Method And System For Controlling Engine Exhaust

US Patent:
8360036, Jan 29, 2013
Filed:
Jan 20, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/354991
Inventors:
John Christopher Riegger - Ann Arbor MI, US
Shuya Shark Yamada - Novi MI, US
Steven Paul Penkevich - New Hudson MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02M 25/07
F02B 47/08
F02B 33/44
F02B 75/12
F02D 13/02
US Classification:
12356814, 123315, 123 9015, 606052
Abstract:
An engine having one of a plurality of exhaust valves in each cylinder that may be deactivated is disclosed. In one example, one exhaust valve of each cylinder is deactivated in response to engine speed. The engine may have improved engine torque at low engine speeds and reduced time to torque (e. g. , turbo lag).

Fuel Injector Cooling

US Patent:
8371254, Feb 12, 2013
Filed:
Aug 4, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/850384
Inventors:
Ted Beyer - Canton MI, US
John Christopher Riegger - Ann Arbor MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F01P 1/06
US Classification:
123 4131, 123 4182 R
Abstract:
Systems and methods for cooling a fuel injector of a direct injection engine are disclosed. In order to route coolant directly beneath a fuel injector adjacent to a combustion chamber in a direct injection engine, a recess is cast beneath the injector and a slotted gasket is provided to route coolant from core prints of the exiting water jacket into the recess beneath the injector.

Cylinder Head Cooling System

US Patent:
8474251, Jul 2, 2013
Filed:
Oct 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/907264
Inventors:
Ted Beyer - Canton MI, US
Jody Michael Slike - Farmington Hills MI, US
John Christopher Riegger - Ann Arbor MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F01N 3/02
US Classification:
60321, 60280, 60298, 60320, 60323, 123 4172, 123 4182 A, 123 4182 R, 123 4184
Abstract:
A cylinder head with an integrated exhaust manifold is provided, the integrated exhaust manifold including an exhaust manifold flange. In one example, the cylinder head includes a cooled flange to control exhaust system heat. The cylinder head can improve operation of an integrated cylinder head during at least some operating conditions.

Engine With Cylinder Head Cooling

US Patent:
8584628, Nov 19, 2013
Filed:
Jul 14, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/835988
Inventors:
Todd Jay Brewer - Dearborn MI, US
John Christopher Riegger - Ann Arbor MI, US
Dennis G. Barbier - Washington MI, US
Jeff D. Fluharty - Woodhaven MI, US
Jody Michael Slike - Farmington Hills MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02B 75/20
US Classification:
123 4182R, 1231935
Abstract:
A cylinder head for an engine is provided. The cylinder head may include an upper cooling jacket including at least a first inlet and a first outlet and a lower cooling jacket including at least a second inlet and a second outlet. The cylinder head may further include a first set of crossover coolant passages including one or more crossover coolant passages fluidly coupled to the upper cooling jacket and the lower cooling jacket and adjacent to one or more combustion chambers.

Method And System For Controlling Engine Exhaust

US Patent:
2011016, Jul 7, 2011
Filed:
Aug 16, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/857302
Inventors:
John Christopher Riegger - Ann Arbor MI, US
Shuya Shark Yamada - Novi MI, US
Steven Paul Penkevich - New Hudson MI, US
Assignee:
FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F01L 13/00
F01L 1/30
F01L 9/04
US Classification:
123 9032, 60273, 60323
Abstract:
An engine having one of a plurality of exhaust valves in each cylinder that may be deactivated is disclosed. In one example, one exhaust valve of each cylinder is deactivated in response to engine speed. The engine may have improved engine torque at low engine speeds and reduced time to torque (e.g., turbo lag).

Integrated Exhaust Manifold

US Patent:
2012003, Feb 16, 2012
Filed:
Aug 16, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/857349
Inventors:
John Christopher Riegger - Ann Arbor MI, US
Shuya Shark Yamada - Novi MI, US
Todd Jay Brewer - Dearborn MI, US
Assignee:
FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02F 1/42
US Classification:
123 4182R
Abstract:
A cylinder head of an engine with an integrated exhaust manifold is provided. In one example, the inner exhaust runners and outer exhaust runners have different cross-sectional areas. This arrangement may be beneficial to maintain exhaust flow rates in the integrated exhaust manifold.

Integrated Exhaust Cylinder Head

US Patent:
2012031, Dec 13, 2012
Filed:
Jun 13, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/159318
Inventors:
Theodore Beyer - Canton MI, US
John Christopher Riegger - Ann Arbor MI, US
Eric Dummer - Livonia MI, US
Assignee:
FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02F 1/40
US Classification:
123 4182R
Abstract:
A cylinder head including an integrated exhaust manifold (IEM cylinder head) is coupled to a cylinder block of an engine. The IEM cylinder head comprises an exhaust collector coupled to cylinder exhaust valves, an exhaust port coupled to the exhaust collector, and a coolant jacket for cooling the cylinder head. An upper wall of the cylinder head at a region above the exhaust collector and proximal to the exhaust port may include a degas valve and a temperature sensor. The degas valve may be coupled a top most portion of an upper coolant core of the coolant jacket to direct accumulated steam and/or gas out of the upper coolant core to a degas bottle. The temperature sensor may send a temperature signal to a controller, and if the temperature signal is greater than a threshold, the controller may send an indication to an operator of over-temperature conditions of the engine.

Integrated Exhaust Cylinder Head

US Patent:
2013005, Mar 7, 2013
Filed:
Sep 7, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/227174

John Christopher Riegger - Ann Arbor MI, US
Kevin V. Tallio - Saline MI, US
Assignee:
FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02F 1/38
F02F 1/40
F02F 1/24
US Classification:
123 4182R
Abstract:
An engine cooling system is provided. The engine cooling system includes a cylinder head including an integrated exhaust manifold that directs exhaust gases to an exhaust outlet port and a coolant passage surrounding the exhaust manifold. The engine cooling system further includes a cluster of separated exhaust passages for directing exhaust gases to the exhaust outlet port, the cluster including a drill hole disposed within material between the exhaust passages, the drill hole fluidically coupled to the coolant passage.
