Method For Controlling Low Temperature Combustion

View page
US Patent:
8267065, Sep 18, 2012
Filed:
Nov 8, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/291852
Inventors:
Eric Kurtz - Dearborn MI, US
Michiel J. Van Nieuwstadt - Ann Arbor MI, US
Thomas Alan Brewbaker - Plymouth MI, US
Michael Hopka - Saint Clair Shores MI, US
Douglas Kuhel - Wolverine Lake MI, US
David Joseph Dronzkowski - Sterling Heights MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02D 41/30
F02B 3/06
F02M 69/54
US Classification:
123305, 123457, 123511, 12356821, 123435
Abstract:
A method for adjusting fuel injection of an engine is disclosed. In one example, fuel injection timing is adjusted to account for fuels having different cetane numbers. Operation of the engine may be improved especially during conditions where combustion phase may vary.

Compensation For Oxygenated Fuel Use In A Diesel Engine

US Patent:
8442744, May 14, 2013
Filed:
Jul 20, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/839674
Inventors:
Eric Kurtz - Dearborn MI, US
Douglas Glen Kuhel - Wolverine Lake MI, US
Jianwen James Wi - Canton MI, US
Christian Winge Viglid - Aldenhoven, DE
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02D 41/04
F02D 41/40
US Classification:
701104, 701105, 123299, 123672, 123674, 123676, 123703
Abstract:
To partially supplant the use of fossil fuels in diesel engines, oxygen-containing fuels, such as biodiesels, are proposed as blending agents in diesel fuel. Engine calibration coefficients to control EGR rate, timings and quantities of fuel injection pulses, turbocharger boost, etc, can be determined to compensate for the lower energy content of such oxygenate blends compared to diesel fuels. According to an embodiment of the disclosure, the fuel quantity of each of multiple injection pulses is increased proportionally to compensate for the impact of oxygenates. An adjustment in the fuel injection quantity is performed in response to a new tank of fuel and the adjustment is applied for that tank of fuel. A fuel compensation factor (FCF) can be determined based on the actual amount of fuel injected compared to the expected amount of diesel fuel at the present operating condition.

Method For Controlling Low Temperature Combustion

US Patent:
20110168129, Jul 14, 2011
Filed:
Oct 8, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/900959
Inventors:
Eric Kurtz - Dearborn MI, US
Michiel J. Van Nieuwstadt - Ann Arbor MI, US
Thomas Alan Brewbaker - Plymouth MI, US
Michael Hopka - Saint Clair Shores MI, US
Douglas Kuhel - Wolverine Lake MI, US
David Joseph Dronzkowski - Sterling Heights MI, US
Assignee:
FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02D 41/30
F02M 69/00
US Classification:
123294, 123445, 123679
Abstract:
An engine with a high flow capacity brake booster is disclosed. In one example, an actuator is adjusted in response to a flow between the brake booster and an engine intake manifold. Operation of the engine and vehicle brakes may be improved especially when the engine is turbocharged.

System And Method For Compensating Cetane

US Patent:
20120145122, Jun 14, 2012
Filed:
Feb 21, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/401501
Inventors:
Eric Kurtz - Dearborn MI, US
Douglas Kuhel - Wolverine Lake MI, US
Assignee:
FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02B 3/06
F02B 5/00
F02B 5/02
F02B 3/08
US Classification:
123299
Abstract:
Methods and systems for adjusting a plurality of fuel injections supplied to a cylinder during a cycle of the cylinder are described. In one example, fuel amounts are moved between fuel injections in response to combustion phase. Engine feedgas hydrocarbons and/or carbonaceous particulate matter may be reduced when cetane of combusted fuel changes.
