Abstract
A method and a device for regulating the pressure of the combustion gas and/or exhaust gas of a machine, in particular an internal combustion engine. The combustion gas is supplied to the machine via a supply line and is discharged via an exhaust gas line, and the supply line and/or the exhaust gas line has a regulating device, the regulating device delimiting a pressure-regulated section of the supply line and/or the exhaust gas line, and wherein the pressure in each pressure-regulated section is measured at more than one point.
Claims20
A method for regulating pressure of a combustion gas and/or exhaust gas of a machine, the combustion gas being supplied to the machine via a supply line and being discharged via an exhaust gas line, the supply line and/or the exhaust gas line having a regulating device, the regulating device delimiting a pressure-regulated section of the supply line and/or of the exhaust gas line, the pressure-regulated section including a length along which is a plurality of positions,
- wherein
- in the respective pressure-regulated section the pressure is measured at more than one position of the plurality of positions along the length of the respective pressure-regulated section, the pressure in the respective pressure-regulated section being adjusted on the basis of a weighted arithmetic mean value of the pressures measured at the more than one position in the respective pressure-regulated section by regulation of the regulating device delimiting the respective pressure-regulated section.
A device for regulating pressure of a combustion gas and/or exhaust gas of a machine, comprising:
- a supply line for supplying combustion gas to the machine with a regulating device which delimits a pressure-regulated section of the supply line, the pressure-regulated section including a length along which is a plurality of positions, and/or
- an exhaust gas line for discharging exhaust gas from the machine with a regulating device which delimits a pressure-regulated section of the exhaust gas line, the pressure-regulated section including a length along which is a plurality of positions,
- wherein
- the pressure-regulated section of the supply line has more than one pressure sensor with different ones of the more than one pressure sensor located at different ones of the plurality of positions along the length of the pressure-regulated section and the regulating device of the supply line is configured to adjust the pressure in the pressure-regulated section of the supply line on the basis of a weighted arithmetic mean value of the pressures measured by the more than one pressure sensor in the pressure-regulated section of the supply line, and/or
- the pressure-regulated section of the exhaust gas line has more than one pressure sensor with different ones of the more than one pressure sensor located at different ones of the plurality of positions along the length of the pressure-regulated section and the regulating device of the exhaust gas line is configured to adjust the pressure in the pressure-regulated section of the exhaust gas line on the basis of a weighted arithmetic mean value of the pressures measured by the more than one pressure sensor in the pressure-regulated section of the exhaust gas line.
