A turbine supercharger includes: a turbine; a turbine housing which houses the turbine; and a turbine bypass valve for controlling a flow rate of exhaust gas to be supplied to the turbine. The turbine housing includes, inside the turbine housing: a scroll flow passage for guiding the exhaust gas to the turbine; an outlet flow passage for discharging the exhaust gas supplied to the turbine to outside of the turbine housing; and a bypass flow passage bypassing the turbine and connecting the scroll flow passage and the outlet flow passage. The turbine bypass valve includes: a valve rod; a valve body having a flat plate shape and being configured to revolve about the valve rod; and a valve housing having a cylindrical shape and defining a part of the bypass flow passage inside the valve housing. The valve housing is fixed to an inner peripheral wall surface of the bypass flow passage, inside the turbine housing.

An engine system includes an internal combustion engine and a first and second air charge system. The internal combustion engine comprises an air intake system and an exhaust manifold. The first air charge system comprising a first compressor, a turbine, and a generator/motor module. The first compressor has a first air inlet, a first air outlet, and a first input shaft. The first outlet is connected to the air intake system, the turbine has an exhaust gas inlet, and the exhaust gas inlet is connected to an outlet of the exhaust manifold. The second air charge system includes a second compressor and an electric motor. The second compressor has a second air inlet, a second air outlet, and a second input shaft. The electric motor has an outlet shaft directly coupled for common rotation with the first input shaft of the second compressor.

An air handling arrangement in a two-stroke cycle, opposed-piston engine with uniflow scavenging and constructed for heavy-duty operation includes sequentially arranged turbochargers in series with a supercharger. In some aspects, the air handling system is equipped with an EGR channel.

A turbocharger and method of controlling the same includes a turbine housing comprising an inlet and an outlet, turbine wheel coupled to a shaft. The turbine housing comprising a first scroll and a second scroll for fluidically coupling the inlet and the turbine wheel. The first scroll has a first end adjacent the inlet and a second end adjacent the turbine wheel. The second scroll has a third end adjacent the inlet and a fourth end adjacent the turbine wheel. An exhaust gas diverter valve is coupled to the turbine housing restricting flow into the first scroll or the second scroll.

Methods and systems are provided for controlling boost pressure in a staged engine system comprising a turbocharger and an upstream electric supercharger. In one example, a method may include coordinating the operation of the electric supercharger and an electric supercharger bypass valve and to open the electric supercharger bypass valve to reduce the extent and duration of electric supercharger overboost.

A valve arrangement included in an engine peripheral structure provided with an intake system in an engine room, includes: a low-pressure intake passage of the intake system, arranged around an engine main body mounted in the engine room and connected to a passage upstream of a supercharger of the intake system in an intake direction; a high-pressure intake passage of the intake system, connected to a passage downstream of the supercharger in the intake direction; and an air bypass valve connected between the low-pressure intake passage and the high-pressure intake passage. The air bypass valve is fixed on a part of the low-pressure intake passage facing the engine main body.

This control device starts an electric motor on the basis of a drive signal. After starting of the electric motor, the control device switches a bypass valve from an open state to a closed state.

In an engine system 10 having a high-pressure stage turbocharger 11 and a low-pressure stage turbocharger 12 provided in series, a control device 40 is configured to perform control such that when switching from multi-stage supercharging Cm to single-stage supercharging Cs, after only the exhaust bypass valve 23 is opened, and thereafter, an intake bypass valve 21 is opened later than at a timing at which the exhaust bypass valve 23 is opened.

A vent insert is disclosed for use with an automotive turbocharger system. The vent has a substantially cylindrical hollow tube with a first end for seating the vent and a second open end. The first end has a rim around an opening. The second end of the vent has an angled opening that faces away from the direction of the gas flow when the vent insert is operating within the turbocharger system. There are a plurality of protrusions extending outward from the outside surface of the vent to assist in keeping the vent insert in place in the turbocharger system.

A valve having a housing, a solenoid arranged in the housing, a pin movable by the solenoid, a piston connected to the pin, a second housing part that bears against the housing and which partially accommodates the piston, and a seal arranged between the second housing part and piston. The seal is connected to the second housing part. The seal surrounds a region of the second housing part such that the region forms at least one undercut for the seal.
