Engine Throttle Control With Brake Booster
view source
US Patent:

8353266, Jan 15, 2013
Filed:

Nov 2, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/287718
Inventors:

Stephen Michael White - Saline MI, US
Mike Liebert - Saline MI, US
Andrew Clement Dame - Saline MI, US
Ross Dykstra Pursifull - Dearborn MI, US
Assignee:

Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:

F02N 11/08
F02D 41/06
F02M 1/00
US Classification:

1231793, 12317916
Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided for reducing variability in air-fuel control due to variations in brake booster vacuum levels at an engine start. A throttle position is adjusted during an engine start based on the vacuum availability in the brake booster to control a rate of intake aircharge flow. By allowing aircharge to enter the intake manifold at a more consistent rate, air-fuel control is improved and exhaust emissions are reduced.

US Patent:

8480005, Jul 9, 2013
Filed:

Aug 29, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/847049
Inventors:

Andrew Clement Dame - Saline MI, US
Brent Jacobsen - Ann Arbor MI, US
Robert Michael Grant - Farmington Hills MI, US
Ken Carl Leisenring - Dearborn MI, US
Assignee:

Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:

B60H 1/00
B60H 1/02
B60H 1/32
US Classification:

237 123B, 237 5, 454159, 12333914, 12333924
Abstract:

A system described is for providing improved cabin heating. The system may include a vehicle cabin heating system having a first and second heating system receiving coolant flow from the engine; and a control system for operating the engine at a first engine idle speed upon entering idle speed control operation from previous drive operation, maintaining said first idle speed for a duration, and then increasing engine speed to increase coolant flow to the second heating system during cold ambient conditions when the second heater system is in operation.
