The present invention provides a piping unit that facilitates downsizing of a cooler by decreasing the temperature of fluid to be introduced into the cooler without reducing the cooling effect of a cooler. A piping unit is for introduction of heated fluid into a cooler, the piping unit being formed from synthetic resin and including a heat exchange structure on an inner peripheral surface.

An air cooling system for a vehicle engine includes an air intake configured to receive intake air for delivery to the engine, a first coolant loop thermally coupled to the air intake to provide cooling to the intake air, and a second coolant loop thermally coupled to the air intake to provide further cooling to the intake air. The first and second coolant loops are separate loops using a common condenser

An engine may include a plurality of cylinders generating driving torque by burning fuel; a first intake valve disposed in a first intake line in which intake air supplied to the cylinders flows; a second intake valve disposed in a second intake line in which intake air supplied to the cylinders flows; a first electric supercharger disposed in the first intake line; a second electric supercharger disposed in the second intake line; a bypass valve disposed in a bypass line connecting the first intake line and the second intake line; and a controller for controlling the first electric supercharger and the second electric supercharger to be operated in a single mode, a serial mode, or a parallel mode based on an operating region of the engine determined by driving information.

Various methods and systems are provided for an exhaust gas recirculation system. In one embodiment, an engine method comprises routing exhaust gas from a first cylinder group of an engine to an exhaust gas recirculation passage coupled to both an intake passage and an exhaust passage of the engine, the first cylinder group having a first amount of positive intake and exhaust valve overlap, and routing exhaust gas from a second cylinder group of the engine only to the exhaust passage of the engine, the second cylinder group having a second, smaller amount of positive intake and exhaust valve overlap.

An engine assembly including an engine core including at least one internal combustion engine each including a rotor sealingly and rotationally received within a respective internal cavity to provide rotating chambers of variable volume in the respective internal cavity, a compressor having an outlet in fluid communication with an inlet of the engine core, a first intake conduit in fluid communication with an inlet of the compressor and with a first source of air, a second intake conduit in fluid communication with the inlet of the compressor and with a second source of air warmer than the first source of air, and a selector valve configurable to selectively open and close at least the fluid communication between the inlet of the compressor and the first intake conduit. A method of supplying air to a compressor is also discussed.

An internal combustion engine, especially a diesel internal combustion engine, having at least one intercooler, at least one control unit, at least a first and a second cooling circuit, whereby the cooler of the first cooling circuit is flow-connected to a cooling circuit of the internal combustion engine, while the cooler of the second cooling circuit of the internal combustion engine is flow-connected to the intercooler.

A modular heat exchanger assembly for ultra-large radiator applications. At least two heat exchanger cores are arranged in parallel flow, each core including inlet and outlet tanks sealingly attached to opposing headers at each end of a plurality of tubes. Each header is formed by securing mating header plates having mating openings. A plurality of O-rings are trapped within O-ring grooves formed by continuous depressions around each of the mating openings, and a portion of each tube is disposed within one of the O-rings and expanded outwardly to form a seal at each tube-to-header joint. A common tank is connected between tanks at adjacent ends of each heat exchanger core, and separate tanks are connected to the tank at the opposing ends of each core. The separate tanks may be inlet tanks and the common tank may be an outlet tank for fluid, or the flow path may be reversed.

The present disclosure relates to a turbocharged internal combustion engine which will flush dirt periodically from the heat exchange surfaces of the LT-charge air cooler by using water condensed on the heat exchange surfaces for the flushing.

An engine system with exhaust gas recirculation includes a combustion engine, a flow mixer, and a turbocharger. An exhaust flow path and a charge air flow path each extend to an inlet of the flow mixer, and a mixed gas flow path extends between the outlet of the flow mixer and an intake manifold of the engine. A charge air heat exchanger is arranged along the charge air flow path to cool the charge air, and a mixed gas heat exchanger is arranged along the mixed gas flow path to cool mixed charge air and recirculated exhaust gas. The exhaust gas recirculation flow path does not extend through any heat exchangers.

A cooling system for a vehicle, includes a first cooling circuit including a first coolant passage and a first pump. The first pump is provided in the first coolant passage to circulate coolant in the first cooling circuit so as to cool a first device to a first temperature. A second cooling circuit includes a second coolant passage and a second pump. The second pump is provided in the second coolant passage to circulate coolant in the second cooling circuit so as to cool a second device to a second temperature. The second temperature is lower than the first temperature. The coolant introduction passage connects the first cooling circuit and a connected portion of the second cooling circuit between the second device and a second radiator and upstream of the second device to supply the coolant in the first cooling circuit to the second cooling circuit.
