Abstract

See full text

A multiple-cylinder diesel engine system comprises an intake valve and an exhaust valve for each of the multiple cylinders. A valve control system is connected to selectively deactivate an intake valve and an exhaust valve for a selected cylinder. A fuel injection control system is connected to selectively deactivate fuel injection to the selected cylinder while increasing fuel to firing cylinders. The multiple cylinder diesel engine enters a cylinder deactivation mode whereby the valve control system deactivates the intake valve and the exhaust valve and the fuel injection control system deactivates the fuel injection to the cylinder while continuing to fire other cylinders of the multiple cylinder diesel engine. The valve control system selectively opens the deactivated intake valve to relieve a negative pressure condition in the deactivated cylinder. Alternatively, the valve control system opens the deactivated exhaust valve to relieve a negative pressure condition in the deactivated cylinder.
