Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for purging a fuel vapor canister. In one example, a method may include during boosted engine operating conditions, utilizing regulated compressed air from an engine intake to purge fuel vapors stored in the fuel vapor canister. Further, during non-boosted condition, regulated air from the intake may be utilized to purge the fuel vapor canister. The purged fuel vapors and intake air may be delivered to upstream of a compressor when operating with boost, or to an intake manifold when operating without boost.

Abstract:
An ejector, or arrangement having the ejector, has a compact structure requiring little installation space, permitting a sufficient pumping action, and, in case of an error, the error can be unambiguously detected and diagnosed as the source of the problem, which ejector for insertion into a receptacle, has a base element with a throat that fluid-connects a first opening and a second opening to each other, whereby the throat has a narrowest part that is fluid-connected to an associated third opening, and whereby the throat widens, at least in sections, towards the first and second openings, wherein, as a functional component, the ejector can be inserted into and/or positioned in a mating receptacle in the correct orientation so as to fulfill its function as a jet pump in an arrangement.

Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for shared handling of fuel vapor purge and crankcase ventilation in an engine system. Fuel vapors from each of a canister and a crankcase are drawn into an intake manifold in a common direction during both boosted and non-boosted engine operating conditions using vacuum drawn at various aspirators. Compressor bypass flow through a first aspirator is used to enhance vacuum produced during boosted conditions while throttle bypass flow through a second aspirator is used to enhance vacuum produced during non-boosted conditions.
Abstract:
A supercharger exhaust bypass system, comprises a supercharger comprising an inlet and outlet, a bypass valve connected to the supercharger outlet, a first intercooler connected to receive compressed air from the outlet of the supercharger and connected to cool and expel air, a second intercooler comprising an envelope inlet, an exhaust inlet, an exhaust outlet, an exhaust passage between the exhaust inlet and the exhaust outlet, and an envelope connected to the envelope inlet and surrounding the exhaust passage, an engine system connected to receive expelled air from the first intercooler and further connected to output exhaust to the exhaust inlet of the second intercooler, and a bypass conduit connected to the bypass valve and connected to the envelope inlet.
Abstract:
A reducing agent supplying device includes a reaction container, an ozone generator, an air pump, an ozone-containing air pipe, a compressed air pipe, a switching device, and a switching controller. The reaction container defines a reaction chamber therein in which a reducing agent is reformed. The ozone generator generates ozone from oxygen in air. The air pump supplies air into the ozone generator. An ozone-containing air flows through the ozone-containing air pipe toward the reaction chamber. A portion of a compressed air flows through the compressed air pipe toward the reaction chamber. The switching device switches between an air pump mode, in which the ozone-containing air is supplied into the reaction chamber, and a supercharging mode, in which the compressed air is supplied into the reaction chamber. The switching controller controls the switching device based on a catalyst temperature, which is a temperature of the reducing catalyst, and an exhaust pressure, which is a pressure in the exhaust passage.
Abstract:
Various methods and systems are provided for cooling exhaust system components. In one example, a method comprises directing compressed air onto an exterior of an engine exhaust passage valve.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for regulating stable operation of an exhaust-gas turbocharger of an internal combustion engine having a fresh-gas supply device, a switchover valve, a control device, a compressor for generating compressed air and an air-processing unit with a discharge valve. The compressor is operated in a suction intake mode in which the compressor is connected to an air inlet, and based on monitored operating parameters, the switchover valve switches the compressor from the suction intake mode into a pressure-charged in which the compressor is connected to an exhaust-gas turbocharger compressor. Based on monitored operating parameters when in the pressure-charged mode, the switchover valve switches the compressor from the pressure-charged mode into the suction intake mode.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine includes a plurality of combustion cylinders, at least one turbocharger, an exhaust gas line and an exhaust gas recirculation system. A compressor bypass may fluidly connect a compressed air line to the exhaust gas line. If the internal combustion engine has dual cylinder banks, an exhaust gas balance tube may extend between exhaust gas lines of the cylinder banks. A wastegate may fluidly connect the exhaust gas balance tube to an exhaust gas outlet. A compressor bypass may fluidly connect the compressed air line to the exhaust gas balance tube.
