Abstract:
The invention relates to an electronic torque control and distribution system (11) for hybrid propulsion vehicles wherein the drive thrust is distributed between an electric engine (3) and an internal combustion engine (1) through a transmission system (2) delivering the torque of both engines (1, 3) to the vehicle wheels, being slaved to a control unit (4). Advantageously, the control system (11) comprises an input signal processor (12) receiving a predetermined number of operation parameters of the vehicle (10) and of the engines (1, 3) allowing the movement thereof and at least a control output for vehicle actuator elements or for the transmission system (2).
Abstract:
The invention describes a virtual pressure sensor for a Common Rail injection system of an endothermic engine (1), the injection system comprising at least one fuel pressure accumulating tank, of the rail type, having an input in fluid communication with a high-pressure pump and a plurality of outputs for feeding corresponding injectors (4) by using pressure regulating means connected and depending on an electronic control unit (9). Advantageously in the invention, the virtual pressure sensor includes a fluid-dynamic model of the accumulating tank (2) suitable to estimate and to obtain fluid pressure values used by the electronic control unit (9) for driving the injection means of the Common Rail injection system.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a virtual sensor (10) of exhaust emissions from a fuel-injection endothermic engine (9) comprising a combustion chamber in each of its cylinders, a fuel injector serving each combustion chamber, and an electronic fuel-injection control unit (8). Advantageously, the virtual sensor comprises an input interface (1) receiving a signal from at least one pressure sensor for measuring the pressure inside at least one combustion chamber of the engine (9); a second input interface (2) receiving signals from the electronic fuel-injection control unit (8); and a calculation block to provide estimates of the amounts of nitrogen compounds and particulates in the emissions based on the pressure and other relevant signals to the engine operation.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a parallel-configuration system (7) for hybrid propulsion vehicles (10) wherein the drive thrust is distributed between an electric engine (3) and an internal combustion engine (1) through a transmission system (2) delivering the torque of both engines to the vehicle wheels. Advantageously, the internal combustion engine (1) is a common-rail diesel engine operating at steady state at an operation point having the highest efficiency and wherein the consumption and emissions are reduced.
