A method and a device for diagnosing an air supply of an internal combustion engine which includes a first air duct for supplying air to a cylinder and a second air duct for supplying air to a heater for heating an exhaust system. The first and second airs ducts each have a mass flow sensor for measuring a mass of the air flowing therethrough, a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure in the air duct, and a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the air flowing therethrough. The first and second air ducts originate from a common air filter. Depending on operating states of the cylinders and heater, measured values of the mass flow sensors, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors of the first and second ducts are compared with one another or with comparison values, and a result of the diagnosis is ascertained depending on the comparison.

Method and device for diagnosing an air supply of an internal combustion engine

An air supply to an internal combustion engine, which includes at least one cylinder and a heater. A first air duct is provided for supplying air to the at least one cylinder of the internal combustion engine for operating the internal combustion engine and a second air duct is provided for supplying air to a heater for heating an exhaust system of the internal combustion engine. The first and second air ducts are connected by a third air duct to an air filter, for providing filtered ambient air to the internal combustion engine. The first and second air ducts in each case have at least one control element for controlling the amount of air flowing through. The second and third air ducts in each case have a mass flow sensor for measuring a mass of the air flowing through the relevant air duct. Methods and devices for diagnosing the air supply are also described.

Air supply to an internal combustion engine and method and device for diagnosing an air supply to an internal combustion engine

A method and device for operating an internal combustion engine including a first air duct supplying air to a cylinder of the internal combustion engine, and a second air duct supplying air to a heater for heating an exhaust system. The first and the second air duct each have at least one control element for controlling the amount of air flowing through. The first and the second air ducts are connected by a third air duct to an air filter for providing filtered ambient air to the internal combustion engine. A mass flow sensor is arranged in the third air duct for measuring an amount of air flowing through the third air duct. The measured signal of the mass flow sensor is used to regulate the amount of air flowing through the first and second air ducts as a function of operating states of the internal combustion engine.

A method and a device for operating an internal combustion engine including a first air duct for supplying air to a cylinder and a second air duct for supplying air to a heater for heating an exhaust system. The first and second air ducts each have a control element for controlling the amount of air flowing through them and a mass flow sensor for measuring the amount of air flowing through them. The first and second air ducts are connected to a common air filter, for providing filtered ambient air of the internal combustion engine. A regulation of the amount of air flowing through the first and second air ducts takes place using the measurement signals, depending on operating states of the internal combustion engine. A mutual influence of the air flowing through the first or second air duct is taken into account.

The disclosure relates to a method for clamping a lithium ion accumulator, which has a lithium ion accumulator cell stack having a top surface, a base surface opposite the top surface and a peripheral surface having four side surfaces, and at least two prismatic lithium ion accumulator cells. The lithium ion accumulator cell stack is clamped by at least one tension strap apparatus which is arranged and tensioned in the region of the peripheral surface, the ends of the tension strap meanwhile being kept free of tension. While free of tension, the ends of the tension strap are connected to each other directly or indirectly by using one or two plates, which are arranged on a side surface or two mutually opposite side surfaces of the peripheral surface. The disclosure further relates to a lithium ion accumulator and a motor vehicle having a lithium ion accumulator.

A battery cell module includes a plurality of battery cells, in particular lithium-ion battery cells which are arranged in a packet and each of which has a substantially prismatic cell housing. Each cell housing has the three dimensions: housing height, housing width, and housing depth. Two of the dimensions are carried out in a substantially identical manner in all the battery cells of the battery cell module, and the third dimension is carried out differently in at least two battery cells of the battery cell module. A battery includes said battery cell module and a motor vehicle includes said battery.

Battery cell module, battery, and motor vehicle

A battery includes an essentially airtight housing having an air-permeable opening for pressure compensation. The battery also includes a plurality of battery cells arranged in the housing. The battery also includes an active cooling device configured to cool the battery cells in the housing. The cooling device includes a coolant and a distributor block configured to distribute the coolant. The battery also includes an air duct integrated in the distributor block. The air duct is configured and arranged such that the air-permeable opening of the housing is connected to ambient air via the air duct.

Battery having reduced condensate formation due to water separation

A battery includes at least one battery module having a lower face, a cooling plate having an upper face, and a fixing system configured for the at least one battery module. The battery module is arranged on the upper face of the cooling plate. The fixing system includes at least two rails running at a distance from each other. The at least one battery module is fixed on the cooling plate by the rails in such a way that the lower face of the battery module is in direct contact with the upper face of the cooling plate. A motor vehicle includes the battery.
