Systems, apparatus, and methods are disclosed that include a divided exhaust engine with at least one pair of primary EGR cylinders and a plurality of pairs of non-primary EGR cylinders. The pair of primary EGR cylinders can be connected to an intake with an EGR system that lacks an EGR cooler. In another embodiment, the cylinder pairs include exhaust flow paths that join in the cylinder head to form a common exhaust outlet for each cylinder pair in the cylinder head that is connected directly to the EGR system or to the exhaust system without an exhaust manifold.

An engine system includes an internal combustion engine, a fuel cell system, a first turbocharger and a second turbocharger. The internal combustion engine has an intake passage, and a first exhaust passage fluidly connected to the first set of combustion chambers. The first turbocharger has a first compressor and a first turbine. The second turbocharger has a second compressor and a second turbine, the second compressor connected in series with the first compressor, and the second turbine being in fluid communication with the second exhaust passage. The first and second turbines are connected in parallel such that the first turbine only receives exhaust flow from the fuel cell system, and the second turbine only receives exhaust flow from the internal combustion engine.

A turbine shaft used for a turbocharger including a turbine and a compressor includes a turbine impeller, and a rotor shaft joined on one end side to the turbine impeller. The rotor shaft includes a fitting region configured to fit with a compressor impeller of the compressor by inserting the other end side of the rotor shaft into a through hole formed in the compressor impeller, a fastening region formed between the fitting region and the other end side of the rotor shaft, and configured to allow fastening by a fastening part, and a tapered part having a maximum outer diameter at a position closest to the turbine impeller in the fitting region and formed such that an outer diameter of the rotor shaft decreases from the position closest to the turbine impeller toward a tip side of the compressor impeller.

A turbocharger is used within a vehicle and includes an electronic actuator assembly. The electronic actuator assembly includes an actuator housing coupled to at least one of the turbine housing, the compressor housing, and the bearing housing, and an accelerometer coupled to the actuator housing. The accelerometer is adapted to detect vibration of at least one of the turbine housing, the compressor housing, the bearing housing, and the actuator housing thereby obtaining acceleration data of at least one of the turbine housing, the compressor housing, the bearing housing, and the actuator housing to determine rotational speed of the turbocharger shaft. Another embodiment includes a vibration detection assembly having an accelerometer coupled to a vehicle component and the vehicle component is one or more of a turbocharger, a valve assembly, an electronically driven compressor, and a turbocharger having an integral electric motor.

An intake system for use with an internal combustion engine having one or more cylinders. The intake system including a compressor assembly having an inlet and an outlet, and where the outlet is configured to be open to and in fluid communication with at least one of the one or more cylinders. The intake system also includes a passageway extending between and in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet and configured to direct a first flow of gasses and a controller in operable communication with the compressor assembly. Where the intake system is operable in a first mode in which the majority of gasses of the first flow of gasses flow through the passageway toward the outlet, and a second mode in which the majority of gasses of the first flow of gasses flow through the passageway toward the inlet.

A thrust bearing device is provided with: a rotational shaft; a collar member fitted to the rotational shaft and having a first thrust surface; and a thrust member having an insertion hole into which the rotational shaft is inserted and a second thrust surface which is disposed around the insertion hole and faces the first thrust surface of the collar member. The first thrust surface is configured to be inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to an axis of the rotational shaft so that a distance between the first thrust surface and the second thrust surface periodically increases and decreases with rotation of the rotational shaft.
