STARTER SYSTEMS FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND METHODS FOR STARTING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

The invention relates to a starter system for internal combustion engines and a method for starting said engines, especially a starter system comprising an electric starter (4), an electric short-term accumulator (8), especially a capacitor accumulator, which supplies the starter after being charged, a device for determining temperature directly or indirectly and a control device which causes part of the energy stored in the short-term accumulator to be extracted and used to supply one or more consumer before the starting process. The amount of energy thus extracted depends on temperature and is less at low temperatures than at high temperatures.
