Abstract
According to a device and a method for controlling an internal combustion engine, a control device (38) enables controllability of the internal combustion engine to be improved by preventing surging from occurring upon starting or stopping of the internal combustion engine, by opening a relief valve (28) as a turbine rotational speed reaches a surging rotational speed when the control device (38) causes a motor generator (32) to assist in rotation of the turbocharger (12) upon starting of a diesel engine body (11).
Claims10
An internal combustion engine, comprising:
- an internal combustion engine body;
- a turbocharger including a compressor that is connected to the internal combustion engine body via a piping and supplies combustion gas to the internal combustion engine body, and a turbine that coaxially rotates with the compressor;
- an electric motor that drives the compressor;
- an opening and shutting device that opens and shuts between the piping and outside of the piping, the piping being provided between the internal combustion engine body and the compressor;
- and
- a control device that drives and controls the electric motor and the opening and shutting device, wherein
- the control device drives the compressor by driving the electric motor before start-up of the internal combustion engine body, brings the piping and the outside of the piping into an open state by driving the opening and shutting device at or before a time point at which a turbine rotational speed reaches a predetermined surging rotational speed, and start up the internal combustion engine body without suppling fuel when the turbine rotational speed reaches to a predetermined start-up rotational speed of the internal combustion engine body.
