A two-stroke cycle, turbo-driven, opposed-piston engine with one or more ported cylinders and uniflow scavenging has no supercharger. The engine includes a high pressure EGR loop and a pump in the EGR loop to boost the pressure of the recirculated exhaust products.

An engine includes a breather conduit, an intake conduit, and an air filter assembly. The assembly includes a filter element having a top wall, a bottom wall, a first aperture through the bottom wall, a second aperture through the bottom wall, and filter media extending between the top and bottom walls, wherein the first and second apertures are the same shape, the same size, and are equally spaced apart from the center of the bottom wall. The filter assembly also includes a case. The filter element is configured to be received in the case such that the breather conduit and the intake conduit are directed to and from the interior chamber of the filter element, respectively, whereby air filtered by the filter media mixes with unfiltered gases from the breather conduit in the interior chamber of the filter element prior to entering the intake conduit.

A rotating separator has a housing preventing separated liquid carryover. A plenum between the annular rotating separating filter element and the housing sidewall has one or more flow path separating guides minimizing the flow of separated liquid to the outlet. The flow path guides may include one or more fins and/or swirl flow dampers and/or a configured surface.

The present utility model relates to the technical field of engines, in particular to a low-emission cylinder with an external scavenging duct, wherein cylinder side covers are mounted on two opposite side walls of a cylinder body, a top surface of the cylinder body is a top surface of the uppermost cooling fin and a bottom surface thereof is a mounting surface, an exhaust port is provided in an inner cylinder bore of the cylinder body, an exhaust outlet is provided on a side wall of the cylinder body corresponding to the exhaust port, scavenging ports are respectively provided on two side walls in the inner cylinder bore adjacent to the exhaust port, a scavenging bore is provided in the side wall opposite to the exhaust port in an axial direction, a scavenging duct inlet is provided on the mounting surface corresponding to the side wall of the scavenging bore, scavenging grooves are respectively provided outside the side walls corresponding to the scavenging ports, and scavenging duct is formed between the corresponding scavenging port, the scavenging groove, the scavenging bore, the scavenging duct inlet and the cylinder side cover. The advantages are as follows: the low-emission cylinder can not only ensure the power performance and economical efficiency of engines, has low emission values without needing a secondary purification treatment, but can also satisfy the requirements on the limit values of emission standard.

Methods and systems are provided for exhaust leak management in an engine. The exhaust leakage management system may include a port disposed to capture leaked exhaust along a movable portion associated with a turbine. The exhaust leakage management system may also include a three-way valve at a bifurcation of the port, directing leaked exhaust either to a first passage fluidically connected to a crankcase of the engine or to a second passage fluidically connected to a downstream portion of an exhaust pipe, depending on engine operating conditions.

A PCV valve that also monitors the flow of gases produced by use of a turbocharger. A spring biased plunger member is used to restrict and meter the flow of gases through the PCV valve. A nozzle member with a Venturi throat is used to allow back flow caused by use of a turbocharger. The nozzle member can be part of a module including a passageway member that can be closed by the plunger member.

Systems and methods for ventilating crankcase gases in a crankcase ventilation system via crankcase pressure pulsations are disclosed. In one example approach, a method comprises driving flow of crankcase ventilation gases through a crankcase of the engine from a fresh air inlet of the crankcase to an outlet of the crankcase via crankcase pressure pulsations while restricting backflow of crankcase ventilation gases from the outlet to the inlet, where the inlet and outlet are coupled upstream of an intake throttle of the engine.

A method and system is provided for regenerating and cleaning an air-oil coalescer of a crankcase ventilation system of an internal combustion engine generating blowby gas in a crankcase. The coalescer coalesces oil from the blowby gas. The method and system includes regenerating and cleaning the coalescer by intermittent rotation thereof.

An oil drain structure for an oil mist separator including a drain pipe extending from the oil mist separator into the internal combustion engine, the drain pipe having an oil discharge hole extending through a lower end portion of the drain pipe along an axial direction of the drain pipe, and a check valve including a valve body disposed below the lower end portion of the drain pipe, the valve body acting to open and close the oil discharge hole from a side of a lower surface of the lower end portion of the drain pipe, a valve head portion fitted into the drain pipe with a fine clearance as an orifice and being moveable in the axial direction of the drain pipe, and a stem portion extending through the oil discharge hole to connect the valve body and the valve head portion with each other.
