Patent EP-1450032-A1 (EP)
Inventor: COLDREN DANA R
IPC: F02M57/02
Filed: 2004-01-08
Abstract: Fuel injectors (14) equipped with direct control needle valves (79)
can add new capabilities to a fuel injection system (12), but can
sometimes have difficulty in achieving low hydrocarbon emissions at
levels comparable to ancestor fuel injectors that utilize a simple
spring biased needle. The present invention seeks to achieve lower
hydrocarbon emissions by reducing fuel pressure before the direct control
needle valve member (113) has reached its closed position toward the end
of an injection event. Reducing fuel pressure can be accomplished in a
number of ways depending upon the particular fuel injection system (12),
including spilling fuel pressure in a cam system or possibly relieving
pressure on an intensifier piston (82). By employing this strategy, fuel
spray from the fuel injector (14) can effectively end before the direct
control needle valve member (113) reaches its closed position, thus
avoiding hydrocarbon production that could be caused by a small amount
of fuel pushed into the combustion space as the needle (109) moves over
the last portion of its movement toward its closed position.

Abstract: Using a simple device, the evaporator surface is kept in a state of dampness
by way of condensed water, offering an air-conditioning system that is able to
suppress the occurrence of bad smells. In addition, in being able to influence the
state of operation of the compressor to avoid the point where bad smells are
produced, power used by the compressor can be controlled. 
     The means for solving the problem incorporates a temperature detection
device which detects the temperature of the evaporator's refrigeration cycle and a
device which determines whether or not the temperature of the evaporator has
stabilized when the operation of the refrigeration cycle is stopped, and when it has
been determined that the evaporator temperature has been stabilized can recognize
any temperature below that of the stabilized temperature as the control
temperature and using the control temperature as a basis, controls a compressor. If
the compressor is a fixed capacity type, the control temperature is used as the
threshold level which switches the compressor on and off, and if the compressor is a
variable capacity type, the control temperature is used as a basis, in order to allow
the temperature of the evaporator to fluctuate, causing the discharge volume of the
above-mentioned compressor to vary.
