Various systems are provided for supporting an exhaust gas treatment system vertically above an engine in an engine system. In one example, an engine system includes an engine; a support structure including a base and a plurality of mounting legs, a first end of each mounting leg of the plurality of mounting legs coupled to the base and an opposite, second end of each mounting leg of at least a portion of the plurality of mounting legs coupled to the engine, where at least three mounting legs of the plurality of mounting legs and the base form two triangles within a same plane of the support structure; and an exhaust gas treatment system positioned vertically above and mounted on the engine via the support structure.

Provided is an engine including: a cylinder; a piston that reciprocates inside the cylinder; an intake valve through which intake air is supplied into the cylinder; an exhaust valve through which air inside the cylinder is expelled; and a compressed air taking-out valve through which air compressed inside the cylinder is taken out. The compressed air taking-out valve is open during a compression stroke in which the piston compresses the air inside the cylinder.

A method for producing syngas from preferably vegetal biomass is described. The method provides for the use of a fixed bed gasifier, equipped with two reactors. The biomass is fed to both reactors together with a primary flow rate of air. Advantageously, the method according to the present invention is different from the known art since a secondary flow rate of air is withdrawn from the first reactor at the area where the biomass dries, and fed to the second reactor at the area where the biomass dries, and vice versa, alternately during time. Alternatively, an oscillating air flow is created in each reactor. The achievable result is a greater syngas production, but not exclusively. The syngas quality is improved too, since the biomass has a longer time for completing the gasification reactions.

A system for power integration is provided. The system for power integration includes a planetary gear system with a ring gear, a sun gear and a carrier. A supercharger compressor is mechanically coupled to the ring gear, a secondary turbine is mechanically coupled to the sun gear, and a hybrid energy device is mechanically coupled to the carrier. The system is configured for an internal combustion engine (ICE) to be mechanically coupled to the hybrid energy device through the carrier and a first clutch, and a brake may be mechanically coupled to the supercharger compressor via a band brake or second clutch. The system integrates power between the supercharger compressor, secondary turbine, hybrid energy device and ICE such that enhanced fuel economy is provided.
