Title: Thorsten Rebohl: Inventor in Engine Management
Introduction
Thorsten Rebohl is an inventor based in Braunschweig, Germany, whose patent work concerns engine management and exhaust gas recirculation. His listed patent is assigned to Volkswagen AG.
Latest Patents
Rebohl is associated with 1 patent: “Method for Determination of Composition of the Gas Mixture in a Combustion Chamber of an Internal Combustion Engine with Exhaust Gas Recirculation and Correspondingly Configured Control System for an Internal Combustion Engine.”
The invention uses physically based models to estimate the composition and mass of the fresh-air and exhaust-gas mixture drawn into an engine. The models simulate combustion-chamber filling and aspects of exhaust-gas recirculation, including gas flow, exhaust-manifold behavior, intake-manifold storage, and mixing. This approach can determine additional engine state variables without requiring additional sensors.
Career Highlights
Rebohl’s listed patent connects his work with Volkswagen AG and addresses modeling methods for engine control systems. The invention focuses on estimating conditions within an engine’s intake and exhaust systems.
Collaborations
Hans-Georg Nitzke and Jens Jeschke are identified as Rebohl’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent.
Conclusion
Thorsten Rebohl’s documented invention applies coupled physical models to estimate gas-mixture conditions in an engine, supporting engine management without additional sensors.
