The piston arrangement comprises a piston configured for reciprocal movement inside a cylinder having a cylinder wall, the piston having a piston head configured to face a first compartment with pressurized gas, a sealing arrangement comprising at least one sealing ring configured to be arranged to seal the piston to the cylinder wall and separating the first compartment from a second compartment, and a water channel extending from an interior of the piston to the sealing ring to provide water for lubricating the sealing ring. The piston head comprises a pumping element configured to be arranged to pressurize the water in the water channel by pressurised gas in the first compartment.

An exhaust treatment system includes an exhaust line, a series of emission treatment units, and an electronic control unit. The series of emission treatment units includes a catalytic unit, a particulate filter unit, an oxidation catalytic unit, a hydrogen injection unit, and a Lean NOx Trap (LNT) for trapping select emissions. A method of operating an exhaust treatment system includes introducing a fuel to a combustion engine of a motor vehicle, directing emissions from the combustion engine to an exhaust line, and passing the emissions in the exhaust line through a series of emission treatment units on the exhaust line. The method further includes injecting hydrogen into the exhaust line via a hydrogen injection unit, where an amount of hydrogen gas injected from a hydrogen inlet line reduces the trapped emissions in the LNT to an inert gas.

Provided is a device that uses a high-temperature exhaust gas released from an internal combustion engine to produce a fuel. The present invention relates to the fuel production device including the internal combustion engine, an electrolysis device connected to the internal combustion engine, and a hydrogenation reactor connected to the electrolysis device, wherein the electrolysis device is a device for decomposing high-temperature water vapor contained in the exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine into hydrogen and oxygen, and the hydrogenation reactor is a device for converting the hydrogen resulting from the decomposition to the fuel.

A method and conditioning system for conditioning exhaust gas are provided. The conditioning system includes one or more heat removal systems for removing heat from an exhaust gas. The conditioning system also includes a condensate removal system fluidly coupled with, and positioned downstream of, the one or more heat removal systems. The condensate removal system is operable to remove moisture from the exhaust gas. In some variants, the conditioning system further includes one or more fluid chambers fluidly coupled with, and positioned downstream of, the condensate removal system. Each fluid chamber defines an interior in which a capture medium is contained. The cooled, moisture-depleted exhaust is selectively distributed to the fluid chambers to allow for harvesting or capture of a set of target species from the exhaust gas.

An apparatus and method for recovering heat and water vapor from a waste gas stream. A waste gas passageway directs waste gas over a plurality of membrane tubes extending across the waste gas passageway. Each of the membrane tubes includes an internal passage separated from the waste gas passageway by a porous membrane. A water supply inlet manifold is connected to each of the plurality of membrane tubes, and configured to introduce water into the internal passages of the membrane tubes. A vacuum source is connected to the water side of the apparatus, and configured to adjust a pressure within the internal passages of the membrane tubes. The water within the internal passages receives heat and water vapor from the waste gas stream across the porous membrane.

A bottoming cycle power system includes a turbo-expander operable to rotate a turbo-crankshaft as a flow of exhaust gas from a combustion process passes through the turbo-expander. A turbo-compressor is operable to compress the flow of exhaust gas after the exhaust gas passes through the turbo-expander. An open cycle absorption chiller system includes an absorber section operable to receive the flow of exhaust gas from the turbo-expander and to mix the flow of exhaust gas with a first refrigerant solution within the absorber section. The first refrigerant solution is operable to absorb water from the exhaust gas as the exhaust gas passes through the first refrigerant solution. The absorber section is operable to route the flow of exhaust gas to the turbo-compressor after the flow of exhaust gas has passed through the first refrigerant solution.

An engine tail gas dust removing system has a tail gas dust removing system inlet, a tail gas dust removing system outlet, and a tail gas electric field device. The engine tail gas dust removing system has a good dust removal effect, and can efficiently remove particulate matters in engine tail gas.

An engine emission treatment system incudes at least one out of an air inlet dust removal system (101), a tail gas dust removal system (102), and a tail gas ozone purification system. The tail gas dust removal system (102) has an inlet of the tail gas dust removal system, an outlet of the tail gas dust removal system, and a tail gas electric field device (1021). The tail gas ozone purification system has a reaction field (202), used for mixing an ozone stream and a tail gas stream for reaction. The engine emission treatment system may effectively treat engine emissions, so as to make the engine emissions cleaner.

An inerting and venting system for an aircraft. The inerting and venting system includes a tank containing fluid to be inerted, a mixer including an operating flow path and a mixing flow path, a vent line fluidly connecting ambient atmosphere to the operating flow path of the mixer, and an inert gas line fluidly connecting an inert gas source to the mixing flow path of the mixer. The mixing flow path and the operating flow path are arranged in a coflowing configuration such that ambient air communicated by the operating flow path mixes in a coflowing manner with inert gas communicated by the mixing flow path and the coflowed mixture is directed into the tank. The inerting and venting system may include a first valve for controlling flow of vent air from ambient atmosphere to the tank, and a second valve for controlling flow of inert gas from an inert gas source to the tank. A valve adjuster is configured to passively adjust the first and second valves in response to a pressure differential between the ambient atmosphere and the tank, and to control ratio of flow in response to oxygen concentration in the inert gas or the tank ullage gas.
