摘要： An internal combustion engine, particularly suitable for use in a work machine, is provided with an exhaust manifold, a turbocharger, and a bypass venturi assembly. The turbocharger includes a turbine and a compressor, with the turbine having a variable geometry inlet coupled with the exhaust manifold, and the compressor having an outlet. The bypass venturi assembly includes a housing having an outlet, a combustion air inlet and an exhaust gas inlet. The combustion air inlet is coupled with the compressor outlet. The exhaust gas inlet is coupled with the exhaust manifold. A center piece is positioned within the housing and is in communication with the combustion air inlet. The center piece defines a combustion air bypass section therein. A combustion air bypass valve is positioned in association with the combustion air bypass section. The exhaust gas valve is positioned in association with the exhaust gas inlet. The variable geometry inlet of the turbine allows the pressure ratio of the compressed combustion air to be varied, thereby improving the mixing efficiency of the exhaust gas with the combustion air.

摘要： Past exhaust emission control systems fail to utilize exhaust gas recirculation during all operating parameters of an engine. The present exhaust gas recirculation system reduces the emissions emitted from an engine during all operating parameters of the engine. The engine has a cylinder, a rotatable crankshaft and a turbocharger defining a compressor section compressing a flow of intake air to a first preestablished pressure and being driven by a flow of exhaust gas having a first preestablished pressure. The exhaust gas recirculation system is comprised of a portion of the flow of exhaust gas being recirculated back to the cylinder and forming a flow of exhaust gas recirculation. The flow of exhaust gas recirculation is cooled. The flow of exhaust gas recirculation is mixed with exhaust gas and compressed to a second preestablished pressure by the positive displacement pump. The second preestablished pressure of the flow of exhaust gas recirculation is at least as great as the first preestablished pressure of the intake air. And, a quantity of the flow of exhaust gas recirculation is controlled by a mixing valve. The mixing valve has an open position in which a portion of the flow of intake air is mixed with the flow of exhaust gas recirculation and a closed position in which the flow of intake air is blocked.
