    摘要: A flow-control assembly may include a fluid conduit and a flow-control valve in the fluid conduit. The flow-control assembly may further include a fluid expansion conduit with an inlet defined at least in part by the fluid conduit and configured to selectively receive flow of a fluid from the fluid conduit. The fluid expansion conduit may further include an outlet in fluid communication with the fluid conduit downstream of the flow-control valve. A rotating fluid expander in the fluid expansion conduit may be configured to expand the fluid and thereby rotate and in some embodiments generate electricity. In a first position flow is substantially blocked. In a second position flow is allowed through the fluid expansion conduit. In a third position flow through the fluid conduit is allowed without necessarily passing through the fluid expansion conduit. Related systems and methods are also provided.

    摘要: An engine system includes an internal combustion engine and an air intake assembly configured to supply a flow of air to one or more cylinders of the internal combustion engine. The air intake assembly includes an air supply conduit with a turbine therein, a bypass conduit configured to bypass the turbine, and a fresh air valve configured to selectively direct the flow of air to one or both of the air supply conduit and the bypass conduit. An exhaust conduit is configured to receive a flow of exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine and direct the flow of exhaust gas away from the internal combustion engine. A compressor in the exhaust conduit, which may be coupled to the turbine by a shaft, is configured to rotate and thereby reduce backpressure in the exhaust conduit during idle and partial throttle conditions.
