SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING ENGINE INLET AIR TEMPERATURE

摘要

A system (200) for controlling engine inlet air temperature may include a compressor (212) configured to increase pressure of air at an engine air inlet (225) and at least one aftercooler configured to reduce the engine inlet air temperature. The system (200) may also include a temperature sensor (260) configured to provide signals indicative of ambient air temperature and a pressure sensor (250) configured to provide signals indicative of ambient air pressure. The system (200) may include a controller (270) configured to receive signals indicative of the ambient air temperature and the ambient air pressure and determine a desired engine inlet air temperature based on the signals indicative of the ambient air temperature and the ambient air pressure. The controller (270) may be configured to control operation of the at least one aftercooler based on the desired engine air inlet temperature.
