Abstract
An engine device executes the control of the opening degree of a main throttle valve when engine load is in a low load area. In contrast, when the engine load is in a medium-to-high load area, the engine device sets the main throttle valve to a predetermined opening degree and executes the control of the opening degree of an air supply bypass valve.
Claims4
An engine device including an intake manifold that supplies air in a cylinder, an exhaust manifold that discharges exhaust gas from the cylinder, a gas injector that mixes the air supplied from the intake manifold with fuel gas, a supercharger that compresses the air by means of the exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold, and an intercooler that cools the compressed air compressed with the supercharger and supplies the compressed air to the intake manifold, comprising:
- wherein a main throttle valve is provided on a connection section between an air discharge port of the supercharger and an inlet of the intercooler, and
- wherein an air supply bypass flow path configured to connect the air inflow port of the supercharger with the inlet of the intercooler is provided, and a bypass valve is arranged in the air supply bypass flow path, and
- wherein when load of the engine is lower than a predetermined threshold value, an opening degree of the main throttle valve is controlled, and a flow rate of air is set in accordance with the load of the engine,
- whereas when the load of the engine is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value, the main throttle valve is set to a predetermined opening degree, and an opening degree of the bypass valve is controlled, and the flow rate of the air is set in accordance with the load of the engine.
