A method of controlling a turbine of an exhaust heat recovery system in which heat of exhaust gas evaporates a working fluid through a heat exchanger provided in an exhaust pipe and the working fluid is supplied to the turbine may include measuring an internal temperature of the heat exchanger, and rotating the turbine in a reverse direction when the measured internal temperature is a predetermined temperature or less.

A valve assembly comprises: a valve housing comprising an interior cavity having upstream side and a downstream side; and a valve member movable within the valve housing between a closed position in which flow between the upstream side and the downstream side is prevented or substantially prevented and one or more open positions in which flow between the upstream side and the downstream side is enabled. The valve assembly further comprises: a sensor mounting flange on an exterior surface of the valve housing; a first bore in the valve housing linking the upstream side of the valve housing and the sensor mounting flange; and a second bore in the valve housing linking the downstream side of the valve housing and the sensor mounting flange; such that a sensor configured to measure a differential between the upstream side and the downstream side is mountable directly on the valve assembly.

A product may include a bearing housing in which a shaft may be supported by a bearing so that it may rotate. A compressor wheel may be disposed on the shaft. A compressor cover may be connected with the bearing housing, which may form a compressor body and may define a chamber within which the compressor wheel may rotate. A diffuser may extend radially outward from the chamber and may receive gas from the compressor wheel. An inlet may be provided to the compressor body, which may receive a supply of exhaust gas. An EGR distribution cavity may be defined within the compressor body and may extend around the shaft. An EGR inlet channel may extend into the bearing housing from the inlet to the EGR distribution cavity. An EGR passage may extend from the EGR distribution cavity to the diffuser.

An engine system includes an internal combustion engine with two sets of cylinders, a turbocharger, two exhaust conduits providing fluid communication between the turbocharger and an exhaust of the cylinders, and an exhaust gas recirculation system including a recirculation valve. Two proportional exhaust valves are adapted to control a flow of exhaust gas in the two exhaust conduits. An actuator includes an output component operating the recirculation valve and the two exhaust valves. In a neutral position, the two exhaust valves are open and the recirculation valve is closed. A first movement of the output component, from its neutral position towards a first position, open the recirculation valve and close a first of the two exhaust valve. A second movement, from the first position and in the same direction as the first movement, close the second exhaust valve and hold open the recirculation valve and closed the first exhaust valve.

An EGR mixing and adjusting apparatus and an internal combustion engine including the EGR mixing and adjusting apparatus. The EGR mixing and adjusting apparatus includes an EGR tube internally provided with an EGR mixing chamber. An exhaust gas inlet communicating with the EGR mixing chamber is provided at a side wall of the EGR tube. A gas guide sliding block is provided within the EGR tube and slides axially therein to block or open the exhaust gas inlet. The EGR mixing and adjusting apparatus includes a driving device to drive the gas guide sliding block to slide to a predetermined open position. The EGR tube uses the exhaust gas inlet to guide exhaust gas into the EGR mixing chamber and mixes the exhaust gas with fresh air inside the EGR tube. The gas guide sliding block slides axially in the EGR tube to block or open the exhaust gas inlet.

An automotive induction system cleaning module including a connector configured to connect in use to a supply of cleaning solution, an injector in fluid communication with the connector, and a nozzle in fluid communication with the injector, wherein the injector and nozzle are closely connected so as to minimise a fluid flow path between them.
