case of compression ignition, tip-out may include shutting off cylinder fuel delivery.

[0045] Next at 408 the method i...

Abstract

A method for operating an engine system is described herein. The method includes moving a plurality of vanes in a variable geometry turbocharger toward a closed position in response to tip-out and after moving the plurality of vanes toward the closed position, moving an EGR valve from a fully closed position toward an open position in response to tip-in, the EGR valve in fluidic communication with an exhaust sub-system upstream of the turbine. The method further includes, after moving the EGR valve toward an open position, moving the plurality of vanes based on one or more of a driver-requested torque, engine speed, and engine temperature

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for reducing vane sticking in a variable geometry turbocharger. Background technique [0002] Boosted engines may provide many benefits, such as reduced emissions and increased fuel efficiency, when compared to naturally aspirated engines of similar power output. Additionally, a boosted engine can be lighter than a naturally aspirated engine with a similar power output. Thus, vehicle efficiency is improved when the engine is boosted by a device such as a turbocharger. [0003] However, during certain operating conditions (such as tip-in, cranking, etc.), turbochargers may experience lag. Lag reduces engine power output and delays throttle response, thereby affecting vehicle performance and reducing customer satisfaction. Furthermore, fixed vane turbochargers may only be sized to operate efficiently within a restricted range of engine speeds, thereby reducing engine operating efficiency. Specific...
