A construction machine includes: an engine driving at least one hydraulic pump configured to supply operating oil to a hydraulic actuator; an exhaust adjustment mechanism adjusting a flow rate of exhaust from the engine; and a control device controlling the exhaust adjustment mechanism. The control device determines whether or not a first downhill traveling condition and/or a second downhill traveling condition are/is satisfied. When at least one of the first downhill traveling condition and the second downhill traveling condition is satisfied, the control device controls the exhaust adjustment mechanism such that the exhaust adjustment mechanism executes exhaust brake.

Systems, apparatuses and methods are disclosed that include an internal combustion engine including a plurality of cylinders operable by a valve actuation mechanism including a lifting mechanism having a compression brake valve profile configured to selectively lift the exhaust valves on a downstroke of the cylinders in response to a cranking condition of the internal combustion engine, wherein the compression braking valve profile is phased to the upstroke of the pistons.

The invention provides a combined engine braking method and a turbocharging control device, including an air injection mechanism, through which air is injected into an engine (including into an exhaust flow passage downstream of an exhaust manifold of the engine, onto a guide gate provided in the exhaust flow passage, turbine blades of a turbocharger or an impeller of a compressor of the turbocharger), the operation of the turbocharger is controlled, and the airflow and the pressure of the engine are regulated. By the combined use of the turbocharging control device of the present invention and an engine braking device, a high-performance combined engine braking method is realized. The system of the present invention is compact in structure, of a small volume and can be arranged on the upstream of the turbine or on the turbocharger to make full use of the turbocharger, thereby reducing turbo lag, increasing exhaust gas circulation, reducing engine exhaust emission and increasing engine braking power.
