New cylinder impulse charge systems permit higher torque at low speed and promise substantial downsizing potential ongoing with reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions. Their immediate response avoids the disturbing delay of turbochargers. Using a fast switching valve in the air intake manifold, they generate a dynamic pressure increase, which provides higher cylinder air mass filling. The short transient times needed for the valve opening and closing process together with the required low air leakage rate call for an effective drive. Electromagnetic spring-mass actuators are well suited for this task. They generate high control forces over long distances and can be designed for transient times below 2 ms. However, they suffer from high impact energies at the stop positions und cannot be used without movement control for the armature. Tight commercial conditions restrict the application of sensors and complex hard- and software.

Advanced Injection System by Means of Sensor Actuator Function

At present, diesel injection systems in automobiles with piezo element drives are replacing solenoid types due to their faster electro-mechanical properties. Their better fuel dosing characteristics offer lower fuel consumption, reduced noise and lower emissions. The limited elongation of the applied piezo elements within some tenth of micrometers makes these systems sensitive against mechanical tolerances, thermal effects and wear-out. Using the piezo element both as an actuator and as a sensor for the elongation and force allows an insight into the injector. The performance of this actuator-sensor behavior is shown together with a self-compensating loop for idle lift drift and a minimum fuel dosing control.
