Patent ID: 6988493

Claim:
A method for the control of an internal combustion engine combined with a gas-dynamic pressure wave machine, said gas-dynamic pressure wave machine comprising a rotatable housing in order to regulate the process tuning over the entire performance field of the internal combustion engine, as well as a variable width adjustment of the high pressure exhaust gas channel or a variable gas pocket said method, in a positive load variation, comprising the following steps in the order named: the operating speed and the rotation of the housing of the gas-dynamic pressure wave machine being adjusted by suitable means to the optimum position as stored in the performance field, and the variable width adjustment of the high pressure exhaust gas channel or the variable gas pocket inlet being adjusted for the charging pressure required according to the performance field of the engine; and said method, in a negative load variation, comprising the following steps in the order named: the operating speed and the rotation of the housing of the gas-dynamic pressure wave machine being adjusted by suitable means to the optimum position as stored in the performance field, and the variable width adjustment of the high pressure exhaust gas channel or the variable gas pocket inlet being opened as far as possible in order to keep the pressure difference between the high pressure charge air and the high pressure exhaust gas as low as possible.
