AIR SUPPLY TO AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DIAGNOSING AN AIR SUPPLY TO AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18536406 titled 'AIR SUPPLY TO AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DIAGNOSING AN AIR SUPPLY TO AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Simplified Explanation: This patent application describes an air supply system for an internal combustion engine, consisting of a heater, air ducts for supplying air to the engine cylinders and the heater, and control elements for regulating air flow. Mass flow sensors are used to measure the air flowing through the ducts, and diagnostic methods and devices are included.
- The system includes a heater for heating the exhaust system of the internal combustion engine.
- Air is supplied to the engine cylinders and the heater through separate air ducts.
- A third air duct connects the first and second ducts to an air filter for providing filtered ambient air to the engine.
- Control elements are present in each air duct to control the amount of air flowing through.
- Mass flow sensors are used in the second and third air ducts to measure the mass of air flow.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for internal combustion engines - Heating systems for exhaust systems in various vehicles
Problems Solved: - Efficient air supply to the engine and heater - Monitoring and controlling air flow for optimal engine performance

Original Abstract Submitted
An air supply to an internal combustion engine, which includes at least one cylinder and a heater. A first air duct is provided for supplying air to the at least one cylinder of the internal combustion engine for operating the internal combustion engine and a second air duct is provided for supplying air to a heater for heating an exhaust system of the internal combustion engine. The first and second air ducts are connected by a third air duct to an air filter, for providing filtered ambient air to the internal combustion engine. The first and second air ducts in each case have at least one control element for controlling the amount of air flowing through. The second and third air ducts in each case have a mass flow sensor for measuring a mass of the air flowing through the relevant air duct. Methods and devices for diagnosing the air supply are also described.
