Title: Innovations by Thomas Spaegele
Introduction
Thomas Spaegele is a notable inventor based in Tettnang, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of internal combustion engines, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the operational reliability and diagnostic capabilities of these engines.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a "Diagnostic function for an internal combustion engine." This invention introduces a diagnostic function that determines engine power through a power-determining signal. This signal is derived from a first signal from a determination device and a second signal from a torque controller, based on engine torque. The system allows for the selection of either the determination device or the torque controller to dominate the power determining signal. In cases where engine torque values are implausible, an error mode is activated, ensuring the reliability of the engine's performance.
Another significant patent is the "System for regulating an internal combustion engine." This system regulates the maximum combustion pressure by modifying the start of the injection process. The invention aims to improve the operational reliability of the internal combustion engine by diagnosing maximum combustion pressure through the detection of abnormal values. This diagnosis determines operational modes and sets a diagnosis value accordingly. Additionally, the output of the injection start regulator is limited by a mechanism to enhance safety and efficiency.
