An internal combustion engine includes an exhaust conduit having an exhaust port fluidically coupled to ambient fluid and having an internal cross-sectional area and an engine cylinder fluidically coupled to the exhaust conduit. A fluidic amplifier is disposed within the exhaust conduit and is fluidically coupled to the engine cylinder. The amplifier is further fluidically coupled to a source of primary fluid and is configured to introduce the primary fluid and at least a portion of fluid from the engine cylinder to the exhaust port.

A compressor housing may include a shroud portion which is axially spaced from an inlet portion and configured to at least partially surround the compressor wheel. The compressor housing may be further configured to include a recirculation cavity which is formed between an exterior surface of the shroud portion and an interior surface of the compressor housing. Furthermore, a recirculation slot may define an airflow pathway between the recirculation cavity and the compressor wheel. Additionally, the compressor housing may include an angled shroud support extending radially through the recirculation cavity from the exterior surface of the shroud portion to the interior surface of the compressor housing. The angled shroud support may be spaced an axial distance away from the recirculation slot to reduce turbulence in the airflow as the airflow moves from the recirculation cavity to the compressor wheel.

Methods and systems are provided for generating vacuum via an ejector arranged in a compressor recirculation flow path and an aspirator arranged in a throttle bypass path, where a suction port of the ejector is coupled with a canister purge valve having two outlet ports. In one example, the canister purge valve may include only a single flow restriction, the flow restriction arranged in a path coupling a fuel vapor purge system with the intake manifold when a solenoid of canister purge valve is open, such that a path coupling the fuel vapor purge system with the suction port of the ejector does not include any flow restrictions upstream of the suction port.

A turbocompressor boost purge ejector tee includes a first passage formed into a housing along a common axis from a first direction, the first passage including an outlet in communication with an inlet area of the turbocompressor. A second passage is formed into the housing along the common axis from a second direction and includes a boost air inlet in communication with a turbocompressor high pressure internal outlet area and fluidly coupled to the first passage. The first and second passages of the housing defining a first flow path from the internal outlet area to the inlet area. An inlet port is associated with the housing and intersects the first passage, the housing defining a second flow path from the inlet port to the outlet, and the second flow path intersecting the first flow path upstream of the outlet. A nozzle is positioned in the second passage.

A state observation device (30) uses an ADC (37) to digitize a detection signal from a gap sensor (21) at a low-speed sampling period and uses a separation unit (38) to separate the digitized detection signal into vane detection signals considered to be for the detection of a vane of a compressor impeller and non-vane detection signals considered not to be for the detection of a vane. Further, the determination unit (39) extracts a vane peak detection signal considered to be for a vane peak by comparing a vane detection signal with vane detection signals corresponding to other vanes and non-vane detection signals, and a shaft vibration and tip clearance are determined as states of the compressor impeller on the basis of the extracted vane peak detection signal. Thus, the state observation device (30) is capable of observing the state of a rotary machine without carrying out high-speed sampling.

A turbocharger engine includes an engine body and a turbocharger. The turbocharger includes a large turbo unit having a large turbine chamber, a large compressor chamber, and a large turbine shaft extending between the two chambers; and a small turbo unit having a small turbine chamber, a small compressor chamber, and a small turbine shaft extending between the two chambers. The large compressor chamber is disposed upstream of the small compressor chamber in an intake passage. A large turbo axis and a small turbo axis are disposed to extend generally in the same direction as an engine output axis. The large turbo unit is disposed such that the large turbo axis is non parallel to the engine output axis, and a large-compressor-chamber-side portion of the large turbo axis is closer to the engine output axis than a large-turbine-chamber-side portion thereof in a plan view in an axis direction of the cylinder.

A turbocharger engine includes a dual stage turbocharger in which a first turbo unit is disposed on the upstream side of a second turbo unit on an exhaust passage. The turbocharger is disposed in such a manner that a second turbine shaft of the second turbo unit is far from an engine output shaft than a first turbine shaft of the first turbo unit in a plan view in an axis direction of a cylinder. Further, a second turbine is rotated clockwise around an axis thereof in a side view when the turbocharger is viewed from the side of the turbine, and an intra-turbine passage is disposed on the side of an engine body than the second turbine shaft.

An internal combustion engine includes, in addition to an LPL-EGR system, two water vapor separation film modules for fresh air and for EGR gas. One module 34 is connected to a pressure reducing pump 40 through a suction passage 38. Other module 36 is connected to a pressure reducing pump 44 through a suction passage 42. A condenser 54 that condenses water vapor that flows through the suction passage 38 is provided in the suction passage 38. A water tank 56 that temporarily accumulates condensed water that is discharged from the condenser 54 is provided on a downstream side relative to the condenser 54. The water tank 56 is connected to injectors 60 that inject water from the water tank 56 into intake ports of respective cylinders or into respective cylinders.
