A shut-off member for a turbocharger for an internal combustion engine includes a first channel, a second channel, and a wall that separates the first channel from the second channel. A shut-off member opening is formed in the wall that connects the first channel and the second channel. The shut-off member opening is selectively openable and closable by a shut-off member body. A cooling channel is disposed in the wall and at least partially surrounds the shut-off member opening.

A compact flow control valve capable of providing long service life in a very hostile environment. The valve is a mono or dual coaxial slider valve capable of controlling two different functions sequentially, at least one of the functions being controlled progressively. The flow control valve controls the fluid connection between two volutes (6, 7) of a turbine housing (2) of a turbocharger as well as the fluid connection between the two volutes (6, 7) of the turbine housing (2) of the turbocharger and a waste gate port (9).

A turbocharger (1) including a twin scroll turbine and a valve assembly (40, 140) disposed in the exhaust gas inlet (24, 124) that is configured to control the flow exhaust gas through the turbine. The valve assembly (40, 140) includes two rotary valves (60, 160, 80, 180) actuated by a common valve shaft (44, 144). One of the valves (60, 180) may control exhaust gas flow to a volute or between volutes, and the other (80, 160) may control wastegate exhaust gas flow. The valve shaft (44, 144) is driven by an actuator to rotate about the valve shaft rotational axis (46, 146) such that the first valve (60, 160) and the second valve (80, 180) can each be selectively moved between a closed position and an open position, and the time sequence order of opening of the first valve (60, 160) and the second valve (80, 180) is selectable.

A method of operating a gasoline engine having a first subset of cylinders and a second subset of cylinders includes providing a flow of compressed air from a single-sequential compressor to the engine, selectively deactivating the first subset of cylinders, and igniting gasoline mixed with the compressed air in the second subset of cylinders. The single-sequential compressor includes a dual sided impeller having a first blade arrangement in fluid communication with a first air inlet, and an opposing second blade arrangement in fluid communication with a second air inlet. Additionally, deactivating the first subset of cylinders includes sealing the first subset of cylinders such that the flow of compressed air is provided only to the second subset of cylinders.

An intake manifold is provided. A first inlet is structured to receive pressurized intake air from a turbocharger. A second inlet is structured to receive exhaust gas recirculation gas from an exhaust gas recirculation system. A third inlet is structured to receive fuel from a fuel line. A plurality of outlets are structured to be fluidly coupled to an engine. An intake manifold passage extends between each of the first, second, and third inlets, and the plurality of outlets. The intake manifold passage is shaped so as to cause at least two reversals in flow direction of each of the intake air, the exhaust gas recirculation gas, and the fuel through the intake manifold passage so as to improve mixing of each of the intake air, the exhaust gas recirculation gas, and the fuel.

An asymmetric double-entry turbine is provided with a turbine housing that includes a first volute, a second volute and a turbine receiving bore.

The first exhaust gas outlet has an angular opening amount of more than 180 degrees around the turbine receiving bore. The second exhaust gas outlet has an angular opening amount of less than 180 degrees around the turbine receiving bore.

An internal combustion engine with a turbocharger according to an embodiment includes a cylinder block internally including a plurality of cylinders, a cylinder head disposed on top of the cylinder block, and internally including a plurality of exhaust flow passages through which exhaust air discharged from each of the plurality of cylinders flows, and the turbocharger including a rotational shaft, a turbine wheel, and a compressor wheel, the turbine wheel being disposed at one end of the rotational shaft, the compressor wheel being disposed at the other end of the rotational shaft. At least the turbine wheel of the turbocharger is arranged inside the cylinder head. The cylinder head internally includes a plurality of scroll passages for introducing the exhaust air flowing through the plurality of exhaust flow passages to the turbine wheel, the plurality of scroll passages including a first scroll passage for introducing the exhaust air from a first range in a circumferential direction of the turbine wheel to the turbine wheel, and a second scroll passage for introducing the exhaust air from a second range, which is different from the first range in the circumferential direction of the turbine wheel, to the turbine wheel.

A multi-flow exhaust gas turbocharger (101) comprising a turbine (105), a turbine wheel, a first flow (1) and a second flow (2), a bypass line (6) for bypassing the turbine wheel, a bypass valve unit (107) for adjusting the size of a bypass exhaust gas flow through the bypass line (6), and comprising a flow connection unit (108) for adjusting an extent of the connection of exhaust gas flows into the flows (1, 2), characterized in that the bypass valve unit (107) and the flow connection unit (108) can be actuated in a mechanically coupled way by means of a coupling unit (109).

An internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The engine has at least two combustion chambers and an exhaust gas tract with at least one exhaust gas duct associated with the combustion chambers and through which exhaust gas from the combustion chambers can flow to guide the exhaust gas to a turbine of an exhaust gas turbocharger. An exhaust gas return line branches off the exhaust gas duct and has an adjustable shut-off element, by which a respective cross section, through which exhaust gas can flow, of the exhaust gas recirculation line and the exhaust gas duct can be adjusted. The internal combustion engine can be operated in a cylinder shut-down mode, in which introduction of fuel into a first of the combustion chambers is prevented and introduction of fuel into the second combustion chamber takes place. A method for operating the internal combustion engine is also disclosed.

Methods and systems are provided for enhancing turbocharger performance for a boosted engine system configured to operate with a pattern of deactivated cylinders. In one example, a method may include, in response to a demand for boost, operating with a cylinder pattern based on boost demand and turbocharger configuration. The specific pattern may depend on the pattern constraints imposed by engine load and NVH metrics.
