In an air handling system of an opposed-piston engine, mass airflow sensor operation is monitored by comparing mass airflow measured by the sensor with mass airflow through a supercharger.

An air intake passage (30) has a third passage (37) that connects an intercooler (36) and a bottom portion of a surge tank (38) such that the intercooler (36) is positioned below the surge tank (38). A pair of wall portions (71, 72) configured to catch moisture is formed in a section from an upstream end portion of the third passage (37) to a connected portion between said third passage (37) and the surge tank (38).

In the engine device having an exhaust gas purification device which removes particulate matters in exhaust gas of the engine or nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas of the engine, the exhaust gas purification device is firmly fixed to a support base, and an exhaust gas outlet pipe of the engine is provided with an exhaust connection portion which connects an exhaust gas inlet of the exhaust gas purification device, and a support base connection portion which connects the support base.

A control system for an internal combustion engine includes an electric supercharger that includes a compressor wheel that is configured to be rotated by an electric motor. The control system includes a bypass passage, a bypass valve, and an exhaust gas recirculation passage. The control device is configured to control the electric supercharger and the bypass valve based on an operation condition of the internal combustion engine. The control device is configured to cause a stepping operation of the electric supercharger in which acceleration and stopping of the compressor wheel are repeated within a predetermined cleaning time after operation of the internal combustion engine is stopped.

A system and method for cylinder deactivation in a multi-cylinder diesel engine comprises pumping air in to an intake manifold of the diesel engine using a turbocharger. Air is pumped in to the intake manifold using an intake air assisting device. And, fuel injection is selectively deactivated to at least one of the cylinders in the diesel engine. An intake valve and an exhaust valve is selectively deactivated for the at least one of the cylinders of the diesel engine.

Methods and systems are provided for regenerating an exhaust particulate filter during an engine non-combusting condition. In one example, a method may include, responsive to a higher than first threshold soot load on the PF and a higher than threshold PF temperature, regenerating the PF by flowing compressed air through the PF via operation of an electric booster coupled to the intake manifold.

An apparatus of purifying exhaust gas of a hybrid vehicle includes an electric supercharger disposed on an air intake line, a post-treatment unit disposed on an exhaust gas line and including an electrically-heated catalyst, an exhaust gas recirculation unit including an exhaust gas recirculation cooler disposed on a recirculation line connecting the post-treatment unit and the intake line and an exhaust gas recirculation valve disposed on the recirculation line, a three-way valve disposed at a position at which the recirculation line diverges into a front end portion and a rear end portion of the intake line, and a controller electrically connected to the three-way valve and configured for controlling the three-way valve connecting the intake line and the recirculation line at the front end portion of the electric supercharger to be selectively opened or closed.
