Electric mass airflow turbine control system

Abstract

A system is disclosed for monitoring and controlling the air intake of combustion motor with a forced air turbine electronically coupled thereto for the purposes of controlling the same. A processor electrically linked to the forced air turbine electric motor controller and configured with defined parameters to correlate forced air turbine instructions with engine and intake air pressure conditions. The system includes sensors electrically coupled to the forced air turbine electric motor controller configured to send information from the air intake, forced air turbine, throttle position and other conditions of the engine coupled thereto. The forced air turbine electric motor controller is configured to control the air intake based upon the input received from the various sensors as compared to the data contained in the processor. The system provides turbine speed control to the mass of intake air.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A forced air turbine coupled to an internal combustion engine, the forced air turbine comprising:
 a processor having a condition map in persistent memory, the condition map associating electric motor instructions with engine and turbine conditions, the processor configured to receive sensor measurements;   a plurality of sensors affixed to the processor, one or more of the sensors sensing one of a throttle position, an air flow measurement, a manifold absolute pressure, an air intake measurement, a boost pressure measurement, engine rotations per minute (RPM), turbine fan RPM, and a turbine fan temperature; and   a forced air turbine electric motor affixed to an internal combustion engine.   
     
     
         2 . The forced air turbine of  claim 1 , wherein the processor comprises a non-volatile computer readable medium storing a computer-executable instruction set having instructions for controlling the forced air turbine. 
     
     
         3 . The forced air turbine of  claim 1 , wherein the processor outputs an electronic instruction to a controller in response to measured air flow through a forced air turbine failing short of a target air flow defined in the computer-readable instructions, the controller increasing the RPM of the forced air turbine. 
     
     
         4 . A forced air turbine coupled to an internal combustion engine, the forced air turbine comprising:
 a processor having a condition map in persistent memory, the condition map associating electric motor instructions with engine and turbine conditions measured by one or more sensors;   wherein the processor is in logical communication with one or more sensors affixed to the fuel combustion engine and the processor is in logical communication with a standardized digital communication port of a vehicle to receive diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs);   a forced air turbine electric motor affixed to an internal combustion engine.   
     
     
         5 . The forced air turbine of  claim 1 , wherein the processor comprises a non-volatile computer readable medium storing a computer-executable instruction set having instructions for controlling the forced air turbine. 
     
     
         6 . The forced air turbine of  claim 1 , wherein each sensor senses one of a throttle position, an air flow measurement, a manifold absolute pressure, an air intake measurement, a boost pressure measurement, engine rotations per minute (RPM), turbine fan RPM, and a turbine fan temperature.
