发明名称 Supercharger with continuously variable drive system
摘要 A combustion system comprises a supercharger with an operating range from an idled condition up to a maximum rotations per minute (RPM) of its drive shaft. An engine in the system has an engine operating range from an idled condition up to a maximum RPM of its crank shaft, the engine having at least one airflow demand for each RPM in the engine operating range for providing peak torque output. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is connected to the drive shaft for transmitting a variable amount of rotational energy to operate the supercharger. The control system controls the transmitting of the CVT based on the at least one airflow demand for each RPM in the engine operating range such that the supercharger variably pumps air across the operating range as the engine operates across the engine operating range.

主权项 1. A combustion system comprising: a control system comprising a processor, a memory, an algorithm stored in the memory, and control electronics; a supercharger comprising an air inlet, an air outlet, and a drive shaft, the supercharger configured to move air from the air inlet to the air outlet, the supercharger having an operating range from an idled condition up to a maximum rotations per minute (RPM) of the drive shaft; an engine comprising combustion chambers configured to receive air from the outlet of the supercharger, the engine further comprising an associated crank shaft, the engine having an engine operating range from an idled condition up to a maximum RPM of the crank shaft, the engine having at least one airflow demand for each RPM in the engine operating range for providing peak torque output; and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) connected to the control system and further connected to the drive shaft for transmitting a variable amount of rotational energy to operate the supercharger, wherein the control system controls the transmitting of the CVT based on the at least one airflow demand for each RPM in the engine operating range such that the supercharger variably pumps air across the operating range as the engine operates across the engine operating range.
