Apparatus And Method For Controlling The Operation Of A Cooling System For A Marine Propulsion Device
US Patent:
7398745, Jul 15, 2008
Filed:
Nov 30, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/606471
Inventors:
Brian R. White - Stillwater OK, US

Assignee:
Brunswick Corporation - Lake Forest IL
International Classification:
F01P 9/00
US Classification:
123 4101, 123 4106, 440 88 C, 165 41
Abstract:
A cooling system for a marine propulsion device provides a bypass loop around a cooling pump that allows the flow of cooling water through certain components to be reduced or increased as a function of the temperature of those components while causing a full flow of cooling water to flow through other selected heat emitting devices. Using this configuration of components and bypass conduits, the operating condition of the cooling water pump can be continually monitored, including the condition of its flexible vanes. By observing the effective cooling capacity of the system under conditions with the bypass valve open and closed, the effectiveness of the cooling water pump can be assessed and a suggestion of maintenance can be provided.
Engine Control Strategy For A Marine Propulsion System For Improving Shifting
US Patent:
6942530, Sep 13, 2005
Filed:
Jan 22, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/763156
Inventors:
Ronald L. Hall - Stillwater OK, US
A. DeWayne Sharpton - Stillwater OK, US
A. DeWayne Sharpton - Stillwater OK, US
Assignee:
Brunswick Corporation - Lake Forest IL
International Classification:
B63H021/22
US Classification:
440 1, 477101
Abstract:
An engine control strategy for a marine propulsion system selects a desired idle speed for use during a shift event based on boat speed and engine temperature. In order to change the engine operating speed to the desired idle speed during the shift event, ignition timing is altered and the status of an idle air control valve is changed. These changes to the ignition timing and the idle air control valve are made in order to achieve the desired engine idle speed during the shift event. The idle speed during the shift event is selected so that the impact shock and resulting noise of the shift event can be decreased without causing the engine to stall.
