Title: Innovations by Andreas Nagel in Internal Combustion Engine Technology
Introduction
Andreas Nagel is a notable inventor based in Kornwestheim, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of internal combustion engine technology, holding 2 patents that focus on improving engine efficiency and emissions control.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a method for operating an internal combustion engine, which includes a particle filter in the exhaust gas zone. This method cyclically loads the filter with particles and thermally regenerates it. The apparatus designed for this method prevents thermal overload of the particle filter after the engine is turned off. A critical feature of this invention is a test conducted when the engine is turned off to determine if an exothermal reaction occurs. If such a reaction is detected, a butterfly valve closes to prevent exhaust gas flow through the filter, thereby controlling oxygen ingress.
Another significant patent by Nagel involves a procedure and device for controlling an air supply system of a combustion engine. This invention focuses on managing the boost pressure of the air supply current through a combustion air supply duct. It utilizes a throttle valve and exhaust gas recirculation to enhance the efficiency of the exhaust gas purification system. The procedure allows for the diagnosis of defects, such as leakages in the air supply system, ensuring that the regeneration of the particle filter can be interrupted if necessary to prevent damage.
