MUMBAI, India, Nov. 21 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411025953 A) filed by Hero Motocorp Limited, New Delhi, on March 29, 2024, for 'methods and systems of controlling an idle air control valve (iacv) for an engine.'
Inventor(s) include Kumar, Alok; and Limje, Aniket.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 21, under issue no. 47/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Embodiments provide methods (300, 400) and systems (200) of controlling an idle air control valve (IACV) (214) for an engine (112). The method (300, 400) involves a controller (202) accessing (302, 402) a start air temperature indicative of an atmospheric air temperature when the engine (112) starts, accessing (304, 404) an air mass flow rate entering the engine (112), determining (306, 410) a modelled engine oil temperature at least based on the start air temperature, and the air mass flow rate, and subsequently controlling (308, 420) an opening of the idle air control valve (IACV) (214) based on the modelled engine oil temperature, all under the control of the controller (202)."
