Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for controlling an intake-exhaust gases arrangement for an automotive vehicle comprising an internal combustion engine (2) having an intake line (7) and an exhaust line (8) • the method comprising the following steps: • a) during an engine braking phase of the internal combustion engine (2), taking gases from the exhaust line (8), • b) storing the gases taken at step a) in a tank (20) of the intake-exhaust gases arrangement, • c) during a power phase of the internal combustion engine (2), delivering the gases stored in the tank (20) to the internal combustion engine (2), wherein said method further comprises the following steps: • d) prior to step b), cooling the gases taken at step a), • e) prior to step b), compressing the gases cooled at step d).
Abstract:
A turbocharged engine arrangement having an exhaust gases recirculation system (38) comprising at least: • a higher and a lower pressure exhaust-side conduit (EXHP, EXLP) • a principal intake-side conduit (INT, INTLP, INTHP) connected to the intake line; and comprising a single rotary valve (39) configured to define at least • - a higher pressure exhaust gas recirculation mode; • - a lower pressure exhaust gas recirculation mode; • -a turbine by-pass mode. Also provided is a rotary valve comprising: • at least four ports openings (58a,...) • a rotary valve body (60) having a separation wall (64) extending to divide the internal volume in two separate flow chambers (52A, 52B); wherein first and second adjacent port openings may be set in communication through one of the flow chambers, while a third port is obstructed by an obstructing sector.
