A method is used for determining an operating point of a compressor that includes at least one impeller, compressor blades attached to the impeller, a housing and at least two sensors. The method includes calculating a deflection of the compressor blades. An operating point and a surge margin with respect to a surge limit are determined based on the calculating of the deflection by measuring passage times of the compressor blades at a sensor. A signal that is representative of a rotation speed is determined and is associated with the compressor impeller. In a learning or adaptation mode, compressor blade-specific, state-induced and position-induced deviations from an ideal state are determined using compressor blade-specific passage times that are measured and compared with ideal passage times. In a working mode, compressor blade-specific passage times are measured and the compressor blade-specific passage times are corrected using the determined state-induced and position-induced deviations.

Device and method for reliably operating a compressor at the surge limit

To prevent particle emissions, the start of injection of an internal combustion engine is controlled as a function of a detected dynamics of an operating parameter of the internal combustion engine. The dynamics is detected by comparing the temporal change of the operating parameter to a threshold value. The control may be carried out such that, in particular, a value of the start of injection, determined with the aid of a regulation, is frozen for a specific holding period following the detection of the dynamics.

Method and device for controlling an internal combustion engine

A method is provided for equalizing the cylinders of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine is configured as a reciprocating engine having direct injection and spark ignition. A fuel mass is injected in a cylinder-specific manner, and a cylinder-specific air mass and a cylinder-specific ignition time are each adjustable. An injection amount is equalized, then a charge is equalized and then a mean combustion pressure is equalized.

Method for cylinder equalization in a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine

A deaeration and cooling system for a fuel tank of an internal combustion engine includes an absorption refrigerator configured to cool fuel in the fuel tank. The absorption refrigerator includes a burner, an evaporator and an exhaust-gas heat exchanger. Thermal energy for operating the absorption refrigerator is obtained from the combustion of evaporated fuel. The evaporated fuel is removed from the fuel tank and supplied to the burner of the absorption refrigerator.

Tank ventilation and cooling system for hybrid vehicles

A system provides reliable tank ventilation, particularly in the case of supercharged internal combustion engines, while also assuring efficient operation of the internal combustion engine. A tank is connected with an adsorption filter by way of a first tank ventilation line. The adsorption filter is connected with the intake line of the internal combustion engine by way of a second tank ventilation line. A drive apparatus includes a turbine wheel and a pump wheel coupled with one another. The pump wheel is disposed in the second tank ventilation line. The turbine wheel is disposed in a bridging line branching off from the intake line and flowing into the intake line. The bridging line branches off from the intake line downstream from a compressor disposed in the intake line.

Apparatus for tank ventilation

A method for estimating the cylinder interior pressure of an internal combustion engine from a cylinder pressure model having at least the input variables load, speed of rotation, and crank angle (P), which forms the cylinder interior pressure (P) to be determined, corrected by a pressure correction value (&#x394;P). The pressure correction value (&#x394;P) is determined from an observation of the alternating moments at the crankshaft. The modeled value of the cylinder interior pressure from the pressure model is obtained as a pre-control value, and corrected with a correction value formed from the measured value of the non-uniformity of rotation.

Method for determining the cylinder interior pressure of an internal combustion engine

A method for operating an internal combustion engine having a combustion method with homogeneous auto ignition. A driver's demand, predetermined by the gas pedal, is converted into a desired torque to be given off by the engine. A reference charge value for the air charge is determined by a working-point-dependent lambda value (&#x3bb;) that can be predetermined. Based on this, a throttle valve position is set. Parallel to this, a desired torque is calculated for the fuel path with a reference lambda value, and an actual charge is calculated to yield a fuel amount to be injected. The reference lambda value results from an optimal lambda value for the mode of operation of homogeneous compression ignition, as long as the lambda value is within the rich and lean limits, respectively, of the combustion method of homogeneous compression ignition. The fuel mass is varied within the rich and lean limits to compensate dynamic processes.
