Abstract

An engine system includes an intake passage, a non-deactivation exhaust passage, a second exhaust manifold, a first turbocharger including a first turbine rotated by exhaust gas flowing via the first exhaust manifold, a second turbocharger including a second turbine rotated by exhaust gas flowing via the second exhaust manifold, an exhaust outlet, a main intake circulation passage in communication with the intake passage via a compressor of the first turbocharger such that supercharging air is supplied to the intake passage, a sub intake circulation passage in communication with the main intake circulation passage via a compressor of the second turbocharger such that supercharging air is supplied to the main intake circulation passage, and a deactivation valve disposed on the sub intake circulation passage between the compressor of the second turbocharger and the main intake circulation passage so as to selectively open/close the sub intake circulation passage.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An engine system control method for controlling an engine system having at least one non-deactivation cylinder being never deactivated, at least one deactivation cylinder which is selectively deactivated, a first exhaust manifold in communication with the non-deactivation cylinder, a second exhaust manifold in communication with the at least one deactivation cylinder, a first turbocharger including a first turbine rotated by exhaust gas flowing via the first exhaust manifold, a second turbocharger including a second turbine rotated by exhaust gas flowing via the second exhaust manifold, a main intake circulation passage transferring intake air via a first compressor of the first turbocharger, and a sub intake circulation passage transferring intake air via a second compressor of the second turbocharger, comprising:
determining engine operating conditions;
determining whether a cylinder deactivation (CDA) condition for deactivating the at least one deactivation cylinder is satisfied upon engine start;
determining whether to perform a deactivation of the at least one deactivation cylinder;
blocking intake of the at least one deactivation cylinder to realize deactivation of the at least one deactivation cylinder;
cutting fuel injection of the at least one deactivation cylinder to realize deactivation of the at least one deactivation cylinder; and
closing the sub intake circulation passage when the at least one deactivation cylinder is deactivated,
wherein the exhaust gas, which flows from the first exhaust manifold to continuously pass through the first turbine, and the exhaust gas, which flows from the second exhaust manifold to pass through the second turbine, are consolidated at an exhaust outlet after passing through the first and second turbines and discharged to outside, and wherein the first compressor, which is connected to the first turbine, continuously operates.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the steps of blocking the intake, cutting the fuel injection and closing the sub intake circulation passage are simultaneously performed.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing and maintaining a CDA mode when the steps of locking the intake, cutting the fuel injection and closing the sub intake circulation passage are performed and maintained.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein intake air is supplied to the at least one deactivation cylinder when the CDA condition is not satisfied or when it is determined to not perform deactivation of the at least one deactivation cylinder.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein fuel is injected to the at least one deactivation cylinder when the CDA condition is not satisfied or when it is determined to not perform deactivation of the at least one deactivation cylinder.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sub intake circulation passage is opened when the CDA condition is not satisfied or when it is determined to not perform deactivation of the at least one deactivation cylinder.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing and maintaining a general mode where intake air is normally supplied to the at least one deactivation cylinder, fuel is normally injected to the at least one deactivation cylinder, and the sub intake circulation passage is opened when the CDA condition is not satisfied or when it is determined to not perform deactivation of the at least one deactivation cylinder.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining whether the engine is operating and ending the method when the engine is not operating.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the method is returned to the step of determining whether the CDA condition is satisfied when the engine is operating.
