An internal combustion engine with at least one combustion chamber, at least one fuel delivery line for the delivery of fuel to at least one combustion chamber, and at least one differential pressure control valve for controlling the pressure in the at least one fuel delivery line. The at least one differential pressure control valve is configured to perform a valve opening or valve closing movement based on a pressure difference between the at least one fuel delivery line and a reference volume having a reference pressure. The internal combustion engine further includes at least one pressure relief valve, separate from the at least one differential pressure control valve, and configured to open to cause a pressure relief in the reference volume and a decrease in the reference pressure if a drop occurs in the power to be performed by the internal combustion engine.

Internal combustion engine

An internal combustion engine with an open-loop or closed-loop control device (), wherein at least one combustion chamber () of the internal combustion engine () is designed to burn a fuel-air mixture using at least one combustion parameters that can be influenced by the open-loop or closed-loop control device (), wherein the open-loop or closed-loop control device () has an emission control loop that is configured to actuate the at least one actuator that influences the at least one combustion parameter as a substitute parameter for NOx emissions by means of a functional relationship in such way that at last one combustion parameter can be set for each target or actual power rating of the internal combustion engine (), wherein the functional relationship takes account of an influence of a change of the exhaust backpressure (p′) affecting at least one combustion chamber ().

Internal combustion engine and method for operating an internal combustion engine

An internal combustion engine () operating in cycles, having:

An internal combustion engine with an open-loop or closed-loop control device (), wherein at least one combustion chamber () of the internal combustion engine () is designed to burn a fuel-air mixture using at least one combustion parameters that can be influenced by the open-loop or closed-loop control device (), wherein the open-loop or closed-loop control device () has an emission control loop that is configured to actuate the at least one actuator that influences the at least one combustion parameter as a substitute parameter for NOx emissions by means of a functional relationship in such way that at last one combustion parameter can be set for each target or actual power rating of the internal combustion engine (), wherein the functional relationship takes account of an influence of a change of the exhaust backpressure (p') affecting at least one combustion chamber ().

An internal combustion engine with a regulating device, whereby a fuel-air mixture is burned in the internal combustion engine with a combustion air ratio controllable by the regulating device, whereby the regulating device comprises an emission control loop, which is designed to control the charge-air pressure as a substitute variable for the NOx emission by the actuators influencing the charge-air pressure via a functional relationship, such that, for each target power or actual power of the internal combustion engine, a charge-air pressure target value can be set, and whereby the internal combustion engine further comprises a variable valve train, by means of which an operating characteristic of at least one inlet valve can be varied, whereby the functional relationship takes into account the influence of an adjustment of the operating characteristic of the at least one inlet valve.

Internal combustion engine with a regulating device

An internal combustion engine comprising at least one turbo charger, which comprises a compressor, at least one bypass valve, through which the compressor can be bypassed by at least a partial stream of air or an air-fuel mixture, and a control unit is provided. The control unit is configured to open or closed loop control the bypass valve. As such, the control unit is configured to at least partially open the at least one bypass valve and keep the at least one bypass valve open during a start of the internal combustion engine. The control unit is also configured to keep the at least one bypass valve open until an engine parameter of the internal combustion engine satisfies a predetermined startup criterion.

Compressor bypass during start-up

A method for controlling an internal combustion engine whereby, in a piston-cylinder unit provided with a prechamber, the quantity of propellant gas supplied to the prechamber is adjusted to regulate the operating characteristics of an inlet and/or outlet valve of the piston-cylinder unit.

Method for regulating an internal combustion engine

A method for a knock control for an internal combustion engine with at least one cylinder, which is assigned to at least one intake valve, when knocking occurs in at least one cylinder by actuation of the intake valve associated with the cylinder detected as knocking, in such a way that the temperature of the charge of the cylinder detected as knocking is reduced, the knocking in the cylinder is reduced, on actuating the intake valve associated with the cylinder detected as knocking, a cylinder-specific and/or a global measure for power compensation of the internal combustion engine is performed.

Methods of knock control

Internal combustion engine with a regulating device and at least one ignition device for igniting a fuel-air mixture in a piston/cylinder unit, whereby on the outlet side of the piston-cylinder unit, a turbocharger and a wastegate are provided, whereby via the wastegate an exhaust-gas turbine of the turbocharger can be flowed through, and whereby the exhaust-gas turbine drives a compressor arranged on the intake side of the piston-cylinder unit, whereby the regulating device, on detecting a predefined triggering condition, performs an adjustment of the ignition time and the opening degree of the wastegate, such that that the overall efficiency of the internal combustion engine is optimized, whereby the ignition time of the ignition device is brought by the regulating device to the optimal overall efficiency, and the opening degree of the wastegate is changed to provide the required output power of the internal combustion engine.

A method of operating an internal combustion engine, wherein a fuel-air mixture is burnt in the internal combustion engine and the internal combustion engine drives a generator, wherein the generator is connected to a power supply network and delivers power to the power supply network and wherein upon or after detection of a dynamic network fault by which the power delivery of the generator into the power supply network is reduced acceleration of the internal combustion engine is prevented or limited, wherein upon or after the detection of the network fault in the power supply network the fuel feed to the internal combustion engine is increased.

Regulating methods for operating an internal combustion engine upon network fault detection

A method of operating an internal combustion engine coupled to a generator in the event of a grid fault of a power supply grid connected to the generator, in particular in the event of a dynamic grid voltage drop, wherein the internal combustion engine includes a turbocharger having a compressor in an air feed duct of the internal combustion engine and an exhaust gas turbine coupled to the compressor in an exhaust gas duct of the internal combustion engine, wherein there is provided at least one bypass valve for bypass of the compressor and/or for bypass of the exhaust gas turbine, wherein upon or after detection of the grid fault the at least one bypass valve is at least temporarily actuated.
