Engine system with air pump for enhanced turbocharger air exchange
An engine system includes an internal combustion engine having an engine block with one or more piston-cylinder arrangements communicating with an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold, a charge air passageway to the intake manifold, and an exhaust gas passageway that receives exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold. The engine system also includes one or more turbochargers each including a compressor to compress charge air and output the compressed charge air to the charge air passageway and a turbine that receives exhaust gas from the exhaust gas passageway and drives the compressor in response to the exhaust gas passing through the turbine. An air pump is positioned downstream of the compressor that supplies a portion of the compressed charge air into the exhaust gas passageway upstream of the turbine, such that the turbine receives both exhaust gas and compressed charge air.

EXHAUST GAS CLEANING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLEANING EXHAUST GAS AND USE OF EXHAUST GAS CLEANING SYSTEM
An exhaust gas cleaning system includes a particle filter device comprising a casing, plural hollow ceramic filter rods arranged at least partly inside a gas passage of the casing, and a gas inlet and gas outlet. The particle filter device guides exhaust gas from the gas inlet, through the gas passage and to the gas outlet. The particle filter device further comprises a perforated plate extending at least partly along the filter rods and partly blocking an exhaust gas flow path from the gas inlet to the gas passage. The perforated plate defines openings allowing exhaust gas to flow into the gas passage. The filter rods are gas permeable to allow exhaust gas to penetrate, during filtration, a respective wall of the filter rods and flow into the filter rods. A respective open upper end of the filter rods communicates with the gas outlet so exhaust gas leaves the casing.
Method for adjusting the loading of a particulate filter
The invention relates in particular to a method for adjusting the loading (19) of a particulate filter (9) and to an assembly designed to carry out the method, wherein the exhaust gas aftertreatment unit (8) comprises at least two SCR systems (11, 12) and a particulate filter (9), a first operating material amount being introduced in a metered manner before the first SCR system (11), and a second operating material amount being introduced in a metered manner before the second SCR system (12), the operating material being convertible into a reducing agent. The state of loading of the particulate filter (9) is determined using a model, and, if the determined state of loading is below a previously defined loading range (16), the first operating material amount is adjusted in such a way that the amount of reducing agent is greater than or equal to the amount of reducing agent necessary for nitrogen oxide reduction in accordance with the reaction stoichiometry in the first SCR system (11), and/or, if the determined state of loading is above a previously defined loading range (16), the first operating material amount is adjusted in such a way that the amount of reducing agent is less than the amount of reducing agent necessary for nitrogen oxide reduction in accordance with the reaction stoichiometry in the first SCR system (11).

COMPOSITION FOR CLEANING DPF FILTERS FOR DIESEL ENGINE EXHAUST GASES AND METHOD FOR CLEANING THE SAME
The present invention relates to a chemical composition that removes accumulated impurities from a DPF in an easy and fast manner. The filter does not need to be removed from the vehicle, as cleaning is done by injecting the liquid through the temperature probe opening, and the chemical composition used is completely biodegradable. Cleaning with the chemical composition of the invention is not time consuming, is easy to perform and, results in completely purified DPF. Presented chemical composition for cleaning DPFs comprises alkyl sulfonic acid and distilled water, wherein the alkyl sulfonic acid is a short alkyl chain sulfonic acid with up to 4 carbon atoms (methane sulfonic acid, ethane sulfonic acid, propane sulfonic acid or butane sulfonic acid), with methane sulfonic acid being preferred due to its properties and availability.
ENGINE SYSTEM WITH AIR PUMP FOR ENHANCED TURBOCHARGER AIR EXCHANGE
An engine system includes an internal combustion engine having an engine block with one or more piston-cylinder arrangements communicating with an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold, a charge air passageway to the intake manifold, and an exhaust gas passageway that receives exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold. The engine system also includes one or more turbochargers each including a compressor to compress charge air and output the compressed charge air to the charge air passageway and a turbine that receives exhaust gas from the exhaust gas passageway and drives the compressor in response to the exhaust gas passing through the turbine. An air pump is positioned downstream of the compressor that supplies a portion of the compressed charge air into the exhaust gas passageway upstream of the turbine, such that the turbine receives both exhaust gas and compressed charge air.

Nonwoven screens for dust trapping in laser discharge chambers
A system for removing particulate matter from the gas in a gas discharge laser includes one or more nonwoven screens which are optimized for, among others, manufacturability and feature integration. The nonwoven screens are configured for precisely directing the flow to optimize the separation of particles from the gas flow and provide sufficient surface area for improved dust adherence.
