摘要:
A method of controlling engine internal exhaust gas recirculation may include estimating a flow restriction through a diesel particulate filter in an exhaust system of an engine assembly and adjusting a backpressure control valve in the exhaust system downstream of the diesel particulate filter based on the flow restriction. A controlled amount of internal exhaust gas recirculation may be provided to the engine assembly based on adjusting the backpressure control valve.

An engine assembly includes a camshaft having an exhaust cam lobe defining an exhaust lift region and an exhaust base circle region and an EGR cam lobe defining an EGR lift region and an EGR base circle region. The EGR lift region is rotationally offset from the exhaust lift region and the EGR base circle region is rotationally aligned with the exhaust lift region. An exhaust valve lift mechanism is engaged with an exhaust valve, the exhaust cam lobe and the EGR cam lobe and is operable in first and second modes. The exhaust valve remains closed when the EGR lift region engages the exhaust valve lift mechanism during the second mode and the exhaust valve is opened when the EGR lift region engages the exhaust valve lift mechanism during the first mode to provide exhaust gas flow into the combustion chamber during an intake stroke of the combustion chamber.

An engine assembly may include an engine structure, an exhaust system, an intake system, a valvetrain assembly and an exhaust gas recirculation system. The engine structure may define a combustion chamber and intake and exhaust ports in communication with the combustion chamber. The exhaust system may include an exhaust conduit in communication with exhaust port. The intake system may include a turbocharger in communication with the exhaust conduit and the intake port. The valvetrain assembly may provide internal recirculation of exhaust gas within the combustion chamber. The exhaust gas recirculation system may include an EGR line extending from the exhaust conduit at a location between the turbocharger and an outlet of the exhaust conduit to the intake system and may provide communication between the intake and exhaust systems.

A snow removal assembly includes a truck that has a cab and a box that is positioned behind the cab. A chute is coupled to the cab of the truck to receive snow on a road upon which the truck is driving. An auger is rotatably disposed in the chute to urge the snow outwardly through the chute when the auger is turned on. A snow pipe is coupled to the chute for delivering the snow into the box and a pump is integrated into the snow pipe for urging the snow through the snow pipe. A heating unit is integrated into the box and the heating unit is in thermal communication with the box. Furthermore, the heating unit heats the box when the heating unit is turned on for melting the snow into water thereby facilitating the water to drain outwardly through the drain in the box for disposal.

A split-cycle internal combustion engine is disclosed. The engine includes a cylinder block, and a plurality of cooperating power pistons and cylinders mounted in the cylinder block. The power pistons are configured to be energized by forces of combustion. The engine also includes a compressor piston and cylinder configured to compress a volume of air and transfer the compressed air to the power pistons, and an expander piston and cylinder configured to receive exhaust gases from the power pistons. The engine additionally includes a first crankshaft operatively connected to and rotatably driven by the power pistons, a second crankshaft operatively connected to the compressor piston and configured to rotatably drive the compressor piston, and a third crankshaft operatively connected to the expander piston and configured to be rotatably driven by the expander piston. The first, second, and third crankshafts are operatively connected to each other for coordinated rotation.

The building roof structure is arranged so that attachment of that structure to building support elements does not require penetration through such roof structure into the interior of the building. The panels overlap and the attachment of the panels to the building support elements occurs in the overlap areas so that elements are interposed between the attachments and the building interior.
摘要:
An engine assembly includes an engine structure and an exhaust gas recirculation control valve supported on the engine structure. The engine structure defines a cylinder bore and intake and exhaust ports in communication with the cylinder bore. An internal exhaust gas recirculation passage is defined in the engine structure and extends from the exhaust port to the intake port and may overlie a central region of the cylinder bore. The exhaust gas recirculation control valve is at least partially located within the internal exhaust gas recirculation passage and is displaceable between an open position and a closed position. The open position allows exhaust gas flow from the exhaust port to the intake port through the internal exhaust gas recirculation passage and the closed position obstructs exhaust gas flow from the exhaust port to the intake port through the internal exhaust gas recirculation passage.
