Boosted Internal Combustion Engines And Air Compressors Used Therein

View page
US Patent:
6651431, Nov 25, 2003
Filed:
Aug 28, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/064913
Inventors:
Jialin Yang - Canton MI
Peter Hofbauer - West Bloomfield MI
Lixin Peng - Rochester Hills MI
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02B 3344
US Classification:
606051, 4152083, 4152112, 1235591
Abstract:
An inlet air compressor for an internal combustion engine is provided which has one inlet and a plurality of outlets. Within the compressor are disposed a plurality of diffusers coupled to the plurality of outlets. The flow is divided among the plurality of outlets so that at conditions of low overall flow rate through the engine, which would, in a compressor according to the prior art, ordinarily surge, allow the flow to be substantially discontinued through one or more diffusers and continue at through the remaining diffusers. In this way, the diffusers with flow operate within an acceptable operating range and avoid a surging condition. The present invention is directed to engines having a wide range of flow rates. A couple of examples are gasoline engines and variable displacement engines.

Multi-Engine Drive System For A Vehicle

View page
US Patent:
6722458, Apr 20, 2004
Filed:
Aug 27, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/938514
Inventors:
Peter Hofbauer - West Bloomfield MI
Assignee:
FEV Motorentechnik GmbH - Aachen
International Classification:
B60K 100
US Classification:
180 654, 180 651, 180 653, 475 5
Abstract:
A drive system for a vehicle includes wheel-carrying first and second axles; a storage battery; and a motor/generator selectively operable in motor or generator modes. The motor/generator is connected to the storage battery and cooperates with one of the axles for applying electric energy to the battery when operating in the generator mode and for applying a driving torque to the axle when operating in the motor mode. The drive system further has first and second internal-combustion engines; a transmission connected to the first engine; a first clutch for selectively connecting the transmission to or disconnecting the transmission from, one of the axles; and a second clutch for selectively connecting the second engine to or disconnecting the second engine from, the transmission.

Sodium Cooled Pistons For A Free Piston Engine

View page
US Patent:
6904876, Jun 14, 2005
Filed:
Jun 28, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/880062
Inventors:
Peter Hofbauer - West Bloomfield MI, US
Adrain Tusinean - Windsor, CA
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F01P001/04
US Classification:
123 4135, 123 46 R, 92176
Abstract:
A free piston engine is configured with a pair of opposed engine cylinders located on opposite sides of a fluid pumping assembly. An inner piston assembly includes a pair of inner pistons, one each operatively located in a respective one of the engine cylinders, with a push rod connected between the inner pistons. The push rod extends through an inner pumping chamber in the fluid pumping assembly and forms a fluid plunger within this chamber. An outer piston assembly includes a pair of outer pistons, one each operatively located in a respective one of the engine cylinders, with at least one pull rod connected between the outer pistons. The pull rod extends through an outer pumping chamber in the fluid pumping assembly and forms a fluid plunger within this chamber. The movement of the inner and outer piston assemblies during engine operation will cause the fluid plungers to pump fluid from a low pressure container into a high pressure chamber as a means of storing the energy output from the engine. Alternatively, the piston assemblies may drive a linear alternator.
