The present invention relates to a control unit for a waste heat recovery system, wherein the waste heat recovery system is operated in a first mode of operation after a first condition is fulfilled and the system is operated in a second mode of operation after a second condition is fulfilled. The invention also relates to a method for starting an expansion device in a waste heat recovery system.

The present disclosure relates to an exhaust pipe apparatus. The exhaust pipe apparatus includes a first exhaust pipe provided to directly discharge exhaust gas discharged from a combustion engine to the outside, a second exhaust pipe connected in parallel with the first exhaust pipe and having a branch pipe connected to one side thereof such that the exhaust gas is directly discharged to the outside or discharged through the branch pipe, and a first damper installed in the second exhaust pipe to control a flow of the exhaust gas to be directly discharged to the outside or discharged through the branch pipe.

An exhaust system includes a housing comprising a first housing portion and a second housing portion separated by a common wall. The first housing portion has a first exhaust passage therethrough. The first exhaust passage has a first inlet receiving exhaust gasses from a turbocharger. The second housing portion has a second exhaust passage therethrough. The second exhaust passage has a second inlet receiving gasses from an exhaust bypass valve. The first passage and the second passage are non-intersecting within the housing.

A method and system for controlling operation of a two-stroke engine having a turbocharger includes the two-stroke engine comprising an electronically controlled exhaust valve. A throttle position sensor generates a throttle position signal corresponding to a position of a throttle plate of a throttle. A boost box is coupled to the two-stroke engine. A boost box pressure sensor is coupled to the boost box and generates a boost box pressure signal corresponding to a pressure within the boost box. A controller is coupled to the boost box pressure signal controlling a position of the electronically controlled exhaust valve in response to the boost box pressure signal and the throttle position signal.

An exhaust gas purification structure of an outboard motor includes an exhaust gas pipe that has an exhaust gas passage through which exhaust gas of an engine can flow; and a catalyst that is provided in the exhaust gas passage and purifies the exhaust gas by allowing the exhaust gas to pass through the inside thereof. The exhaust gas pipe includes a coolant flow passage allowing a coolant that cools the exhaust gas to flow therethrough. An exhaust gas bypass passage allowing the exhaust gas to flow without passing through the catalyst is formed between the catalyst and an inner surface of the exhaust gas pipe forming the exhaust gas passage.

A turbocharger and method of controlling the same includes a turbine housing comprising an inlet and an outlet, turbine wheel coupled to a shaft. The turbine housing comprising a first scroll and a second scroll for fluidically coupling the inlet and the turbine wheel. The first scroll has a first end adjacent the inlet and a second end adjacent the turbine wheel. The second scroll has a third end adjacent the inlet and a fourth end adjacent the turbine wheel. An exhaust gas diverter valve is coupled to the turbine housing restricting flow into the first scroll or the second scroll.

A method for operating an internal combustion engine includes combusting a fuel and air mixture within a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, thereby forming an exhaust gas, passing the exhaust gas out of the combustion chamber, performing a startup procedure, the startup procedure including passing the exhaust gas from the combustion chamber to a storage unit, capturing criteria pollutants of the exhaust gas with the storage unit, passing the exhaust gas from the storage unit to an aftertreatment system, heating the aftertreatment system to an activation temperature with the exhaust gas from the storage unit, and subsequent to heating the aftertreatment system to the activation temperature, performing a secondary procedure, the secondary procedure including passing the exhaust gas from the combustion chamber to the aftertreatment system thereby forming a treated exhaust gas, and passing the treated exhaust gas to the storage unit.

An aftertreatment system (100) connected downstream an internal combustion engine arrangement (102) for receiving combustion gas exhausted from the internal combustion engine arrangement (102) during operation thereof, the aftertreatment system (100) comprising a primary aftertreatment system (104) comprising a first catalytic reduction arrangement (106); a secondary reduction system (108) comprising a second catalytic reduction arrangement (110).

An exhaust emission control device has at least one exhaust gas line, at least one particulate filter and/or at least one exhaust gas catalytic converter connected to the exhaust gas line, and a heated catalyst assembly arranged upstream of the particulate filter and/or the exhaust gas catalytic converter. The heated catalyst assembly is designed to react fuel with exhaust gas, and has a housing provided with an inlet and an outlet connected to the exhaust gas line such that a partial flow of the exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust gas line can be fed through the inlet into the housing and can be discharged from the housing through the outlet back into the exhaust gas line downstream of the inlet. An exhaust emission control device of this type may be used in conjunction with an internal combustion engine, and may be used for emission control of exhaust gas.

An exhaust heat recovery apparatus includes: a housing having a first exhaust passage and a second exhaust passage, an exhaust inlet fitting, and an exhaust outlet fitting; a heat exchanger disposed in the first exhaust passage; and a switching valve having a slide gate which is movable in a longitudinal direction of the housing so as to allow a flow of exhaust gases to be switched between the first exhaust passage and the second exhaust passage, wherein the first exhaust passage is parallel to the second exhaust passage, and the slide gate is movable between the first exhaust passage and the second exhaust passage.
