Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a method for restarting an internal combustion engine, in which a first cylinder (ZYL 1 ) has a low air level and a second cylinder (ZYL 2 ) has a high air level, and wherein a predefined speed threshold value (ns) is selected as a function of said air levels. A method for the restart is selected and carried out as a function of a comparison of the determined speed (n) of the internal combustion engine with the predefined speed threshold value (ns).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for restarting an internal combustion engine, the method comprising: controlling, by an engine controller, an engine actuator to produce a low air charge in a first cylinder of the internal combustion engine and a high air charge in a second cylinder; selecting, by the engine controller, a predetermined speed threshold value, the speed threshold being selected in based at least in part on the high air charge of the second cylinder and the lo…
