Latest Patents
Moraal's latest patents include a method for monitoring combustion stability of an internal combustion engine. This invention relates to a method for monitoring combustion stability of a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) internal combustion engine equipped with a crankshaft, an intake manifold, and at least one cylinder. Stability is determined based on a deviation of an engine operating parameter, such as engine load or engine speed, from a predetermined threshold. Another significant patent is a method for controlling the starting of an internal combustion engine. This invention addresses the starting process of an internal combustion engine coupled to an exhaust aftertreatment device that has a minimal threshold temperature for proper operation. Within a certain period after engine start, the load on an electrical generator driven by the engine is increased, and the air intake is throttled to reduce the intake manifold pressure to a target pressure. These measures provide faster engine and catalyst warm-up, thus reducing emissions, particularly for diesel engines in connection with an oxidation catalyst.
Career Highlights
Moraal is currently employed at Ford Global Technologies, LLC, where he continues to develop innovative solutions for internal combustion engines. His work has been instrumental in advancing engine technology and enhancing environmental sustainability.
