MUMBAI, India, Aug. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421011768 A) filed by Reliance Industries Ltd., Maharashtra, on Feb. 20, 2024, for 'an engine system and a method for preventing compressor surge in an engine.'

Inventor(s) include Arun Manikam Iyer Venkiteswaran; Arun Nehru Pachaimuthu; S Ramanujam; Somashekhar Nayak; Hariganesh R; Trideep Singh; and Manikandan Karthikeyan.

The application for the patent was published on Aug. 22, under issue no. 34/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An engine system (100) and method (300) for preventing compressor surge in an internal combustion (IC) engine (110) during throttle closure condition is disclosed. The method comprises detecting, by an ECU (102) a throttle closure command, operating, a fuel injection unit (104) to cut off fuel supply to the IC engine upon detection of the throttle closure command. The method further includes operating, by the ECU, a turbocharger assembly (200) to an open position to regulate flow rate of exhaust gases to the turbocharger assembly and delaying, by the ECU, start of actuation of the turbocharger assembly to a closed position from the open position by at least a pre-defined time upon detection of the throttle closure command. The method (300) of the present disclosure eliminates the need for additional components such as dump valve to prevent compressor during throttle closure condition."
