Abstract:
A turbocharged engine system with electric compressor arranged to inject a compressed fluid into the exhaust subsystem upstream of the turbine of the turbocharger such that, in use, the compressed fluid injected by the electric compressor into the exhaust subsystem maintains the speed of or accelerates the turbine, thereby maintaining or increasing the boost pressure supplied to the turbocharged internal combustion engine. A method of controlling the boost pressure supplied to an internal combustion engine by a turbocharger, said method comprising the steps of: producing a stream of compressed fluid; injecting the stream of compressed fluid into an exhaust stream of the internal combustion engine to produce a pressure-boosted exhaust stream; and controlling the speed of a turbine of the turbocharger using the pressure-boosted exhaust stream to control the boost pressure supplied to the internal combustion engine.

Abstract:
An internal combustion engine includes a cylinder block that defines a cylinder and a cylinder head mounted to the cylinder block. A reciprocating piston is arranged inside the cylinder for compressing an air and fuel mixture at a geometric compression ratio of at least 10:1. A crankshaft is arranged in the cylinder block and rotated by the piston. An intake valve is operatively connected to the cylinder head and controls delivery of air to the cylinder for combustion therein. A mechanism provides a constant peak lift of the intake valve over an angle of rotation of the crankshaft that is at least 5 degrees, i.e., an extended dwell at peak lift. A multi-stage boosting system having first and second gas compressors is selectively controlled to pressurize air that is received from the ambient for delivery to the cylinder. A vehicle having such an engine is also disclosed.
