Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for an engine system configured with a wide range active compressor and high pressure EGR. In one example, a compressor may include an active casing treatment with a slideable sleeve may be adjusted to direct air flow through either a choke slot and surge slot to control compressor efficiency, thereby maintaining EGR flow. In another example, the compressor may comprise a variable inlet device to regulate air flow through the compressor, thereby adjusting compressor efficiency and also maintaining EGR flow.
