In a compressor of a turbocharger of an internal combustion engine comprising a housing with an inflow channel; a compressor impeller arranged in the inflow channel; and a bypass channel which has a first flow opening upstream of the compressor impeller inlet, a second flow opening downstream of the compressor impeller inlet and an axial annular chamber which connects the first and the second flow openings. An axial vane structure is provided in the axial annular chamber of the bypass channel, which imparts a swirl direction corresponding to that of the air mass flow in the inflow channel to the air mass flowing through the bypass channel from the second to the first flow opening.

In a method of operating a compressor near the compressor pumping limit wherein the compressor includes a control arrangement for adjusting the momentary operating state of the compressor, the flow velocity of a mass flow through the compressor in the boundary layer along the wall of the flow passage is determined for detecting operation of the compressor close to the pumping limit from a reversal of the direction of the mass flow vector in the boundary layer and the control arrangement is actuated so as to prevent the compressor from transgressing the pumping limit.

In a method for operating an internal combustion engine with exhaust gas purification system, a rich-burn mode of the internal combustion engine with a rich exhaust gas composition or a lean-burn mode of the internal combustion engine with a lean exhaust gas composition is set alternately, and the quantity of fuel which is introduced during a combustion cycle of the internal combustion engine is introduced by at least one preinjection, at least one main injection and at least one afterinjection.

Method for operating an internal combustion engine

A method for operating an internal combustion engine used as a fuel which, special fuel characteristics, during combustion by compression ignition may achieve a favorable efficiency, and may provide consumption advantages over conventional combustion methods using conventional fuels. The fuel used may be straight-run naphtha, which is also known as raw gasoline. The fuel characteristics of this fuel are less expensive than conventional fuels, since expensive further treatment of the fuel may be dispensed with during production.

Internal combustion engine with compression ignition

In a method of operating a diesel internal combustion engine, wherein a homogeneous mixture is formed in the combustion space before a spontaneous ignition by means of fuel injected directly into separately supplied combustion air, which combustion air is admitted to the combustion space in a swirling flow about the longitudinal axis of the cylinder that can be adjusted as regards its swirl intensity by a control element. A control unit adjusts the swirl intensity in a manner coordinated with the injection parameters to provide a homogeneous mixture igniting at a predetermined point for highly effective engine operation with low emissions.

Method of operating a diesel internal combustion engine

An exhaust-gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine has an exhaust-gas turbine in the exhaust tract and a compressor in the intake tract, the exhaust-gas turbine and the compressor being connected via a shaft which is supported in a casing of the exhaust-gas turbocharger via at least one bearing. In order to improve the efficiency of the turbocharger, the bearing has a non-contact design, in that, when the exhaust-gas turbocharger is in operation, the shaft is held at a distance from, and so as to be virtually free of friction with, a bearing receptacle fixed to the casing.

An exhaust gas turbocharger with an exhaust gas turbine and a radial compressor includes an impeller which pumps air through guide vanes or wedge guide elements into a helical passage. It is proposed that the guide vanes or wedge vane elements be guided for axial displacement in the casing of the radial compressor and be able to be shifted across the pumped stream of the impeller.

Exhaust gas turbocharger

The invention provides a process for adjustment of the charging pressure in an internal-combustion engine exhaust gas turbocharger having an adjustable turbine geometry, to a predetermined operating-point-dependent desired charging pressure value. A fuzzy control function in an electronic control unit has as input quantities, a control difference and a control quantity, the latter being determined as the difference between an engine-operating-point-dependent maximum permissible differential pressure and a current differential pressure. The differential pressure is calculated as the difference from the exhaust back pressure and the charging pressure, so that unacceptable super elevation of the exhaust back pressure is recognized in the case of a positive load change, and is corrected by opening the blade position of the exhaust gas turbocharger with the variable turbine geometry, so that an optimum buildup of the torque takes place.

The invention relates to a diesel internal combustion engine with an exhaust treatment device for the reduction of nitrogen oxides and with a fuel injection system comprising a high-pressure pump and at least one solenoid valve-controlled injection nozzle. The injection nozzle is actuated by an electronic control unit and is intended both for the primary injection, provided for the combustion, and for the additional injection, influencing the effectiveness of the exhaust treatment device. The fuel injection nozzle provided for the primary injection also provides for the secondary injection. The secondary injection takes place as a supplementary injection at the earliest in the region of the end phase of the combustion after the ignition top dead center.
