An internal combustion engine equipped with a supercharger including a bypass passage avoiding a turbine and disposed in parallel to an exhaust pipe, and a bypass valve mounted in the bypass passage for controlling the flow rate of exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust pipe. A control method for the internal combustion engine equipped with a supercharger wherein an air intake is compressed by a compressor coaxially connected to the turbine driven by exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust pipe to supply a supercharger pressure to the engine; the temperature of exhaust gas flowing into a casing of the turbine is sensed by a temperature sensor; and the pressure of the air intake supplied to the engine as the supercharger pressure is controlled when the temperature sensor produces a signal, to thereby keep the temperature of the exhaust gas at a level below a predetermined value.

Control method and apparatus for an internal combustion engine with a

A power control system for a supercharged internal combustion engine. The system has a passage providing a communication between the compressor outlet of the supercharger and an exhaust by-pass valve actuator, the passage being communicated at its other end with the compressor inlet of the supercharger. A variable orifice valve is disposed at an intermediate portion of the passage opening to the exhaust by-pass valve actuator and the compressor inlet. Control means is provided to control the opening of the variable orifice valve in accordance with the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal of the vehicle or the opening of the throttle valve of the engine.

Power control system for a turbocharged internal combustion engine

In a knocking control device comprising an exhaust bypass valve driven by the diaphragm actuator and a knocking control circuit, the amount of bypassed exhaust gas is adjusted in accordance with the knocking, the upper and lower limits regarding the opening degree of the control valve are determined in accordance with the opening degree of the throttle valve and the signal determining the upper limit concerning the opening degree of the control valve is prior to the signal determining the opening degree of the control valve due to the knocking signal when the opening degree of the throttle valve is changed. Thus, an increase in the output of the engine and an improvement in specific fuel consumption is achieved and the durability of the engine is improved due to the elimination of knocking and a decrease in the temperature of the exhaust gas.
