An engine cooling system may include a main intake line for supplying external air to an intake manifold attached to an engine including a cylinder block and a cylinder head, a supplementary intake line branched from one side of the main intake line and joined to the other side of the main intake line, an intake route control valve in the main intake line, a main exhaust line for flowing exhaust gas from an exhaust manifold, an exhaust route control valve in the main exhaust line, a turbocharger, an intercooler mounted to the supplementary intake line on a downstream side of the turbocharger, an EGR cooler branched from the exhaust manifold for recirculating the exhaust gas and provided in an EGR line connected to the main intake line; and a cooling line for flowing a coolant supplied from a water pump to cool the EGR cooler, the exhaust route control valve and/or the turbine housing of the turbocharger.

A turbocharger having a turbine housing with an integral EGR conduit is disclosed. The turbine includes a turbine wheel attached to a turbine shaft and rotatably disposed in a turbine housing having a turbine volute conduit having a turbine inlet passage fluidly coupled to a turbine volute conduit having a turbine volute passage and a turbine volute inlet and an EGR conduit having an EGR passage, the EGR passage having an EGR conduit inlet, the EGR conduit inlet disposed on the turbine inlet conduit. The turbine inlet conduit is configured for fluid communication of a first portion of an exhaust gas flow received from an engine to the turbine wheel. The EGR conduit is configured for fluid communication of a second portion of the exhaust gas flow to an engine intake manifold.

A compound engine system including a Wankel engine having a recess defined in the peripheral wall of the rotor in each of the three rotating chambers, the recess having a volume of more than 5% of the displacement volume of the chambers. The expansion in the turbine section compensates for the relatively low expansion ratio of the rotary engine.

The invention relates to a fluid assembly (1) comprising: a first pipe (11), a second pipe (12) forming a bypass of a portion of the first pipe (11), comprising a compressor (15), and a switching system (10) for switching the fluid into either the second pipe (12) or said portion, having a first configuration allowing the fluid to circulate in the portion, and comprising a supporting member exerting a torque configured to keep the system (10) in the first configuration, and at least one area blocking the inlet or the outlet of the second pipe when the system (10) is in the first configuration, the system (10) being able to enter a second configuration allowing the fluid to circulate in the second pipe (12), the supporting member being such that the torque that it exerts on the system (10) drops when the system (10) passes from the first configuration to the second configuration.

Methods and systems for reducing the temperature of the charge air provided to a turbocharged internal combustion engine. A supercharger is installed on the air intake path, upstream the turbocharger's compressor. A secondary charge air cooler is installed between the supercharger and the main compressor. This over-compresses the intake air, so that an expansion turbine installed downstream the turbocharger's compressor can cool the charge air and still provide sufficient charge air pressure into the intake manifold.

Described herein is an air feed system for an internal combustion engine. The air feed system includes a charge air receiver for receiving charge air and a starting air system. The starting air system is designed to feed starting air, in particular from a starting air feed, to the cylinder of the internal combustion engine intermittently during a starting process of the internal combustion engine. The charge air receiver is connected to the starting air system via a charge air shut-off valve in order to feed charge air from the charge air receiver to the starting air system during partial-load operation of the internal combustion engine, such that the starting air system feeds charge air to the cylinder intermittently during partial-load operation of the internal combustion engine. Also described herein are an internal combustion engine and a method for operating an internal combustion engine.

Methods and systems are provided for controlling airflow of an accumulator of a motorized vehicle. In one example, a method includes storing pressurized gases within the accumulator by flowing intake air from a compressor of an engine of the vehicle to a pressure booster arranged upstream of the accumulator. Pressurized gases stored within the accumulator may be used to drive one or more pneumatic devices.

A two-cycle motor (10) has cylinder assembly (20) housing piston assembly (30) therein that moves reciprocally between two extreme positions controlled by a crankshaft. Cylinder assembly (20) includes combustion chamber (25) and an air compression chamber (45) in an enlarged annular portion (40). Portion (40) receives flange (31) integrally and radially outwardly extending from piston assembly (30) to define to air compression sub-chambers (47;47a). One-way inlet valve assemblies (41, 42) alternate to allow air in while outlet one-way valve assemblies (41a-42a) supply the compressed air to tank assembly (80) for release of the compressed air through intake one way valve assembly (29) to combustion chamber (25).
