Title: Oliver Zink - Innovator in Internal Combustion Engine Technology
Introduction
Oliver Zink is a notable inventor based in Muggensturm, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of internal combustion engine technology, holding 2 patents that focus on improving exhaust gas treatment and air supply systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a method for operating an internal combustion engine for favorable exhaust gas treatment. This invention discloses a method for operating a drive device, particularly in a motor vehicle, which includes an internal combustion engine and at least one additional drive assembly. The exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine is treated using an exhaust gas treatment system. The method checks whether the internal combustion engine is in an operating point that is favorable for exhaust gas treatment. If it is determined that the engine is not in this favorable operating point, the method adjusts the engine's operating point using the additional drive assembly to achieve optimal exhaust gas treatment.
Another significant patent by Zink is a procedure and device for controlling an air supply system of a combustion engine. This invention involves an exhaust gas system and an exhaust gas purification system with a particle filter. The boost pressure of the air supply current is controlled in the air supply system through a combustion air supply duct, utilizing a throttle valve and/or exhaust gas recirculation. 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 from uncontrolled air infiltrations.
