Abstract: Electrified powertrain control techniques include, in response to a detected cold start request for an engine, controlling one or more electric motors to generate drive torque to physically power an engine for a period to increase a temperature within a primary combustion chamber of a cylinder of the engine, and after the period, starting the engine by combusting a primary charge of fuel/air within the primary combustion chamber using a turbulent jet ignition (TJI) system to combust a pre-charge of fuel/air in a respective pre-chamber of the cylinder using a respective first spark plug and expelling heat energy therefrom into the primary combustion chamber of the cylinder, thereby eliminating a need for a respective second park plug of the TJI system that is associated with the cylinder and configured to heat and promote combustion within the primary combustion chamber.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for improving the operating range of an electric vehicle having an engine wherein waste heat generated during motor operation is transferred to pre-heat the engine. Engine starting is predicted based on the electrical torque demand of the vehicle relative to the actual and predicted electrical energy consumption of the electric vehicle. Prior to starting the engine to charge a battery of the motor, various engine components are pre-heated in an order that improves vehicle range while also optimizing fuel economy.

Abstract: A system for rapidly heating a vehicle engine when the engine is below a pre-determined temperature allows for improved fuel efficiency after a vehicle cold-start. The system includes an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) loop having a two-phase ORC fluid traveling circuitously through a conduit. The ORC fluid is vaporized by a power electronics cooling device and by an evaporator in thermal communication with exhaust waste heat. The vaporized ORC fluid is passed through an expander to generate electrical power. When the vehicle engine is below the pre-determined temperature, heat from the vaporized ORC fluid is transferred directly or indirectly to the engine. When the vehicle engine is at or above the pre-determined temperature, heat from the vaporized ORC fluid is instead transferred to an alternate heat sink.

Abstract: An electronic control for engine block heater elements for heating an engine to an engine ready temperature includes a power input, a power output, and a controller. The controller includes a clock for keeping a time and a temperature sensor for sensing a temperature. The controller is configured for controlling the power from the power input to the power output in at least two modes of operation for heating the engine to the engine ready temperature. The second mode of timed ready is where the power from the power input to the power output is connected at a pre-calculated time interval for the purpose of making ready the subject vehicle for starting at the desired start time as set by the user. The third mode of maintain ready is where the power from the electrical outlet to the engine block heater element is regulated to maintain the engine ready temperature.

Abstract: An energy consumption controller may be communicatively coupled with a plurality of alternative energy sources and an engine. The controller may be configured to manage energy consumption from the alternative energy sources interconnected with the engine and to keep the engine within a desired temperature range. Within the desired temperature range, the engine will start and run at a full load more rapidly than if the engine cooled excessively. The controller may change the selected energy source as required, based on factors such as cost, engine maintenance and testing and/or imminent need of the engine.

Abstract: An engine block heater and an engine block heater cord set. The heater has a cavity formed from a plurality of opposed lobes spaced symmetrically about its upper end. The lobes matingly engage a connector of a cord set. First and second electrical terminal are disposed within opposed lobes and are electrically coupled to a heating element. The cord set comprises an electrical power cord engagable with the heater. A connector includes a plurality of power contacts, where the number of power contacts is four or more and a multiple of two. Each of the power contacts is electrically bonded to one of first and second electrical conductors. The power contacts are positioned symmetrically relative to one another on the connector with diagonally opposite contacts having a different polarity and spaced apart by a distance generally equal to the distance between the electrical terminals of the heater.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for improving crankcase ventilation by directing heated air to a crankcase. Air is drawn into the crankcase upon passage through an interstitial space of a double walled exhaust manifold where it is heated. Crankcase vapors are then released to the engine intake, downstream of an intake throttle.
