An internal combustion engine having two “banks” of cylinders, the “banks” being defined by cross-connection to different turbochargers. The exhaust from one bank of cylinders goes to a first turbocharger, and the exhaust from the other bank of cylinders goes to a second turbocharger. However, the compressed air delivered from the turbochargers is cross-connected to the cylinder banks. This allows a cylinder bank to be boosted with a turbocharger whose compressed air output does not necessarily match the exhaust energy of that cylinder bank.

Provided is an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine comprising: a first exhaust conduit leading from a first exhaust bank of the engine to a first turbocharger turbine inlet arranged downstream of the first exhaust bank in the direction of travel of a first exhaust stream; a second exhaust conduit leading from a second exhaust bank of the engine to a second turbocharger turbine inlet arranged downstream of the second exhaust bank in the direction of travel of a second exhaust stream; an SCR catalyst arranged downstream of the first turbocharger turbine inlet and/or second turbocharger turbine inlet; and a reductant supply system comprising a distributor pipe and a reductant injector. The distributor pipe is configured to fluidly connect the first exhaust conduit to the second exhaust conduit upstream of the first turbocharger turbine inlet and second turbocharger turbine inlet, and the reductant injector is configured to supply a reductant to the distributor pipe.

An internal combustion engine includes an inline turbocharger and at least a first inline turbocharger that has a first turbine air valve, and a first inline compressor that has a first compressor air valve. A control valve is responsive to commands from an electronic controller to move the air valves between open and closed positions. The electronic controller monitors operating parameters of the engine to diagnose a fault. determine whether an air valve is stuck open or closed, and adjust a priority schedule for activating or deactivating the first inline turbocharger based on the type of fault.

A boosted engine is provided, which includes a first turbocharger having a first compressor and a first turbine, a second turbocharger having a second compressor and a second turbine, and first and second exhaust emission control devices. The engine has a first exhaust port which opens at a first timing, and a second exhaust port which is in parallel with the first exhaust port and opens at a second timing later than the first timing. The exhaust passage has a first exhaust passage connected to the first exhaust port and a second exhaust passage connected to the second exhaust port. The first turbine and the first exhaust emission control device are disposed in the first exhaust passage in this order from upstream to downstream, and the second exhaust emission control device and the second turbine are disposed in the second exhaust passage in this order from upstream to downstream.

A fluid supply system for a machine such as an internal combustion engine includes a shutoff valve having an electrical actuator that includes a solenoid subassembly, and a stabilizer for the electrical valve actuator. The stabilizer includes a fitting structured to couple the shutoff valve to adjacent hardware in the fluid supply system, and a strongarm extending between the fitting and the solenoid assembly and clamped to the solenoid subassembly. A vibration-damping reinforced grommet may be clamped between the solenoid subassembly and the clamp.

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.

In certain implementations, a ship propulsion system includes: at least one internal combustion engine with: a combustion chamber for burning a fuel; an intake tract for supplying fresh air to the combustion chamber; and a turbocharger with a compressor in the in-take tract; an electrolysis device for producing hydrogen gas for the internal combustion engine and for producing oxygen gas; an alcohol tank for supplying alcohols to the internal combustion engine; and a water tank, wherein the water tank and the alcohol tank are connected to the combustion chamber or a pressure side of the compressor for the supply of water and alcohol into the intake tract, and wherein the electrolysis device is connected to the pressure side of the compressor for supplying hydrogen gas into the intake tract or connected to the combustion chamber for supplying hydrogen gas into the combustion chamber.

A method for operating an internal combustion engine having an engine with a first number of cylinders and a second number of cylinders and a supercharger arrangement, wherein a charge air flow supplied to the engine is compressed by means of at least one compressor and at least one turbine is acted on by an exhaust gas flow discharged from the engine. In a main operating mode, the engine operates the first number of cylinders in two-stroke operation and the second number of cylinders in four-stroke operation. A scavenging gradient of the engine is greater for the cylinders operated in the two-stroke operation than for the cylinders operated in the four-stroke operation.

A pulse exhaust pipe for use with diesel engines an end of the pulse exhaust pipe is in communication with eight cylinders, and another end is in communication with two turbochargers; the pulse exhaust pipe includes three exhaust pipe sections which are separated from each other, each exhaust pipe section discharging to a turbocharger independently, wherein a first exhaust pipe section is in communication with a first and second cylinder, while a second exhaust pipe section is in communication with a third to a sixth cylinder, and a third exhaust pipe section is in communication with a seventh and eighth cylinder. The pulse exhaust pipe may prevent the backward flow of exhaust gas and inlet air back flow, thus increasing inflation efficiency and improving the uniformity of each cylinder. Also provided is a diesel engine installed with said pulse exhaust pipe.

Techniques for controlling a forced-induction engine having a low pressure cooled exhaust gas recirculation (LPCEGR) system comprise determining a target boost device inlet pressure for each of one or more systems that could require a boost device inlet pressure change as part of their operation and boost device inlet pressure hardware limits for a set of components in the induction system, determining a final target boost device inlet pressure based on the determined sets of target boost device inlet pressures and boost device inlet pressure hardware limits, and controlling a differential pressure (dP) valve based on the final target boost device inlet pressure to balance (i) competing boost device inlet pressure targets of the one or more systems and (ii) the set of boost device inlet pressure hardware limits in order to optimize engine performance and prevent component damage.
