METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPERATING A COMBUSTION ENGINE BRAKE
First Claim
1. Method for operating a combustion engine brake by means of at least one first operating parameter value which is selected in order to create a demanded brake torque value, comprisingdetecting a brake torque value which is delivered by the combustion engine brake for braking the vehicle, andif the amount of the difference between the demanded brake torque value and the delivered brake torque value exceeds a predetermined first limit value, operating the combustion engine brake by means of at least one second operating parameter value which is selected or adapted or controlled in order to create a corrected brake torque value.

Abstract
A method and system for operating a combustion engine brake especially for a heavy vehicle like a truck or a bus is disclosed. By detecting a brake torque value which is delivered by the combustion engine brake for braking the vehicle, and, if the amount of the difference between a demanded brake torque value and the delivered brake torque value exceeds a predetermined first limit value, by operating the combustion engine brake by means of at least one additional or alternative second operating parameter which is selected in order to create a corrected brake torque value, a considerably improved accuracy, efficiency and/or reliability of the combustion engine brake can be obtained.
