Hybrid Powertrain System Using Free Piston Linear Alternator Engines

View page
US Patent:
20110011660, Jan 20, 2011
Filed:
Jul 16, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/504502
Inventors:
Paul M. Najt - Bloomfield Hills MI, US
Tang-Wei Kuo - Troy MI, US
Rodney B. Rask - Grosse Pointe Woods MI, US
Aristotelis Babajimopoulos - Ann Arbor MI, US
Zoran S. Filipi - Ann Arbor MI, US
George Lavoie - Ann Arbor MI, US
Dionissios N. Assanis - Ann Arbor MI, US
Assignee:
GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS, INC. - Detroit MI
REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN - Ann Arbor MI
International Classification:
B60W 10/04
B60W 20/00
US Classification:
180 65275, 180 6521
Abstract:
A hybrid powertrain system includes reciprocating free-piston internal combustion engines, each including a linear alternator device configured to generate electric power. A control module determines mechanical and electrical power demands responsive to an operator torque request and a state of charge of an energy storage device. The control module operates the torque machine to generate an output torque responsive to the mechanical power demands and operates the reciprocating free-piston internal combustion engines to generate electric power responsive to the electrical power demands.

US Patent:
20120090319, Apr 19, 2012
Filed:
Dec 23, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/336220
Inventors:
Alan Mond - Ann Arbor MI, US
Aristotelis Babajimopoulos - Ann Arbor MI, US
Prasad Sunand Shingne - Ann Arbor MI, US
Hakan Yilmaz - Ann Arbor MI, US
Dionissios Assanis - Ann Arbor MI, US
Assignee:
ROBERT BOSCH GMBH - Stuttgart
International Classification:
F02B 37/16
US Classification:
60609
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine includes a turbocharger and a selectively operable positive displacement supercharger downstream of the turbocharger in the intake path. An input shaft of the supercharger is mechanically coupled to and driven by a piston-driven crankshaft. A bypass valve is configured to selectively bypass at least a portion of the air from the turbocharger air outlet around the supercharger. Power and fuel consumption are optimized by operating the supercharger to dilute the fuel-air mixture to achieve an excess air factor λ above 1.0, and in some cases above the upper range (λ=1.3) of normal stoichiometric operation. The engine can operate in a lean low temperature combustion mode (e.g., HCCI) with the supercharger operating, and in a stoichiometric spark ignition combustion mode with the supercharger bypassed.
