Abstract:
An Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system for an engine system is provided. The EGR system includes an exhaust gas treatment module positioned upstream of an EGR cooler with respect to an exhaust gas flow direction. The exhaust gas treatment module is in selective fluid communication with an exhaust gas line of an engine. The EGR system also includes a bypass line in selective fluid communication with the exhaust gas line of the engine. The EGR system further includes a valve arrangement configured to route an exhaust gas flow through at least one of the exhaust gas treatment module and the bypass line.
Abstract:
A valve cover assembly for an engine is provided. The valve cover assembly includes a housing configured to receive a portion of a valve train of the engine. The housing includes a top closed end and a bottom open end. The valve cover also includes a front window provided on a top wall and a front facing wall of the housing. The valve cover further includes a front cover releasably coupled to the front window. The front cover is configured to provide selective access to components of the valve train present inside the housing. The valve cover includes a side window provided on the top wall and a side facing wall of the housing. The valve cover further includes a side cover releasably coupled to the side window. The side cover is configured to provide selective access to the components of the valve train present inside the housing.
Abstract:
A crankshaft having a front end, a rear end, and a central axis extending from the front end to the rear end is provided. The crankshaft includes a front crankpin, a rear crankpin, and one or more central crankpins. The front crankpin is located in proximity to the front end and the rear crankpin is located in proximity to the rear end. Further, the one or more central crankpins are located substantially equidistant from the front crank pin and the rear crankpin. The crankshaft further includes pairs of counterweights disposed on each side of the front crankpin, the rear crankpin and the one or more central crankpin. The counterweights are disposed such that counterweights in each pair of counterweights are angularly offset with respect to each other.
Abstract:
An engine system is disclosed. The engine system may have an engine block at least partially defining a cylinder bore, and a cylinder liner disposed within the cylinder bore. The engine system may also include a fuel injector configured to pass radially through the cylinder bore and threadingly engage the cylinder liner.

Abstract:
A multi-cylinder engine including a donor cylinder, a non-donor cylinder, at least one intake manifold, and at least one camshaft is provided. An intake valve of the donor cylinder controls a flow of air into the donor cylinder. The donor cylinder fluidly communicates exhaust gases to an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system. An intake valve of the non-donor cylinder controls a flow of air into the non-donor cylinder. The at least one camshaft controls an opening and closing of the intake valve of the non-donor cylinder such that the intake valve of the non-donor cylinder is maintained open for a first intake duration. The at least one camshaft controls an opening and closing of the intake valve of the donor cylinder such that the at least one intake valve of the donor cylinder is maintained open for a second intake duration which is greater than the first intake duration.
Abstract:
A piston for reduced production of particulate matter during combustion of a fuel directly injected after a top dead center position includes a piston body defining a piston body diameter of about 263 mm, and a combustion face upon the first axial body end. The combustion face includes a combustion bowl, and an annular piston rim extending circumferentially around the combustion bowl. Inner and outer rim surfaces together comprise a horizontal width of the rim in a ratio of about 1:1 to about 2:1. The inner rim surface includes a chamfer sloping from about 9° to about 11°, such that a profile of the rim is relieved to limit deflection by the piston of the directly injected fuel toward a cylinder wall.
Abstract:
A piston for a compression ignition internal combustion engine includes a piston body having an outer cylindrical surface defined along a longitudinal piston axis. A piston includes a combustion face defining a combustion bowl including an inner bowl surface, an inner rim portion and an outer rim portion. The combustion face includes a cross-sectional profile of rotation about the longitudinal piston axis. A first profile of the profile of rotation includes a convex curve segment, a linear segment outboard the convex curve segments and a first set of concave curve segments outboard the linear segment. The first set of concave curve segments defines a first radius of curvature. A second profile is provided outboard the first profile and includes a second set of concave curve segments. The second set of concave curve segments defines a second radius of curvature greater than the first radius of curvature.
Abstract:
An engine system is disclosed for use with an engine having at least a first cylinder and a second cylinder. The engine system may have a first exhaust manifold fluidly connected to the first cylinder, a second exhaust manifold fluidly connected to the second cylinder, and a recirculation passage extending from the first exhaust manifold to at least one of the first and second cylinders. The engine system may also have a restricted orifice connecting the first exhaust manifold to the second exhaust manifold, a pressure relief passage extending from the first exhaust manifold, and a valve disposed within the pressure relief passage and movable to selectively reduce a back pressure of the first exhaust manifold.
Abstract:
An engine system is disclosed. The engine system may have a first bank of cylinders, a second bank of cylinders, a first intake manifold, and a second intake manifold. The engine system may also have a first exhaust manifold connecting the first bank of cylinders to the first and second intake manifolds, a second exhaust manifold connecting the second bank of cylinders to the atmosphere, a plurality of injectors, and a controller. The controller may be configured to inhibit the plurality of injectors associated with a first cylinder subset of the first and second banks of cylinders from firing for a first period of time spanning multiple engine cycles. The controller may also be configured to selectively inhibit the plurality of injectors associated with a second cylinder subset of the first and second banks of cylinders from firing for a second period of time following the first period of time.
