Abstract:
1. A system for managing a deactivation of a combustion chamber of a heat engine comprising: a plurality of combustion chambers, each of which is mounted a piston connected to an output shaft in order to apply a torque thereto, a rotating machine connected to the output shaft and associated with a management member connected to the rotating machine, wherein the management member is configured so as to detect conditions of deactivation of a one of the plurality of combustion chambers and to control the rotating machine in order to apply to the output shaft, prior to the deactivation of the one combustion chamber, a compensating torque tending to cause a resultant torque applied to the output shaft to change toward a deactivation torque applied by the heat engine to the output shaft after deactivation of the one combustion chamber.
