A method for monitoring a molding process carried out in cycles includes determining at least two nearest neighbors in the form of cycle data from at least two past cycles, such that the cycle data of the at least two nearest neighbors lie nearer to the current cycle data than the cycle data which do not pertain to the at least two nearest neighbors. Only those past cycles for which quality data are contained in the data collection are used for the determination of the at least two nearest neighbors. A predictability criterion is checked to determine whether a quality variation of the quality data of the cycles of the at least two nearest neighbors is smaller than a maximum variation and/or larger than a minimum variation. If the predictability criterion is not met, a first notification that a quality and/or a quality datum of the molded part is not reliably predictable is issued.

Method, system and computer program product for monitoring a shaping process

The invention relates to a control circuit () for a waste heat recovery system () for a heat engine (). The waste heat recovery system () comprises at least one evaporator () for converting waste heat from the exhaust gas () generated by the heat engine () into a working medium (), at least one expansion machine () which can be driven by the working medium (), at least one condenser () for condensing the working medium () expanded in the expansion machine () into the liquid state (), and at least one conveying device () for increasing the pressure of the condensed working medium () and conveying same into the evaporator (). The control circuit () influences at least one control variable which controls the energy transmission from the exhaust gas () to the working medium () and/or the energy transmission from the working medium () to the expansion machine (). The control circuit () is designed to regulate the specific enthalpy hand/or the temperature Tof the working medium () entering the expansion machine () to a target value h, T, wherein the target value h, Tdepends on the pressure pof the working medium () entering the expansion machine (). The invention also relates to a waste heat recovery system () for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle () in the form of a heat engine () comprising the control circuit () and to a corresponding computer program.

Control circuit for waste heat recovery systems

A target value progression for a process parameter functioning as a setting variable is established so that an actual value progression for a selected variable has a desired property, or the desired actual value progression itself ensues. The actual value progression occurring in relation to the first configuration is predetermined as a reference value progression for the selected variable, and a target value progression for the process parameter functioning as the setting variable is established by a computer so that the reference value progression as the actual value progression with the desired property or the desired actual value progression itself ensues when the shaping machine in the second configuration operates in a production cycle in accordance with the selected target value progression for the at least one process parameter functioning as the setting variable.
