A turbocharger according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rotating shaft, a compressor, a turbine, a compressor-side floating bearing and a turbine-side floating bearing that rotatably support the rotating shaft, and a bearing housing that houses the compressor-side floating bearing and the turbine-side floating bearing, the bearing housing being internally provided with a turbine-side oil feeding passage through which oil to be fed to the turbine-side floating bearing flows and a compressor-side oil feeding passage through which oil to be fed to the compressor-side floating bearing flows. A ratio of an oil feeding pressure for oil at an outlet of the compressor-side oil feeding passage to an oil feeding pressure for oil at an outlet of the turbine-side oil feeding passage is configured to be higher than 1.0 and lower than 1.5.

An exhaust gas control system includes an upstream purification device disposed in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine, a downstream purification device disposed in a portion of the exhaust passage downstream from the upstream purification device, a fuel addition valve disposed in a portion of the exhaust passage upstream from the upstream purification device, and a urea addition valve disposed in a portion of the exhaust passage between the upstream purification device and the downstream purification device, and a cooling device. The cooling device is configured such that refrigerant cools the fuel addition valve first and then cools the urea addition valve subsequent to the fuel addition valve.

A product may include a bearing housing in which a shaft may be supported by a bearing so that it may rotate. A compressor wheel may be disposed on the shaft. A compressor cover may be connected with the bearing housing, which may form a compressor body and may define a chamber within which the compressor wheel may rotate. A diffuser may extend radially outward from the chamber and may receive gas from the compressor wheel. An inlet may be provided to the compressor body, which may receive a supply of exhaust gas. An EGR distribution cavity may be defined within the compressor body and may extend around the shaft. An EGR inlet channel may extend into the bearing housing from the inlet to the EGR distribution cavity. An EGR passage may extend from the EGR distribution cavity to the diffuser.

A venting system for a turbocharger may include a bearing housing. The bearing housing may include an inner member. A housing wall may extend from the inner member and may include at least one vent disposed therethrough. A partition may be sealed to the housing wall and the inner member. The partition, the housing wall, and the inner member may collectively form a thermal dam.

The present invention relates to an exhaust treatment apparatus (1) for an internal combustion engine (5). The apparatus includes a catalyst chamber (15) containing a catalyst (35). One or more exhaust gas inlets (11A-D) are provided for supplying exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine (5) to the catalyst chamber (C). An exhaust gas outlet (21) for supplying exhaust gases from the catalyst chamber to a turbocharger (25). An injection nozzle (19) is provided for introducing a reductant (23) into the exhaust gases between the catalyst (15) and the turbocharger (25). The reductant (23) and the exhaust gases can undergo mixing as they pass through the turbocharger (25). The catalyst (15) can have a three-dimensional open structure to facilitate the flow of exhaust gases. The invention also relates to a method of treating exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine (5).
