Abstract

Moteur à combustion interne et procédé de surveillance d'un moteur à combustion interne L'invention concerne un moteur à combustion interne, comprenant un moteur à plusieurs cylindres et un dispositif de surveillance pour surveiller un fonctionnement d'un moteur à combustion interne, caractérisé par le fait que, pour chaque cylindre parmi la pluralité de cylindres, un capteur de pression de cylindre correspondant est installé sur chaque cylindre du moteur à combustion interne et est prévu pour mesurer une pression de cylindre du cylindre concerné, déterminer les données de pression du cylindre correspondant à la pression du cylindre et délivrer un signal de pression du cylindre correspondant qui indique les données de pression du cylindre. De plus, le dispositif de surveillance comporte une unité d'analyse qui est prévue pour recevoir le signal de pression du cylindre correspondant (135) et détecter pour chaque cylindre pris isolément une éventuelle anomalie de la pression du cylindre, en particulier une anomalie de la pression du cylindre survenant au cours d'une phase de compression du cylindre concerné pendant le fonctionnement du moteur à partir d'une évolution temporelle des données de pression du cylindre respectif, et attribuer l'anomalie au cylindre correspondant du moteur.
