Abstract

A method for controlling an engine system having a supercharger and a turbocharger includes: an accelerator-pedal-opening-degree determination operation of determining whether an opening degree of an accelerator pedal detected after an engine starts is a first reference value or more; a first coolant temperature determination operation of determining whether, when the opening degree of the accelerator pedal is less than the first reference value, a detected temperature of a coolant is a second reference value or more; a second coolant temperature determination operation of determining whether the temperature of the coolant is the second reference value or more and is within a temperature threshold; and a boosting operation of calculating boosting contribution rates of the supercharger and the turbocharger, respectively, when the determined temperature of the coolant is within the temperature threshold and driving the supercharger and the turbocharger using the calculated boosting contribution rates.

Claims (13)

1. A method for controlling an engine system having a supercharger and a turbocharger, wherein the supercharger is mounted to a rear end of an intercooler, the method comprising:

an accelerator-pedal-opening-degree determination operation of determining, by a controller, whether an opening degree of an accelerator pedal detected after an engine starts is a first reference value or more;

a first coolant temperature determination operation of determining whether, when the opening degree of the accelerator pedal determined in the accelerator-pedal-opening-degree determination operation is less than the first reference value, a detected temperature of a coolant is a second reference value or more;

a second coolant temperature determination operation of determining whether the temperature of the coolant determined in the first coolant temperature determination operation is the second reference value or more and is within a temperature range; and

a boosting operation of, by the controller, calculating boosting contribution rates of the supercharger and the turbocharger, respectively, when the determined temperature of the coolant is within the temperature range in the second coolant temperature determination operation, and driving the supercharger and the turbocharger using the calculated boosting contribution rates,

wherein in the accelerator-pedal-opening-degree determination, operation, when the determined opening degree of the accelerator pedal is the first reference value or more, the controller determines that the engine is in a rapid-acceleration driving mode and terminates the method for controlling the engine system.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the first coolant temperature determination operation, when the determined temperature of the coolant is less than the second reference value, the supercharger performs boosting.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein in the first coolant temperature determination operation, after the supercharger performs the boosting, the first coolant temperature determination operation repeats.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the second coolant temperature determination operation, when the determined temperature of the coolant is the second reference value or more and is not within the temperature range, the turbocharger takes performs main boosting while the supercharger aids the main boosting of the turbocharger.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the boosting operation, the boosting contribution rate of the supercharger is calculated based on the detected temperature of the coolant and range values of the temperature of the coolant that are preset in the controller, and the supercharger is operated by the calculated boosting contribution rate.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein in the boosting operation, the supercharger is operated by the boosting contribution rate of the supercharger that is calculated based on the detected temperature of the coolant and temperature range values, and the turbocharger is operated by a rate corresponding to a remainder obtained by subtracting the boosting contribution rate of the supercharger from 100%.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the boosting operation, the boosting contribution rate of the supercharger is calculated based on the detected temperature of the coolant and temperature range values, and

wherein the supercharger and the turbocharger are controlled based on rates at which the sum of the boosting contribution rate of the supercharger and the boosting contribution rate of the turbocharger is 100%.
