Abstract

Abstract A charged internal combustion engine ( 1 ) having at least one stage of charging by a turbocharger ( 3 ), in which at least one supplemental compressor ( 4 ) is connected parallel to or in series with the turbocharger, and in which the supplemental compressor ( 4 ) has a drive independent from the working medium cycle of the internal combustion engine.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 128 words
A charged internal combustion engine ( 1 ) including: (a) at least one stage of charging by a turbocharger ( 3 ); (b) at least one supplemental compressor ( 4 ) connected to the turbocharger; (c) an air filter assembly, wherein the air filter assembly includes the supplemental compressor ( 4 ); (d) an electric motor ( 5 ) drive for the supplemental compressor ( 4 ); and (e) at least one closing ( 11 ) or switching ( 8 ) means provided between the supplemental compressor ( 4 ) and the turbocharger ( 3 ), wherein an electronic control device ( 40 ) is present to regulate operation of the supplemental compressor ( 4 ) and the closing ( 11 ) or switching ( 8 ) means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 128 words
A charged internal combustion engine ( 1 ) including: (a) at least one stage of charging by a turbocharger ( 3 ); (b) at least one supplemental compressor ( 4 ) connected to the turbocharger; (c) an air filter assembly, wherein the air filter assembly includes the supplemental compressor ( 4 ); (d) an electric motor ( 5 ) drive for the supplemental compressor ( 4 ); and (e) at least one closing ( 11 ) or switching ( 8 ) means provided between the supplemental compressor ( 4 ) and the turbocharger ( 3 ), wherein an electronic control device ( 40 ) is present to regulate operation of the supplemental compressor ( 4 ) and the closing ( 11 ) or switching ( 8 ) means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 24 words
The charged internal combustion engine ( 1 ) as in claim 1 , wherein the supplemental compressor is integrated in an air filter casing.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 24 words
The charged internal combustion engine ( 1 ) as in claim 1 , wherein the supplemental compressor is mounted on an air filter casing.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 35 words
The charged internal combustion engine ( 1 ) of claim 1 , wherein the control of the supplemental compressor ( 4 ) is a subsystem in the central internal combustion engine control ( 41 ).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 29 words
The charged internal combustion engine ( 1 ) of claim 4 , wherein, wherein the partial systems are connected to each other with a bus system ( 45 ).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 34 words
The charged internal combustion engine ( 1 ) of claim 1 , wherein the control means for the supplemental compressor ( 4 ) is separate from the internal combustion engine control ( 41 ).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 31 words
The charged internal combustion engine ( 1 ) as in claim 6 , wherein the parameters monitored as to the engine operational condition provide an input value for the control electronics.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 29 words
The charged internal combustion engine ( 1 ) of claim 1 , wherein the control of the supplemental compressor ( 4 ) is a subsystem of the vehicle system.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 29 words
The charged internal combustion engine ( 1 ) as in claim 8 , wherein the partial systems are connected to each other with a bus system ( 45 ).
