In this thesis, the influence of hybrid function on internal combustion engine warm-up is systematically identified. For that purpose, warm-up runs on an engine test bed and simulations have been carried out.
For a certain engine, the complete chain of effects from the modified load profile to the changes in warm-up and finally to the influence on fuel economy is dissolved. It is shown that the engine warms up very slow; therefore the fuel saving potential of hybrid functions is reduced. This problem can be encountered with heat management measures, e.g. an exhaust heat exchanger. Constricting the use of hybrid functions, aiming for a faster warm up, is in general not beneficial for fuel consumption. With an electrically heated catalyst, hybrid functions can be used right from the start. However, the fuel saving potential is largely consumed by the additional demand for electric energy.
