Engine system with intake bypass device
An object is to provide an engine system including an intake bypass device whereby it is possible to expand the operation range of a compressor without causing the output of a turbine to become insufficient. An engine system includes an intake bypass device including a bypass channel connecting a downstream side of a compressor of a turbocharger in an intake channel and an upstream side of a turbine of the turbocharger in an exhaust channel, a bypass valve disposed in the bypass channel and configured to control a flow of compressed intake air in the bypass channel, and a heating unit for heating the compressed intake air flowing through the bypass channel.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING AIR FLOW PATHS IN AN ENGINE
Methods and systems are provided for controlling a temperature of gases within a heat exchanger, a ratio of gases output by the heat exchanger, and selectively charging/discharging gases from the heat exchanger to one or both of an intake system or an exhaust system. In one example, a method may include controlling operation of an energy recovery device coupled to the heat exchanger in response to engine operating conditions, and increasing or decreasing flow of exhaust gas and/or compressed intake air into the heat exchanger in response to energy recovery device output.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTION SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
A carbon monoxide detection system is provided for a motor vehicle. That carbon monoxide detection system includes a carbon monoxide detector, a battery-free power circuit for powering the carbon monoxide detector and a control module. The control module is configured to stop an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle when a concentration of carbon monoxide detected by the carbon monoxide detector over a set period of time exceeds a predetermined level.

CONTROL APPARATUS FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
A control apparatus for an internal combustion engine (i) acquires a rotational speed signal correlated with a rotational speed of the internal combustion engine, (ii) extracts, from the acquired rotational speed signal, at least first-order and lower-order than the first-order components of the rotational speed signal, (iii) extracts, from the acquired rotational speed signal, at least an n-th-order component of the rotational speed signal, (iv) determines that no disturbance has occurred when a first-order parameter regarding a magnitude of an amplitude of the extracted first-order and lower-order than the first-order components is smaller than a first threshold, and (v) determines that a disturbance has occurred when the first-order parameter is equal to or larger than the first threshold and an n-th-order parameter regarding an amplitude of the extracted n-th-order component is equal to or larger than a second threshold.
