Abstract:
An engine system includes an internal combustion engine having an intake duct and an exhaust duct; a flow control module fluidly coupled to the intake duct; a compressor in fluid communication with the intake duct via the flow control module; a heat exchanger having an exhaust flow path in fluid communication with the exhaust duct, and having an oxidizer flow path, an outlet of the compressor being in selective fluid communication with the intake duct via the flow control module and the oxidizer flow path of the heat exchanger; a first temperature sensor in fluid communication with the intake duct; and a controller operatively coupled to the flow control module and the first temperature sensor, the controller being configured to actuate the flow control module between a first configuration and a second configuration based at least in part on a signal from the first temperature sensor.
