CONTROLLER AND CONTROL METHOD FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

• This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18297000 Titled 'CONTROLLER AND CONTROL METHOD FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a controller for an internal combustion engine that can inject water at different times during the engine's operation. The controller can perform a first injection process when the engine's intake valve is open, and a second injection process when the intake valve is closed. In the second injection process, the controller increases the pressure of the water supplied to the injection valve compared to the first injection process.

Original Abstract Submitted

A controller for an internal combustion engine is configured to execute a first injection process that causes a water injection valve to inject water when an intake valve is open and a second injection process that causes the water injection valve to inject water when the intake valve is closed. The controller is further configured to set a pressure of the water supplied to the water injection valve to be higher in the second injection process than in the first injection process.
