Turbocharger Control Management System

View page
US Patent:
56050445, Feb 25, 1997
Filed:
Jun 7, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/472474
Inventors:
Michael T. Zimmer - Brookfield WI
Richard J. Kakoczki - Waukesha WI
James A. Davis - Ripon WI
Jerrold A. Pratt - Eagle WI
Edward O. Reinbold - Waukesha WI
Assignee:
Dresser Industries, Inc. - Dallas TX
International Classification:
F01K 2306
US Classification:
60602
Abstract:
An electronic turbocharger control system for an internal combustion engine is provided to control at least one turbocharger by controlling a bypass valve and a wastegate in response to the engine speed, engine load, ambient temperature, and the operating environment's barometric pressure wherein the turbocharger is controlled to operate within predetermined islands of efficiency on a pressure ratio versus mass airflow map thereby allowing the adaptation of one turbocharger assembly for various applications. The method and apparatus provides improved engine efficiency and increases low speed torque.

Method Of Determining Knock Resistance Rating For Non-Commercial Grade Natural Gas

US Patent:
60616377, May 9, 2000
Filed:
Sep 17, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/932905
Inventors:
Gregory W. Sorge - Waukesha WI
Richard J. Kakoczki - North Prairie WI
John E. Peffer - Eagle WI
Assignee:
Dresser Industries, Inc. - Dallas TX
International Classification:
G01L 2322
US Classification:
702 24
Abstract:
A method for calculating knock resistance ratings for various blends of non-commercial grade natural gas involves the use of a computer model derived from collecting experimental data for constituent concentration levels typical in field grade natural gas. The computer model is derived using a MN (methane number) calibration curve for various natural gas compositions typical at the wellhead. The empirically-derived computer model considers concentrations of the following molar constituents: methane (60%-100%); ethane (0%-20%); propane (0%-40%); normal butane (0%-10%); normal pentane (0%-3%); mixtures of higher order hydrocarbons (0%-2%); nitrogen (0%-15%) and carbon dioxide (0%-10%). The knock characteristics of isomers of butane and pentane are accounted for by assigning fractions of their concentrations to concentrations of modeled constituents. If the concentration levels lie outside of acceptable ranges and normalization is insufficient to correct for concentration levels, an alternative method (preferably the carbon-hydrogen ratio method) is used to calculate knock resistance rating.
