The utility vehicle includes a body; a frame that supports the body; an on-board device that is mounted on the frame and requires outside air; and an air intake conduit that is connected to the on-board device. An air intake port of the air intake conduit that sucks in outside air faces a center side of the utility vehicle.

A method of controlling an evaporative emissions system for a vehicle is provided. A fuel system for a vehicle and a vehicle are also provided. A signal indicative of an entry condition associated with a secondary air flow path for a purge of an evaporative emissions canister is received. A filter is decoupled from a port of the evaporative emissions canister in response to receiving the signal and prior to the evaporative emissions canister purge. The evaporative emissions canister is purged by flowing atmospheric air into the port and through the evaporative emissions canister while the filter is decoupled from the port. The filter is coupled to the port of the evaporative emissions canister after purging the canister.

An apparatus and method for a heat shield with an integrated air filter assembly is disclosed. Wherein the air filter assembly comprising a filter material circumferentially extending such that the filter material surrounds at least a portion of an interior cavity of the air filter, a distal end cap affixed to a distal end of the filter material, and a wire support extending along at least a portion of an exterior surface of the filter material; and wherein the heat shield is configured to direct cooler air into an air intake conduit extending from an intake portion of an automobile engine for combustion.

The invention relates to an intake device for a compressor. The intake device comprises a support structure having a plurality of struts which are arranged in the circumferential direction about an axis of the support structure and extend in the radial direction. Furthermore, the intake device comprises a plurality of first sound-damping elements which are arranged in the radial continuation of the plurality of struts. In addition, the intake device comprises a plurality of second sound-damping elements, each of which is arranged between adjacent first sound-damping elements. The invention furthermore relates to an exhaust-gas turbocharger having the intake device according to the invention, and an internal combustion engine having an exhaust-gas turbocharger of this kind.

A turbo-boost controlled intake system is disclosed that provides a driver of a vehicle with greater control over vehicle performance. The turbo-boost controlled intake system includes a control module that is coupled with an aircharger air intake. The control module instructs an electronic control unit of the vehicle to increase manifold pressure to a higher level before releasing the pressure through a waste gate so as to provide a greater power output of the engine. The turbo-boost controlled intake system further includes a wiring harness and a signal adjuster. The wiring harness couples the control module with a turbo inlet pressure sensor, a manifold absolute pressure sensor, and an electronic control unit of the vehicle. The signal adjuster includes a rheostat that enables manual adjustment of the power output of the engine.

Provided herein is internal combustion engine system including: an internal combustion engine; a turbocharger turbine operatively connected to a turbocharger compressor; an air intake system; an exhaust gas system; an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) conduit; an EGR valve; and a turbomachine arranged in the EGR conduit. Further, the EGR valve and the turbomachine are positioned in relation to each other in the EGR conduit such that a flow of high pressure exhaust gas through the EGR conduit towards the air intake system reaches the EGR valve before reaching the turbomachine; an additional exhaust gas conduit is arranged between the EGR conduit and a point of the exhaust system downstream the turbocharger turbine so as to allow exhaust gas to flow.

A cylinder head assembly includes a cast cylinder head and a turbocharger housing integrally cast with the cylinder head. The integrated cylinder head and turbocharger housing includes: (i) a compact low wetted area to provide an uninterrupted flow path pointed directly at a catalyst face to facilitate achieving cold start emissions targets, (ii) a casting core assembly with specific core geometry and steps for assembly to enable core assembly while meeting all cylinder head and integrated turbine housing functional requirements, (iii) an oxygen sensor disposed pre-turbine in an integrated exhaust manifold, and (iv) a fully integrated PCV make-up air system.

A battery temperature adjusting device for a vehicle on which a battery is mounted, the battery being a lithium ion battery disposed near a powertrain unit inside an engine bay, is provided. The device includes a first air duct provided to an intake passage configured to lead intake air to a combustion chamber of an engine, a second air duct provided to the intake passage and provided with an intake opening that opens toward a space between the powertrain unit and the battery, an intake-air-amount adjusting part, and a controller configured to acquire an ambient temperature of the powertrain unit. The controller increases a ratio of the second intake air amount relative to the sum of the first intake air amount and the second intake air amount, when the ambient temperature exceeds a first threshold temperature, compared with when the ambient temperature is below the first threshold temperature.

The intake air cooling device 100A constitutes a heat exchange device that performs heat exchange of the intake air of the internal combustion engine 6. The intake air cooling device 100A includes the heat exchange part 1A configured to perform heat exchange between the cooling liquid W that is introduced thereto and the intake air that is passing therethrough, and the intake air control valve 2 configured to perform control of the intake air that passes through the heat exchange part 1A. The cooling liquid introduction port 13 of the heat exchange part 1A and the intake air control valve 2 are provided at positions opposing each other with respect to the heat exchange part 1A.

An engine device including an exhaust gas purification device above cylinder head through a support pedestal. The support pedestal has a flat portion on which the exhaust gas purification device is mounted, and a plurality of legs which protrude downward from the flat portion and are fixed to the cylinder head. The flat portion and the leg portions are formed integrally. Portions between the legs are each formed in an arch-shape.
