CONTROL DEVICE OF EXHAUST SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240125264 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE OF EXHAUST SENSOR
Simplified Explanation
The control device of an exhaust sensor includes a processor that controls the supply of power to the heater. The processor starts the supply of power to the heater before the starter for cranking the internal combustion engine is turned on and increases power supplied to the heater when the starter is turned on.
- Processor controls power supply to heater
- Power supply to heater starts before engine starter is turned on
- Power supplied to heater increases when starter is turned on
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in automotive exhaust systems to improve the efficiency of the heater and reduce emissions.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures the heater is ready to function when the engine is started, reducing emissions. 2. Optimizes power supply to the heater for better performance.
Benefits
1. Improved efficiency of the exhaust system. 2. Reduced emissions from the vehicle. 3. Enhanced performance of the heater.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing exhaust system performance in vehicles for better environmental impact.
Possible Prior Art
Similar technologies may exist in the automotive industry for controlling power supply to heaters in exhaust systems.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact overall vehicle performance?
This technology can improve the efficiency of the exhaust system, which can lead to better overall vehicle performance in terms of emissions and fuel consumption.
