56050445, Feb 25, 1997

Filed:

Jun 7, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/472474

Inventors:

Michael T. Zimmer - Brookfield WI
Richard J. Kakoczki - Waukesha WI
James A. Davis - Ripon WI
Jerrold A. Pratt - Eagle WI
Edward O. Reinbold - Waukesha WI

Assignee:

Dresser Industries, Inc. - Dallas TX

International Classification:

F01K 2306

US Classification:

60602

Abstract:

An electronic turbocharger control system for an internal combustion engine is provided to control at least one turbocharger by controlling a bypass valve and a wastegate in response to the engine speed, engine load, ambient temperature, and the operating environment's barometric pressure wherein the turbocharger is controlled to operate within predetermined islands of efficiency on a pressure ratio versus mass airflow map thereby allowing the adaptation of one turbocharger assembly for various applications. The method and apparatus provides improved engine efficiency and increases low speed torque.

International Classification:

F01N 3/10

Abstract:

A method for controlling an emission amount in an exhaust gas stream emitted from a power generation system is presented. The method includes determining a pre-catalyst emission level using a combustion engine model. The method further includes determining a post-catalyst emission level using a three-way catalyst model based on the pre-catalyst emission level. Furthermore, the method includes determining an adjusted post-catalyst emission level based on the post-catalyst emission level. Moreover, the method includes determining a difference between the post-catalyst emission level and the adjusted post-catalyst emission level and comparing the difference with a threshold value. Additionally, the method includes determining whether to adjust an actual value of an engine operating parameter based on the comparison such that the emission amount in the exhaust gas stream is maintained below an emission regulatory limit. An engine controller and a power generation system employing the method are also presented.
