A system for an engine includes a heat shield system and a crankcase ventilation system. The heat shield system includes at least one heat shield panel. The crankcase ventilation system includes at least one breather, at least one outlet, and at least one conduit extending from the at least one breather to the at least one outlet. A portion of the at least one conduit is coupled to the at least one heat shield panel to directly transfer heat from the heat shield system to the at least one conduit.

The present disclosure provides a lubrication system comprising: a pump having an inlet in fluid communication with a lubricant source and an outlet; a cooler having an inlet in fluid communication with the outlet of the pump and an outlet; a lubrication filter having an inlet in fluid communication with the outlet of the cooler and an outlet; a first delivery path in fluid communication with the outlet of the lubrication filter, the first delivery path being configured to deliver cooled, filtered lubricant to a bearing system of an engine; and a second delivery path in fluid communication with the outlet of the pump, the second delivery path being configured to deliver uncooled, unfiltered lubricant to piston cooling nozzles of the engine.

An oiling device includes a passage system that circulates and feeds oil to an oiling object. A control unit includes a storage unit that has stored therein a first abnormality pressure set value that differs according to oiling temperature; the first abnormality pressure set value is set to a lower pressure as the oiling temperature is higher. The control unit executes an abnormal stop of the oiling object when an oiling pressure detected by an oiling pressure detecting unit is equal to or lower than the first abnormality pressure set value corresponding to an oiling temperature detected by an oiling temperature detecting unit.

A variety of methods and arrangements for reducing noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) in a skip fire engine control system are described. In one aspect, a firing sequence is used to operate the engine in a skip fire manner. A smoothing torque is determined that is applied to a powertrain by an energy storage/release device. The smoothing torque is arranged to at least partially cancel out variation in torque generated by the skip fire firing sequence. Various methods, powertrain controllers, arrangements and computer software related to the above operations are also described.

A cooler station comprising a liquid cooler, which has a first distributor box consisting of a hollow extruded section made of aluminium having outwardly open guide groove, and comprising a platform which can be pushed onto the liquid cooler and fixedly connected thereto by mechanical connecting elements which can be inserted into the guide grooves of the first distributor box. The cooler station comprises a set of platforms, wherein in each case one platform can be connected to the liquid cooler, and comprises the set of platforms which have the different hydraulic and/or electrical connections. The cooler station can be installed in a liquid cooler system which also comprises a blower, a liquid tank and a liquid filter. The liquid cooler, the blower, the liquid tank, and/or the liquid filter can each be selected from a set, such that a modular system is produced for providing from liquid cooler systems.

A system and method for a variable displacement internal combustion engine using different types of pneumatic cylinder springs on skipped working cycles to control engine and aftertreatment system temperatures are described. The system and method may be used to rapidly heat up the aftertreatment system(s) and/or an engine block of the engine following a cold start by using one or more different types of pneumatic cylinder springs during skipped firing opportunities. By rapidly heating the aftertreatment system(s) and/or engine block, noxious emissions such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, NO.sub.x and/or particulates, following cold starts are significantly reduced.

An internal combustion engine includes a crankshaft that is rotatably supported on the crankcase, a cylinder block that is joined to the crankcase and defines a plurality of cylinders in a V-type arrangement in which the cylinders are disposed above a virtual horizontal plane including a rotational axis of the crankshaft and intersect each other at a bank angle, a to-be-detected body that rotates integrally with the crankshaft, and a detection sensor that is mounted from an outside at a position, lower than the virtual horizontal plane, of a front face of the crankcase that receives air flow, is made to face a trajectory of the to-be-detected body, and generates a pulse signal in response to movement of the to-be-detected body. Thereby provided is a structure for disposing a detection sensor that can detect the angular velocity of a crankshaft with high precision in a so-called V-type internal combustion engine.
