Methods and systems are provided for engine braking in a vehicle. In one example, a method may include deactivating fueling to at least one cylinder of an engine, increasing an air mass provided to the engine via an electric boosting device, and adjusting an exhaust valve opening timing of the at least one cylinder in response to a request for engine braking. In this way, an amount of engine braking torque may be increased with reduced wear to engine system components.

Systems and apparatuses include a system including an electronic compressor, a bypass intake coupled between an engine system of a generator set and the electronic compressor, a bypass outlet coupled between the electronic compressor and the engine system, and a valve positioned to selectively inhibit flow between the bypass intake and the bypass outlet during a starting operation.

A bearing arrangement for a turbomachine includes first and second roller element bearings. The first bearing and the second bearing are disposed on opposite axial ends of an intermediate sleeve of the rotating group. The first bearing has a first inner race with a first inner radial surface and a first outer radial surface. The first inner radial surface has a first interference fit with a shaft of the rotating group. The first outer radial surface has a second interference fit with the intermediate sleeve. The second bearing has a second inner race with a second inner radial surface and a second outer radial surface. The second inner race receives the shaft with a clearance fit. The second outer radial surface has a third interference fit with the intermediate sleeve. The second inner race is coaxially aligned with the first inner race and the shaft via coaxial alignment of the intermediate sleeve and the first inner race.

A controller for an aftertreatment system coupled to an engine is configured to: in response to receiving an engine shutdown signal, determine an estimated amount of ammonia stored on a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst included in the aftertreatment system; in response to determining that the estimated amount of ammonia stored in the SCR catalyst is less than an ammonia storage threshold, cause flow of a heated gas towards the SCR catalyst; cause insertion of reductant into an exhaust gas flowing through the aftertreatment system; and in response to determining that the estimated amount of ammonia stored in the SCR catalyst is equal to or greater than the ammonia storage threshold, cause shutdown of the engine.

It is aimed to provide an internal combustion engine (10) comprising: an exhaust line (13) configured to receive exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine (10). An intake line (12) is configured to supply pressurized air from an air intake to the internal combustion engine. A heater (20) is disposed adjacent the exhaust line (13) to generate heat that is transported via the exhaust line to an exhaust aftertreatment system (30). A bypass line (11) controllably connects the intake line to the exhaust line to bypass the engine An electric flow generator (40) is arranged in the intake line and/or bypass line between the air intake and the inlet opening to supply intake air to the exhaust line; and a control system is arranged to selectively control the bypass line (11) to provide pressurized intake air from the electric flow generator, via the inlet opening (17) to supply intake air to the exhaust line for transporting heat generated by the heater towards the aftertreatment system.

New and/or alternative approaches to performance control in an engine system having a compressor configured to receive torque from each of a turbine placed in an exhaust output of an engine and an electric motor. A control unit for the electric motor, referred to as an ETurbo controller, is provided with each of a speed control signal and a torque control signal from an engine control unit. The ETurbo controller is configured to use the torque control signal and speed control signal to operate the electric motor without causing the compressor to exceed a speed boundary.
