System And Method For Determination Of Egr Flow Rate

View page
US Patent:
6601387, Aug 5, 2003
Filed:
Dec 5, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/010986
Inventors:
Mark Allen Zurawski - Northville MI
Phillip F. Rimnac - Saline MI
Peter Zagone - Huntington Woods MI
Assignee:
Detroit Diesel Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
F02B 3344
US Classification:
606052, 12356821, 12356831
Abstract:
A system and method for determining EGR flow in a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine include determining specific heat of the exhaust gas based on current engine operating conditions and determining EGR flow rate based on the determined specific heat and a signal provided by a sensor. In one embodiment, a species tracking model is used to determine the amount of various species within the exhaust gas which may include oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water, for example, to determine the current specific heat, which is compared to a reference specific heat for the sensor, the difference being used to adjust the sensor value and determine the EGR mass flow rate. The species tracking model uses a simplified combustion model to estimate the amount of each specie in the exhaust gas based on various engine operating parameters, such as fuel, air/fuel ratio, and turbo boost, for example.

Engine Control Based On Exhaust Back Pressure

View page
US Patent:
6708104, Mar 16, 2004
Filed:
Jul 27, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/916975
Inventors:
Matthew Thomas Baird - Northville MI
Brian Andrew Lewallen - Canton MI
Tomislav Golub - Birmingham MI
Peter Zagone - Huntington Woods MI
Assignee:
Detroit Diesel Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
F02M 2506
US Classification:
701110, 701114, 701108
Abstract:
A system and method for controlling an internal combustion engine monitor exhaust back pressure and take remedial action when the exhaust back pressure exceeds a corresponding threshold. The system and method respond to increased exhaust back pressures attributable to various causes to alert the vehicle operator and/or engage engine protection mechanisms depending on the back pressure severity level in an effort to avoid engine/component damage. Fault timers are provided for tracking time fault conditions are present and time that faults are active, with active faults being latched for the current ignition cycle. Available engine torque may be reduced in response to excessive exhaust back pressure. Anti-tampering logic is provided to detect attempts to defeat the protection feature.

Method And Apparatus For Determining Oil Filter Life

View page
US Patent:
20030226809, Dec 11, 2003
Filed:
Jun 6, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/164216
Inventors:
Peter Zagone - Huntington Woods MI, US
S. Weisman II - Grosse Pointe Park MI, US
Ann Rock - Grosse Pointe Park MI, US
Assignee:
Detroit Diesel Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
B01D035/143
US Classification:
210/741000, 210/742000, 210/090000, 210/085000, 210/149000
Abstract:
An oil circulation system that monitors filter life and can notify the operator of the oil filter life status. The oil filter life is calculated based upon oil pressure sensors on the inlet and outlet of the oil filter. Pressure drop, oil temperature, and engine speed from the tachometer are factored into an algorithm to calculate the percentage of oil filter life remaining. If the percentage is below the predetermined level, the system will warn the operator to change the filter. If the percentage is above the predetermined level, the system will record the extent of oil filter life remaining and repeat the process.

High Voltage Fault Discrimination For Egr Temperature Sensor

View page
US Patent:
6434476, Aug 13, 2002
Filed:
Oct 4, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/679478
Inventors:
Peter Zagone - Huntington Woods MI
Assignee:
Detroit Diesel Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G06F 1700
US Classification:
701115, 701114, 701108, 12356816
Abstract:
Systems and methods for discriminating between an EGR temperature sensor fault and actual EGR temperatures which produce similar signals includes suppressing high voltage faults for a calibratible period of time after the engine is started. Alternatively, or in addition, a sensor fault is not indicated unless secondary indicators suggest that EGR temperature is sufficiently different from the EGR temperature corresponding to the sensor signal. Secondary indicators may include signals provided by various other engine and/or vehicle sensors such as an ambient air temperature sensor, engine coolant temperature sensor, oil temperature sensor, or the like.
