Abstract:
A turbocharger system for a diesel engine, comprising:an exhaust driven intake air compressor; a sensor for tracking the position of the engine's throttle pedal and for generating a throttle pedal position signal; a water injection system for furnishing water to the engine's air intake; an EGR system for furnishing recirculated exhaust gas to the engine's air intake; and a controller for receiving the throttle pedal position signal and for operating the water injection system and the EGR system such that the rate of exhaust recirculation will be reduced and the rate of water injection increased in the event that the time rate of change of the throttle pedal position signal indicates that the throttle is being opened at a rate which exceeds a predetermined threshold.
