The invention relates to a valve device comprising a valve housing (2) with a first and a second flow channel (3a, 3b), and a first and second damper shaft (8a, 8b), which are rotatable relative to the valve housing (2). A first damper (7a) is arranged in the first flow channel (3a) fixed to the first damper shaft (8a) and a second damper (7b) is arranged in the second flow channel (3b) fixed to the second damper shaft (8b). A rotatable regulating member (13) is arranged to control the rotational position of the damper shafts (8a, 8b) via two motion transfer members (20a, 20b), the respective motion transfer member (20a, 20b) being in engagement with a guiding (21) of the regulating member (13) so that the rotational position of the motion transfer member and thereby the rotational position of the associated damper shaft (8a, 8b) is controlled by the rotational position of the regulating member via this guiding (21).
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling the ratio of ambient air to recirculated gases in an internal combustion engine, wherein an gas injector includes a intake air conduit defining a ambient air flow path, an actuator connected to the intake air conduit, a recirculated gas conduit operatively coupled and disposed within the intake air conduit defining a recirculated gas flow path and a valve apparatus operatively coupled to the intake air conduit and recirculated gas conduit. The valve apparatus includes; a shaft, a throttle valve coupled to the shaft and in fluid communication with the ambient air flow and a recirculated gas valve coupled to the shaft in fluid communication with the recirculated gas flow. The shaft rotates one of the throttle valve and the recirculated gas valve independent of the rotation of the other one of throttle valve and said recirculated gas valve.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
An integrated intake manifold assembly including a first poppet valve assembly disposed at the air inlet to the manifold to regulate air flow into the manifold; a second poppet valve assembly disposed on the manifold to regulate exhaust gas flow into the air intake system; and a bi-directional camshaft with cams for operating simultaneously the manifold vacuum regulating (MVR) valve and the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve. The valve bodies are integrally formed in the wall of the intake manifold. The camshaft is driven by a DC motor and gear train. The cams are arranged on the shaft to provide optimum synchronized opening and closing of the related valves. When used on a diesel engine, the manifold assembly may further include a swirl valve plate disposed between the manifold and the engine head and having a plurality of ganged swirl valves actuated by levers, connected to the camshaft internally of the manifold and swirl plate, for coordinated motion with the MVR and EGR valves. Preferably, the swirl valve plate is also ported as a distribution rail to receive exhaust gas from the single EGR valve and distribute it to the individual cylinders. The valve poppets of the MVR and EGR valves include forked yokes engaging the camshaft to minimize side loading of the valve stems by the cams.

A butterfly plate is pivotally connected to the housing. The butterfly plate has at least a first position and a second position, wherein the first position defines a first fluid path between the exhaust inlet and the EGR outlet and defines a second fluid path between the bleed air inlet and the exhaust outlet, and wherein the second position defines a third fluid path between the exhaust inlet and the exhaust outlet and defines a fourth fluid path between the bleed air inlet and the EGR outlet.

Abstract:
A sonic nozzle is formed in a recirculation passage interconnecting the exhaust line to the induction passage of an internal combustion engine and a valve member is arranged to vary the throat area of the nozzle, while the induction passage has a similar combination of sonic nozzle and a valve member. The control apparatus has a valve actuating mechanism arranged to link the respective valve members in the sonic nozzles with a common element which is necessarily moved when a change in the engine speed is intended, so that the throat area in the recirculation passage is varied always in direct relation to the throat area in the induction passage.
Abstract:
In a carburetor, a branch passage is connected to the fuel-air mixture passage for charging exhaust gases back into the fuel-air mixture. A control valve is positioned in the branch passage for regulating flow of the exhaust gases and a first spring biases the control valve into the closed position. A throttle valve in the fuel-air mixture passage is operatively coupled to the control valve by a linkage arrangement so that the two valves can be operated together. The linkage arrangement includes a second spring which permits movement of the throttle valve without corresponding movement of the control valve. Further, the linking arrangement provides a certain amount of play between the movement of the throttle valve and the control valve so that the operation of the control valve can be delayed relative to the opening movement of the throttle valve.
