An engine system includes an engine with an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold, a turbocharger including a turbine in communication with the exhaust manifold and a compressor in communication with the intake manifold, and a regulator configured to control a flow of exhaust gas through the turbine. A controller of the engine system is operably connected with the regulator and is configured to monitor an engine load and an exhaust gas temperature during operation of the engine, identify a proscribed engine NOx emissions level based on the engine load and the exhaust gas temperature and, when the proscribed engine NOx emissions level is identified, modify the flow of exhaust gas through the turbine to reduce the energy extracted from the exhaust gas by the turbine and reduce a drive power provided to the compressor, thereby reducing a flow of intake air provided to the intake manifold by the compressor.

An engine system includes an internal combustion engine, an electrical power system configured to provide electrical power in the engine system, and an electrified air system powered by the electrical power system to selectively increase a flow of intake air and exhaust gas to the engine. The electrified air system further includes an EGR pump operable to recirculate a portion of exhaust gas output from the engine and an electric turbocharger including a turbine, a compressor driven by the turbine via a shaft coupled therebetween, and an electrical machine coupled to the shaft. The electrical machine is configured to operate in a motoring mode to drive the shaft and cause the compressor to output boosted intake air to the engine and operate in a generating mode to transform rotational power from the shaft into electrical power that is provided back into the electrical power system.

An engine system includes an internal combustion engine, an energy storage device configured to provide electrical power, and an electrified air-boost system powered by the electrical power from the energy storage device to boost intake air to the engine, with the electrified air-boost system further including an electrical machine and a pressure device driven by the electrical machine to output boosted intake air to the engine. The engine system also includes a controller operably connected with the electrified air-boost system, with the controller configured to monitor engine speed and engine load during operation of the engine, identify an impending engine stall condition based on the monitored engine speed and engine load, and when the impending engine stall condition is identified, temporarily operate the electrified air-boost system to boost the intake air to the engine, thereby boosting a torque output of the engine.

A dual turbocharger system for an engine is provided. In one example, the dual turbocharger system may include two variable geometry turbines (VGTs), with each turbine being of the same size and operating in parallel, and with each compressor of the turbocharger operating in series, the first compressor of the first turbocharger being larger than the second compressor of the second turbocharger.

A power system includes an engine; an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system supplying a first portion of the engine exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold; a turbine generator in communication with the exhaust manifold and configured to be driven by a second portion of the engine exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold to generate electrical power; a power network including at least one battery to store the electrical power generated by the turbine generator; and an electric compressor in fluid communication with the intake manifold and configured to be powered by the electrical power from the at least one battery of the power network and to compress at least a portion of the intake air for the engine.

A low-temperature turbocompressor structural arrangement for an internal combustion engine for using energy that is available but unused during operation to cool the air supplied to the engine by supercharging. The temperature of the air compressed by the compressor is reduced by a cooling system and the air is then conveyed to a further turbine actuated by the intake air flow of the engine. The structural arrangement may be mounted in full or in part, and also each component may be fitted into existing systems.

A method of operating an engine includes igniting a combustible mixture in a combustion chamber of the engine, which produces exhaust gases. The exhaust gases are ejected into an exhaust manifold of the engine to create a primary exhaust stream. A portion of the exhaust gases is separated from the primary exhaust stream to create a secondary exhaust stream. Air and fuel are then mixed with the secondary exhaust stream to form a reformer feed mixture. The reformer feed mixture is reacted in a catalytic reformer to create a reformate exhaust stream, which is then mixed with an intake air stream to create a mixed air stream. The mixed air stream is the fed to the combustion chamber of the engine as the combustible mixture.
