48 results about "Wastegate" patented technology

A wastegate is a valve that diverts exhaust gases away from the turbine wheel in a turbocharged engine system. Diversion of exhaust gases regulates the turbine speed, which in turn regulates the rotating speed of the compressor. The primary function of the wastegate is to regulate the maximum boost pressure in turbocharger systems, to protect the engine and the turbocharger. One advantage of installing a remote mount wastegate to a free-float (or non-WG) turbo includes allowance for a smaller A/R turbine housing, resulting in less lag time before the turbo begins to spool and create boost.

Control device for an internal combustion engine, and control program for an internal combustion engine.

PendingJP2026058469AInternal combustion piston enginesImpellerWastegate
This improves the responsiveness of the actual boost pressure when the opening of the wastegate valve is changed. [Solution] The internal combustion engine comprises a cylinder, an intake passage, an exhaust passage, a turbocharger, and an actuator. The turbocharger includes a turbine wheel, a compressor wheel, a bypass passage, and a wastegate valve. The wastegate valve opens and closes the flow path of the bypass passage. The control device of the internal combustion engine acquires the actual boost pressure as the measured value of the boost pressure, which is the pressure in the portion downstream of the compressor wheel in the intake passage (S13). When the control device of the internal combustion engine changes the opening of the wastegate valve, it increases the amount of change in power supplied to the actuator when the amount of change in the actual boost pressure over a predetermined period is a first value, compared to when the amount of change in the actual boost pressure over a predetermined period is a second value which is greater than the first value (S51, S52).

A method of controlling a turbocharger wastegate valve and associated apparatus

The application discloses a control method and related device of a turbocharger wastegate valve. The turbocharger wastegate valve is externally connected with a constant pressure reducing valve and a gas storage tank at a through hole. The high-pressure gas provided by the gas storage tank is output as constant pressure gas via the constant pressure reducing valve and acts on an actuator diaphragm. Therefore, after determining a target pressure after pressure of the turbocharger under a current driving condition, the constant pressure reducing valve outputs constant pressure gas according to the target pressure after pressure and an outlet pressure of the turbocharger, so that the output constant pressure gas meeting the demand is flexibly controlled according to the demand of the current driving condition. In this way, the stress on both sides of the actuator diaphragm is adjusted, and the actuator diaphragm is controlled to move according to the pressure difference on both sides, so that the opening degree of the turbocharger is adjusted to a target opening degree indicated by the target pressure after pressure, thereby meeting the demand under the current driving condition. Compared with the related art in which the through hole is directly connected with the atmosphere, the stress on the actuator diaphragm is no longer disturbed by the change of the atmospheric pressure caused by the change of the altitude, and therefore the high-altitude driving condition can be considered.
