Title: Harsha Mahaveera: Innovator in Internal Combustion Engine Technology
Introduction
Harsha Mahaveera is a notable inventor based in Coventry, GB. He has made significant contributions to the field of internal combustion engine technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to engine diagnostics and performance optimization.
Latest Patents
One of Harsha's latest patents is a method and device for operating an internal combustion engine. This invention features a crankcase and a crankcase ventilation system equipped with a switchable shut-off valve. It includes sensors that detect various operating parameters of the engine, such as a load variable. The invention determines an estimated load parameter based on these detected parameters using a dynamic model. A corrective value of a characteristic value is then calculated based on the deviation between the estimated and detected load variables. The diagnosis is implemented through controlled diagnosis switching cycles, which assess the state of the shut-off valve.
Another significant patent by Harsha is a method and device for detecting different exhaust gas probe errors during the operation of an internal combustion engine. This invention applies a specified forced stimulation to an air ratio, which serves as the basis for a target value of a lambda controller. During diagnostic operations, a function identifies probe errors of the exhaust gas probe. The invention records measurement signals in correlation with the target value curve, allowing for the determination of filter or dead time errors based on specified differences in start and end values.
